    Had a NSD today so didnt think I would have anything for the pot - however DS's school is having a jumble sale next weekend and while clearing out some bits I found £2.90 in an old denim jacket.

    Oh yes, anything by Vtech that has annoying music will be brilliant. Someone bought DD a bus that sings and although she still loves it, I have threatened to throw it away about a trillion times because the songs get stuck in your head.

    The worst is actually cheap play doh :rotfl:, it may not make any noise but it gets EVERYWHERE, and once the kids have ground it into the carpet, no amount of scrubbing or hoovering will get it all out :D . . not that ive ever bought my nieces and nephew play doh, paint, felt tips, umm a tattoo pen, body paint . . . :whistle:

    I have seen some really cool fabric pens on amazon . . might have to get them for my niece for christmas and forget to put a tshirt in :rotfl: . . . oooo just found neon ones! how cool are they!
