Blimey Christine, I thought I had problems lol!! oh and the other one is toys with STICKERS that you have to put on yourself. WHY????! when I were a gel, our toys came ready in the box, you just opened the box, took the toy out and played with it - and they were cheaper. why on earth do we pay so much, then have to build and decorate the flippin' stuff ourselves????! rant over lol Maz.

We learnt our lesson last year, spending most of christmas day untwisting those horrible plastic wires that come with absolutely everything you buy for kids. This year we took the wires off then put the pressies back in their boxes before wrapping them - but had to take a day off work to do it as they put so many of the rotten things on everything. Still, they come in handy for tying up plants in the garden so I've kept them all. Angela
