My daughter is going to be 6 1/2 at Xmas. I have NO IDEA what to get her. She has requested a couple of small presents (Crayola Fashion creations - she's into making dresses etc.) but apart from that I am lost!


Ideas please - or even what you are getting your kids maybe will spark something...

Roller skates, CD player, camera, crafty stuff - french knitting etc, bike, - that's what ours had last year/this year (birthdays included!). Lovely thing we did for her birthday last year was gave her a CD player and asked family/friends to make her a compilation CD of their favourite music - introduced her to lots of music we don't necessarily listen too and also great for us to have a bit of a change as well! Prefer CD player to ipod etc as don't really want her plugged into headphones all the time! She often gets up in the morning and puts on a CD while playing/reading in her room, and only once or twice have we told her it's too loud - the fun one was when she turned Katy Perry up full volume "so she could hear it while she was in the loo" - explained again the function of the Pause button to her!

She has roller skates and a camera and a cd player (old one)... SHe has pretty much everything in my opinion. What she would really like is an iPad but she is not getting that (although she and her brother may inherit the old one)


she needs a new bike but best wait for her birthday in summer. And she could probably use a new scooter...

    • Hi  My internet connection has dropped out for several hours a couple of times since Sunday (15th Feb). I’m with Sky and the engineer has been and replaced the connection and then booked an Openreach engineer who checked the line but at the time it was working. He said there had been several issues in our road (Oakhurst Grove) but was now fixed but this morning I’ve woken up to no internet again. Just wondered if anyone else is having the same problems. 
    • Green Party policy on driver behaviour: Default 20mph Speed Limits: The party supports making 20 mph the default speed limit in all residential areas. 40mph Speed Limits: Proposing a default 40 mph speed limit in non-residential areas, excluding major roads. Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTNs): Promoting the expansion of LTNs to reduce "rat-running" in residential areas. Ending Internal Combustion Engine Sales: A target to end the sale of new petrol and diesel vehicles by 2030. Environmental Charging: Implementing a Carbon Tax on fossil fuels to increase the cost of petrol and diesel, incentivizing a shift to electric vehicles or public transport. Prioritizing Active Travel: Shifting funding from road building to walking, cycling, and public transport infrastructure, aiming for 50% of trips in towns and cities to be made by these methods by 2030. Improved Driver Training: Supporting "eco-driving" techniques to reduce emissions and fuel usage.  Some of which is good, some unrealistic, and on driver behaviour doesn't go far enough. Difficult to summarise the Lib Dems position as it is a bit wishy washy wanting to appeal to both the eco warrior and the NIMBY.  Sadly I know people who are both! Labour (nationally) said that local measures are a local issue, which was quite sensible, after Sunak;s we are going to end the war on motorists last stand, but don't like upsetting hard working motorists for example chickening out on fuel duty rises.
