We're looking to get a playhouse for the children and I found this - he won't let me get it . It's very good value I think!

I think the burger place you're thinking of is Leon. Big vote for Zetter, fab food and v happy to entertain children. I have not had a happy expreience with Le Flaneur and children but perhaps I was unlucky.

I love that you say my first pirate ship, as though there is a natural progression on to owning the real thing.

they do replicas of your own house! (check out the Queen Anne style at £24k!!)
Do you think one needs planning permission?

Hmmm, I like the Classic Painted cottage Enid but at only 5.5k, it might be a bit cheap and nasty.

Reckon you're lucky it's still in stock, especially now it's been outed on MN. You'll just be saying "what if" it sells out before you order yours !

Oh yes sock mummy - a terrace! In fact, I've got 3 children, so 3 of them would look fantastic!

How can a feeling father deny his children somewhere like this to play. He ought to get two of them to make up for it!

casbie · 04/05/2007 11:46

look out for Rosepetal Cottage by Worlds Apart, in TRU and Argos in May - gorgeous...

I worked on it!

Have just remembered my childhood 'playhouse' - a sheet with doors and windows drawn on it hung across the hallway. Which explains years of psychosis. Your children need this.

fleacircus · 04/05/2007 11:39

Good grief, put that in my garden and there'd be a family of squatters living in it by the end of the weekend.

It's not a lot to ask is it, one little playhouse.

Divorce the bastard.

My parents didn't get me one of those and I've turned out to be a right mess because of it.

Rarely having a garden, moving a lot and having no money were their feeble excuses.

Bah.
