but i am hiding this in here - got to start thinking about it cos money is tight.....

christmas ideas for a raucous 18 month old puhlease??? cheapish, my budget is probably £100 stretching to 150 for stuff that will last til at least his birthday in may

we got quite a bit in the sales already, 3 happyland things and an aquadraw, I think I'm going to get quite a lot of crafty things as she's really into that now and maybe a kitchen x

hmmmmm see i wanted to get him a balance bike or similar but we've decided to leave it til his birthday as it will be cold/wet before then and hes a bit little.......

it's hard to know what he might be into in a few months! i am tempted to just put money aside but im convinced things go up in price the nearer we get to christmas : / plus i think he will be needing new things in the next few months...

i do like the idea of an aquadraw (for me mwahahaha)

I'm getting Stephen an aquadraw too. I've seen a cute light up hoover in asda that I want to get him (his daddy had one when he was little and he loved it!) . He also loves the little kitchen at playgroup but all the ones I've seen say for age 3+ which I may just ignore! There is a little oven on asda direct for £10 that is quite nice too xx

Callum was 18months last Christmas nd to be honest we didnt spend too much we brought him a indoor slide and swing for his main pressies then just lil bits x family got him bounce and spin zebra, moterised bike, car garage and food trolley with till x

hmmmmm well we are stuck for space as we are still living in my mums spare room til after xmas (oh the shame of it )

Not old fashioned.. sensible. We got Immi the tesco one with bleepy scanner and OMG it is the most annoying thing in the entire world. When she sits with it she doesn't just scan the item she holds it down and all i hear is 'bllllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep'. I just want to throw the bloody thing out the window.

oooh that ramp looks like fun (must also be fun for mummy haha), we have done quite well at avoiding too many toys like that shell

we also had a look in the elc today and our local one is closing down and has loads in their sale just now, hmmm megabloks here we come, im sure by christmas he will be bored of the 5 we can still find!

I'm getting Arwyn one, maybe two, Happyland things and a dolly. I'm not spending a lot as she still has unopened birthday presents!!

he is mad about animals at the moment actually and does all the noises and signs i wonder if i could find a happyland-esque collection of animals (off to google) i havent texted you back btw cos my phone is being an *rsehole again

I'm hoping for a wee sale sometime between now and september, I have a 20% off voucher to use and I want the most for my money!!

(no text )

ewww wee.....

im totally stuck really for amazing ideas, maybe i will just have to wait, i don't know anything about 18 month olds?! maybe i will get him a pet dog hahaha

baby brother or sister?

i am strong against the forces of peer pressure!

maybe elijah would like a new phone for mummy for christmas

erm, no you're not!

we all know you want one, you're going to have one so just do it already!

i don't want smelly pre-eclampsia again so i have to stop stuffing my face first i think i would prefer the phone just now
