  • I am sure you have seen the advert fo Southern railways but each time I see it I think of your DS and trains etc, they have a "free" activity book

    http://www.southernrailway.com/search-results/?sitesearch=activity+book&gobut.x=0&gobut.y=0

    I don't think it has much to do with trains! but it does have a mask on the last page he might like to make :)

    I haven't read much lately sorry, hope all is well!

    Another productive day, I have listed 17 items on ebay :T and phoned my aunt and arranged to go round tomorrow to raid her address book for dads birthday box.

    Just been to the shop to get some bits for dinner, spent £4.89 on burgers, rolls and milk, and then nipped into tesco express (thanks hduk) and bought 80 tubes of smarties for ... £4.16 :j :j :D:D

    They have packs of 5 tubes on offer for 52p but they are also going through at bogof, so 10 tubes of smarties for 52p :T :T Complete bargain, and I do eat a pack a day on ww anyway, so that should do me for the rest of the year :D

    Morning all, a rubbish nights sleep last night due to the weather, having velux windows and being the highest flat around means I get battered when its rainy/windy. After that came the hailstones, then the thunder and lightning :cool: Ds slept through all of it but then nothing wakes him when he's asleep, I can go in his room, put the light on and hoover it and he doesn't wake up :D

    Today doesn't have many plans so far, we're going round to my aunts at some point to copy up her address book for dads memory box, and ww tonight , although that will be utterly pointless this week :o:o
