Abbey have been pains in the bum with me over the past 3 months. I noticed fraudulent activity on my account, and it's taken AGES to get it all sorted. Blunking banks.

Mum2one - If it's not too late, I think you have more than enough to start with already!! I really do!! What a fab selection of stuff!!

Irishgirl - Amazon seems to have the best deal on the Wii at the moment!!

I wouldnt mind as much if there had been fraudulent activity on my account, but there wasnt.

I got an adjustment on my wages and Id been underpaid by £8.86. So Abbey, for whatever reason, took it upon themselves to shut down my account until I could prove that I knew where that money came from.......

So they froze my account until I went in with my passport, bank card, bank statements and my payslips.

I work 9-5.30 too, so I dont know when they expected me to go in, but I ended up having to take a half day holiday to sort it out. :rolleyes: But its done now thankfully.

Mum2one - I bought my little one a Wii two years ago and each year hes been given additional acessories to go with it. I agree that the Sports Accessories are not that great, but the kids like them.

I would second that the charging docking station is a MUST!! This has saved me a fortune in batteries!

This year he is getting the Wiifit and the snowboarding game to go with it. I havent gone for the silicone mats and all that sort of stuff though xx

Thanks for the info on wii sports my DS wants this too.... i seen this one at play.com not sure if it is any good cos it does not have a motion sensor it is 219.00 but my 3 dd was going to buy him the sports board and agreed to give me the money for it if I bought i#this any advice? its £219

Doesn't sound a bad price as the wii fit is £60 alone,

It really depends on how important the wii board is to you, if its a def 9/10 I need it, go for it, if its something you might get in the future, and the games are more important than the Amazon version better.

Sorry not to be able to push you 2wards one way or the other, but hopefully like that, make the decision easier. xx

If its any help I got my docking station from Argos, I brought a game (got family ski - it was in clearance section), but still let me have the docking station for £10.

JORDANSHANNON - Thank you for the offer. I have asked my friend if she would mind driving em to Sainsburys and Morrisons over the weekend so i can big up the laptop trays and Stiggy money box and couple other bits. thank you that was a really kind offer :beer:

MUM2ONE - I think your sorted with the Wii stuff. As other said Remote dock / charger is essential. Mario kart is brill so def recommend that one and you will need same amount wheel as remotes.
I love the wii fit board and games brilliant fun :T I havent got the silicon skins or cushion etc for the board. Cooking mama is really good fun on the wii too for adults and children.

ALSO does anyone know where i can get the GOGO Hamster carry case or beds and the house and ball without paying stupid money on EBay for them? Everywhere is out of stock I have managed to get the hamsters and car from Argos but my 2 eldsest little girls (6 yrs & 9 yrs) want one for Christmas!

I have made my first sock monkey! He is sooooooo cute! I think he looks like a mischeivious monkey

Also received my Yankee Candle pack from EBay for £10 inc p&p today. Very pleased with it as i love the Yankee Candle stuff anyway and it is mostly Christmassy candles. If you havent seen it there is a thread about it on the Grabbit board or the item no on EBay is 280397435931

:DHi all, nothing much Christmassy done for the last few days but

I passed my driving test today! :j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j

Sorry, am just very excited that finally, at the age of 24, I am now a licensed driver (My little sister is 17 now and catching up). I have been learning on and off for about 8 years but kept running out of money for lessons! Now I will hopefully have a car in time for arrival of baby number 3 in January, which will make life sooo much easier.
