    why did I read this thread?

    I now am lusting after a Chumby, but still have no clue what I can afford to get a 19 year old girl and a 15 year old boy for birthdays and Christmas. My DD who will be 3 on Christmas Eve is pretty much sorted for both birthday and Christmas. It helps that she can't stand anything coming in to her bedroom, so no Father Christmas leaving pressies for her to find in the morning. Father Christmas has to have a bit of tact, and she just doesn't get it anyway.

    But keep going cos I may find your ideas useful other than for my own lusting :)
    I saw two shooting stars last night
    I wished on them but they were only satellites
    Is it wrong to wish on space hardware

    I had heard that a PAYG iphone 3G will be released in time for Xmas. May feature on a few people's lists...
  • Hi again good people!

    I still can't get confirmation on the possible release of 'Adipose' for xmas. Anyone any ideas?

    I attemted to make one but my sewing skills made it a little too scary to give as a gift :eek:

    Sometimes moneysaving isn't quite as important as reducing stress levels to an acceptable amount :D

    Glad you bumped this fern, got confused with the other v simlar thread. Niece wanted the adipose pattern etc. Dunno when / if theyr out though.

    The first one I made was too square so I just rounded the corners a bit. How scary was yours?:confused:

    All mine are really cute. DD has Combat adipose, Yeti adipose and Little girl adipose. Thinking of doing part-bat adipose for halloween :eek: Is that what yous looked like?:D :rotfl:

  • Is there any particular reason why the red Catchabeast seems more popular on Amazon than the blue one? Not that I'm going to be suckered in!

    TIA
