From me too

How many dolls in the set?
DSo they come in a particular order?
Beanie, thanks
This particualr set has six, I now have half. They do many designs/designers so it depends on the set. They have just relased a new 'flock-it' set which I will buy for myself on my birthday £30 for all three. When they are released sometimes they release them in order but this particular set was released together and I have just been buying them in 'my' order. Looking on ebay lately for a display case for them as I am worried I will break them. The ones on thr momiji site are £30 and £110, a bit too much I think :rotfl: 0 -
Beanie - I wasnt around when you got back last night but well done

I wondered how long it'd take for them to show it, it's on every few months anyway! I'll set the sky+ to make sure I catch it, that's one of the films I'll be watching on my new sofa! then there's Bangkok Dangerous, Iron Man, Hancock... lots of them.
Getting a new bed as well, but not sure I'll be able to put it together myself, so don't know when that'll get done. Sister said she'd help me while she's over this weekend but she's got a lot to do. I might make it a condition of me taking her back to Skegness, which is only happening after I've been to look round the car boot sale for the last time this year. I'll be taking a bigger bag than last time though! Couldn't believe how much I got for a tenner.
Pap, what's the 60, 90 thing? Sorry I must have missed it.Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.0 -

Ohhh iron man, I loved that film. Do you have popcorn as well Ames
I thought you were getting a bed too, is your other one bad for your back then? I bet you will have acomfy nights sleep when tahts up. Could your ex not help considering you take him shopping? I supose it will not take more than an hour.
Oh the weight I gave lost 60 pounds and the weight I have to lose to my next 'goal doll' something I get as a reward for doing this plan :cool: Simple soul to please me :rotfl:0 -
Pap :T I'm in awe - you're doing so well.
I've not posted for a while as I've been feeling very negative and it's hard for me to "do" negative in public. IYSWIM....
I felt that I'd obviously done something very wrong in a former life for all the carp that's been dealt lately but I'm turning the corner on it all now.
(Sorry long ranty post but need to get it out)
DH had ordered some prescription glasses, we went via a site from the weekly email from here, ordered said glasses - they took nearly 2 months to arrive and when they did they were dinked and scratched....returning them and trying to get a refund was like getting blood from a stone. (£67 now refunded.)
I ordered glasses via quidco, 2 paid (one sunglasses) - the order was pants from start to finish - they've breeched their terms and conditions on so many levels it's unreal - when they actually arrived they were utterly wrong and so poor it was laughable.....still waiting for a refund (£73 outstanding)
Soil pipe leak - ruined utility room floor, everything had to be ripped up, then the insurance company got shirty about liability.....trying to get information from landlord/letting agents/insurance company/builders...nightmare....DH stepped in and made a complaint direct to CEO - sorted in 2 days....Builders will finish off tomorrow.....fantastic. 2 weeks without a washing machine plumbed in wasn't fun, I can tell you.
Dishwasher died......they've been out -ordered a new board...but it's mysteriously now working again...
Sink....yeah..ermmm....I broke the sink...ooops (should be fixed tomorrow)
Gas fire - Been chasing someone to get it working for 4 months...finally fixed yesterday...
And the biggy.....DH - involved in accident in March, had to really push for any help as GP was sure it was just whiplash, finally diagnosed with prolapse in neck, refered to Orthapedic team (currently going to be another 13 weeks before we get an appointment through NHS - geee...helpfull) Luckily a private appointment has been made for October. DH has got a lot worse lately and has now been refered to Neurosurgical team at Kings, he'll need an op - we know that - but when and how he's supposed to cope until then is anyones guess.....hard to see your gorgeous lovely husband being reduced to having to ask for help to put his socks on...
As a result we're just about to enter the phase of SSP - I've no idea how much money we'll get, how much we'll need to find or if the solicitor can get us an interim payment to cover our losses in the mean time....it's a case of pick a number and hope it's as long as a piece of string.....
In amongst all that DD2 started secondary school and she's been a star...good job really as I don't think I've got the energy to deal with dramas there too.
Blimey - I really did need to get that out....Sorry :rolleyes:"Start every day off with a smile and get it over with" - W. C. Field.0 -

Pooky, you've had a nightmare time lately, I hope things pick up for you soon, hugs.
Pap, I planned to do something similar. I collect Lord of the Rings pewter figures, I was planning to get one for every stone I lost, so I'm overdue one! I completely forgot, I'll have a look on ebay next week. Well done on losing so much!
The bed's broken - it's a frame bed with a metal sheet base, which is all bucked and dipping, it creaks every time I get in it. I didn't realise till I got a new orthopedic mattress a few months ago. So hopefully with the new bed and new mattress I'll sleep really well! Ex couldn't help me, he's totally useless when it comes to DIY. Good cook though!Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.0 -
Pap you should be so proud of yourself, that's amazing. Looking forward to the day you get that dress, hope we get pics!
Ames hope you feel better soon.
Pooky hugs... That's a hell of a lot of things to deal with!
Feeling at a bit of a loose end this evening, have done everything I needed to do and am all restless and bored. Grr!Debt@16.12.09 £10,362.38, now debt free as of 29.02.2012."I cannot make my days longer so I strive to make them better."0 -
