Totally unrelated but just came across something you might be interested in - see http://community.livejournal.com/niceboots/1595368.html?#cutid1 for 'My Little Pony 1988 baby nursery jigsaw puzzle 80s'

Hmm - actually, I don't think I have been paid for March yet. Well, I can just wander over the desolate site, picking up my salary's worth in abandoned drawing-pins and staples, I suppose...
