Frugal fail - again

I finally dug out the game 'Guess Who' that I had had stashed since Christmas, and little bear loved it, though I think he is only just old enough for it. He and OH played against me and it was a lot of fun. However it was the most inexpensive version I could find, and the little cardboard inserts that we needed to flick down when a character was eliminated kept falling out and it took ages to get them all in place when we were setting up again. And little bear wanted again, and again, and again...

I suggested sellotape. OH wasn't so keen, and ended up going out and buying the electronic version (not very electronic!) which still isn't brilliant but a little easier to use. I am just as much to blame as I sourced it for him and reserved it online for him to pick up at Argos. Sellotape would have been a lot cheaper than £20.99.

Mind you, I think we will be having a lot of fun from it, and will definitely get our money's worth. I shall consider getting some more games for the 'C' word and birthday.
