    I've just bought the Olympians and the jubilee set to put away, still got the royal wedding set in the box untouched by human child.

    Are they the antiques of the future then?

    I've seen it but so far resisted, I think I'll get it once I come back my holidays in June. I still haven't used my 10% discount card in ELC yet, it would be rude not to!

    Debenhams have got them in their on line blue cross sale for 20 % off at the moment - have you noticed that the track set has a podium with three wheelchair users on it but no idea of how they hopped their racing chairs up their? Not very accessible me thinks!!

    trust you to notice that Jen

    Just been up the shed to get my big bag of happyland out for tomorrow and have found evidence of mice playing in it Not impressed that the little policeman didn't evict them!!

    All disinfected now and safely back in the warmth of my play room. Won't make that mistake again!

    I've decided against getting the Olympic set as my mindees are too young to appreciate it and I can't justify the expense just for me to play with it

    I have bought the people set though & the Queen's jubilee set

    My Olympic set arrived this morning. It was reduced from £20 down to £16. Im going to save it till nearer the time.
    I had a look at the Jubilee set but i can use my Royal Wedding set and my London set instead, the only thing missing would be the cake.

    i seen this - is the track jigsaw like? Thought hurdles looked fab fun and wheelchairs is fab to be included.

    i love happyland and get it out sometimes but hardly any mindees touch it - too young or too old me thinks - cant wait for my LO to get bit bigger
