When Big One was little, she was given a whole lot of cuddly toys. And these included a big pink bear from our neighbour (who had obviously won it at a funfair and didn’t know what to do with it!) as well as the big bear that...

Did you ever ask your friends to join mylot?? If you did, what was their response?? I did. At first, they looked interested, or, pretended to be interested, but none of them joined. What was your experience??

Fleur @Traceyjayne I never saw it on TV, thankfully, I think that would have spoiled the mental pictures I had after reading all the books. I read them as a child, and then again later, and I've read them again to both my girls, we all love them.

Fleur As my partner pointed out, it could well be made in the same way as the ready-made foam sweets you can buy, but we just don't see that process. That's true, but I don't like those sweets anyway.

Fleur It can be really hard to find buyers for more specialist stuff. Someone out there probably needs exactly those things, but they just don't know about them.
