MSE Parents Club Part 14

Buttonmoons

She has a Vtech learning console thing that she never plays with.....

and a DS.......

and games for the PS3...

Do you think she is spoiled? Im away to gut out her room this week and throw stuff out she doesn't play with. I'll make a list and put it up here though and see if anyone wants it. I reckon I'm lobbing the Vtech thing....though when she sees it she will sit and play the Dora game for about 10minutes then proclaim it;s her fave toy ever.......

I need to organise her room with clear boxes for under the bed storage, and that way one day I can take the farm out, then the train another time, then set up the paints for her easel etc, otherwise she just hauls everything out and you can't find all the bits for stuff :mad:

A beanbag is a good idea MFD, but my flat is very small, and she already has an ikea chair, plus a stool plus 2 chairs that come from her desk, plus idris has a big leather beanbag. I can't get anything "bulky" this year, unless I throw out the kitchen, but then I don't want to do that as she still plays with it, but not often *roll eyes* She has way too much.

BM wrap all her old toys up now and by christmas she will have forgotten about them lol! nice cheap christmas

I am having the same prob they have soooo much i just feel that im adding to it? been slowly clearing out so its not too bad just now!

Buttonmoons

Lol I would if my interal guilt clock wouldn't make me self destruct lol! I have her an ice cream maker and Bullseye and Jessie pack, I'm going to get her a new card set for snap, new paints, new games (though she has lost 5 of the balls for hungry hippos already GRRRRRRR) Probably get her the Mr and Mrs Potato head and Rex from Toy story too as she does like those things, and making up pretend scenarios.

You're right though its an utter nightmare, must be harder for you though since you have 5 to think off! I think my head would combust (plus the expense :eek:) I usually only spend about £100 on her tho, and the ice cream maker cost me £7 and the bullseye and Jessie cost me £8, instead of £25 and £29 - so bargains!

perfect! we arent buying the little 2 big presents just a few small things, but its hard as we still have things from Abi that C and E play with? and the older they get the smaller the package and more money it costs lol!

One thing i do though is a movie box, i get a HUGE box and fill it up with sweets, juice, crisps, popcorn and lots of films and cinema tickets! it gives you a few hours peace and the kids love it!

Elliot is only getting a few toys off me and oh, my mam and gil are getting him a swing for the garden, then i have 2 aunties who will be buying him stuff, my brother will no doubt spend ridiculous money on him (which I'm fine with he earns loads lol) oh's brother and also fi and mil will spend a fortune, so he's gonna end up with loads of stuff, so yeah just a few little things off us this year

Hello:)

Just had a quickie catch up read and wanted to say big hugs to cafc:A I actually had a phone call this afternoon about baby massage classes and we're starting them in November. I asked if DH could go and the lady said they really encourage dads to go which is great. If someone isn't happy with A MAN being there then THEY can bugger off!!

It all reminds me of a friends hubby. He wouldn't change his baby's nappy at first because she was a girl and felt uncomfortable!!!:eek::rotfl:

I've been feeling really yuck with a stupid cold:( Bit better now.

Hugs, congrats etc where needed:)

There is a soft play place here which is good called Moby's, its near Asda on Newgate Lane, but it isnt ideal for public transport :undecided
I would offer a lift but I have no idea how to fit the first size car seat bak in my car!

EA, is there one you know of that the buses go near?

Not that i know of, i dont know Fareham.

Lily is to big for her carseat anyway, i'll have a look later. Im on a cleaning mission

Lily is getting a My Pal Scout and some other small bits for xmas from us.

MIL asked Joe what he wanted for Christmas last night. He told her about the Razor Spark Scooter he wanted. She said that they would get him that. I told her that it cost £55 in Argos that it was too much for them to spend, but she was fine with it, so have given her the item no. quick smart:rotfl: . Score £55 I don't have to find.

I really need to try and get some decent photos of mine together. I am wanting to get some photo canvas's done for My parents and ILS for Christmas, but I can't get Alex to stay still. He will pose perfectly fine by himself, but once Joe is anywhere near him, he messes about.

i kinda hope PIL ask this year what to get Kian.
Last year it was a rocking horse which obv he cant use yet unless we hold him on it and then tbh he's not that keen. A swing for the garden would be ideal so i might drop some hints......
