    I saw these in Hatfield Superdrug on Tuesday 2nd and they were £6.99 !!!!!!
    :hello:
  • Yes I bought one of these giant Space Hoppers in Superdrug Huntingdon for a fiver. It was for my kids but when I found it takes my weight (over 17st - I'm so ashamed) I was hopping on it myself. Also got a pair of Inflatable boxing gloves at 6.99 but my wife keeps beating me up with them "For fun!"

  • They have these in LIDL from time to time for about this sum of money - I don't think it is a great bargin

    There's still loads in leeds today.


    Hi is that in the centre or white rose, I live and work in Northish leeds so difficult to get there, but I want one (even having followed childish memories to my embarrassment!!)

    seems like a great idea, however be warned!!

    On my birthday, I decided to have a go on my dd boyfriends skateboard!!

    However, being a girl and from the past, my skateboard consisted of a board on an old skate, made by my dad (bless him), so I had no experience of what a real state of the art skateboard was like!!!!!!!!!!!

    One foot on, off the board went and off I fell, badly!!!

    It was my birthday!!!! (I know an excuse,! but true!) 3 torn ligaments!!! and loads of embarrassing comments later! oh and it hurt!!

    So be warned!! (practice before you go public!!) Pogo sticks, skateboards, hoppers etc, the thought is great, have ago first, perhaps even watch what someone else looks like!! (our age obviously) before going public!!

    I speak from experience, sadly!!!!

    But on the other hand enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:T
    ACII and Chartered so now I can focus on learning to play my beautiful Sax. 🎷
