    Toy Show's theme is revealed and I'm not sure what I think. Thought it'd be more Christmassy & orginal the way he went on last day.

    I honestly can’t think of the last Christmassy toy show theme. I remember one year there was a Victorian dickens theme it was perfect.

    If you see them, buy them and hide for near the big day !! Always seem to be a scarse commodity.

    We had our annual Christmas Shopping Day yesterday. Not the greatest day for me because I was sick for the last few days and it took a huge effort to drag myself around Dublin for the day. We had a nice meal though and then went home where I went straight to bed!!
    Feel a good bit better today but am working from home with Christmas FM on in the background so that's definitely helping the R&R! :D

    Tree going up this weekend so the kids are super-excited about that although there were a few faces when they were told they can't stay up for the Toy Show (we have a long day out and about tomorrow so they need to be in bed at their normal time)

    We will record it and watch it earlier tomorrow evening. Not worth the drama tomorrow morning, we have a busy day like yourselves.

    I've told our eldest that she can stay up - I highly doubt that she'll make it to it. I could hear her moving around in her room at 6.30 this morning so she'll be wrecked come 8pm. And she loves her leaba.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,447 ✭✭✭✭DvB


    Our two tried to stay up last year but himself conked out cold around 10ish, herself was wide awake & full of the joys though. Have told them they can try to stay up this year but we'll record it in case either of them gets tired and goes to bed, and we'll watch it tomorrow instead.

    HAve already been informed by the mrs that treats have been brought home specifically for the event... any excuse!!
