to think spending a hundred pound on a rocking horse is a waste of money, kids hate them anyway.

[iamjigsaw]

you do not need to wastespend that much on one.

People can spend their money on whatever they like. Nobody else's business. £100 is not a lot of money to some people, to others it's a fortune.

However, you really are going to have to stop starting threads about threads before this lot pierce your piles with their pitchforks!

How sad a thread about an thread.>>> Obviously jealous that someone CAN spend £100 on a farking rocking horse. Go away.

OMG. LOL. £3500 on a rocking horse, now I'm and off to start a thread about it.....

I'm only green.

Oh, lor'.

Is this what Mumsnet has come to?

We have a £100 rocking horse. It was joint Christmas present for the DDs many years ago. They all love it still and so do all their friends. Who are all these weirdo kids you know who hate rocking horses? I expect they all have electronic games that cost way more than a rocking horse.

I got DS's for £20 from a charity shop /smug.

DS has spates of enthusiasm for it, and the local kids love it too, so it's been well worth it.

You could buy the real thing for that amount of money.

That's lovely Malory. Ours is nowhere near as elegant- more cart horse than thoroughbread

waw that is an expensive rocking horse, £3500. I wish i could. We saw a gorgeous rocking horse at an antique fair before ds was born, was all wooded, carved and painted with perfect hair. Was much more than £100.
I dont think £100 is too much tbh, they last years and can be passed on.

lol. it can bear an adults weight.
lol. sorry bodybag but you have to admit, that is funny.

My mum splashed out the money my gran left us on a fantastic rocking horse - like one off a carousel. She was going to buy us premium bonds but then we saw this horse in a shop window and it was exactly what she had to spend and she thought, "what the hell". It cost a packet (£150 back in the 70's) and was totally frivolous... and we absolutely loved it.

lolololol at 'you bastard'

Found the thread.

Oaky will have a read and comment later
