I had tried to update this a few days ago, but then when I tried to post it totally messed up, so I'm going to try and post it again.

It really has been such a long time since I posted on this thing, some stuff has happened but not really too much.

The home situation is not getting any better; if possible it has got worse than before. Everyone feels uncomfortable and is getting on everyone’s nerves and wires keep getting crossed. I really have no clue about what to do and how to make it better for everyone. :(

Made rather a few major purchases. I think I had already posted about the TV (still can’t believe how big it looks in the bedroom), but since then have bought a PS3 and a laptop. We needed the laptop as the computer broke, but the PS3 was something we had been saying we would get for ages but never did. It’s now become the media centre; it’s used for all the DVD's and blu-ray discs. I have to say that I did not think there would be such a huge difference between the two, but there is. I am loving watching HP and Wall-e on blu-ray the picture is crystal clear and the emotion Pixar manage to get into Wall-e is fantastic. So adorable! I really need them to bring out LOTR on blu-ray, it will be spectacular!!

Last time I posted I had wanted to see Twilight but had not expected too much. We went to see it at the pictures and I was surprised on two accounts. The first was the audience, I had been thinking it would be full of teenage girls, but the showing we went to was mainly couples in their 30's, and the second was the quality of the film. I thought that it stuck to the book more than other book-to-film adaptations and that it was far better than I was expecting. I thought that KS and RP got the essence of the characters and the tension down really well. I will be picking the blu-ray up on Monday.

I have also given in to the pukis again. I have picked up a Flora and have called her Minty. So cute, I will post pictures of her later when I'm not sneaking a few minutes at work.

I'm really looking forward to the doll meet that’s being arranged, I haven’t seen everyone and the pretty dolls in so long. I hope that the weather is really nice and doesn't rain on the plans.

Hope that everyone is doing fine and is fine and well.

This past weekend I took a trip to Oxford to visit my sister who is on placement there. We had a look round the centre and I took Flick with me too. I was hoping to get some snaps of her with the sights, but it was very busy and I didn't feel comfortable getting her out. I got to go to the Eagle and Child pub where Tolkein went to write and talk about Lord of the Rings. I have wanted to go since I read LOTR!!*squee* The weather was really hot and I managed to get very burnt and am now in quite alot of pain from it.

 Took some pictures that I wanted to share. (They have been edited a little bit with some funky effects.)

:)

This just sucks!

I have been wanting to get Livi's brother Kale for a while and was all set on a CP Shine, but never got him because he wasn't perfect and just as I had imagined him. Well now Fairyland have released the Nanuri head and he has just taken my breath away. I adore him and he would be the perfect Kale, BUT I have no money and no way of getting the $600 I would need to bring him home from Fairyland. I might be able to join a group order, but then others would want the head and I still might not get him. I wonder how much he will be and if people would let me just pay for the head?

I'm also really liking the some of the new pukis, especially the dreaming Flora (again going to be difficult to get hold of).

*Curses the timing of this event*

Some new piccies of Flick I took a while back. She wanted to pick some pretty flowers for everyone :)

Had a really great time at the meet-up in Leeds on Sunday, got to see all the pretty dollies and their lovely owners. I hope we have another one soon :)

After seeing some Puki's at the meet-up, me and Chris decided we wanted one to join our dollie family. Luck would have it that someone was selling their Puki Sugar and 3 days later she has arrived here!! :D She is the cutest thing ever and so much prettier in person than these photo's show.

Her name is now Flick!

I adore her already and really want some little friends for her to play with!! I'm going to have an army of Puki's!! 

:)

I realised the other day that since I've had Syxx, nearly 7 months, I've only taken one set of photos with him in. I play with and cuddle him all the time but have neglected to capture his beauty on film...so rectify this a Syxx shoot was in order. Livi also wanted in on the action too.

 

:)

Just a couple of updates really...it's been such a long time since I was on here.

I have been getting the BJD-urge again and have locked in on a few scuplts I really want. The only concrete one though is going to be a CP Shine in normal skin called Kale. The others I want are a CP Soo and a Latidoll Belle. I was bored, so I played with that doll maker-thingy and made dolls for the four big dolls I have and want...

I can't decide on a name for the Soo, I was thinking of Clover - but it reminds me of the butter just a little too much! And I don't know which size of the Belle to get...the normal white or the sp white. The normal is 9.8cm tall and the sp is 12cm tall. Help?!?

I've been having a bit of a Lord of the Rings geek-fest. I watch all the extended movie editions and all the extras on the special edition box sets. I really enjoy them and love seeing how everything came together to make the movies sooo fantastic. Also thinking about getting the white tree of Gondor as a tattoo, but I'm terrified of the pain (I'm a hugh wimp). Hopefully I will know a little better after Wednesday, as Christopher is getting his first and I'm going too. 

After the LOTR Fest I was looking at the Paint-Your_own thingys from Games Workshop and thought they were really cool. I just think I don't have a steady enough hand to do that amount of detail on such a small thing and I would have on-one to play the game with after I had painted them. I might go to the local one and have a little look though and see how expensive they are.

Hope everyone else is doing good! :)

Livi got tagged by arsenic_spider 's Ran to do the OC interview meme, but I also added Syxx :p
