They had the Puppy Grows one on The Paul O Grady Show a few weeks ago. It actually grows, but it takes a week to grow to full size. Strange!

so its just not my kids

I can see my son wanting transformers this year besides other daft thing!
what ive learnt over the years is not to get stuff that you have to build, cuz the bits just end up evrywhere

What a load of Burnley football club. Where is the PS3 or the new PSP lite or a iPod touch?

My son is very into Roary the racing car so I have got the Roary racing track for one of his christmas presents. I don't mind it myself either.

Peter Kay does the voice of Big Chris. It's better than some of the drivel that's on for kids these days.

My daughter likes In the Night Garden (more's the pity). She will receive a Ninky Nonk on Christmas day. Oh happy days!

What about the nintendo Wii that i must ave taken a few thousand phone calls for over the past couple of weeks!! cant get them again in preston i dont know about up your way!!

A word of advice if there is something you need for xmas get it when you see it dont leave it for "next time" or it wont be there people buy more for xmas every year and you can guarantee that what your children want is what all the children will want and it will go! some cpmpanys find it hard to keep up with the demand so production slows and make everything harder to get. Oh and try as many toys as possible before xmas that will save on disappointment on the big day when you have missing parts or faulty items at least that way you have more chance of going back to the shop and getting a replacement.

My lass is married off now. It makes for a lot less head scratching come Christmas. I absolutely hate having to think of things to buy. Dont mind shelling out, its just the thought process involved in choosing stuff...I hate it.

My Grand-Daughters are easy to buy for. They love bits of this bits of that. So long as they are girly.
My Grand-Sons now that's were the nightmare begins and it gets harder every year.

only 1 grandaughter who will be 1 in nov, so its realativly easy at that age n when shes at the awkward age i'll probably have croaked anyway so dont see a problem.
