Rubbish toys and games

Here are two of my contenders for crap games this Christmas -

I like 'em!

[sherrardk]

I think they are awful - a game about potatoes or a crapping dog!

[boxtops]

That last one is amazing - "teach your child to pick up dog poo with its hand", more like!

[Everhelpful]

Best one is: Whac-a-Mole. "£26 at Amazon,£19.99 at Argos,but only £7 at ASDA Direct.

lol, what's wrong with snakes and ladders??

[redcrx]

lol my kids want both of those, such a shame santa has run out of stock :)

[sherrardk]

It comes to something when they base new games on potatoes or poo!

Red, according to no 2 son, as a result of global warming, Santa's runway is shorter than usual, so he can't have his sleigh as heavy as he used to so he may only manage one toy for each child this year (think the teachers are preparing the kids for the recession!)

annie, thats a great way to think!

how was disney?

[annie0000]

we all enjoyed it (mostly) I think we are probably not really disney people though. With it being fairly quiet, we got on pretty much everything that we wanted (at least once!) after the first day and a half, struggled to fill day 3 and nearly didn't bother going back into the park for the morning this morning, but ended up there as nothing really else we could do for just the few hours. Boys wouldn't go near the characters at all (except darth vader!), didn't want to see the parades or anything. Think we maybe should have gone a few years ago. Younger son badly hurt his ankle before we left and we nearly had to cancel, he was however in a bit of a grump on and off and ended up banned form his ds etc for 1 night (and today for a) being a pain in the @rse and b) having a fight in the airport!!) If I am charitable I'll blame it on having a sore leg.

[redcrx]

lol well i hope he feels better soon.
such a shame they werent into the parades etc, but good that you didnt have to queue for anything. My youngest wouldnt go near the characters either, but at least that will save us a lot of wasted time next time.

It is, quite literally, broccoli!

Kids just love poo

[annie0000]

he was fine after the first day red - he milked it a bit for the 2nd and then forgot until he thought it would be to his benefit to act it up. He just likes to be obtuse and has a massive chip on his shoulder - he is perfectly pleasant to the rest of humanity and is a really well behaved (for everyone else) intelligent, kind thoughtful boy - he just happens to be a pain in the @rse for us!!

Mini crx will maybe think differently about the characters now that she is getting older - a lot of little ones find them quite frightening I think.

Oh my word.
