DD who is 15 asked if I could get a male friend a token birthday present. So I picked up a bubble kit from Lidl for about £2.99. It had different blowing thingies - one that whistled, one that spun around and one with different shapes etc. Apparently it was a huge success with gangs of teenagers having a really great time with a really 'uncool' present :lol:

I know what you mean, I think my 2 yr old has one. Think we've played with it more than him though!

 

it's my nana's birthday today. She is in a dementia home and practically wheelchair bound with bad eyesight. She has everything she needs and won't remember presents within 10mins of opening them. I made her a pot of jam and some scones, got ds to draw her a picture and framed it. Wrapped it all in pretty tissue and wrote her a handmade card. It cost literally nothing and she was really touched by it (for a few minutes anyway!) Money isn't everything.

Bubbles are 8)

 

My teenagers had a great time amking sand castles on the beach on a holiday in Wales at easter and I saw a group of uni students playing with a kids toy that vibrated and bounced randomly around the floor in a local charity shop this lunchtime, they had that proper look of delight on their faces that only comes from finding your inner child :D They bought it too. :D

Guess what we bought for our flatmate who started Chemo this week ( :( ) ...

 

We've got loads of little things, bubbles, yoyo, sweets, dvds and photos from this year to send down to her, aswell as a proper present of earrings.

Hopefully will cheer her up a bit :D

Right that's it - next time I go a market I am going to buy a bubble sword! :dance:

In Argos on Friday, a 40 odd year old man was buying a Space Hopper. I now want one of those too! 8)

Picture the scene...

Emma in her PJ's & pink wellies, going down the track on a space hopper, waving her bubble sword like a looney! Nice! :wink:

I want to know how you'll hang on to the space hopper and the sword at the same time :lol::lol::lol:

You'd need some sort of scabbard :think: I think that with practise you should be able to whip the sword out at intervals to deliver a hefty dose of bubbles without loosing control of the space hopper :think: - it's doable I think :lol:

One hand on space hopper, the other waving my sword - with the bubble sword holder tied around me. :wink: Don't you know anything?! :roll:

I will need a fellow space hopper person to follow & trumpet - toot toot tooodoooo! I am so going to get these two things now - you just wait! What else would I need to be a Space hopper, bubble blowing Cavalier?

:think:
