We are just having a quick Nick Junior Moment while I catch my breath

Now I can see why Cbeebies is so fabulous.

EVERY ad: "I want one of those mummy", starting with Baby Princess Alexa, a baby doll who has a crown and a bottle which LIGHTS UP and the dolly plays music

.

AARRRRRRGGGGHHHHH

Just changing channels now.... from now on NickJR will be skyplussed only

Is there??? Really?

I was in a discount store yesterday (don't I live the high life?

) and there was a Fast Food Barbie with her own little drive-thru booth. Made me

**Damsella** · 23-08-2006, 08:45pm

Yup, it comes with a pink pooper scooper

**August Girl** · 23-08-2006, 08:46pm

I'd have thought the poo would be pink too

**Damsella** · 23-08-2006, 08:48pm

Actually I think you feed the poo back to the dog and it comes out the other end again

**noo noo** · 23-08-2006, 09:36pm

At the moment Kyle is desperate for a "Pixel Chick" and some "Floam"

My friend told me today this is what her daughter wants for her 4th birthday. I was

that such a toy exists.

Yes, apparently the dog eats 'food' and it comes out the other end as a poo. I now call it Barbie with the dog that eats poo.

That line just made me laugh out loud (so the guy I share my office with atm thinks I'm nuts!)

I really hate the commercial channels for kids - but Thomas has been going off CBeebies, but not quite old enough for CBBC. He now gets a choice of either CBeebies (which he will sometimes watch) or one of his videos.

DH went through a phase of letting Thomas watch NickJr and it was amazing the amount of advertising he managed to pick up on.

Not only does Abbie see things SHE wants (Floam and a Princess Max at the moment) She also sees stuff that she thinks I want too!

At the moment she is campaigning for me to buy Babylicious meals for Connie (Because it means I will have more time to spend with my family apparently) and Flash scrubby cloths (because they get rid of even the toughest stains mummy)!

There are so many weird toys about now. I find it hard enough buying presents for my nephews. I'm glad I haven't got children yet and don't have to worry about it all too much.
