Germany are out!

29/06/2010 21:17

Not of the World Cup unfortunately, but they are out of my swaps pile!  The 2 for 1 offer proved popular and they have all gone.

We started supporting Japan after England's untimely exit, but they too were knocked out today!  So, Netherlands then ... surely we've put the kiss of death on them now.

I'm also pleased to see Christiano Ronaldo getting no decisions off the World Cup referees.  Payback for years of unjust diving if you ask me!  :o)

Swap one get 2 germans ...

28/06/2010 20:24

Now England are out is there any point in continuing collecting?

Of course there is!  And here's why ...

Arch-enemies Germany just knocked us out (with a little help from Fifa).  So, in celebration of this I'm offering 2 german players for 1 swap.  How is that for a cunning offer?

Subject to me having Germans available for swap and being able to look at them long enough to put in the envelope, without being violently sick.

Sorry about the lack of updates

Been very busy in the last few days and we had that many stickers arrving in the post we simply didn't have time to stick 'em in!

Anyhow, all up to date now and we have 100 swaps!  Come on -- first come, first served remember!

Swapping gone crazy ...

15/06/2010 23:09

Germany may have gone crazy against the Aussies, but so did our site yesterday.  We were absolutely overwhelmed with the requests ... so thanks everyone, whether we swapped with you or not!

We swapped 50 stickers yesterday, the sofa was littered with brown envelopes and I didn't get to be until 1:30am.  That may also have been down to catching up on a few World Cup games.

Hope everyone is enjoying it as mch as we are.  It is great to recognise many of the players from the book, but I can't help wondering when the stickers will turn up for some of them!

We're hoping a friend will add to our swaps this week.  Still got a pile of envelopes to open that arrived today so there is a good chance that some of those will be swaps and I have 10 packets kicking around the house ... I really must open those when my daughter is actually awake when I get home from work!

Cheers.

Japan KO tomorrow...

... but with the help of a second bout of swapping with Remco, we've now got the entire Japanese collection!  The first "full house" in our album ... my daughter will be thrilled! 

Just found a load of swaps!

In the car from a few weeks ago.  I had totally forgotten they were there.  First come, first served remember ... we've even got 00 in there!  :o)

New TV for the World Cup

12/06/2010 23:20

Well, stickers were severly hampered this week with the arrival of a new TV.  Managed to get it all working perfectly and all England can do is manage a 1-1 draw with the USA.

However, I'm encouraged to see Heskey have a decent game - though thought Rooney was average.  Bit of an odd performance for me that - when I think back to the first game, I reckon South Africa would have beaten us on the day!

Plenty more swaps just been added to the site - I'll be getting some more stickers tomorrow (Sunday) ... Sainsbury's are back in stock but are back to normal prices :o(

Looking forward to another day of action tomorrow!  Chin up everyone, we can still win this cup ...

Noticed anything unusual on Page 10?

08/06/2010 21:35

We noticed something slightly unusual on page 10 tonight ...

... I won't ruin the fun of trying to spot it but if you are really stuck, drop us an email and we'll tell you!

 

Well done to Remco who is the first to reply with the correct answer!

More envelopes arrived today!

08/06/2010 18:35

Of note, Peter Crouch and the Japan badge arrived today!  Hurrah!

Added 191, 196 and 233 to the swaps list.

Been a quiet day due to work commitments, but am hoping to raid Sainsbury's tonight and buy some more packs.  The site will be updated by the morning if I get there.

I have two stickers for the Tournament Tracker wallchart, as sold in Morrisons. Am happy to trade them for World Cup Albums stickers.

I have John Terry (A) and Didier Drogba (O)
