evening (morning) all :wave:
sorry to bring this thread out of the gutter but I want opinions and MB is (as usual) to busy on the egg-box to listen to me :rolleyes:
DD1 wants a Wii for Crimble. Other than the fact you cant get hold of one for love nor money (unless you want the £4,000,000 bundle) she knows we are skint. She has asked everyone for money so she can buy one but has also asked that they wrap the money up so that she has something to open.
Still with me?
What she DOESN'T know is that we have the £179.99 for her to get a Wii (she thinks she is getting £50) but we really cant afford anything else for her. Soooooo, just to make Crimble morning a little more exciting I have devised a little treasure hunt that will go something like this:
Under the tree:- Envelope with note:
You should find hanging on the Christmas Tree- Small Box (on Christmas Tree) with 9 pennies taped inside
And you'll find it amongst lots of words you can see- Medium Box (On the book shelf) with 9 10p's taped inside
Take a look in the place where we cook the tea- Large Box (In the oven) with 9 £1's taped inside
You will find in the place that you go for a Wii- Wii shaped box (behind loo) with £170 in!!
