IT'S THE FIFTH SO DOLL PHOTO DAY

 The first of the autumn doll photo's.

First up , from across the pond  in Gregoropolis , we have the beautiful Holly Belle, who knows she looks good in her new Ruth Hartley dress and she'll hear no dissent !  You cannot blame her because she does look beautiful in her new dress.

Elsewhere in Gregoropolis, Kevin and Lewis in their almost identical t shirts discussing how come a Gotz is so much bigger than a Trendon boy ! Kevin says it's because the Gotz dolls were stretched on a rack before being allowed out in the world !  Lewis say no! It's because he drank lots of good German milk that makes him strong and also grow so fine. Kevin makes a note to go drink more milk . . . .

Here in the village , Anika is admiring the red Canna Lily that always flowers later in the year. 

Claudia meanwhile is saying it's nice and warm in the sun but it is time to get out the warmer clothing or at least a cardigan and some socks would be a start ! 

Up on the wilds of the north coast , Tatum is getting ready to do a big clean , getting the house ready for the coming winter , she'd hoped her mum would help but she's too busy reading and shouting out instructions.

In Broxbourne, Holly and her sister are working on a letter of compliant ! The problem is they have plenty they feel they can complain about but cannot decide which one is first !ready to wear 

" no sweets in the cupboard " says Holly

" No cardigans wear !" says her sister

" Too many brothers ! " mutters Holly

"Why ? we only have three ! " exclaims her sister 

" Are you sure? It seems more " Holly argues " What about the babies ! "

Shocked her sister says " You cannot complain about the poor babies !"

Holly's not so sure but decides " What about we complain about Mum being 'good' and not buying us more clothes or sisters ! "

"That's the one! " agrees her sister " get typing "

Many thanks to all who took part by sending in some photos, still time to have yours added 

just send them in

THE FIRST OCTOBER SUNDAY

 

That's correct it is now October ! We are in the last quarter of 2026, another year is on it's way out.

The world is going to hell in a hand basket, while we have to watch it happen! I won't get on my soap box because I'd still be up there next Sunday ! 

We are still waiting for the new radiator to arrive ! Supposedly two days which became two weeks which means if its not here Monday, calls will have to be made ! So everything bedroom wise is just sitting waiting.

We have spent the week sorting out bits and piece's, talking about bits and piece's and doing  bits and pieces :) 

I've made Paul a list ( he is naturally delighted ) of things that need to happen in the garden etc, because we keep forgetting what needs doing until we yet again walk round together and see them. He's already ticked three things off, so was worth doing . . . . ;)

My sewing is still awaiting 

But I have been working on my knitting and it's coming along nicely but still plenty to do. I also found the pattern I used to knit my daughters matching sweaters from when they were at primary school , they loved the sweaters, all in different colours, Lauren's was blue with a white fleck, Lindsey's Pink with a white fleck and Courtney's black with multi coloured flecks. So now they all want one again ! This time with a different colour choice. So more to add to my knitting list for over the winter.

Not a lot else has been happening.

Today's headliner is Chloe, she arrived this week after my foolish crowing of having been good and not bought any dolls ! I'd barely published Sunday last's post before I was looking at Sasha's on eBay , came across her and pressed buy!  So that is a lesson I've learnt , no crowing ;)

I had actually been looking at the 70's red heads and putting the odd one now and then in my watching, only to remove them several weeks later. I seem to be looking back at dolls I have previously owned wondering whether to re add them , when in truth I should not be adding dolls at all. But a red head with gorgeous hair is a hard doll for me to pass by, especially if she's not a fortune and so I pressed that button.

Her lovely curls that sealed the deal for me.

So on the making space front, not a lot has happened apart from a Sasha arriving !  But then in truth I've not been into either dolls spaces , to find more things to list and sell. Which means I really must do that this coming week. Which also means it is still untidy in a few places although the floor is much clearer than it was a few months back.

I do have plans to try and do more sewing and knitting through the winter months and reduce things that way and keep myself busy and away from Ebay.

Tomorrow is the fifth, so please send in those dolls photo's , so we can see what your dolls have been up to this month.

On that note I will wish you all a Happy Healthy week ahead
