We often see things in shops priced at £99.99, £199.99, etc?

CDA

Today I saw, in a garden centre, an outdoor table plus 6 chairs priced at £999.99 (I am NOT kidding).
Can anyone go better than this, with 6 nines in the listed price, (or dollars too - $9999.99)? Car, boat, caravan, etc? Anyone seen such a price? How moronic can this nine-obsession get?

Answer
It would be better if there were 9 chairs

What kind of outdoor toys do you have for your 1-2 year old?

N and A's

We have a fenced in backyard and Noah will be 1 in April so I'm sure he'll be out and about back there often this summer. I'm stuck on what sorts of toys to get for him. I've been looking on Craigslist for a slide/climber of some sort and have found some cute ones.

People have asked what to get him for his birthday and I'd like to give them some ideas. Trucks and balls have already been thought of. What does your little one play with outside?
LOL, Alia's mom, I can so see Noah doing this too.... It's going to be a long summer of "Noah, don't eat that!"

I forgot a pool, duh! Thanks ladies.

Answer
What about a sand box, my son loved to drive his trucks in the sand. Sand toys.
Water table, they are great!
Swing, slide, which you already mentioned. You can put the slide in the pool, thats fun. Toys for the pool.
Sidewalk chalk
bubble machine. big hit!
Bouncy house, big hit here. they arent that expensive,$100-200 but worth it and will last for years if you take care of it.
Little tykes baseball tee. by summer he will be able to hit the ball, if not already.
A ride on toy, you could get a small motorized one, my son had a 4 wheller, it is a perfect size for a 1-2 year old.
If you are planning on staying in the home you live in now for a while, a nice wooden swingset is a fantastic investment, worth every penny, but expensive.
One of the plastic houses, we got ours like 4th hand, it is old and still looks new. I would buy one second hand. my sil got one on Craigslist for $25.
Gardening tools, Water can!..my kids love to water...anything.
A tent. my daughter has a girraffe tent, we use it inside and outside.
Small chair for outside, with a table or a picnic table for lunch and snacks, coloring, painting and messy stuff.
A shed to keep everything in...lol.
Oops! the #1 favorite outdoor toy of my sons was his bubble lawn mower. he used it for 3 years. we would bring it everywhere, he liked to mow everyones lawn..kept him busy for a long time.

What are non medicinal options for treating ADD?

outdoor tables and chairs for kids image

..........

We just had a parent teacher conference and the teacher said that our 6 year old son shows signs of ADD.
We'll be taking him to the Dr. for an official diagnosis, but would like to keep medicines like concerta, riddilin, etc. as a last resort if non-medicinal options don't work.
He doesn't display signs of ADHD...he's not hyper, just can't focus and is very easily distracted. The teacher's assistant pretty much has to stand over him to get his work completed.

Answer
1) Minimize how much sugar and caffeine, especially soda, that he has.
2) Make sure that he has adequate "play" time - let him run around at the park, sign him up for soccer or some other active sport.
3) Set a schedule and stick to it as much as possible, including meals, bedtime, "rise and shine" time, study time.
4) Create a quiet and specific place for him to sit down and study. desk, table, chair, light, etc, just for him, just for studying. even at 6 he can use the desk to do reading and other "homework."

"Signs of ADD" covers a whole lot of things, including just that you have a rambuncious boy who doesn't neatly toe the line for the teacher. We used to call it "being all boy." Kids don't get enoughplaytime and outdoor time these days and that energy has to come out some how.

What are some fun ideas to go on a date with my boyfriend ?

Las Vegas

Besides parties, which is all we do. Some alone time, or time away from the croud. Typical ideas are movie and dinner but I wanna keep it, interesting.

Answer
- A picnic! If the weather is nice enough, that is. You could try an indoor picnic, too, I guess, but outdoor would be better.
- Bake something together, like cookies! You get to spend time together doing something fun, plus at the end, you get delicious food to share!
- Play some sort of two person sport together, like tennis or table hockey.
- Go for a hike together.
- Build a fort out of blankets and chairs like you did when you were a kid!

That's all I can think of. Hope it helps!
