The main problem for me (my wife) is the space it all takes up... especially
so near Christmas. This explains why one of my filing cabinets at work is
full of Lego. The money thing does not bother her quite so much, as our Lego
is more or less self sufficient.

Additionally, she does not like when I buy large bins of Lego (with
instructions) and start sorting it due to the time it takes.

However, I did promise last night I'd "get it under control"... and then
today Jason made me an offer I could not refuse, then I bid on a twin tank
transport, then...

My other main problem is my neighbours.... I think they are getting a little
tired of accepting parcels for me. Does anyone else have this problem?

Also when I take my daughter to look at Technic in private sales, she will
no longer pretend it is for her...

Such is life
