In Doncaster HB they had a large Puppy In My Pocket house with slide and 2 exclusive puppies for £9.99. They still had the £2.59 (rrp £9.99) Puppy In My Pocket sets with 4 or 5 puppies in as well.
They also had a few series 3 Cube World sets in for £3.99. (They had series 1 & 2 sets a while back). My daughters think they are great.

They had these in S*unthorpe as well, I was eyeing them up for my nephew but too big to post to him! I think they're meant for babies... if it helps one of the comments on the amazon page said it was used by both their 1yr old and 3yr old.

fisher price peek-a-bloks £3.99 (rrp 5.99)...not a huge saving but worth it if your lil one has other peek-a-bloks they enjoy or the train (mine loves his train and all the peekabloks that came with it)

just to say this has been brill since it went down last week, even our big dog has 'nt budged it when he chases around, lol

I know! I have cats that do a version of slalom ski-ing on any rug... leap, twist, swerve.... it used to end up everywhere! But it hasn't moved an inch since I used the matting. And I didn't use a whole roll, just four nine inch squares, one at each corner. Fantastic invention!

Also, in preparation for the party season.... I picked up a packet of 'Dream Feet'. This seems to be a derivative of the Scholl 'Party Feet' gel strips:




















They look EXACTLY the same, 4 clear gel strips. But Scholl ask a massive four quid for theirs...HB price, 29p.

6-36 months - its one of these things that kinda "grows" with the child - it has different settings for different ages or something. It has a baby mode and a toddler mode. Hope that helps!

Thanks Stumpy, that's really helpful.
