    ok - you have me worried now Ruth, have I made the classic mistake of buying what she said to get her - not getting what she really wanted? In my defence...not going big on prezzies htis year as we had one present ealry - little Esme is now 18 days old.
    Your wife sounds like a saint, Stage Fright. She goes through the pain of childbirth while you're at home wrecking things and falling off your rollers............. then all she wants for Christmas is a replacement for the thing you broke? She sounds like a good 'un to me, take care of her!

    BTW, congratulations on the arrival of little Esme - I can see why Christmas presents rather pale into insignificance when you've a got a little bundle of joy like that to look after. :D

    Imagine if you decided to buy a relative their own private jet, the amount of wrapping paper that would require...

    Or a house...

    The present that's the hardest to wrap is the most important one you can ever give.

    That's the gift of love. :cry::cry::cry:

    How big are they? Have you got a cat? It will love em to bits, in about 5 mins.
    Yep, a cat or dog will definitely love these! They scoot around, randomly change direction and make all sorts of noises. Best bit is when they run under the furniture then re-appear about a minute later. Enough to drive any cat insane!

    Or..........when you are climbing into the loft after 5 G&T's to get the presents down on Xmas eve and you step on/ move/ nudge and old preschool toy that now dwells in the loft and set it off. Not good as you frantically try to turn the bugger off and thnk of excuses to 6 year old daughter if she wakes up. Thats awkward, especially as lovely wife is cracking up at the bottom of the stairs at my inept endeavours. :D
