Ok, so we succumbed and bought DS some Lego....while on hols....which we now have to lug back on a train and two buses, along with everything else

Hadn't read the suggestions on here, but we ended up getting the 600pc red cube, a square mat, a Creator plane, a med Bricks and More set, another small plane kit....oh, and maybe another set or two as well! Myer had 20% off Lego, and a buy one, get 50% off the second deal too, so it cost less than $90 all up DS has the small plane kit, mat and red cube already, but the rest will be for 'later'. Aiming to keep them for Chrissy, but not sure if that's too ambitious, lol! If we hold out til next week I think we'll be doing well....

DH wants the Opera House...I've told him to keep dreaming

On a positive note, DS was being a difficult little so and so last night - I told him if he didn't behave I'd take the Lego away til we got home....behaviour fixed immediately I think we've found DS' 'currency'...
