I have managed to track down most of my childhood wants

Like as a child my parents bought Steamer and Barnacle and said I had to pick one and give the other to my friend for his birthday. I picked Steamer but of course I wanted both! So Barnacle was one of my first purchases as an adult collector!

I'm still looking to complete my happy tail ponies, I had three as a child and always wanted the set. I just need Squeezer and some accessories, but they aren't easily available in the UK.

I would love to have...

Shy pose blue Bubbles prototype. 

Baby Up up Away and Baby Sweet Tooth in the Noddins pose! 

Ooh, goodluck Glitterball! Sadly I'm up north, but I'm definitely going to be splashing out on some of these when I get my first paycheck at the end of September. Hopefully they'll be more widely available by then! 

That's really impressive! That Tickle looks fab!

Some ponies up on Ebay 

I use the needle and thread method like glitterball, and it does take several hours. But it looks really neat and tidy inside the head, no chance of discolouration or glue breakdown, and you can style and brush with no fear of losing hair! I don't really like the idea of using glue, it sorta puts me off buying some rehairs/customs I would otherwise adore.

I love Bowtie's dark blue eyes. I also find orange eyes striking (like Chief's). 

I'm back at university (aka college) doing a teacher training course...it's brilliant but full on!
