    I think you've been affected by it a bit too much!;)

    What makes you say that? I buy what I want to buy, not what the adverts tell me I should. At Christmas and birthdays I ask my children what they want and they say 'I don't know - nothing really'. Clearly they haven't been affected by the adverts - they must now just go over their heads.

    Cbeebies have never let me down, they say they can't guarantee it will get shown, but I think they do show all of them that they get. Suppose some can get lost or whatever, but I've never known anyone who's sent one and not had it shown. They ask for 4 weeks in advance.



    They say 4 weeks, but I think I've sent one in with 2 weeks to go. I just sent it next day to ensure it got there.

    I did one for my son's birthday and we sent it well in advance and it never got shown.

    Quite frankly what I find the most irritating about Cbeebies is not adverts (obviously) it's the ruddy promotions for Zing Zillas that seem to be on inbetween EVERY show :mad: Sooooooooo irritating I'd take a Polly Pocket ad anytime :(
