    Hi guys

    thinking of pressies for Henry's birthday and Christmas as I know that we will be asked for ideas soon..just wanted to ask... does anyone's LO have anything like this that this that they can recommend. This one has a few bad reviews as does a Tomy one I saw in Boots

    Also thinking of asking for some money so we can buy him a nice slide for the back garden as he loves the one at the park. Our trouble is that with birthday 5th Nov, baby due 19th Dec and then Christmas theres gonna be too many pressies so thinking of getting some bigger toys maybe

    Kids love messing about with squishy, garishly coloured modelling clay almost as much as they love eating the stuff. So it’s a mystery why no one has ever thought to make an edible version. At least it was, because Yummy Dough is exactly that. Mmm…baked biscuity dinosaurs!
    err probably because us crazy mum's don't think encouraging kids to eat play doh is a good idea :p

    I think the slide is a great idea!
    Chris had the asda's own version of that, it lasted about 8 months until he destroyed it last week, not bad for £3 :D

    .. I haven't kept Chris's 1st outfit it's been passed on to a lovely little boy called Rhys ;) I did also buy it in the next size up though and will keep that because it's so darn cute!!

    Awww.. I never knew it was Chris' first! I kept it for the memory box :o Have kept a few special little bits from each size and the others have been passed on to a lovely little boy called Andrew ;)
    t'was elle that was looking at the jewelry was it not ??

    Nope, only plain white gold bands. Tia has special jewellery, and Mooki won the finger print type I think. Mooki linked to the cufflinks a while ago but they weren't cheap (try searching "cufflinks" for the link).
