In my defence, he hasn't asked so I haven't pushed it.

COD are those supposed to support your cause????? I was talking about this sort of thing I wouldn't mind the sort you ds's have at all except for ds is only two! He doesn't even know what football is.

Have had a few printed but not character but breathed a sigh of relief when I pit a plain white one on and ds didn't notice,and it has been plain ever since

Ooh I like the last one you put up Tutter.

Thanks for all those links Nbgs too. Tractors are also a favourite of ds.

Right dances I am with you, I find. That Chelsea one is hideous. DS currently has a blue and red one with boats on from Next but I think it is getting a bit babyish for a 6yo. He says he wants a knights one. Does anyone know where I can get anything along that line?

DD will be getting a butterfly one I think (or poss. flowers) to go with her dressing table when we decorate her room in the spring. She currently has a plain blue one - poor neglected second child!

Can I just say on this matter that I loved how Cod was all right on and children have a choice etc etc and then posted links to the most bodenesque sports duvets I've ever seen....ahem [gr

I'll let you know if I see something on my searches Bozza.

DS1 has DR Who
DS2 has Cars teh movie duvet.
Both hideous
Both clash with the decor.But they love them , they wanted them.
Theri beds , their rooms. fine by me.

Character duvets are ok, but i wouldn't cross the line into wallpaper, curtains, bins, lightshades and other assorted accessories.

No just have the duvets, rest of room is nsutral and fairly good taste! Have to draw the line somwhwere!

foxtrot · 09/02/2007 19:31

actually i'm with you dances, and have sucessfully avoided the duvets - but father christmas (the DH version) brought spiderman, thomas and the disney princesses. I sneak on my tasteful mermaids, stripes, dragons and wizards whenever possible
