Oh my goodness, I've had the best afternoon....

This afternoon, I finally got round to cataloging all of my Michael collection and it took me over seven hours!!!!

I've hand written everything down and tomorrow I'll type it all up.

I cannot believe I have so much stuff and how much fun I had going through it all.

I catologued and sorted out all of my programs, albums, singles, T-shirts, all the items of clothing, like 'those shorts' tour jackets, baseball top, mugs, calenders, books, guitar picks, photographs, posters, collectables, Dubary masks, signed baseball, Lloyd Webber program from when Michael sang , behind the scenes magazines, Bolton Bulletins, music books, videos, guitar plate, dvds and membership stuff.

I found my signed items that Michael sent to me as gifts, all the signed stuff that I've bought and the signed prizes I won from the fan club too

My concert ticket stubs from my very first concert March 1996 (they used to take all of your ticket off of you back then) and all of my tickets since and meet and greet passes. I also found the letter from Ticketmaster advising that the Apollo concert on 4th July 2002 had been cancelled!

I've just had the best time, reminiscing and reading all the Bolton Bulletins, the platinum club members books, and going through all the lovely goodies we used to get in our folders when we renewed our memberships, like Holly's corner, discography, filmography and Michael facts pages.

Who remembers the metal guitar picks? The posters, the small silver membership cards that were then exchanged for laminated cards in 2004?

I have sorted out the doubles of items that I have ready to swap or sell to raise funds for the UK fan reception and will list them at a later date but in short there are Blackjack albums, guitar picks, signed books, etc..etc...

Does anyone else sort their stuff out on a regular basis and sit and read all the old magazines? I really want to do it all again tomorrow I had so much fun.

Love Jennifer XXXX

Dianna,
You never had a bagel. like I have never had a scone, well a bagel is shaped round with a hole in the center like a donut but not sweet. It's a dense bread like and chewy, we eat them with cream cheese or jam and butter and sometimes honey, they can be sprinkled on the outter with onions, poppy seeds, garlic or plain, or everything. They are quite good, I think it's a Jewish type of bread, someone correct me if I am wrong.It could be Greek, or Russian, I'm not sure of it's origin really, but we like them here in America.So I would probably like your scone. Funny but, I don't know what Vita brits are either! LOL
Have a great Day,

Kellie

Morning Kellie
They are 99% wholegrain here's a picture

I also like porridge for brekkie as well.
The bagel's sound nice.
Scones are dry and dense that's why you need some cream ,jam or butter to enjoy them with.
All the best
Love Dianna xxx
