Dd1 is currently crazy about teletubbies, but here in Canada I can't find any merchandise. Is it readily available in the UK and if so where, as I could ask the grandparents to pick some up for Christmas presents etc.
TIA

Oh and I don't suppose anyone would happen to know which dvd has that scarey puppet that sings in the windows of the house on it? It terrified dd yet she keeps begging me to watch it each time tt is on

Its not the Christmas one ! You can get some tt stuff but not as much as you used to see around.Somebody was selling the soft toys the other day..Its a good idea to ask on the wanted thread. you can get things like the house but its big and not easy to pack ( I live In Italy). BUt I managed to get TT bath island back by wrapping it in bits. Bought it in Argos and had it posted to gparents. Think Woolies sold it as well.

sometimes you can order things from the UK amazon site and get them sent to canada (but it depends on the item, some aren't sent by amazon themselves IYSWIM)

Sure thing!

Always get Miracle whip and cool whip mixed up though, could be a disaster one day!
