MY BARGAIN!

SPARKLER1 · 04/02/2005 23:17

Went out to do a bit of window shopping today. Was looking at the toys with dd in Woolies and we came across a puppet theatre, with 4 puppets, tickets, script and a small sound effects machine. I know how much dds love these and I was hovering over it wondering whether or not I should buy it. It was £29.99 reduced to £19.99 so I was very tempted. My weakness got the better of me and I picked up off the shelf and went to the checkout. The cashier rang it into the till and said that they had discounts on chad valley toys and that there was another £5 to come off the price.
Only paid £15.99. Well chuffed!

Sorry paid £14.99 for it - the other pound was spent on chocolate bars which I shouldn't have bought!!

I put it together for them when they came home from school - and felt really excited for them. Was really looking forward to having to sit in the "audience" and watch a performance. It didn't go quite according to plan. Dds spent the next half an hour arguing that they didn't want to be the crocodile or the policeman. Dd2 (3) was insisting that the lady puppet wasn't called Judy and insisted that her name was something different!

Thanks Sparkler

How are you as I haven't chatted to you in a while?

I have really been trying to cut down on here as it was taking over tbh!

Glad you found what you were looking for nutty.

Got to collect it some time in the week.

It doesn't have a futon with it but tbh i wasn't that bothered about that anyway.

Have got the bug now
