January 27 GEORGE CARNELLHI, CANT GET TO GEORGE CARNELL, BORROWED CAR BUT THE FAIR IS FULLY BOOKED SO I WONT BE THERE.
WE WENT TO THE NORTH WEST DOLL CLUB MEETING TODAY, THE NEW VENUE IS NICE, IT'S ST CHADS ON MAULDETH ROAD MANCHESTER FOR ANYONE INTRESTED IN COMING TO THE NEXT MEETING, THE LAST SATURDAY IN APRIL. THERE ARE SOME NICE STALLS AND WE ALL BRING A BIT OF FOOD, MEMBERSHIP IS DUE APRIL, £4.00 AND ENTRANCE 50P. YOU GET A CLUB MAGAZINE 4 TIMES A YEAR AND GET TO MEET UP WITH FRIENDS WHO ARE INTRESTED IN DOLLS, TEDDYS ETC. THERE IS A DISPLAY OF A MOST RECENT ADDITION TO COLLECTION AND A COMP. FOR MAKING AN EASTER BONNET. January 25 STILL NO CAR, BUYING ON E-BAYHI, THE CAR IS NOT FIXED YET SO I'VE NOT BEEN TO ANY FAIRS. IT'S THE NORTHWEST DOLL CLUB MEETING ON SATUDAY AND GEORGE CARNELL TOY AND TRAIN FAIR ON SUNDAY, I'M BORROWING MY SON-IN-LAWS CAR AT WEEKEND. THEY'L USE SARAS'. LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING OUT!
MY SON BID ON A FEW DOLLS FOR ME ON E-BAY, I'VE NOT SEEN THEM YET, WILL ADD PICTURES WHEN I GET THEM.
SARA AND SI ARE GOING TO SEE THE WHISKEY CATS IN HUDDERSFIELD TOMORROW SO I'M LOOKING AFTER JOE. WE ARE GOING TO PICK UP MY DOLLS AND PUT A FEW ON E-BAY OURSELVES, PEGGY NISBIT, SHALLOWPOOL AND MAYBE SOME OTHERS.
MY DAUGHTER JUST ARRIVED, SHE WANTS TO PUT SOME MUSIC ON DISC SO WILL HAVE TO GO. January 16 PAPER DOLLSHI, NOT GOT MUCH THIS WEEK AS I NEED MY CAR TO GET TO CAR BOOTS. I MIGHT BE MENDING A TEDDY FOR A FRIEND SOON, I ENJOY MAKING TEDDIES BETTER BUT DONT LIKE TO MAKE THEM LOOK TOO NEW, THEY NEED TO KEEP THEIR AGE.
I'VE BEEN SCANING MY PAPER DOLLS, DO YOU REMEMBER NORA AND TILLY, THEY WERE IN WOMANS WEEKLY WHEN I WAS A CHILD AND WE SPENT THE RAINY DAYS IN THE CARAVAN CUTTING OUT THE DOLLS AND READING ABOUT ROWENA ROBIN IN THE CHILDRENS STORY. WE SPENT EVERY HOLIDAY IN OUR CARAVAN ON DENBY'S FIELD AT WRAY, ALL SUMMER, WHITSUN AND SOMETIMES EASTER, WE WERE EVEN UP THERE IN THE SNOW SOMETIMES!
I FOUND SOME KNITTING PATTERNS AND DOLL PATTERNS WHEN I WAS SORTING OUT MY DOLL PAPERS, WHEN I GET CHANCE I WILL TAKE SOME COPIES TO THE FAIRS, THEY WILL BE THE PRICE OF COPYING THEM BUT I CANT DO THEM UNTILL I CAN GET THEM COPIED. January 08 CARBOOT AND NO CAR FOR OVER A WEEKWENT TO CARBOOT AT CLITHEROE AND BOUGHT A COUPLE OF PIPPAS, ONE WAS ONLY FOR REPAIR, A MAORIE DOLL AND A NICE GERMAN PIXIE, HE IS FOR MY OWN COLLECTION. ON THE WAY HOME I CALLED AT BARTON FOR THE ANTIQUES FAIR, IT IS A VERY WELL USED VENUE, BESIDES MY DOLL, TEDDY AND MINIATURES FAIR, THERE ARE FLEA MARKETS AND ANTIQUE FAIRS AS WELL AS BIRTHDAY, WEDDING AND OTHER PARTYS. I FOUND A "KERSA" DWARF, A CHICKEN WHICH I THINK MAYBE STIEFF AND A PAIR OF ANNALEE MOBILETTE DOLLS MADE IN 1979.
