So an update.
I actually DID manage to get Howliday Draculaura. Twice in fact. lol. typical.
So I arranged with a friend in the US to nab me one but it was a bit uncertain whether the order would be fulfilled because of Mattel's spotty distribution so when I got a stock alert for the uk stockist I jumped on that as well figuring I could always cancel it if the US supplier came through. At the time UK stockist was saying March for their estimated delivery so it felt like a pretty safe option.
of course, because it's bloody typical (not that i'm actually complaining lol) the stock came in simultaniously so the day I was told "oh she's shipped" from my US friend I also got a dispatch notice from the Uk stockist to me.
Whoops.
So when the US one arrives i'll be rehoming one most likely.
But yeah, that review will happen at some point when I have the energy to open boxes and take a bajillion photos.
but it's dark and cold and rainy here in the UK at the moment and Christmas, as long time readers know, is my "grump" period of the year where I feel crappy and generally struggle with my mental health a bit.
this year was substantially better than some years have been, my meds really have helped, but I still ended up impulse buying things right up til christmas itself. <_< >_> of course, that was aided by the Inlaws sending a wad of cash as they always do in lieu of actually seeing us. Thank you Inlaws, i'll take that sweet cash.
Ahem.
So flush with cash what did I have to stop me from impulse buying? Self control? What's this self control you speak of? HAH.
so I nabbed a few more interesting bits and bobs because why not.
YOLO and all that. *cough*
Let's get into it.
(seriously, actual reviews will resume when I have the energy. I'm just really struggling with executive dysfunction at the moment and general lethargy.)
