Are you planning on getting a plane too or just the cars?


I'm thinking just the cars. The aeroplanes are great and if the "right one, at the right price" comes along, then.......

But not today. I'm in the dog house today with one of my boys. The fridge broke and I've been out and got a new one. Now as far as I'm concerned, a fridge, is a fridge, is a fridge.

Unfortunately, I was asked how much the new fridge cost and my son finds it hard be believe that I am happy to pay more for a toy steam car than I am for a fridge, which as far as he is concerned is a must have item. This is a boy who lives on cold beer and micro meals (it's his age). It seems the new fridge is to basic, plain and just doesn't do anything special. And......

Oh, he has much to learn.

If he complains just give him an esky with some snow in it and tell here 'thats the fridge until summer'  

I've got two fridges but it gets a lot hotter here so we need to have cold water in the fridge, atleast 6 litres of milk at any given time for my boys and things that don't really need to be in the fridge like sauce are kept in there else ants will find them.
