    Remember some of those programmes from my childhood. Moomins - I saw one for sale the other day and was tempted to buy it, it did the noise and everything really sweet. Was very MSE though and did the Do I need it, can I afford it?

    I know the name :o Good for you for doing the mse mantra :j I think the only thing I'd be tempted to buy would be Belle and Sebastien, a French import - I think it was dubbed - about an orphan boy with a Pyrenean mountain dog, I think he lived with his grandparents? Or was he fostered? It was fascinating ....

    I have *got* to go to bed. Shutting down now, sleep well all

    :eek::eek:....Oooh I remember Belle & Sebastian KC...:j...and White Horses.(similarly dubbed?) ..:)....oooh.....and Follyfoot.....and Black Beauty :eek:...(actually that's weird becuase I'm slightly scared of horses...and the closest I ever got to being an equestrian was a donkey ride at Woolacombe sands when i was 5 :rotfl:)

    I am however the proud owner of a full set of talking Clangers soft toys...(including the burbling Soup Dragon..)..and the Camberwick Green/Chigley and Trupton full DVD set :D

    Oh Wol, I can see where you're going :rotfl: I think he kind of wanted that one :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I was "up" :cool: late (and not in the same way, of course :p) after I posted - didn't get to bed till 1, which was pretty stupid. I'm going to have to do something about that, obviously haven't cracked it.

    I have two lists today :eek: one for what I want to do when I go out, the worst one of which is get my money back for that **** shopping trolley - when I went to Sainsbo, I used it - the same wheel fell off *twice* on the way there :mad: and the only reason it didn't fall off on the way back is that I kept kicking the outside of the axle to push it back on. Its really dangerous. He didn't give me a receipt, so its going to be tricky, but because I already took it back once, he'll remember me - I'll be nice first too :D imagine this smiley as being really evil, because once somebody takes advantage of me like this, because I'm nice and smiley, they don't get *another* chance to screw me over....

    The other list is stuff to do on the interweb ... I was hanging about on the computer twice this week, thinking, I know I've got to do stuff, lets play a computer game till I remember what it was :o:o:o so I've written it down :cool:
