    Mmm good advice Pooky - luckily none of mine have broken anything on the trampoline although DD2 has broken her wrist 4 times! :eek:(once on a scooter, once on skates, once on another wheeled toy and once jumping off a wall in school!)

    It's fab, she will love it. :T Don't worry about missing bits or non-working sound, honestly. She will just love having a little house to play with, because she loves stuff like that.

    Sandpit is cool too. :)

    I've just pm'd you about when/where etc, not sure it went through because I got a blank screen, but it shows in my sent messages so hopefully you will get it.

    Snaggs a word of warning on the trampoline....when the kids are the same sort of size/weight they bounce well together....when one is a lot bigger than the other is can cause a lot of issues.....my youngest broke her elbow by landing funny when playing with a friends kid on our trampoline.

    I'll be careful of that, thanks hon. Their cousin has one which they play on quite a lot, and they do quite well at taking it in turns, or one will sit at the edge so the other can bounce properly.

    Knowing my accident-prone stunt-kids though, anything could happen! :D

    Cross posted but already have done. :)

    Let me know if it hasn't arrived as it did go a bit funny when I sent it.

    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    It's a quote from Dorothy Thompson, an American political journalist who interviewed Hitler and was known for her strong anti-communist and anti-fascist stance. I don't know much else about her, but I loved the quote.

    Yes, that's the one. It is a little greasy, but I can honestly say it has genuinely changed my life! I literally couldn't spend 5 minutes outside in summer without my face blistering, but with that on, I can carry on as normal.

    I should really do their publicity, I am such a fan!
