...and do you live within striking distance of Warwick?

Hatton Farm Village (midlands equivalent of Willows Farm in Herts) is giving free visits to Santa to children with those names on Sat 29 Nov when their grotto thing opens. (Normal admission is £6.45)

By Lockets on Wed 12-Nov-08 19:32:53

grin

By tuesdayafternoon on Wed 12-Nov-08 19:35:17

Lockets, I was a bit hmm

that they didn't include Jesus!

I bet there are some out there...

By tuesdayafternoon on Wed 12-Nov-08 19:36:46

girlandboy, shame your Holly is too old (do you have a younger one who could pretend to be her?)

By girlandboy on Wed 12-Nov-08 19:54:05

tuesday - my Holly is 13! She's still under 14!!!

Mind you, she gave me a very old fashioned look when I showed her the website.

By tuesdayafternoon on Wed 12-Nov-08 19:59:05

Oh yes, sorry, gandb, I meant too old to want to go (under 14 seems like a high limit for a visit to Santa!)

By girlandboy on Wed 12-Nov-08 20:06:06

I know what you mean - that's why she raised her eyebrows at me, and sighed!

By psychomum5 on Wed 12-Nov-08 20:09:50

I have a holly too

, and she is 12!

sadly tho we are too far away to make use of the deal.....they need to extend the idea to other places...

By Marne on Wed 12-Nov-08 20:11:09

I have a Holly but we live to far away sad

Someone asked me today if she was born near christmas, she looked a bit shocked when i told her she was born in Feb grin

By DodgyApostrophe on Wed 12-Nov-08 20:13:05

Excellent... I've been wondering where to take Jesus.

By thisisyesterday on Wed 12-Nov-08 20:16:19

I know Holly born in July! lol

By stuffitllama on Wed 12-Nov-08 20:16:43

I'll be there too with Balthazar and his sister Clementine.

By psychomum5 on Wed 12-Nov-08 20:17:15

marne, my holly is a feb baby too

By psychomum5 on Wed 12-Nov-08 20:18:30

I do have a december baby tho, she is called Natasha, which is a russian name meaning birth of christ, so is in fact a christmas name anyway

By MissClavel on Wed 12-Nov-08 20:21:44

I have a 7-year-old Gabriel who would love it. Sadly I don't think he (or we) would love it quite enough to make the 12 hour round trip.

By Grublin on Wed 12-Nov-08 20:24:43

I have a Joseph who's 2.3, but we're too far away

By Califrau on Wed 12-Nov-08 20:25:23

fab idea for my Joseph but it's 5000 miles away!

By ohdearwhatamess on Thu 13-Nov-08 16:57:14

I've got one of those but we're a bit too far away.

Great idea though.

Message

Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,

, type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,

, type [grin] or :o
For a wink,

, type [wink]
For a shocked face,

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
