January 22 FEBRUARY REEBOK FAIRJUST HEARD THAT THE FEBRUARY TOY AND TRAIN FAIR AT REEBOK IS CANCELLED DUE TO THE VENUE BEING REFURBISHED. THE NEXT FAIR AT REEBOK WILL BE SUNDAY THE 3RD OF MAY. THIS SUNDAY IS GEORGE CARNELL TOY AND TRAIN FAIR AT REEBOK. January 17 Talking about Whiskycats on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloadsthis is their own site. They have been on tv, unsigned bands, got good comments by the judges, one said that they were the only band they'd pay to see, another said they'd play them on radio but they didn't put them though to the next round because they said they couldn't catogarise them! Looks like noone gets anywhere unless they can fit them in boxes. January 14 PAINTING AND DECORATINGAM WORKING HARD ON THAT NEW ROOM. DID MORE PAINTING TONIGHT AFTER WORK. IT'S NICE NOT TO HAVE A ROOM FULL OF JUNK ANYMORE. STILL GOT LOTS TO DO THOUGH, ONE DAY I'D LIKE TO GET A WOOD BURNER FOR THE FIREPLACE, IT'S A VERY BIG FIREPLACE AND I'VE GOT OLD TERRACOTTA TILES FOR THE BASE, I FOUND SOME IN THE HOUSE AND BOUGHT MORE AT THE RECLAIMATION YARD. THE WELSH DRESSER IS READY FOR PAINTING NOW, JUST NEEDS A BIT OF SANDING, THE KITCHEN IS REDONE EXCEPT FOR THE FLOOR, THAT'L HAVE TO WAIT TILL LAST SO IT DOESN'T GET DAMAGED. THE NEW DOOR IS GOING UP TOMORROW. I'LL BE PAINTING ALL WEEKEND I THINK.
I'VE NOT SET MY SCANNER UP YET, WHEN I DO I'LL SCAN THE BEFORE PICTURES OF THE HOUSE AND ADD THEM TO AN ALBUM.
IT WILL SOON BE THE MANCHESTER DOLL CLUB MEETING, WE SHOULD HAVE A GOOD MEETING AS WE HAVE SOME NEW MEMBERS. I THINK IT'S NICE TO MEET UP WITH OTHER COLLECTORS WHEN POSSIBLE.

January 07 CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEARHI, HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS GETTING ON-LINE OVER CHRISTMAS. IT'S BEEN A QUIET TIME, I HAD DOLL CLUB FRIENDS ROUND ON THE SATURDAY BEFORE CHRISTMAS AND WE HAD A GOOD DAY, TWO CAME BACK LAST SATURDAY AS WELL. MARIE AND HER HUSBAND CAME WITH LESLEY AND HAD A GOOD TIME LOOKING AT THE COLLECTION.

CHRISTMAS EVE I INVITED SOME FAMILY AND FRIENDS ROUND BUT ONLY SARA AND SIMON CAME WITH JOE, DAVID BOUGHT THOMAS BUT HAD SOME OF MARIAH'S FAMILY OTHER SO ONLY STAYED A SHORT TIME. CLARE CAME AS WELL AND STAYED OVER, THE FIRST TIME SNCE SHE MOVED INTO THE HOUSE SHE SHARES WTH 3 OTHER GIRLS AND CARERS. I'D GOT TOO MUCH FOOD IN BUT SARA TOOK SOME BACK WITH HER.
CHRISTMAS DAY WE WENT TO SEE JOE OPEN HIS PRESENTS THEN I TOOK CLARE HOME, SHE WAS GOING TO HER DADS FOR CHRISTMAS DINNER. I WENT TO SEE MICK AND NORMA, MY BROTHER,AND AND TAKE PRESENTS FOR HIS NEW GRANDDAUGHTER THEN MY SISTER SARAH AND SHARON, THE FIRST TIME I SAW THEIR NEW HOUSE, IT'S GOING TO BE NICE WHEN IT'S DONE, THEY PUT IN A LOG BURNER AND SOLAR HEATING SYSTEM AND IT'S VERY WARM. THE HOUSE BACKS ONTO THE CANAL. IT WILL BE A LONG JOB BUT NOT AS LONG AS MINE TOOK, AM ON THE LAST ROOM NOW AND STILL GOT SOME GARDEN TO DO! HAVE BEEN HERE 12 YEARS I THINK.
FOR CHRISTMAS DINNER I WENT TO DAVID'S, THOMAS WAS ENJOYING HIS PRESENTS. HE IS 3 AND HALF NOW.
SARA WORKED CHRISTMAS NIGHT SO I DROVE HER TO THE HOSPITAL AND HAD A CHRISTMAS DRINK, WHEN I GOT HOME.
SARA AND SIMON HAD A NEW YEARS DAY PARTY, I DROVE SO WASN'T DRINKING, DIDN'T MEAN TO STAY LATE BUT DIDN'T GET HOME TILL 12.30. IT WAS A VERY NICE NIGHT.
I HAVE LOTS OF WORK TO DO ON THAT LAST ROOM, SHELLEYS HUSBAND DID THE PLASTERING, MY EX PARTNER IS PUTTING THE SHELVES UP AND OTHER ODD JOBS AND I'LL BE PAINTING THIS WEEKEND. WILL PUT BEFORE AND AFTER PHOTOS OF THE HOUSE IN AN ALBUM WHEN I'VE SET MY NEW PRINTER UP, WE TOOK PHOTOS WHEN WE FIRST LOOKED ROUND, THE HOUSE HAD BEEN EMPTY 10 YEARS AND LAST DECORATED IN 1970, IT IS VERY OLD, WAS OLD IN 1790 WHEN THEY ADDED A TERRACE OF HOUSES BETWEEN IT AND THE CHEMISTS, THE TERRACE WAS ADDED TO THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE, IT ORIGINALLY WAS SIDEWAYS ONTO THE ROAD. WE CALL IT TARDIS BECAUSE IT LOOKS TINY AND IS VERY LARGE, 12 ROOMS, HAS LOW CEILINGS, BEAMS AND SMALL DOORS. IT'S BEEN NICE DOING IT BUT WOULD HAVE BEEN EASIER AND QUICKER WITH MORE MONEY.
