    I ordered a scooby doo beanie, some thomas crackers, a megabloks trolley thing, the coin cascade thing and some of those hama bead type things. It came to about 6 quid altogether :beer: so thanks Tigz for the tip :T

    Since my last update I have done the guinea pigs, finished the lounge, done another load of washing, had a bath, rebooked delivery of the parcel and have framed a couple of photos :D

    They were toy bargains from wilkinsons, they have 50% off some toys and then at checkout it takes another 50% off :T :T Have a look on the grabbit board, I think its on there, but Tigz kindly told me about it last night;)
