M has a selection of dolls (provided by grandparents who seem hell bent on getting her to play with girls toys rather than cars... ). She generally seems more interested in the ones that don't do anything, and I prefer them too as it leaves them free to use their imagination more.


Generally as long as they have clothes she can take off, and some kind of pretend nappy she seems happy. We've turned off the sounds/sucking/weeing functionality on most of them!

We seem to have acquired a rediculous number of dolls with all range of skills - noises, illness, feeding. The one think I have drawn a line at is pooing - I refuse to pay rediculous prices for 'baby' nappies (I know I could do something else but I just know I won't have the patience!).


Of all the ones that do something, I do think Annabel is the best - it gives a bit of interaction but nothing too wild (never have managed to get it to cry real tears). But my youngest is equally happy with a cheap version that only does really basic noises but is much lighter to carry. My eldest will just as often branch off into little tiny dolls or ones with longer hair or.....


Whatever you get them, it's theirs and they'll love it - or they'll ignore it but that's down to them, not the doll and they'll come back to it at some point. Yes at times they'll see someone else with another one and want that one too but that'll happen whatever you buy!

Thanks everybody

Had to decide today as Argos had a 3 for 2 offer


But their bSby annabel

Is version 6 (who knew dolls had upgrades?!) which gets bad reviews


Decided feeding baby born with face that changes colour when

Ice fetish and is forever rooting in the freezer

    • Argentinian restaurant coming to the old gods gift unit 
    • I would love something like this if you could get it to work financially. I still miss the market on Zenoria. I bought all sorts there; furniture, clothes, pictures… No oysters though. 
    • It was a weird place, and there never seemed to be many people in it. Stalls/selling areas (they  weren't really stalls as such) came and went. For a while there was an area upstairs as well. Around the beginning of ED  gentrification,  someone opened a champagne bar near the entrance. I think it also sold oysters, though there was another oyster place in the market, possibly not at the same time. Whether it did or not, unsurprisingly it didn't last long. I can't imagine they had done any market research, or even wondered why anybody would want to drink champagne in that kind of environment. I'm not sure an indoor market would work now, but what do I know. It would depend on what it sold and whether people wanted what it sold, I suppose. It wouldn't get much passing trade in Zenoria Street, so it would have to be very well advertised.
    • Guacamoles in Rye Lane market for pretty authentic Tacos  Ganapati on Holly Grove has some of the best south Indian  food in London - light, aromatic fresh, home style cooking - lovely location and people too.
