So. DD(6) has written a Christmas list

[NormaStanleyFletcher]

a toy cat
a toy horse (called toffee)
a trampoline
a slide
a table
a pair of scissors
a cleaning spray
a real pet cat
an ipad
a sofa
a place where I can put all my toys
three wheeled roller skates
a toy rabbit
a pet rabbit
horse riding lessons (only if the horse doesn't throw me off)
a butterfly mask
hairspray

She keeps adding to it, God only knows what will be on it next

Why does she want a sofa?

I think she may well be disappointed on the pet front

[PurplePidjInAPointyHat]

Can she not have a spray bottle full of water (with a dash of lemon for extra poshness) to play with? [hconfused]

[NormaStanleyFletcher]

Pidj - That may fool her - but I suspect that she would suss it straight away.

[PurplePidjInAPointyHat]

Not if you pour it from a (well rinsed) bleach bottle with lots of orange warning signs on [hgrin]

[NormaStanleyFletcher]

I think she would need the proper scent , as well as the cleaning power and the bubbles. I may give it a go. I am liking your style

[PurplePidjInAPointyHat]

Hence the lemon. Or, dissolve half an own brand baby sterilising tablet in the water so it smells like bleach and cleans stuff without costing a million pounds a shot?

[NormaStanleyFletcher]

It's not the cost.

It's the fact that she douses the whole room in chemicals.

I also wonder why she wants a table. We have a dining table, a coffee table, and she has a kids table in her room. So why an extra table?
