    For us it's the dolls's house. It was £25 from argos about 3 years ago. We have decorated and painted it and added new furniture.The boys put cars and action figures in it and use it as a base and the girls use it for a variety of dolls and ponies . They have got hours and hours of play from this house.

    If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always got.

    O - forgot to put down pavement chalk - all time favourite - mind you the front drive looks like something from a crime scene by the time parents arrive and they have all drawn round each other ...... and usually me !
