times table - boring question but help urgently needed!

[basic123]

H E L P M E P L E A S E - How do you get a thick mum to learn those boring tables all over again and so help her to help her children learn?! We have just reached that stage and before I know it they will know them and I will be grabbing the calculator. Anyone got any tips/advise/suggestions PLEEEESSSSEEEE!!!!!

Is there any way to make it easy/fun?

(Longstanding mumsnetter but had to change my name as I am sooooo ashamed please help!)

so i check out the site - which looks great until I discover ...this

Sounds like a bit of a bargain actually!

The catalogue's going in the bin anyway, far too serious and educational! But some interesting looking products for times tables......
