It's fun being under 18 and able to live without worryng about accomodation ;).
On the other hand, it's bad being under 18 because my mum says I have so
much Lego that I'm not allowed to buy any more until I leave home.

The difference is that I have a proper piece of furniture for my Lego. I can
fit all my Lego inside the one unit (I can almost hear you saying 'ahh...
Memories') including all the boxes and everything. I have finished my sorting
process today and now the colour system is totally abolished in favour of shape
(still need to work on Technic though). I would have a system like yours but my
mum says I can't as it wouldn't fit in with the rest of the room and the room
would be too cluttered. As it is, I can make my room look really tidy when I
want it too and, unless I showed people, they wouldn't know there was any Lego
in there at all (but I always tell them).
