My son is so cute… he said we needed a ps3 keyboard for our Wii! It is amazing the power of advertising especially on a 4 / 5 year old. When I tried to explain it is only for PS3 and we don’t have one… his logical answer was to buy one! Considering we have a PS2 that is practically untouched… I don’t think so! At least on the positive side, the Wii is a hit and well loved.
My friend’s little gorgeous daughter is really into making up necklaces and jewellery from beads. I was thinking that perhaps I could get her some beading tools as a birthday present. I am not quite sure how she currently makes hers. I should ask her mum in case she already has some. I remember fondly making necklaces out of pasta. I wonder how that would go down as a present today! LOL!
The gadget shop has gone under again! It ceased trading at 5pm today. So between you and me, I place my vote on The Joke Shop any day for all your toys and gadgets! (Even if someone tried to resuscitate it).
I bought a ball pit for my kids which they love but I keep having to completely pack it away because of the neighbour hood cats who try to mark everything and I mean everything. So I thought about getting a ball pit cover but they are not easy to come by and when you do find them, they are expensive. It is not like I am after some hot tub covers just a ball pit cover. Maybe I will fashion some out of black garbage bags and duct tape. LOL!
This year unlike past years where I always buy a trick from The Joke Shop to play on someone, I was too busy with trying to travel to visit family over Easter. So when I received a call telling me that my brother was not going to join us, I immediately put it down to it being an April fool prank. My first reaction was not “oh no” but “I’ll act surprised later.” No insurancespecialists could have readied me for the fact that he actually really was not turning up! I guess it was after mid-day and therefore the joke was on me. Not funny in the least. Never mind.
To end on a good note… here is my son’s favourite joke…
“Why did the banana go to the doctor?” “Because he wasn’t peeling well!”Can you believe it… woolies is back!!
Ok! It is only available online and not quite as good as it used to be… but its back.
They have a limited selection but they do have entertainment items, Ladybird clothing and toys!
So I am off to test them… and will let you know how it goes!
I am trying to work on a reward chart with my son. So far it seems to be working well. Everytime he does something good he gets a sticker for his reward chart. However when he disobeys he gets told that now he will not get his star (removing a sticker is not as easy as Super Nanny seems to imply as it results in a torn chart). He also knows that when his chart is finished, he can go with me to a toy store and pick out a toy of his choice. Needless to say, he is really excited about it all. My only fear is that he will want a whole bunch of toys and not just one!! Well I will keep my fingers crossed till then and maybe use the other toy wishes to encourage him to get more stickers for his next chart.
Has anyone had any success with Reward Charts?
The Joke Shop has given us the opportunity to run a competition with lots of goodies to win!! The reason for the competition is that April Fool is creeping upon us… and as you know April Fool is the day where you can pull all sorts of tricks!!
The goodies are all supplied from The Joke Shop. And this is what is up for grabs!!
So what do you have to do to lay your hand on some tricky fun goodies! Easy… All you need to do is review a product from The Joke Shop. You don’t need to have bought it before, you could just say why you want a particular product and what you would do with it. You could also mention pranks that have been carried out in the past or even a good joke with links to a product could be considered! Although you do not need to add photos… photos are likely to enhance your post and obviously better your chances of winning.
The best review wins the Fart Machine and Smells! Though if their review is that amazing about something they would like to try… perhaps The Joke Shop would consider giving them what they wish for!! You never know!!
As with everything there are rules, T’s&C’s, etc. So here is the basic but not exclusive list…
It’s quite easy to do and a fabulous prize could be winging it’s way to you. If you can Tweet, Stumble, Digg or promote the competition in any way, let us know in your comment so we can give you some bonus entries.
ELC are really trying their best to capture as many toys sales as possible in the lead up to Christmas. Which is a good thing for you and I who probably have a list as long as Santa’s to fulfill!! So, this year ELC have severals products on offer (some may change until Christmas though) but they are also offering FREE delivery on purchases over £100. It would be nice if it were lower, but spending £100 at ELC is not hard to do especially not bearing Christmas in mind.
And here are some discounts you may be able to use at ELC.
All you have to do is click on the link which takes you straight through to ELC and then input the code at checkout. Bear in mind that you can only use 1 voucher at a time, and not all will work for everyone, but these codes should help most of you. So if one code does not work for you, try the others.
Vouchers are valid till Christmas Eve!
