Incoming!

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008

Skipped the ‘working late and having no life’ part tonight and headed for Parcelforce before 7pm.

Same guy as I dealt with Saturday who remembered me >< and who raised the question: What are in these parcels? I should not have asked that, sorry - what IS in them?

To that I had to giggle and answer: Dolls - I am one of those scary ones with a doll collection. He did not seem fazed.

Anyway, brought a backpack-bag and a shoulder-bag and planned to carry the rest - and it went well. One on the back, one over the shoulder and two in my arms.

Hubby met me half way home and got a minor heart attack ^^ (He thinks I am nuts... He might be right)

From left and clockwise:
Elfdoll Soah Limited Elf Aurora
Noctarcana Circus Tatiana and Tiana Pierrot
Unola lights Flourite and Azurite

London EXPO Meet

Insomnia!

So uploading meet pics in the middle of the night.

Great day out!

Found it really interesting to watch all the EXPO cos-players mixed with all the Islamic Peace conference hijab clad attendees.

All pics here.

And we are ready for tomorrow!

Used: 2 packs of gauze, 1 knife for cutting them into small strips, 1 hour to wrap.

Unoa 1.0 Sist

Saturday, October 25th, 2008

Picked her up this morning ^^

She is really lovely – my first Sist with an actual Sist faceplate that is all done up.

Took her a while to actually get here but worth the wait.

Gotta get around to doing one of those myself as well one of these days…

Customs

Friday, October 24th, 2008

Ehm… I kinda ‘forgot’ about customs…

And since I got so many incoming parcels think they have kinda taken note of me… Oops.

I am a little scared to see what my bill will be…

Pound less than Dollar equals Misery!

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

Just paying of same layaways…

Seriously lost money…

Now I wished I paid the whole thing of when the rate was 1.8 and just put it on my credit card – it would have been cheaper.

This slide of the Pound will definitely keep a lid on my spending as everything all of a sudden has gotten a whole lot more expensive as the dollworld trade in USdollars.

EDIT: Will put a stop to my spending – full stop. At 1.5 it is getting to pricey. Only thing that could potentially get me out of the cave would be Unoa 1.5 parts and pre-orders. But Soom monthlys will have to be dreams only.

Incoming!

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

Okayyyy, got letter from Parcelforce today with a hefty customs invoice to bail my first parcel out. This is the Unoa Sist 1.0 that I actually bought two months ago. Initially sent of to the wrong address. Then stuck in transit for over a month. But now, finally here! Gotta go pick up Saturday ^^ Yay!

Second parcel sent only a day after also from the US, is not updating at all… Worried now as I have been looking for an Unola Azurite for well over a year and will be seriously gutted if he gets lost :’(

Gotta love Japanese postal services – my third incoming was sent 20th and arrived here today – talk about speed. Now see how that one tackles the customs people…
This one I am really looking forward to ^^

Space – The Final Obstacle

Tuesday, October 14th, 2008

I must seriously have had a temporarily memory lapse and within the last month accidentially forgotten how big these dolls are and how much space their boxes actually take…

Got some serious incomings over the next couple of months and I honestly can say: I have no clue where to put them!

This is bad…

A Short Break

Monday, October 13th, 2008

I am so busy at work at the moment + have bought loads of tickets for the upcoming London Filmfestival so unfortunately that leaves little or no time to do my doll thing :(

Guess I will be taking a little break from it all, which means no new fabulous outfits for them for a while, not much hanging out on the forums and no updating my site.

Maybe it’s a good thing considering I will have no clue when new stuff comes out or when someone is selling something fantastic on the Market Place ^^

Might take a peek…

Halloween costume will be Cinnamon dressed as a mummy wrapped in gauze lol!

My Parents and My Dolls

Saturday, October 11th, 2008

Until this weekend I did not mention a thing about my new hobby to my parents as I actually thought I would give them a heart attack!

But, they actually like them. And my mum wanted to buy me one. I am shocked.

Which doll to choose now, hmm ^^
