    I don't think I could face going round anyone's house either Sylvia if I didn't know them. It should be up to the carrier who delivered to wrong address to sort it out.
    My son had won loads of Lego in the past that he never played with. In the end I took to charity shop. I should have kept them and sent them on to you as they were full sets too. :o DD has a Lego set but a pink one, she won't play with any other colours!

    That's a good trick moving the monkey nuts fire**fly to confuse the squirrels! :D I bet they get more tame every day! You would be great working in a zoo or farm :)

    Thanks for the tip about the hp smart printer ellemm! I will avoid the ones that take up too much ink!

    Glad you enjoyed your Xmas dreaming_ and good luck for this years comping :)

    Good luck with the daily mags for wins Sheils ;) I thought i had won something earlier but it was a spam email!

    Alfie, I can see you have itchy feet again wanting to be back out doing the garden! :p I must admit I hate my garden looking muddy and full of leaves. Roll on the warmer weather!

    Katie, great price for fish n chips :) We had an offer in our local paper for a bogof in Barnacles but I forgot to cut out coupon!

    I've just pigged out on half a bar of galaxy and now I feel sick! _pale_
    Big thanks to all who contribute to the forums. Be lucky everyone and be safe!

    I fancy a nice new WIFI printer too wingo. Looked at some in Currys when I had vouchers but they all seemed really expensive.

    Forgot to say I will enter any Lego comps I see Sylvia. Have entered the one on the mag dailies a few times but will enter every day now although I don't think it has long to go.

    Thank Sheils. He usually struggles with everything as he can barely read although he is 9 due to him being autistic and ADHD but as there are pictures on the lego instructions and its really clear he seems to be really enjoying it with our help.

    Thank you also Wingo for your kind thoughts. I am just glad I have found something that seems to hold his interest.

    Hope you have all had a lovely day.

    I used to love lego when I was a child. I so enjoyed going to Denmark to see LEGOLAND and then the Windsor one many years later.
    The older boys had loads but it got all mixed up. DS3 was never interested and DD was never that bothered either.

    If I win some Sylvia I will also forward them on to you as mine don't bother with it anymore. I know how tough it is for children with autism as well as ADHD. The kids in our school have set routines and if anything changes in their routine it really takes them back a bit. I'm glad that your GS has found something he really enjoys. With my DD1 it used to be Bratz dolls and still is when she asks her younger sis to play although she won't admit she still loves them! She is still getting reviewed for autism but hers is more with her lack of understanding certain things and no social interaction.

    I used to love when DD was into Barbies. We used to search for the dark haired ones in Spain and had beach buggies, horses and yachts etc.

    Had an email from DS1 yesterday and he was off to Melbourne to watch the tennis. He was hoping to see Andy Murray. He used to try for Wimbledon tickets every year and never ever got any so nice he got ones in Oz.

    Good Morning,

    Slept in again. DH was going on about our night away so was late getting to sleep. Will have to get that booked this morning. Lake District prices are high where we want to go, cheaper during week but forecast for Sun and Mon are better.

    Sounds like you are going to be busy FF.

    Hope everyone has a lovely weekend. I am off to see how long it takes to do the Mag Dailies now so many are finished.

    Morning all, late start here today too :)

    Hope your DS1 gets to see Andy Murray sheils, one of my friends has been in Melbourne for a month, her daughter there was getting married and they managed to see Andy in his first match.

    OH has a 9 year old GS who has ADHD and he loves Lego too but as said it is quite expensive. I have had one win of Lego this year, ever hopeful of more ;)

    Enjoy the shed & greenhouse tidying FF, at least it is quite mild for getting on with those kind of jobs.

    Have fun with the GKs Sylvia

    Not much planned here yet, still on first cup of coffee :D

    Have a good day
