If you use Hatton Gardens for your gold you get it sent by bank transfer the day they receive the gold. You have to send it special delivery so they receive it the next day and it is insured. They pay the money in after 12pm. I sent some broken stuff and got £148.60 for it. I'm sure there is a thread about Hatton Gardens somewhere

• Nunchucks
• Battery charger that plugs into the wii as the remotes eat batteries like they are going out of fashion.Get a half decent one though as some break the wii remote :eek: i expect dooyoo will have about a million reviews on them:rotfl:
• fun games for a young one might be mario kart (but it is bloody hard!) and a cheapie one is samba di amigo - a dancing game. Heard that wii music isnt that good -gets boring after a while apparently. Smarty pants is a good quiz game for all the family.

I'll keep thinking

Got to say we've got a wii fit and it is alright but not sure I'd buy one again and not particularly that much fun for a child in my humblest of opinions!

How old is yr DD??

My 2 are 8 and 11 and they love mario cart Ds age 8 is very good at it and we have 4 controllers so all of us can play. We only have one wheel but don't normally use it anymore. They both go on wii fit and quite enjoy it. Also love Guitar Hero (this is DD's fav) and DS likes my Sims Kingdom prob as this is his newest game!

There are so many games out there and it can be great fun! I am thinking of getting the new game of Wii sports resort for DS and getting all the wii motion stuff as he will love that and is tricky to buy Chrimbo pressies for!

My DD is 9 and loves a game called Carnival and Rayman Raving Rabbids (I like this one as well)

shes 7 this month, going on 18, her friend has got a game with bowling on and dd loves that, the wii-fit/board etc no good for me, so sort of limited, she does so much and want to spoil her. she likes the sims when there advertised, between us we've got ova 20 ds games, she has mixed taste, I brought the guitar hero, for us to share, she wouldn't go near it, went on ebay.

Def some gd suggestions, thank you all in advance.xx

the "wii sports" comes with the wii - it has tennis, bowling, golf, baseball and somemore which i cant remember as my brain is fried. but that comes free anyway

mario party 8 is good as well lots of mini games that keep me amused! definitely one that is worth the money.

Sorry ladies, I have been very carp at keeping up with the thread and making my money for Xmas. I have this week sent my parcel to Music Magpie and have sent 2 gold chains to one of those cash for jewellery places so will see what I get for that. Have also had a mini blitz and have a large pile of stuff to ebay. I hope to start listing this week.

ebay has free insertion fees for tomorrow ( sunday)
