Happy Families

This may sound a bit daft but i need your help guys. During the flight to Florida i am planning to take plenty of card games to keep the boys happy. We have 'Snap' and some more travel games. But what i really want to get is set of 'Happy Families'. I spent hours playing this as a child and i know my boys will love it. The pack my mum has has now disintegrated. However, i have hunted high and low around Chippenham, Bath,Swindon and other nearby towns to no avail so now i need your help. If you find or know where i can get a pack from let me know. One shopkeeper i asked thought that they had been discontinued in the theme of political correctness.[grin][grin]Lol

I have seen them in our local pound shop too.[msnsmile2]

I got some from the Early Learning Centre in Swindon at Xmas

A few styles to choose from here

Marks and Spencer has them as well. we got a set of 3 from here.

Fantastic advice i will be surfing around later. Tried E.L.C but did not see them when i went shopping.[msncool]

Just found some on Amazon after i searched the sites you all gave me. Exactly what i want. Something else to keep the boyz occupied during the flight. Thank you everybody.[sporty][sporty][sporty][clap]lol

went into the local co-op today found seperate packs of cards happy families, snap, old maid, and donkey, all were 99p each pack! in the toy department, also i noticed in the poundwise shop they had magnetic draughts and chess if any use to you along with some others i forgot.

I have succeeded in getting Happy Families. I got them from Amazon. They are very trendy, with lots of new families with brilliant names. But we still have Mr Bun the Baker. Some things never change. So far for entertainment we have Snap, Happy Families, 2 packs of Top Trumps,and travel connect 4.[msncool]Plus the seat back entertainment from Virgin and colouring. Hopefully there will be loads to keep them entertained.[8D]

should be plenty then!!