WONT BE ABLE TO BUY MUCH FOR A BIT, ON THE WAY HOME I NOTICED A STRONG SMELL OF FUEL SO I TOOK THE CAR TO THE GARAGE TONIGHT, IT NEEDS A NEW FUEL TANK AND IT'S GOING TO COST A LOT SO WILL HAVE TO WATCH WHAT I SPEND FOR I BIT. THATS HARD BECAUSE IF SOMETHING GOOD COMES UP IT'S HARD NOT TO BUY AS I MIGHT NOT SEE ONE AGAIN! I NEED TO HAVE A BETTER DAY AT GEORGE CARNEL FAIR,URMSTON ON THE 29TH OF JAN.
IT'S MANCHESTER DOLL CLUB ON SATURDAY THE 28TH SO THAT WILL BE A BUSY WEEKEND. THE MEETING IS IN FLIXTON, CANT FIND THE DETAILS AT THE MOMENT BUT WILL POST THEM LATER. THE CLUB IS FOR PEOPLE WHO LIKE DOLLS, TEDDYS AND MINIATURES. January 05 TIME TO TAKE THE DECORATIONS DOWNIT'S THAT TIME AGAIN, TIME TO PUT THE DECORATIONS AWAY FOR ANOTHER YEAR. EVERYTHING LOOKS A BIT BARE WHEN THEY'VE GONE. WILL HAVE TO GET SOME MORE OF THE HOUSE FINISHED THIS YEAR, I'M FINDING IT HARDER NOW I'M WORKING FULL TIME, DON'T SEEM TO HAVE THE ENERGY TO DO MAJOR JOBS AND I DONT EARN ENOUGH TO PAY ANYONE TO DO THEM. MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE I'M GETTING OLDER AS WELL!
PROBABLY GET A NEW LEASE OF LIFE WHEN I RETIRE BUT I'VE A FEW MORE YEARS YET.
SARA AND SIMON GONE TO C.J'S IN LEEDS TONIGHT, THE WHISKEY CATS ARE PLAYING. I'M BABYSITTING AGAIN. THEY MUST HAVE SEEN THEM OVER 20 TIMES NOW, I'VE ONLY MANAGED 6 BUT WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO GO MORE.
NO FAIRS THIS WEEKEND, MAYBE I'LL GET TO SOME CARBOOTS ON SUNDAY AND FIND SOMETHING NICE. WILL LET YOU KNOW.
December 30 REEBOKHI, WAS AT REEBOK YESTERDAY, THERE WHERE OVER TWO HUNDRED STALLS, MAINLY OF CARS AND TRAINS BUT SOME SI-FI, ACTION FIGURES, DOLLS, TEDDYS AND MANY OTHER THINGS. I TOOK LOTS OF PHOTOS OF SOME OF THE THINGS AVAILABLE, IT'S NICE TO SEE WHAT YOU ARE BUYING AND TO SEE SOME OF THE MORE UNUSUAL TOYS.
I DIDN'T HAVE A GOOD DAY SO I ONLY BOUGHT A TOY FORT. I'VE GOT THE DATES OF BARRY POTTER FAIRS SO WILL UPDATE THE DOLLSTOYSBEARSINBRITAIN WEB-SITE SOON.
AFTER THE FAIR I WENT TO A DOLL MEETING AT MY FRIENDS SO IT WAS A LONG DAY, THERE WERNT MANY OF US THIS TIME BUT WE HAD A GOOD TIME EATING AND LOOKING AT HER COLLECTION.
TODAY I JOINED A GROUP OF FRIENDS, AND SOME DOGS,TO DO A WALK UP WINTER HILL, NEAR RIVINGTON,ABOUT 10 MILES, IT WAS QUITE A NICE DAY FOR MOST OF THE TIME BUT THE RAIN STARTED BEFORE WE GOT BACK SO WE WERE A BIT WET BY THE TIME WE GOT TO SMITHALLS COACHING HOUSE FOR A MEAL. EVERYONE SEEMED TO ENJOY THE MEAL,THERE WAS A LARGE GROUP, ABOUT 34 PEOPLE AND THE MENU WAS GOOD, WITH A CHOICE OF STARTER OR ICE-CREAM AND A MAIN COURSE FOR £6.95.
I WAS TIRED BY THE TIME I GOT HOME AND I THINK BOOTS WAS AS HE'S BEEN QUIET TONIGHT.
I WILL PUT THE REEBOK PHOTO'S IN AN ALBUM AS THERE'S A LOT BUT THERE'S A FEW HERE TO SHOW YOU. December 28 REEBOKHI, IT'S THE TOY AND TRAIN FAIR AT REEBOK STADIUM, BOLTON, TOMORROW,I'VE GOT MY STALL BOOKED AND HOPE TO HAVE A GOOD DAY. MAYBE I'LL FIND SOMETHING NICE FOR MY COLLECTION! I GOT A FEW SMALL DOLLS FOR CHRISTMAS BUT NOTHING SPECIAL, THE NICEST WAS A SMALL TUDOR ROSE DOLL WITH A SHINY PLASTIC FINISH, THE ONE I HAD HAS A MATT FINISH AND IS A BETTER QUALITY SO IT'S NICE TO SEE THE DIFFERENCE.
