Hi all, I got up to snow today and as I looked out of the window the postman was pulling up outside and I knew immediately what had arrived - I am seriously happy today

[Rachel]

A very BIG Congratulations Steve.

You must have been absolutely over the moon this morning. It is always a relief when such an exciting item like this arrives. After such a long wait you can now feel very happy with yourself.

Congratulations Steve !!!!!
I'm happy for you, i still need my green house, maybe at passion i will find one

[smurfwish]

HOORAY...FINALLY!!!

so glad you finally got this Steve...now whats next on the list??? I need to know because my excuse for constantly trawling the smurf section of ebay was that I was looking for the green house for you!

[steveparkes]

Thanks all..I'm sure you'll get one Christy..I have seen them at passion.

Hehe, thanks Maxine..erm, Astro playset next on the list if you want to go back to trawling the internet for me Maxine (wink)

[Tojo]

Sigh.. it's beautiful Steve

Are you going to frame it & hang it on the wall?

What a relief it must be finally getting this house in your hands.

Are you going to frame it & hang it on the wall?

Oh, um, are you not supposed to do that, Tojo?? Heehee Dyar knows what I'm talking about, as I've done this recently.

Congrats, Steve...I think you will have an easier time getting that astro playset than the green house

[steveparkes]

Thanks Tojo & Staci..erm, I don't think I'll frame it and hang it on the wall Tojo..it might fall off and break my other smurfies

[Tojo]

Oh, um, are you not supposed to do that, Tojo?? Heehee Dyar knows what I'm talking about, as I've done this recently.

Did you really Stace? I'd love to see how you did it.

[eggie smurf]

It's not with a house though -- just a lil' ol' SCCI smurf. I'll get a pic and show ya

[Syd Smurf]

Hey Steve...this has really made my day hearing such great news. Winning the auction was really nice to hear but even better to know you have it safely in your hands now.....did you take it to bed with you? Jack received 2 new Star Wars men last night and loved them so much that he took them to bed...I had to remove them later on incase he hurt himself by rolling over.

Such a great price...I guess the saying that good things are worth waiting for can apply here too.

Are you going to frame it & hang it on the wall?

Oh, um, are you not supposed to do that, Tojo??

Heehee Dyar knows what I'm talking about, as I've done this recently.

Yes and framing and hanging your aunt and uncle wasn't a particularly nice thing to do Stace.

I hope you never do that to Syd or me.....although according to you and everyone you have told...Syd is already quite well.....er, not well framed at least.

Dyar

[ChunkMasterMC]

That is really nice Steve...Congrats...you have obviously been waiting a while to get this...I'm really happy for you!!!

[SA Smurfette]

Congratulations Steve
Glad it has arrived safely for you

[steveparkes]

Thanks Renee & Rae & Dyar..yes Dyar, I actually did put it near the bed so that I could stare at it whilst I was in bed How sad am I?
