I remember one picture of the frog scoffing something from a gold fork and I always loved that picture and wanted a gold fork one day. Got my wish last year, when we bought new gold (coloured, not solid!) cutlery. <br /><br />Funny how such small things really stick far back in the mind. <br /><br />I saw some new ladybird books just before Christmas. comedy ones. How it works - The Husband and the same about 'the wife'. I had a look through, giggled here and there, but no, didn't buy them.
