The end of an era is approaching the Mars household!

[MarsLady]

The DTs have one more half term at their playgroup. All 5 of my children have been there and so I have a 12 year history with them.

The woman that runs 3 Monkeys has been kind, flexible and generally wonderful. All of my children have loved it there. It's old fashioned where the emphasis is on play not learning (that said my children left knowing their numbers, colours, letters, days of the week etc) and the children love it.

In short... my baby days are over and I want to give Ann a special present from the Mars household and I'm in need of suggestions. Happy to spend up to £50 which works out at £10 per child.

Thank you!

Just to let you know (those that give a fig)... I went with nbg's suggestion and I'm so so so happy with the result. So much so that I want to keep it for myself.

Avril is lovely to deal with and incredibly quick! Can't wait to give it to Ann. Will let you know her response on opening it.

She cried! Ann never cries! One of the mums came out and asked me what I'd done to her because she was holding a box and crying.

She loved it and I cried a bit! I don't do the crying thing either.

So that's it! Today is the last official day of 3 Monkeys.

Thanks Nbg... great suggestion.
