I am wanting to start djing (have so for over a year :( ) and am not sure what to get , turntables or cddjay?

I HIGHLY recommend turntables. Not many places (only a few) have tunes on CD. Basically all the big names (except Quosh) have stuff only on vinyl. There are also alot more rare stuff on vinyl too that you can never find on CD. It's also alot more fun to mix with tables! More challenging!
ONLY get a CDJ if you plan on getting promos or produce your own tunes. Most DJs that use CDJ produce their own tunes and use the CDJ by means of promoting their latest stuff. You can also get unreleased tunes or even really old tunes on the Quosh Records site!
Hope that helped ya! Ask me if you need any more help!

Ok
1 - You have a dj name but aint started DJing ... Oh the sense
2 - If i was you i would start with turntables, CDJay are pretty expensive and not the easiest thing to work in teh world. ( My view anyway but have only started using one )

didn't mean to be harsh 
but if you ask me starting on a pc gives you the whole wrong idea,to beatmatch you just click a button, A button. if you're a dj yourself you'll know where i'm coming from when i say it's a totally different kettle of fish when it comes to a deck/cd deck. it would probably throw you right off the idea of wanting to dj coz its so much more difficult.
only my POV tho :P discuss

Um...I had the Gemini XL 300's...they're poop...if you're looking for goot starting decks, then get the Numark TT 200's or the Gemini SA 600's...also look on ebay for good deals...

Buy technics... if you can't afford them anything direct drive should be good enough.... All I can say is that technics is the best IMO... I have been blessed with the fact that 98% of my gigs have been on technics.

I dont dj, im learning too I own a pioneer cdj and use a discman for deck 2 with a mixer. The reason is for me hardcore vinly around this area is as rare as a hardcore dj in Byron Bay so yeah unless i freight but to much $$.
I have used vinly a few times i like it but dont mind cdj as well you can do a much as vinly in differnet ways. Im wondering where the music is heading as far as cd or vinly, alot of big name dj's use cd.
