    My 5yo is getting a CD player and disco light for her birthday (5th) in 3 weeks time. I know she's couple years younger but I hope in a couple of years she will still be getting mileage out of it.
    Hair and nail stuff ?
    Karaoke set ? (yes I know you will hate it .......)
    DS (maybe not girly enough or too pricey)
    how about those elctroci gadgetry you get for them now that are like an electronoic diary
    jewellery and/or box (cheap jewellery obv)

    HTH!

    well I did a load of the sewing in the end while watching the first 2 epsiodes of the new Waterloo Road series.
    Took in 3 pairs pyjama bottoms, took up 2 of the same pairs, and sewed on a button.:D

    Still got a top to shorten, 2 pairs of jogging bottoms to take in (my kids are all super skinny. I am not :cool:) and 8 school vests to label (is there no end to the bl00dy school uniform naming) and 3 swiming/gym badges to sew on to bags.

    Will take the vests babysitting tomorrow night, as well as the Chrimble cards.

    Right now I have to go downstairs again and tell DH to turn the xbox down, all I can hear is flipping gunfire and bombs going off.:mad::mad: Oh and him shouting "behind you, he's over there" etc as he is playing online with a bunch of [STRIKE]other juveniles[/STRIKE] mates. Not too condusive to a restful sleep.
    Last night he woke me and DD1 at 2am and the night before he woke me at 130am. :mad::mad::mad:
    I am giving him til the weekend and then I am going to have a strop about it. :rolleyes:
    I think its rather nice of me not to just go straight for the strop (and very out of character let me tell you).
