Seb used to have one of those drawling things- magnetic "pad" with a special pen that you could draw on I with, then an eraser which was on a sliding bar at the bottom. He loved it but chucked it from his pushchair a few weeks ago. We are taking him on a 7hr flight on Wednesday and feel it will be invaluable but haven't got a clue where I'd get one from?!


As a slight aside; are toddlers allowed their own handluggage (mini backpack) on flights?

(we are flying BA)


Ta!

I don't know re etch a sketch I'm afraid although I'm sure I've seen cheapo versions in the Peckham pound shops. If not Argos? Pound shop also sells fake toy iPhones... ;)


But toddlers (and babies) get full hand (and hold) luggage allowance I think. Was certainly the case on our flight, regardless of having a seat. So you basically have 4x hand luggage allowance - loads! I think I said my handbag was baby's but they could have their own bag instead. It's kind of fair enough given the amount of detritus these babes require on long journeys!

I bought a little version of an etch a sketch in ELC in Mothercare Peckham. Bought it esp for a flight to NZ and it's still a big hit with my 18 month old, even though he won't use the larger version his sister has! Was earlier this year but ELC still do them so possibly in stock.

    • Ocado stopped sourcing from Waitrose a few years ago. They now source from M&S and general brands. Waitrose have their own delivery service now. I don't know how well served SE22 is by it. Ocado offers for new customers are, or certainly were, really good, particularly in the run up to Christmas. I think I got 20%/15%/10% up to a maximum of £100 spend off my first three deliveries with no delivery charge or commitment to sign up for further deliveries. There wasn't a time limit, IIRC, so it was a great way of restocking heavy store cupboard basics and stuff for the freezer.
    • Fair enough point, but does that not in a way make it even worse if they open a shop almost directly  opposite another "family" business selling exactly the same type of products?
    • As Occado source from Waitrose, and were their only deliverer at one stage, and as Waitrose do now deliver it may be they feel their reach in ED is sufficient to mean having a local outlet would not gain them sufficient additional sales to be cost effective. The movement to delivery rather than physical shopping during Covid has I believe substantially changed the grocery economics. So it may be that the High Street dynamic for physical shops has now changed. 
    • ..... thinking about the discussion about Chango.  Their "About us" blurb on the website says started by one Argentina guy.  So if one person has a successful business and goes on to open a number of shops when do they go from a supported successful "family" business to a less liked "chain"?
