We are all aware of our love for snakes and all things scaley BUT what other unusual hobbies, collections or interests do we all have.

I shall go first, I have a massive collection of Lego minifigures. They are slowly taking over my house almost as quick as the reptiles are, I'm actually addicted. I trawl ebay for rare ones and unusual ones etc.

Some of them


So thats my unusual collection. Who's next?

I collect friends :) I love meeting people and getting together to eat, drink, and be merry.

Honestly, I don't have time for a hobby anymore, my mom has moved in for palliation. When it is all over, I will begin collecting people again.

@Rob, if there are any Lego figures that are only available in Canada, I would be happy to look for them and send to you :)

i play roller derby for the London Rollergirls recreational league... just waiting to pass my probation! One day i hope to get on the main team and play at Earls Court!:D

I'm obsessed with it... when i'm not at work or cuddling my snakies i'm skating or watching the main team bout...!! I've never been into any sort of sport or exercise until i started this. it's a just an amazing rush and i've made so many friends too - which for a girl who being such a tomboy has never really got on with other girls very well, is pretty cool!

this is me during a drill/training

I'm a bit of a busy bee out of the office, and this is my main labour of love...


Other stuff which I don't have pics of on my Picassa account are snowboarding and mountain biking, and I'm also "in training" for this years Total Warrior challenge. Please don't let this fool you into believing I'm some kind of fitness freak. The cake is a lie, as they say!
