Lulu, thanks, haven't heard of Oxford Reading Tree! It's from kids book tho Kipper and friends, they LOVE it!!
Nicky, I can see we'll have to tread carefully!!

oh and accept that sooner or later someone will upset you, or/and you will upset someone. i nearly cried when i got my first bollocking on here. even i get into trouble sometimes and im one of the less opinionated individuals (although i doubt bf would agree with that ).

lulumama · 14/03/2007 20:13

right, in DS;s reading books from school there is a dog called kipper !

amynnixmum · 14/03/2007 20:14

In dd's old books Kipper was a person and Floppy was the dog

kipperthedog · 14/03/2007 20:20

Hmm hadn't heard of Kipper as a person!
Nicky, hope you don't mind me jumping on your thread

ah, no, the Oxford Reading Tree ones are Biff, Chip and Kipper , and jolly irritating they are too

much better to be a cuddly dog IMO
