omg!! they still make them....http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mookie-Lolo-Ball/dp/B0002CYUMA/ref=sr_1_1/277-9976019-5363948?ie=UTF8&s=kids&qid=1283948287&sr=1-1

I had one of them. The trouble was that the disc would work it's way down the ball bit as you bounced so you had to keep stopping and turning it over. (And I wasn't exactly the heaviest child in the world either.)

No. 89% of people think an oven is essential (and therefore 11% think it isn't). 22% think a microwave is essential threfore perhaps the people who didn't pick the oven chose the microwave instead.

This oven/microwave talk has reminded me that L's strange friend with the even stranger mother doesn't have a cooker.

They moved into their flat when the girls were starting Yr1, they're now starting Yr5.

I really don't know how she manages - but she does live above a pizza shop! :eek:

this might sound a little stupid but........

when you go swimming (local or on hols) with LO's...the swim nappies you get do they just need that and a swimsuit or is there something else as well?

and what is the point of the swim nappies??

said it was a little silly....

I don't know what boys' swimming trunks are like but girls' swimming costumes often have a "built in swimming nappy" (aka an extra padded bit) up to a certain age.

:eek: Apart from browning meat and onions at the start of a dish and sauteed veg (which in theory I could do on a fire in the garden) I think I could do almost everything I use the cooker for using other gadgets I have (you can even do bread in a slow cooker) but it would be a bit faffy having to do everything that way. I think you'd have to be pretty determined to eat healthily without a cooker.

This is the kitchen I bought Keira for her 2nd birthday I think it was (altho it was out of stock forever so she got it in June, not April :rotfl:)



It's massive! Took me 12 hours to build (I am THAT !!!!!!!) it takes up a huge chunk of her room but she still plays with it, has a huge box of wooden food, pots/pans and accessories under the bed.

Actually my Auntie got rid of her cooker a while back but she did have a mini oven which sat on the worktop and she bought a mini two ring hob. (And she has a million and one gadgets - honestly she has everything somewhere in her cupboards.) She lasted about a year before she got a cooker put in again.

haha aww i love that pic Buttons

My head is hurting, i am looking for a new laptop on a budget and it's a minefield!! My current one is 4 years old but it actually has a good processor, so finding an upgrade to this on a budget is a bit tricky. Not to mention the fact that i have a loyalty to my loyal Toshiba and want another but they're so expensive
I paid about £800 for this one :eek: Well, technically i didn't really pay for much of it

Was there a poll on microwave vs oven or something Sugar?

The only thing I use my micro is for poaching eggs or defrosting something out the freezer quickly because I forgot in the morning. It really rarely get's used, I'm tempted to lob it and get a breadmaker, but then I'd just eat a whole loaf a day because they are so scrummy!

Keira has a few of my, my little ponys, Ive checked on ebay, they aint the rare ones :rotfl: I loved care bears, was gutted my mum threw my duvet cover out. The wench!

My sister was into polly pockets for ages, and barney the dinosaur, omg I hated his teeth, freaked me out.

Did it fall of the back of a truck

It is a minefield, I picked my netbook based purely on the fact it's pink nothing can compare with my sexy apple macbook pro, even though the screen is forked and I can't close the lid (thanks Keira)
