The letterbox catalogue came today. For those who haven't seen it, there are lots of nice toys and games (and some 'nice' prices) but there were things like a jigsaw of England where the lift out pieces were the counties of England - he got that last Christmas and it was rather lost in the shuffle. As I sort through the house in his first half term, I shall be seeing what I can get out and re-introduce when I find.
I enjoy looking at things like the toy wooden castle - even if he didn't have one, we don't have the space, and the figures - HOW much for four? And I almost certainly will pick up one or two bits from it.
Unfortunately little bear has been looking at it. He already is constructing a Christmas list which would have to be delivered in a convoy of lorries. A catalogue doesn't help. He has marked the page with the dressing up costumes (HOW much?! I can't believe they can ask that! I need to learn to sew and stop being scared of my sewing machine(s)). It is going to be a long, long run up to Christmas.

THanks for this Sybil, I've been after one of those county jigsaws on and off for ages. I se ethey do one for Europe as well. And the clocks look interesting...
Hazel - have I put you in the path of temptation? Let me tempt you some more, try Hawkins Bazaar if you haven't already. I expect to spend around £50 on goodies for Christmas/little bear's birthday/quick 'token' presents/stocking fillers there. Good for the Secret Santa. Please forgive me for further temptation. WS x
