It's Lyra's birthday in a few weeks and I wanted to get her something non-electronic, something to help with her imagination and physical skills. I was in Asda and there was this huge box of Play-Doh - 40 different colours in little tubs reduced from £27 to just £12.

'Well that will do me' thought I.

When I got to the self-service till with the rest of my shopping I could not find a way to buy it as it was a hand written reduced label so I asked the girl doing the tills for help. She took it way and came back to type in the amount - £6!!!

Like I say - a bargain! With that I got Lyra a pinney and a plastic tablecloth with shells and sea creatures on to save mum some cleaning up.

That sound ideal WM in the sunshine out side

You are too thoughtful WM. Mrs S and I deliver house destroying presents with a smile....

Although, until recently, our youngest grandchild, at 12, is in Argentina and out of range, #3 son produced a daughter last year and we get to do this all over again.

Oh, she'll have fun with that

Hours of fun with that

I love play doh, it feels so nice and even smells nice.

She will love that

Oh she'll love that you lovely grandad.

The box is sat on the table in the dining room and every time I go in I get itchy fingers.

I remember plasticine from my younger days and how bad it was for carpets, furniture and clothes.

I'd find it hard to resist WM.

One Christmas I got some powder in my stocking that, mixed with water, made up into a bright purple modelling dough! You can guess what a mess it made of my candlewick bedspread!