IT'S BEEN A QUIET CHRISTMAS, I TOOK PRESENTS ROUND CUMBRIA, N.YORKSHIRE AND N. LANCASHIRE ON SATURDAY AND LEYLAND AND CHORLEY ON CHRISTMAS EVE AND PICK CLARE UP FROM HER HOUSE TO STAY OVER CHRISTMAS. SARA,SIMON,JOE AND DAVID CAME FOR TEA AT NIGHT, MARIAH AND THOMAS WENT TO HER AUNTS AS THEY WERE'NT GOING FOR CHRISTMAS TEA. ON THE DAY WE WENT SARA'S IN THE MORNING AND GAVE THEM THEIR PRESENTS AND THEN HAD TEA AT DAVE AND MARIAHS. GOT HOME ABOUT 9.30 PM. I TOOK CLARE HOME ON BOXING DAY AND HAVEN'T DONE MUCH SINCE, NO ONE,S BEEN HERE SINCE CHRISTMAS EVE, PITY AS I PUT LOTS OF DECORATIONS UP. MAYBE ONE DAY I'LL HAVE A CHRISTMAS THAT IS AS GOOD AS I HOPE.
December 20 SKIPTON AND THE WHISKEY CATS AT MANCHESTERHI.WENT WITH SARA AND JOE TO MANCHESTER CHRISTMAS MARKET LAST FRIDAY, WAS VERY WET BUT WE MANAGED TO GET SOME UNUSUAL PRESENTS AND WENT TO AN ITALIAN NEAR ST PETERS SQUARE FOR TEA AND ENJOYED IT A LOT.
THE DOLL CLUB MEETING WAS SATURDAY NIGHT, EVERYONE HAD BOUGHT PLENTY OF FOOD AND WE ALL ENJOYED CHATTING AND CATCHING UP. I LOOKED AFTER JOE ALL WEEKEND AS THEY WENT TO SEE BEAUTIFUL SOUTH.
I TOKK HIM TO SKIPTON ON SUNDAY, WE WENT TO THE FARMERS MARKET, HE FOUND THAT BORING SO WE WALKED ALONG THE CANAL AND WENT TO SEE THE CASTLE, HE LOVED THAT!
 WE WENT ALL ROUND AND SAW THE GARDEROBE AND THE DUNGEON, HE FOUND THE STAIRCASES A BIT SCARY AT FIRST BUT LATER HE SAID THEY WERE BEST BIT!IT'S MY SISTERS' BIRTHDAY ON FRIDAY SO WE'RE GOING TO SEE THE WHISKEY CATS IN MANCHESTER, SARA IS WORKING SO THEY CAN'T COME. WON'T BE ABLE TO DRINK AS I'LL BE DRIVING BUT WILL STILL BE GOOD, IT'S AGES SINCE I'VE SEEN THEM.
NEARLY CHRISTMASS AND NOT MUCH TO DO NOW, SATURDAY I DO THE PRESENT RUN, TO CARNFORTH, LOWGILL,NR SEDGEBERGH, BENTHAM, WARTON AND BACK TO CARNFORTH.MAYBE WE'LL STOP AT THE GEORGE AND DRAGON AT WRAY FOR LUNCH, IT'S GOOD FOOD AND I CAN TAKE MY DOG IN SO THATS REALLY GOOD.
HAVE A GOOD CHRISTMAS EVERYONE. December 12 NEW SCANNER AND PRINTER AND CHRISTMAS CARDSHI, GOT A SCANNER AND PRINTER, THE PRINTER STILL NEEDS ITS CARTRIDGE, MY SON IS GETTING IT REFILLED FOR ME. I'VE BEEN SCANNING LOTS OF STUFF, INCLUDING MY FIRST BIRTHDAY CARD.
I WILL SCAN THE DOLL BOOKLETS WHEN I HAVE TIME AND ADD THEM TO THE RELEVANT ALBUMS. IT'S GOING TO BE A BIG JOB AND I'VE GOT LOTS TO DO BEFORE CHRISTMAS. IT'S THE DOLLY NIGHT ON SATURDAY AND I'VE GOT TO GET THE HOUSE TIDY.
