3_cheeky_princesses - thanks..........honest what I do is so basic and not half as nice as the stuff others manage to do. But, keeps me occupied.........bad back doesn't allow a lot of other stuff so bit of paper and glue and I'm happy.
I don't have a blog and nor do I have a digi camera so sorry, you'll have to just 'imagine' what I do.........:rotfl:
Hope you've got a fairly vivid one..............lol:rotfl:

I have got DS2 a DS for his birthday can anyone recomend any games for that for a 6 yo???? Don't want to get ones that he won't be able to play

Mario Kart be a gd one, Sims, they do a variety, junior brain trainer, Simpsons (its a 12 - but haven't come across anything odd it in).

Try Argos in the clearance section and argosclearance on ebay, give you an idea if theres any on offer.

Sorry, girls I could of given you a wonderful list.

Maybe a animal zoo type game, dds got Dolphin Island and the 2 characters on that are boy + girl, so its a unisex game. xx

Good DS game for younger children is the "i did it mum" ones. my 6 yr old dd loves it! You can get a boy or girl version.

I def recommend the R4 cards too. Saves a absolute fortune on games plus you can leave the card in the ds with about 50 approx games on it.

I really want the Sanctuary box (just 1 for myself for Christmas) but cant afford it until tomorrow. I soooooooo hope they have 1 left tomorrow online or instore.

Home bargains or B&M had sanctuary kits for £4 marked down from £20.....i dont know if they still do but i never shop in boots cos its too expensive and didnt realise it was such a big saving

I found the lego star wars and lego batman games the best. My little one and his friends have had them for the DS and loved them and are still playing them now.

All the kids ive known to have them have had a long time playing out of them and so many levels and characters to discover it kept them going for a long time.....but still easy enough for them to play.....if that makes sense!

What a way to spend Fri evening, got comfy to watch Benidorm, Bailey (the pup), started having mad half hr, got beep mode, chew whats in site, so told him "time out", basically goes back in the kitchen, he's now cottoned onto time out-time. So rang round, jumped in my chair, I picked him up to take him out, he fidgeted and twisted my wrist.

2 1/2hrs later, I'm coming out of a+e, they don't know if I've broke a bone in my hand, it the size of a matchstick and doesn't always show up, the scaphel bone. I've done it 3 times b4 on left wrist, course 2ngts, right hand, - the doc wanted it in plaster, but as I'm on crutches, we've comprismised and I'm splinted up, go back to fracture clinic 10 days.

The day before my exam!! xx

Very exicted, I got the Boots santuary sets ready for xmas, one go for dd, I've claimed one, and put the other up for best mate. Massive thank you - Jam Tart, without being thick, does the half-price offer change on a friday, def want to keep an eye on these.

DD has marked over 3/4 of the Boots book off..... xx
