I have tears of joy for you Charlene!!
I can so hear the happiness in your words & I am so glad you have reached the end of that horrendous journey.
I have faith now that mine will be along soon ~ so hurry with those piccies, needing a Toby fix!!!
We lived, we learned ~ now lets enjoy!
Love ya!
Oh thank goodness Toby is finally with you Charlene!!!

I can't wait to see him!! I hope he is all you dreamed he would be.
Lainey, my fingers are crossed that your Toby will not be long now,
Many hugs
Love Becky xxxx
Posting this picture here and then you can follow me over to the New Arrivals to see pictures of my Toby.
He is happy to be home and I am happy to have him home.
Well, the 'couple of days' is going on! Still no sign of my precious bundle as yet.
I am now thinking I will be waiting at least until Halloween ~ 2 years to the day since Ned came into my life. This is past gruelling now!

Unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable. I hope you can enjoy the arrival or your little guy after all this hassle. He really is gorgeous. Please post lots and lots of piccies.
TWO YEARS

it's worse that the wait when you're pregnant........ I'd have been in the funny farm by now

........you must have some patience.........

Oh my Lainey I cant believe you are still waiting for Toby, is Suzanne on a go slow or something. I do hope hes here for you soon hes soooo lovely and Im sure you forget the wait when hes in your arms. Give him a big cuddle for me will you, I would have loved one of my own but my nerves just couldnt take it. xxxx

LOL!! No, not QUITE 2 years yet!
But i paid a sizable deposit when I sold my Levi Ebbeling in January & the last bit in April,
It is 2 years since his brother Rowdy came to stay.............looks like i might get lucky around his 2nd 'birthday'?
No more news ~ no pictures & no tracking # yet

but

continuing!!
I SO hope I can bring him to Peterborough with Ned!
I just posted this over on Doll Fan.
Enough is enough! OK Suzanne spies, I couldn't care less if this gets back.
It takes a heck of a lot to make me angry, but this took the biscuit last night! I am SEETHING now, so please excuse the need to get this out of my system ~ I know my friends here will understand..................
OK! The patience just ran out!!!
After the most ghastly shift at work, I was later to bed than usual, ( I needed to debrief the day's events & chill with a glass of wine), & this popped in my email tray:-

| Hello Elaine, I will send pictures to you. I wanted to write to explain why the baby has not mailed. Cathy B wrote to her the day she was to mail yours and said her head fell off and mailed him back and so she decided it was best to take the head off and all more silicone to the neck like she is doing for Cathy Bs baby. I think it is better to do this now than for the baby to travel all that way and then the head fall off and you have to mail back . The silicone needs to cure well before she puts that tight tie on the neck. I think she said Monday will be fine to mail. Hope you understand and arent too upset. I think in the end this will be better. Julie |
Now how many friggin' heads have fallen off in total?
To say I am cheesed is an understatement............................... So I replied just now:-

Oh Julie/Suzanne, I picked up this message just before I went to bed last night. I had a ***** of a day at work ~ a xxxxxxxxx xxxx etc & I'm afraid, this email just made me weep more. I went to bed & sobbed myself to sleep. It was the final straw! Can you say that any other baby's than Cathy B's heads have fallen off? Now I do not want to appear rude here..................... Really, I DO NOT WANT to wait any longer! I do not want more silicone added to ruin his hair etc! (One of the 1st things I do anyhow is take the head off & make it able to turn ~ I don't like my babies to have osteo-arthritic necks like their momma!!!) Really, I have been patient to the last straw, I was promised that mine was the one to be done in beginning of MAY, then JUNE. Then NOTHING for months ~ NO RESPONSE apart from a short note from Craig in August until you came on the scene in September. It is now OCTOBER. $2000 of my money & no doll. Yes, I do want to see pictures ASAP. I would also like Suzanne to mail my finished doll to me TODAY. (Pictures 1st please) If this is not possible, I would like a full refund via PayPal of my money ~ and I feel that I should receive interest on the monies paid. I am upset ~ extremely. I think, in the end, I am fed up with waiting. I want the doll within the week or a refund please. Thank you, Elaine |
Enough is enough ~ I am sick of the lies, empty promises and false hopes.
So sorry it has come to this Lainey. I cannot believe how badly you have been treated. I for one would never order a doll direct from Suzanne.
Luv Janet

Bless you Janet!
I am normally so laid back & calm & i cannot believe I have flipped at the last minute.......at last perhaps!!!!
I am hoping for a speedy response!

What a load of crap,the head fell off.Geez all you do is add a better cable tie to the neck to keep it on.She is feeding you a line of bull. Why is she saying her head fell off,Toby's a boy isn't he? Lainey you rock,i totally understand you losing your cool,i would have lost it months ago. |
Thank you Liz

Her punctuation made it sound like poor Cathy b's head had plopped off ~ i was sickened at the visual there!!!!
Absolutely a load of bull! I always take the heads off ASAP anyhow ~ I like the posing better when I can move the head ~ a simple trick makes that possible!
What i don't want is another blob of silicone added ~ that sounds gross!
(She already sanded a line on the neck with the hair rooted ~ I am wondering just what this baby will look like ~ Frankenkid???