DOES EVERYONE AT WORK BUY CARDS, WE HAD A CHOICE THIS YEAR TO GIVE THE MONEY TO CHARITY WHICH I DID, BUT STILL PEOPLE ARE BUYING CARDS AND LAST YEAR I HAD ABOUT 60 TO GET AS I WORK ON THREE DEPARTMENTS AND CAN'T REALLY LEAVE PEOPLE OUT. I'VE GOT A CARD FOR EACH DEPARTMENT NOW BUT SOMEONE WILL PROBABLY MOAN THAT THEY'VE GIVEN ME CARDS AND THEY ONLY GOT ONE BACK BETWEEN THEM. THE MONEY IS GOING TO MACMILLON NURSES SO WILL BE MORE GOOD THAN LOTS OF CARDS TO BE RECYCLED AFTER CHRISTMAS. I THINK WE SHOULD JUST GET THEM FOR FRIENDS. I'VE STILL GOT LOTS TO DO FOR MY FRIENDS IN THE DOLL CLUB AND MY LARGE FAMILY.
THATS ENOUGH OF A MOAN, I LOVE CHRISTMAS, PUTTING THE DECORATIONS UP, CHOOSING NICE PRESENTS FOR PEOPLE AND GOING TO CHRISTMAS MARKETS, I HOPE IT SNOWS FOR CHRISTMAS! BE MUCH BETTER THAN THIS HORRIBLE RAIN.
NIGHT FOR NOW, BETTER GET THE CARDS WRITTEN. December 10 GETTING READY FOR CHRISTMASHI, I'VE BEEN VERY BUSY THIS WEEK PUTTING ALL THE DECORATIONS UP, I WAS GOING TO DO THE GARDEN TODAY BUT IT'S BEEN TOO HORIBLE SO WILL HAVE TO DO THEM AFTER WORK. I WENT OUT ON SATURDAY NIGHT WITH MY DAUGHTER, SON-IN -LAW, SON AND HIS PARTNER AS IT WAS SON-IN-LAW'S AND FUTURE DAUGHTER-IN-LAW'S BIRTHDAY'S WERE FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. WE WENT ROUND TOWN AND HAD TOO MUCH TO DRINK, ONLY GOT HOME AT 3.15 BUT GOT LOTS OF DANCING AND HAD A GOOD TIME!
NOT BOUGHT ANY DOLLS RECENTLY, GOT TO BUY CHRISTMAS PRESENTS INSTEAD. NEXT SATURDAY WE ARE HAVING A DOLLY NIGHT AT MY HOUSE AND HOPEFULLY A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE COMING.
SATURDAY WAS THE BEST DAY FOR A LONG TIME! I SAW A SPECIAL FRIEND AND THEN HAD A GOOD NIGHT OUT SO IT WASN'T LIKE MY USUAL BORING TIME!
 DURING THIS WEEK I'VE TO GET EVERYTHING TIDY READY FOR SATURDAY, JOE IS STAYING SATURDAY NIGHT AS WELL, THINK HE WILL BE REALLY SPOILT. SARA AND SIMON ARE GOING TO SEE THE WHISKEY CATS AGAIN, THEY WENT ON FRIDAY NIGHT IN BIRMINGHAM AND HAD A VERY GOOD TIME.
GOING TO ADD MORE TO FAMILY TREE NOW SO BYE TILL NEXT TIME. December 03 BARTON DOLL FAIRWE HAD A GOOD DAY ON SATURDAY, LOTS OF DOLLS AND TEDDYS THERE, I FOUND A VERY RARE JOINTED RODDY DOLL, I'VE NOT SEEN ONE BEFORE EXCEPT IN BOOKS. THE ONE I'VE GOT HAS LOST IT'S ARMS AND HAD THEM REPLACED WITH REPRO JOINTED FOR AN OLD DOLL, I'LL HAVE TO LOOK FOR SOME THAT ARE RIGHT FOR HER. THERE WEREN'T MANY CUSTOMERS, ABOUT 60 BUT THEY ALL SEEMED TO BE GOING OUT WITH LOTS OFF BAGS AND MOST STALL HOLDERS ENDED UP BUYING THINGS FOR THERE OWN COLLECTIONS.
THE CHRISTMAS DINNER, PROVIDED BY SHARON, MARGRET AND DIANE WAS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED AND THE HALL WAS DECORATED VERY NICELY. IT'S A PITY THAT MORE PEOPLE DON'T COME, THEY ARE MISSING A GOOD FAIR WHERE THERE ARE REAL BARGAINS AND YOU CAN SEE WHAT YOU ARE BUYING. I'M PUTTING THE PHOTO'S OF THE DECEMBER FAIR IN THE BARTON DOLL FAIR ALBUM November 28 WHISKEY CATSHI, JUST A QUICK REMINDER, WHISKEY CATS PLAYING AT THE "MAGNET" IN LIVERPOOL TOMORROW NIGHT, WEDNESDAY.
