    PMS, best thing is to contact the manager of the Argos store that he bought it from before promising him anything and just explain to them what happened...and see what they say! Failing that, can you not look on ebay? for similar items or so...Just see how things go but don't let it dominate your weekend ..

    Isn't there any comp to win this game that we can all enter for you :D
    Yes, let's hope you win something really good to cheer you up x

    Will have to go do some work while I can ...I have some wine that I am yet to earn :eek:
    Take it easy PMS, don't panick x

    And just before I go, has no one heard from Cathy? She goes on holiday tomorrow...I really hope she is managing ok with her workloads x

    With it being last day of school they were allowed to take games in to school, I let DD take a small travel board game whereby if it came back with parts missing etc I wasn't bothered. This man has said the toy belonged to his son but his daughter took it to school without him knowing, which if she is anything like my DD I can belive as my DD can be very sneaky. She wanted to take her Nintendo DS but I told her no way, I've now said to her aren't you glad you didn't take the DS, what if something like this had happened to it?

    Honestly what's the chance Argos will replace it with no box or receipt? I'm clutching at straws with that aren't I?

    There's nothing more I can do now (other than have a lovely big win arrive between now & then that will pay for it LOL) so going to try not to worry but can't shake what DH said about the windows being smashed in when we're not in.

    Y, don't give in to bully boy tactics sweetie. I might be wrong but if you bow to pressure this time, he will think he can get away with it again and may try it on another time but for more!

    Ask him to (a) prove that your DD actually did the damage - she may have dropped it but did she actually BREAK it (b) produce receipt to show when he bought it and for how much. When he can do this, then ask him to leave it with you to consider. If he becomes "nasty", just ring the police and report him for harrassment.

    Hope DH is OK - hugs to you all.

    Sorry to hear about your probs pms. It does sound like this man is being a bully, the kid shouldn't be allowed to take electrical stuff in anyway, my dd wasn't allowed.
    If you do have the broken toy, try taking it back to Argos & say it was a present from someone but you don't have receipt from them. Some people throw the boxes away anyway so maybe, hopefully they will exchange it for you.
    Big thanks to all who contribute to the forums. Be lucky everyone and be safe!
