Yes we donated an old canon to her (after she broke the lens but still works) and she also has a Vtech. So camera is out should have mentioned that...


She's into dolls, role playing, reading, ballet, drama club, sports, school, anything girly but has pretty much anything. First grandchild so spoiled rotten

Actually had a couple of good ideas while watering the garden - flower press and rose bush as she is very into flowers and always wants to cut mine


any electronic gadgets that help with reading out there? That would be good for her


and if any of you have a toy kitchen would you recommend it? Or is it going to just take up space and not be used? She loves helping out while we cook and makes her own brews out of leaves and sticks etc

Yep though perhaps something less thorny... She has a set of gardening tools but most have been left in the rain for over a year so a new set would be a good idea. I need a plant that flowers profusely and is good for cut flowers.


Any good books you folks can recommend? She has tons of books but haven't bought her anything recently (Octonauts was latest purchase some months back).


I like the toy kitchen idea but they are either plastic and rather awful or wood, very pretty and really expensive. Hmmmmm

I used to love the Katie Morag books (Marie Hedderwick) and recently bought some for my 4 year old goddaughter. If she hasn't already discovered them, the Milly Molly Mandy books are fab for that age too.


If she likes ballet, does she do lessons - maybe a new bag for her shoes? Or a ballet-themed book?

Has she got any of the klutz drawing books? Bug habitat, worm farm, ant farm - worm farm went down really well with my girls. Cool colouring books, eg the doodle series, with a big box of pencils/pens. Junie b jones series are brilliant us classics about a small girl starting school. Playmobil/Lego.

    • I have a rescue Spanish greyhound (galgo) from the charity mentioned above. You can contact Greyhounds in Need or one of the more local Kent greyhound rescue charities. They are fantastic family dogs. They do love walkies 2 or 3 times a day but they actually don't need to be walked too far and then they will happily loaf around on the sofa being very chill. They are brilliant with kids but not recommended if you own a cat as they have a strong prey drive. They also should be kept on the lead in local parks. They prefer to be around other sight-hounds (well my one does) and there are loads of local sighthound owners in Peckham, Crystal Palace etc and a very lively WhatsApp group that is brilliant if you need dog sitting as you can usually find someone to do that for free in return for you looking after the dog at a later date etc.
    • @Jenijenjen I assure you we are always polite and friendly too! Which is why the behaviour we have been receiving is so frustrating. The kids always leave her with a “Thank you have a lovely day”  Our concern is leaving the gate slightly wedged doesn’t stop the action of slamming it open and closed…still leading to damage  
    • If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?
    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face.
