As some of you will know my father-in-law died the day after the UK convention. It was very sudden and still seems surreal, we only spoke to him an hour before he died and he'd been healthier than we'd seen him in ages in the few weeks before he died. He was only 64 and he died from his 10th Heart Attack during his life. He certainly was a fighter!

In the pony world life went on in the three weeks that me and my family spent in limbo, staying with my mother-in-law, making and decorating a spare room for her so people could stay, arranging the funeral etc, and some of the Crystal Princess line of ponies made it to the shelves in the US. Thankfully for me there aren't many ponies to add into the database, I'd actually covered a whole batch of new ponies before the convention and Hasbro have kindly not released any ponies since, the only thing to note was that the Winter Babies had names on the computer system in Meijers and of course I put up my photos from the convention finally. A lot of photos didn't work out but the good ones are up for you to see, check out the UK Convention link in the left menu.

Since I've been back home I've been working on my want list, I have a gorgeous Baby Ribbon that I'm hoping to trade for the Winter Babies and Thistle Whistle. The new Sunny Scents and Dream Designs still aren't out over in the UK yet (as far as I can see!), then I'm buying Toboggan, Sno-Glo, the new SLHs, the Target Babies that I hadn't got yet and the Toys R Us 4 pack, it's going to cost a lot of cash but I need some pony shopping to cheer me up.

The Pounds for Ponies challenge on the MLP Arena that I'm part of is now totally messed up so I need to begin again tomorrow and earn back some of that money, I haven't really been in the mood for dieting recently.

Anyway, thanks for stopping by! Moonfire
