    Thanks MFD. And here was me trying to stay away from Debenhams sale.;) I do like this though.

    Also Moon Dough? What is it? Is it a better version of play dough?
    Moon dough is amazing! its really light and the gadgets are so cool, I got Chris 3 sets in the 3 for 2 at argos

    I just bought 2 reduced loaves from the co-op and one went through full price:mad: should have checked before i walked home,
    I've had that problem before at the Coop so I usually watch the screen to make sure now. One time I wasn't watching and bought some milk that went through full price and didn't realise until after I was home so I went back the next day and they refunded the full amount I'd paid.

    ooh I've never seen that crane SS!!! *wants* I can't go to ikea until they have antilops in stock (and I make OH give me a pile of cash :p)

    Oh I'm very proud of Edgar today, he shut the fridge door for me then looked at me and said "Taaaaaaaa" just how I say it to him to try and make him say it :rotfl: Its the first time he's said it and used it properly (and a bit cheeky/funny to boot!:cool:)

    Tara, try Hawkins Bazaar too.

    Thanks Sami. I think Moon dough may be one for next year. Alex too young and will Joe at 7 be too old?

    Chris's retro trike is fab. Very cool.:cool:

    Weezl te kitchens are a great idea all 5 of mine play with the wooden kitchen and have a great time with it! i bought mine from ebay and it was money well spent :D

    Moon dough is great it is really light and soft, hoovers out of the carpets and is very easy to clean up, i do prefer real playdough though! i think its the smell PMSl!!

    right im off and i may have a few tasks later for you SS :D i think we should give SS our money and await parcels coming through the door :D obviously her taking a cut or a present for herself :D x
