Well umm, here's an update I guess.

So, I found myself a really nice group to do the pub quiz with, we didn't win, but it was fun. My mom only got a Sunday ticket, so she spent the day wondering the town, and sorting out our tickets home. Here come the problems. All of the bus tickets back to London were sold out, except for the morning ones. So we had to walk all the way to the bus station in the rain at 22pm, just to get one of the very last tickets back to London. We couldn't even go inside, and I was kind of feeling like crying the whole time on the way home. We were stuck at the airport the whole day with literally nothing to do. I also caught a really nasty cold, which is impressive, because my diaphram is still sore from my previous nasty cold barely a month ago.

I'll post the rest of my Saturday haul once I have the energy to get out of bed, unpack and take some pictures, but I'm still salty, because I was planning to do some more shopping on Sunday as I still had some shopping money I left with my mom just in case. Again, I'll type out the details once I have the energy.

Also I didn't take any pics, because I was planning to do that on Sunday with my mom.

This makes me so sad for you!

This makes me so sad for you!

I'm more angry for myself, mostly at the fact, that it didn't occur to me, that bus tickets can sell out.

In my defense, where I live, if the bus if full the driver just motions for everyone to move closer together, so everyone can pack on tight, and at the end it's basically just a giant sardine can on wheels

I think that came after covid, before that they would just squish us all on. Though technically there was a limit for number of standing passengers.

Here we go: HAUL

Firstly, the T-shirt. I love it, it's colorful, it's cute, and it has a tiny pony from every generation around Britannia. Also, at first I was very disappointed, because I thought it was grey, but when I looked at it closer, I realised, it's purple. My only problem is that it was the most expensive item I purchased at 20£, but at least the material is nice.

These cute G3 ladies. I got Minty for a shockingly low price of 5£, and other than needing a spa day, she's in exelent condition, so I have nothing to complain about there. Honulu-loo and Precious Gem came from a bait bin for 3£ each and other than capital letter NEEDING a spa day, I've found absolutely nothing wrong with them.

Now I would like to introduce my first G1 ponies: Baby Moondancer and Baby Glory also need a spa day (for 3 and 5£ they're honestly worth a spa day), and Baby Stocking needs her right eye retouched. (I'm terrified of even attempting to colormatch it, but I guess, I'll try it for 10£. She is a mail order too, so that honestly feels like not much at all.) Otherwise these three are in relatively great shape.
Baby Ribbons is being quaranteened in a bag I got at the airport (the ones you can put liquids in for the flight). She has a sus mark on her cheek, and needs further inspection. And she also has a rust problem, but what BBE doesn't?

Breezies were for 2-4£ each. They also need a spa day, but they're in exelent shape and one of them even has her little crown.

I'm actually really proud of theese too: Ponyville ponies, Fluttershy for 1£, and everypony else for 2£, including Wish-I-May, who is a Target exclusive Valentines day pony.

These cute buttons and pin. The G1 and G3 enjoyer ones have hologhraphic hearts on them, and Rarity was a gift with another purchase.

A necklace, a keycahin, and a charm. I have no words for these other than that I need more of them.

Also here's my badge, the badge, that was supposed to be my mom's, and some cute stickers, business cards, and other goodies.

And last, but not least, this cute mini bag, and a pack of G3 fabrick scraps. I don't care, what anyone says, there's so few G3 merch, that a tiny bag of fabric scraps is actually a steal. Also, I git it for only 4£ instead of 5£, because I got a "bundle discount" if you will. The bag was 6£, and this was 5£ and I got them for 10£ instead of 11£.

I also wanted to get Lil Pumpkin, but she was 17£ and I found that just a bit much for me tbh.
Overall, I'm mostly happy with this haul, but I'm also a bit sad, that I didn't have enough cash at the end to get the tote bag, and some more pins and buttons and charms. I'm also a bit angry, that I couldn't go back with my mom on Sunday.

Super jealous of that winter Minty! Such great prices on everything, I love it all! Also jealous of the G3 fabric!!

 

[Twinkle-eye]

I didn't see that G3 fabric :O you got lots of cool stuff!

The person was also selling other gen patterned fabrics, and little purses made from those too.

We made over 12 grand for Riding for The Disabled

Hey I know this is a old post now! But I actually did the artwork for the multi generational trading card you got! There was multiple different designs you could get at random - You were lucky enough to get mine! I’m sorry to hear about the transport issues you had, but it made me so happy to see my artwork pop up on here!
I know what you mean about buying anything Gen 3 you can find at cons! I’m in the same boat! It’s a shame you didn’t get photos with my banner! It was all only Gen 3 characters to celebrate 20 years of Gen 3 that con!
