A courier should manage to get it delivered. :D I think we'd all chip in to share the cost if the reward was to see the photos. ;)

It just so happens that I have a pink tutu which I made for my son when he was little. And yes, I did say for my SON. He used to love to dress up in that and a set of beads... :lol: :lol:

Well, have you packed it up ready to send to Wulfruna? :lol:

And I bet your son will love you for making that bit of news public. :lol: Mind you I also have photos of my son dressing up in some of his sister's clothes when he was little. :roll: Including one in a skirt when he had nothing on underneath and he lifted the skirt up! :shock:

Aw, they were only little. I think they should be allowed to do things which are not "traditional" gender-assigned things when they are young. Let's face it, Action Man is only a dolly, after all. :D When I was little I liked things like Mechano. And yet you don't see me dressed up in Dr Marten's and lumberjack shirts. Well, not often, anyway. :lol:

And yes, I'll go and find it for you Scurra. :lol:

Actually, I must say, I don't suppose you'd have QUITE the same cute appeal as a 3 year old in one. But then the tree will hide any knobbly knees or hairy legs, so you'll be fine. Don't worry.

It's a good job I haven't been reading this thread, isn't it?

I lovely picture of F dressed in a satin dress at Kindergarten! and he was the one of my three that loved to play with dolls. The one he carried around had a pretty little blue romper suit, so it looked like a boy doll.

I have the best ever picture of my son, sat on a potty at the edge of a road, purple in the face... :mrgreen: I'm thinking ideal material for his looming 21st birthday... :mrgreen:

How much is it?
Same as last year- for UK subscribers £26.00. Just hit the buttons on the front page.

Oh - I forgot- Fraggle doesn't do that :lol: :lol: Do what you've done in the past Jude, send it to me- (from OH's account usually :lol: :lol: :lol: ) and I'll do the necessary transfer.
I love the Puzzlebrains logo - can we buy a mug or a coaster with the web address on it?
Not yet, but it could be arranged if enough want to pre order. I do have a contact :D

Personalised cotton carriers are available at anytime (just not now please- xmas is not in question!!!!) , logo one side, personal message on the other. Just PM me.

Ooops - forgot to mention mine had arrived as well (Monday I think). While looking at daily puzzles I have one portion of my brain compiling "101 uses for a fish". :lol:

The letter has been looked at (of course I'm in for another year), and the puzzles have been tucked away for the holidays. I look forward to the changes coming in the New Year and have my fingers crossed for every success in the venture.

Kingsley's has arrived, but F and I are still anticipating. I think our sorting office is about to reach meltdown point! :lol:

I'm not surprised at all if the postie hasn't delivered yet. Two days ago I watched 2 posties in the back of a BART - in a side street- throwing post around with what appeared to be no logical process going on at all.

Keep me up to date. Do let me know if your envelope doesn't arrive within the next few days. They were all posted at the same time.

I would definitely like to order a mug and some coasters. I would use the mug in school and the coasters too. I have over 100 people a day pass through my office - it could advertise for us. :D

Yes, Ivan is going to transfer the money for me :lol:
