    I got this for DS2, http://direct.asda.com/Pack-Away-Garage/000784274,default,pd.html

    Finally decided on what to get the boys for Christmas. And xbox 360 between them. Chris has that garage and Michael will get the bakumon arena (half price in argos) then I'll be filling a stocking each and that's it. That is us cutting way back this year! *embarassed grin*

    Think you all deserve a treat.

    We went out yesterday for a wander round a nearby seaside town, went into an ice cream cafe for a takeaway coffee and they were selling gift vouchers for crepes and ice cream. Thought they'd be a nice pressie from Maddy to Ben and Erin, bit different.

    I'm in. providing i can get the ££ together for train fare .....and a lift to train station from DH or my mum.....

    could i be really cheeky and ask for a lift from the station from anyone who has a car seat for little fatty :T hope thats not too crass to ask :o

    susan - Alice is welcome to have Annabel as a little sister :D
    She likes Annabel - when you posted a picture of her the other week, Alice thought it was her and then when I told her it was someone else, she started telling a little story about Annabel splashing in puddles.

    On the subject of garages, can anyone remember this Fisher Price one? It think my brother got it in 1979.

    My Mam still has it and it's in excellent condition with all the stickers still on, all the cars and the windy up ramp and everything. My brother and me played with it loads, then my boys had loads of play with it and now Charlotte plays with it. My parents certainly had their money's worth :money:
    We had that garage!
