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

It gets too cold might be asking for trouble given that dd already has an

Ice fetish and is forever rooting in the freezer


Settled on a baby Chou Chou which I think has a soft body which I like

Not opened it yet too look closely


I really like the Hama dolls too ... Birthday maybe

      Up the reform

      By Sephiroth · Posted

      Precisely DR it’s entirely understandable to conclude one is so disillusioned by Labour for Tories, it must be time for someone else  That  is an entirely reasonable position But if the next step is to then transfer your vote to a party full of charlatans, snake oil salespeople and racists? Then  you stop being reasonable and start being thick and/or racist i understood why Tories took power in 2010. I feared it was an error but I wasn’t castigating people who voted for them tories (then, not now) and Labour are hamstrung not by civil service or EU but by a weird media and a weird voting system in an age of social media.  The answers don’t seem to be coming from them yet but voting reform will only damage the country internationally and internally  the Tories may yet regain power but are currently led by a madwoman, with a madman positioning himself to take over. Will take years for them to sort themselves out labour are making errors all over the shop but are at least in the ballpark of sane governanc.  In no way should this give them a free pass but in 2025 there genuinely isn’t anyone better  (and current polling for reform is meaningless - in any general election be it 4 years or 4 months their lack of accountability and standards will become all too clear)

      Cox's Walk new bridge damaged!

      > Or else it's a relatively thin trunk? Or a rather thick old trunk, covered in leaf growth?  Look at the damage caused to the end and right hand railings.  NewWave, any chance  of loading your neighbour's photo here?   Or anyone else with some good focused photos, from various viewpoints if possible?

      East Dulwich Hospital Maternity Ward/s?

      By Cindy hibbert · Posted

      I had a breech birth baby in 1984 in faraday ward. I had a male midwife deliver my baby. Does anyone remember him?
