    Jakesmum my son also has the toy story collection going. he's 2 and we must watch it at least once a week. :rotfl: I'm sticking to the small size toys to save my pennies lol, I find eBay alot cheaper. I just brought mr prickles and buttercup of there for £4 for the both :T
    Mind you they swap their interests so quickly I never seem to be able to complete a collection, which of course is very frustrating for mummy :mad::rotfl:

    Unfortunately it all started with a trip to the Disney St0re which kind of set the president on size :o soooo its £25 a time for us :o I only found Zurg because it suddenly appeared on Amaz0n for £37 delivered (had only been available for USA for ages) was in my basket and everything ready to buy when I thought 'ooo will just check Disney online' and there it was :j. It was £30 delivered for just Zurg or £50 for both so was kind of money saving to buy them both wasnt it? . . . well thats what im telling myself :rotfl:

    I shall try and remember to take a picture when it arrives so you can see her lol. Aww when we watched it I sat there and wailed 'I cant believe he left them!!' to which DH turned to me and said 'its a cartoon you numpty' :eek: How rude! :rotfl:

    I think I was more upset for andy's mum when she was looking at his empty room! :( my kiddies are still small (5 and 17months) but the thought of them leaving is awful (most days :rotfl: )
    DH also tells me off for crying in films/cartoons. Men!!!!

    I console myself with the thought of Jake (11) leaving by thinking about the fact his sister will then have his room and I can turn the box room into a craft room :rotfl:. I have already informed him of this and that once he goes there will be no option to come back as his room will be occupied :D:D.

    Well i have caved and counted pot. Need to see if it tallies up as think OH maybe dipping in it. £54.43 in there.:)

    Ooh, I know I would be sorely tempted to count mine if I hadn't got one of those sealed pots from poundland. I can't wait until it's time to prise it open :)

    Off to the shops so hopefully have something to pot when I get back

    That is a bargain so it's well justified :T luckily we only have the large buzz and the rest are all medium size so only costing £10-15 per toy. Daddy's trying to push dinasours onto him, so no doubt I'll be buying them soon :mad:

    Mishmogs I live near thetford forest, 10 minutes away. Hope you have a lovely stroll, it's lovely down there when the weather is nice :)
