    I thought I'd have a look at the scuttlebug, and then thought I know I search on swagbucks :D The 5th entry down is the urban dictionary definition :eek::rotfl:

    Maybe I'll just search on the argos site :A

    I just had to go and look didn't I! :o

    Well, you learn something new every day. :rotfl:


    Hi Mel. Don't worry about coming here to moan - i'm sure this lot can give you (and me) some good ideas.

    We have the party dilema atm too. L's is 12th October and she has HUGE plans. The Saturday before she'd like a party for the whole class, bowling maybe, followed by pizza hut. :eek: The following Saturday she'd like a sleepover for 5 with dvd's and Dominos!. And here's me trying to convince her that 10 is very grown up and 10 year olds don't have parties. :rotfl:

    L's best and most :money: party was to the Crocky Trail. http://www.crockytrail.co.uk/index.php
    We took 5 others (how many we could fit in the car) and a picnic. They all loved it and at the time, it was only £5 each to get in. I think it's gone up now though. :( Manley Mere (Frodsham?) is supposed to be better & cheaper - i've not been but L went with playscheme and loved it.

    What kind of parties are they expecting, Mel? Anything that can be done elsewhere so other people have to tidy up? Bowling, cinema? I'm sure we could find something for you.

    Lots of hugs.

    ETA: KeyNoir still have vue tickets for £1 for brand new customers!!!!

    You would have to open multiple accounts though.

    Can anybody recommend any toys from Argos for S for xmas

    What about a kitchen. There not just for girls, Joe had one when he was 2 and he loved it. Tools or this.
    Has he got any duplo mega blocks? Or a garage?

  • Morning all

    Sorry to hear many of you had rough nights. We actually had a really good night :) Theo had half a feed at 10pm, clean nappy and some daddy time. Then he had the other half of feed and slept until 4.30am :) he went straight back to sleep and woke 9.30am.

    He and OH are still in bed! (well T in his basket) it's nearly 1pm!

    I love the idea of secret Santa, although the last one I did at work I was bought a pack of tissues and candy cane... LOL. Kinda strange!

    Why does it rain everyday, I have washing to dry and a baby who wants to be pushed in his pram LOL
  • Morning... It's afternoon sorry!

    CAFC, brilliant you've volunteered! Might be good to post again in a week or so to remind people who aren't on at the moment. Also, set a deadline for registration and then post regular reminders. Then we can get to shopping! £10 sounds good as low amounts keep it more inclusive :). And I find homemade gifts to be brilliant so if people feel they can't afford £10 they can always send along something lovingly made!

    Mel, glad to see you posted even if you're feeling a bit low.

    Still trying to decide if to buy Argos toys in the 3-for-2 and if so, what. Part of me thinks I could most of those things gently used from eBay or charity shops so wondering if it's worth it. :o

    Please send good vibes my way - I found a good job that actually 95% matches something I've done in the past and the recruiter phoned to say she would be passing on my CV to the company, so praying I get an interview.

    would like to win a holiday, please!!

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:I can't believe you won from it!!!
    I might be tempted, what sort of area are we looking?

    Ooo - I wasn't actually talking to you Becky :o I was talking to Bekki who lurks here and occasionally posts. She lives in Stoke, which is where the Monkey Forest is.

    You would be more than welcome to join us at Monkey Forest if you are anywhere near Stoke though - although you might find your babba is much accosted by some of the broody mummies!!!



    Edit - CAFC - tell me again what I need to do!
