^ah, yeah I remember them being a pain. One of the ones where it was luck (i.e. I fought exactly the same as loads of times before) which got me through. One bit of advice, kill the one you find easiest first - I was quick so it was easy to focus on Smaugh first, whilst avoiding the quick hits of Ornstein, and then it felt like slightly more of a fair duel.

TBH I would possibly still be stuck at the Golem, if I hadn't managed to get it to roll off the wall of the tower! I dodged at the same time and ended up rolling off after it but luckily the 'kill' counted!

I'd farm the black knights in the kiln for chucks (guaranteed drop). They also give you decent souls to buy anything else you need.

Also, make sure you have a fully upgraded Devine weapon - useful for killing the skelies (especially in nito's room), and also a fully upgraded ghost blade - useful for killing the ghosts. It's also worth getting the sunlight maggot if you don't have it all ready

Yeah Divine weapon was one of the things I was thinking. Ghost blade is already +4 :)
Another q. If i'm unlikely to use a boss-soul item, is it worth hanging onto anyway? Or just consume for more souls?!
