    LEGO has always offered endless play and fun through building and role playing. Now with DUPLO this can be introduced into your child’s life at a much earlier stage of their life, as the age range for DUPLO is between 6 months and 6 years.

    thanks :) I assumed it would be fine for her but then I worried after I'd submitted that maybe she was the wrong age! It'll be perfect for her though and she loves zoo animals :)

    Hi all, not been on much over weekend been soooo busy & still feeling sicky because of pregnancy, I'm sure being on laptop makes me feel worse!!

    Hope everyone has had a lovely easter!!

    I have a question for all you postal comp experts, I have been entering them for months but not done any since Feb/March time, I used to have lists saved in word which listed all the postals & end dates, each Monday I used to do all the postals ending soon...

    How does everyone else do it, do you send the entries off as they are posted or wait till near the end date giving enough time to send 2nd class?
    Thanks to everyone that posts :T:money:

    :rotfl::rotfl:I'm certainly no expert but I have two mse pages open at any time, one for comps ending next day and the other for the main page incase any "urgent" comps get posted and I use this tab for searches too. But I'm sure there are much better ways of being organised than this ;)

    Does everyone like my new pic? It's to remind me that I WANT A PUPPY and as a message to my better half that I WANT A PUPPY!

    *edit* he's just read this and walked away laughing! What does that mean?????????

    *edit #2* sorry laura, see I never read things through properly. Didn't read that you were meaning postal comps specifically, sorry hun :o I should venture into the postal thread more often methinks, or maybe not :rotfl:

    hi, i always write them out as soon as they're posted ( but have loads of my own which i post on here as well)
    then put the date in the corner where the stamps go, all stacked in order from the earliest date first, do the same with weekly mags comps & anything else that needs posting, all in a box next to pc so can check them every morning, use 2nd class stamps unless they're a quick closing date, hth x

    wokkies - you could be right :rotfl:my cat is now happily back here where he belongs :D

    toomanykids - love your picture, aww it's so sweet xx
    please be a responsible pet owner & spay/neuter your pets, too many strays & not enough homes for them sadly. k2u58ioz4c8e.png
