They shouldn't have bring and buy sales so close to Christmas!

The day started great. The kids were excited. A non uniform day and taking old toys in for the bring and buy sale.We went to pick them up expecting them to come out with something old and tatty! Noooo!! 


Becky had bought her sister a present. She was so proud of herself and was sure Ellie would love it. She whipped the surprise out of her bag. It was BUZZ 'bliddy' LIGHTYEAR!! 

The same one I'd spent weeks umming and ahhhing about buying Ellie for Christmas. Yes Becky had bought her sister Ellie the same toy as we had bought her as her main Christmas present!! 

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

When we had a look at it, it seemed it didn't work. We thought phew! It wasn't lighting up or talking. We had been saved. Nope, 2 minutes of fiddling from Ellie and she had it working!

For now she can have Buzz her loving sister bought her and the other at Christmas.

I'm a bit sad. It has taken some of the magic away from Christmas morning. Ellie has wanted a Buzz Lightyear for so long.

It has made her day! Just a shame it wasn't Christmas day! Becky is the best big sister ever!!

  7. So is there a second instalment to this story? I want to know if the second buzz was well received or even gifted. How rewarding and frustrating for you!
