I have managed to get my hands on this Christmas's most wanted gift lol. A Nintendo Wii. I have been searching shops and online for the last couple of months and had no luck. Apparently there are 85000 of them arriving in the UK before end of November and they are all pre sold!
I had no idea what else to get the kids and just happened to mention this to a friend of a friend! She then got on her phone to her hubby who phoned his mate and within 2 hours I had a Wii - no questions asked - no receipts lol
So now there is Xmas in this house after all, just have to buy some games and they will be happy wee boys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i bet they willbe over the moon with that bron!!
Plenty of them here still in the shops. they look like fun, some of the games are advertised on the tv here, you can do vitual bowling and other games, you actually have to do the actions and not just push buttons, very clever!!

I cant wait lol!! The kids dont know we've got it, and I am sooooooooooo tempted to open it and have a try lol. With the pack we have bowling, golf, tennis and something else. Have bought the accessories (golf club tennis racket) so I will remove anything breakable before we start There is a new game advertised on tv and its mario and sonic at the olympic games. On the ad, it shows people with controllers in hand, and running on spot and that makes your character in the game run!! Could be easy exercise pmsl I will find a link so can show you Diana |

And the only music he wants on it is all the James Bond theme songs lol!! We like our music in our house, I cant sing to save my life but it doesnt stop me lol. Unfortunately my 3 boys have all inherited their mothers musical talent!! And the more alcohol I have the better my singing gets (in my eyes only) |

LOL rdsmum, alcohol is a marvelous thing and creates wonderful singers and story tellers of us all. Daughter got an MP3 player last xmas we liked it so much we went and bought one for us - half price in the sales of course!

I made this really dumb suggestion to Rhys, in the ambulance, they were trying to get a line in and not having much success, anyway I was trying to get him to count through it he made it to 20 and then he lost it, so then I said to him, think of something good like what we'll do at Christmas time and what you want for Christmas, his heart rate jumped to 230 so they stopped, I didn't really think he'd heard me, but the little bugger has been hitting me up for a psp ever since, because apparently I said I'd get him whatever he wanted - which is not how I remember it.  Anyway it looks like he may be getting a psp for Christmas... |

I know that feeling Lux. The countless times I had to bribe Kerry when he's had to have some medical procedure. I was lucky though, as he was a lot younger & happy with toy cars. He's getting a psp for his birthday, but his is 2nd hand and one that he went and put on layby at the Gamesman. Came home from tech a month ago and told me he had done that.  I have taken over the payments and told him I'd give it to him. He's not heard of the one Brons talking about yet, but when he does, no doubt that will be a "want to have" item. |
