    Benjamin too Susan - he happily plays with the carpet sweeper and the dustpan and brush!! I keep thinking I might buy him toy versions but a toy sweeper wouldn't clean the carpets...the real one does :rotfl::rotfl:

    I'm sure i've seen a toy hoover that actually picks up. :D

    I was looking at the cleaning trolleys last week for V, with a little brush/mop etc. She loves cleaning but usually uses the toilet roll.

    Reversing round corners or reversing into spaces? I would say both are easier than parallel parking!

    We got one of those mini paddling pools in the 99p shop and Henry is currently enjoying his own mini ball pool. Shame the weather's not nice enough to fill it with water today. It's a very good buy though, glad I got one.

    They are fab aren't they?! It's just crap when they learn to get in and out! Jack climbed into his on Sunday when the water had cooled down loads! :eek: Didn't seem to bother him but as he was already ill I took him out after a few minutes.

    Depends on the car obviously, that's a lot of money for insurance. What sort of cars are you getting quotes for?!

    My first car i was 21 and it was about £700 for a 1.3l Ford Escort.
