    I did Milton Keynes at 7am today! About 30 people waiting but the toy aisle was totally rammed, couldnt get down it as you cant get 3 trolleys across!!

    Was quite dissapointed that none of my big bits besides the Peppa house were stocked!

    Amyway, got tons of stocking fillers. Got two girls 3y and 15m so lots of dolls bits etc. Got dd1 Peppa house, hello kitty teaset, rosie dress up and loads bits. dd2 got waybuloo laptop, lau lau playset, hoover, guitar (although not the leapdrog one I was after)

    I was after the bubble scooter and tomy melody maker too but no joy. Anyway, I think ive finished my shopping now so Im pleased!

    Any other MK-ers get much?

    Hi
    I did MK at 7am too - I was the one stuck down the middle of the aisle having a hot flush and asking people if I could just get out hehe

    I got nearly all that I wanted - mainly the Lego games and some other bits too

    I'm popping back on Sunday morning without kiddies to see if there is anything else I want or missed - it was so manic that I am sure I missed the Doctor Who puzzle I was after

    i popped into the rayleigh branch today (i cant keep away) they had different toys out to the first day of the sale, well slightly might be because when i got there they had all sold, really want the cool cardz hello kitty, didnt hae any on three trips ive been but i did see a sticker showing them, asked the fed up looking assistant and he said they do not stock up through the day and will only do it overnight so i will have to come back tomorrow so not really customer friendly but i suppose hes had a hard week... i did notice a couple of woman today with trolleys that we kind of shielding the selves while they look at the toys, deliberate as i couldnt believe they were doing it at first!!! strange how human nature make some people turn like that... didnt really harm me as I just gently pushed on the trolley with my leg but i saw this other woman with 2 kids waiting for her turn and after i had looked i kept my leg pressed against the trolley and said to the other woman as if i hadnt noticed her would you like to look here and she jumped at the chance... hate to sterotype but overweight chavs with numerous argos gold necklaces round there necks with ugg boots on, screaming to each other and also having a conversation on a mobile about ordering pizza for tea, made me call it a night. i got a crystal making set that wasnt out the last two trips for £2.49 and I got a peppa pig story for puzzle for the same. £170.00 in 3 days!! no more, i'm sure on the lead up to crimbo there be other bargain and reductions at the likes of amazon and some stocking fillers at play. missus isnt happy as she has the wrapping up part lol
    Listen to what people say, but watch what people what people do!!

    It is a small nursery windmill that I have seen but on the box you can add extensions...and make it bigger - it is the one with the balloon on the side!
