    I havent been on the thread for a few days, life has been all go for me for the last week or so; my car is on the blink and my bank account has been frozen since Friday by the Abbey National Fraud Team with no notification :rolleyes: :eek:

    So ive been somewhat busy trying to sort all of that out.

    But I have to say I have laughed and laughed catching up today!!! I put my old shoes on Freecycle.....and am now wondering why I didnt put them on Ebay! lol

    Although Im not sure I like the idea of some weirdo sniffing my dirty shoes, or undies!!!

    But its certainly cheered me up after the last few days!!!! lol xx

    Afternoon everyone,

    Spent the morning making up the fronts of cushions for daughter and the afternoon printing out inserts for pens and key rings and making them up. Very pleased with them all. Thought I had only ordered 5 key rings but turns out there's 12 so can do some more for other people too.

    Off up town after picking grandchildren up from school to post off my cds to music magpie. If I dont do it today they will be sitting here for weeks. Just started to rain too but never mind.

    Had to laugh about the knickers and shoes on Ebay. Shame I am only a 5 to 6 shoe. Will keep an eye open for larger ones when in the charity shops.

    mum2one i would say NO to all of those extras except the remote charging stand as the controllers eat batteries for fun. beach sports isnt that great and the sports accessories limit the connectivity of the controller making it less sensitive - in short, they are pants imho! :)

    Mum2one - No to the mat and the sports pack definately, accesories tend to fly of if you get a bit carried away!! OH plays on it quite a bit and we have not had problem with batteries (sorry that doesnt really help does it!) I wouldnt really bother with the Wii play either, its Ok has a few silly bits on that are Ok but on the whole would be a no from me.
