Ha - best title for a thread in the family room ever????


OK - so my 4 year old has this Beauty and the Beast Playset - sort of Polly Pocket sized, with a prince who 'transforms into a beast' by putting a different head & body over the top of him.


The problem is that 1 of the princes legs has broken off and the other day she said "I don't want to have a 1 legged prince Mummy" which made my heart ache.


So I thought, here is a good thing for Santa to put in her stocking & went on Ebay and thought I was so clever to manage to buy a second hand set of the same toy, with a new prince in it. Except in my rush I didn't read the description properly...and the new prince only has 1 arm. ARRGGGHHHH.


I am a Mummy failure. It's official.


It seems you can only buy these playsets new in America, and P&P is insane from there.


I don't suppose anyone, magically has one of these Princes hanging around that they no longer want? Ideally one with

all his limbs intact? It's a long shot...but hey, I'm a desperate woman. Don't we all want a Prince?


She did tell me the other day that one day she was going to marry a beast. I do hope not!


Yours, desperately.

OK - at the risk of making the prince into some sort of Frankenstein; is limb transplanation an option? I don't have a clue what these toys are but if you have one missing an arm and one missing a leg could you do some minor surgery thus creating a whole one?

I have PMed you another possible solution.

Oh no. Love the frankenstein response, had thought of that too! Hs disney store stopped selling them?


We have a hideous plastic barbie horse that had a long mane and tail, got totally knotted, was a ball of sticky fibres, so back in the summer I gave it a haircut. 4yo daughter wept and wailed. The other week she found it in the back of a cupboard (had hidden it as was fed up with the complaints and sad eyes) and got upset again.


Had taken the line that we don't chuck stuff out just cos it's not perfect anymore, but caved in and ordered a new horse for xmas.


The new one has arrived and turns out has no bloody hair! It has plastic moulding smooth mane and solid tail. She will not be at all impressed!

    • If you look in the Gala thread someone posted a map of the event site, which has larger footprint than before. The build has already started and will now continue until the event. Dismantling is due to end 1st June, I think.
    • I have been involved with our local Residents' Association and also the East Dulwich Community Centre since the early 1980s. Both organisations initially had good attendance and representation from the local community but over the past few years so called 'community minded people' are more interested in social media/WhatsApp Groups and discussing things on line rather than meeting in person. The EDF is a very good source of local knowledge and I use it frequently for various reasons but it is no substitute for person to person engagement. I also help out at an over 55 age group which meets weekly for 2 hours and it is noticeable that the majority of attendees are those who frequently use social media sites, but have come to the conclusion that face to face contact is essential for their well being.  There are organisations in ED which put on social events, most are family friendly. for free or low cost where neighbours/friends can meet up - you do not need additional green spaces for this to happen.
    • Hello, i am looking to join or set up a shared woodworking workshop in south London. So i am looking for either a space, or other woodworkers to get going,
    • En Root, 'plant powered Indian fusion' - description is more pretentious than this small chain, is wonderful.  Cheap and relatively cheerful.  Not sure if it has been reviewed by the Times @Eats Dulwich have you visited? https://enrootldn.co.uk/ Urbanspoon used to be a great place for reviews of cafes ('greasy spoons') but apparently not so good since it was taken over by Zomato Best Spoons in the area is Parkside Cafe on Forest Hill Road, from Uber Eats: Parkside Cafe, positioned in the charming area of East Dulwich in London, specialises in hearty breakfast and brunch offerings. It holds an impressive customer rating of 5.0, reflecting its popularity, particularly in the mornings. The cafe features a menu replete with traditional breakfast fares such as rolls (including varieties like Bacon and Egg Roll, Sausage Roll), burgers (such as the Chicken Fillet Burger and Cheese Burger), and a selection of sandwiches and baguettes. Popular items among patrons include Beans, Chips, Two Crusty Slices, and a Latte, with the Bacon and Egg Sandwich and Chicken Fillet Burger frequently ordered together. Surely AI is now starting to take over on restaurant reviews!
