I am going to be popular at Christmas

When my eldest was born, he was given a cuddly toy which soon became 1. very popular and 2. discontinued. I managed to buy a replacement, but then it wasn't the same, they have different stuffing and so one has a bigger head and is known as Big Mr Horse and he of the smaller head and slightly less washed out is Little Mr Horse. Both are zebras, by the way.

Big Mr H is now almost 7 and has been sewn up along the hems and is almost see through in places. For months now I have been looking at doll hospitals and re-covering/stuffing him, but also looking on ebay.... and eventually one came up. Not identical, oh no, he is EIGHTY of our British centimetres BIG! I also won a replacement for my daughter's tiger (thank you Goofbay).

So she and I went off to collect them, and when we got there the lady had also got another Ordinary Mr Horse and wished to sell it to me!

Now I have 83 sleeps to think of how I can deliver Huge Mr Horse and New Mr Horse on Christmas Day with maximum impact :o
