Toys R Us Disney Princess Kitchen

Hello hello :)

So the Disney princess kitchen that I ordered came, I opened my front door full of anticipation and... crash! The delivery driver dropped the parcel on the floor and the moment it happened I knew something was going to be broken - and it was :(

Absolutely gutted, I called the helpline number on the delivery note.  They were very polite and apologetic and said that someone would be round to collect the broken  item on wednesday between... 8AM AND 8PM. I wasn't happy but hey, needed to be replaced.  Wednesday came, a lovely sunny day, and I was stuck in waiting for the toy to be picked up. When 8.30pm came I realised that they were not going to show. Completely furious I arranged for someone to take me to one of their stores the following morning and exchange it in store, which they did. Again, the customer service assistant was very polite and apologetic. In my opinion toys r us need a new delivery company! Don't order online guys, go in store.

As for the kitchen itself, it is absolutely lovely! Lots of little details, the sound effects are brilliant, love that it comes with mrs potts! Only negative point is that it was fiddly to put together.



Has anyone else experienced any similar problems with toys r us online?

Toodle loo!

A sprinkle of degree determination!

Hey bloggettes :)

I have been silent for a while, enjoying the gorgeous sunny weather and getting out and about with my little one.

I wanted to share a fantastic buy with you all, this little £3 water sprinkler - the kids absolutely love it it's so cheap but has been so much fun that even I have played with it! It's available from most Tesco stores or from Tesco direct online. It just attaches to a standard garden hose very easily and you can vary the height of the fountain it produces by changing your hose pipe flow, absolutely fab!


 Another reason I have been a busy little bumble is because I have finally done enough research to discover that studying from home part-time towards a degree will not affect me badly financially and so I've sent off my applications! Hoping to transfer my university credit from a BA Primary Education first year course which I passed. Just waiting to hear back on my applications! I've applied to the Open University. Wish me luck :)

Toodles! x
