Not quite what you asked Blottie but the most unusual present we ever had to buy was for Declan when he was 4 or 5 years old - he wrote his letter to Santa and the only thing he asked for was a ladder!!! We asked him why he wanted a ladder and he said it was to help Daddy do 'jobs'! We thought he'd forget about it once the toy adverts kicked in on the TV but no.... so Christmas Eve Dave had to whizz out to B&Q and buy a little stepladder

I bought hubby a ladder this year!![msneek] It is about 4 ft tall but it is telescopic and will extend to reach the second floor of the house. It is an ingenious design and though it was a surprise he is really quite pleased with it[msnsmile2]

Liz that's a wonderful idea for hubby's next year Christmas present, because one of these days he is going to fall off the one we have! I won't even go up it!

Could I ask where you got it from please?

How about Llama treking on Dartmoor? Hubby bought it for me for our wedding anniversary this coming weekend.

We went to take a look last week and where we are staying they described as a cottage, I would call it a chalet and Pete says it's a garden shed. I just hope the weather warms up, it was -3 while we were there.

They came from my other online obsession.....QVC[msnwink]

They are called telesteps and I have to say they have already proved invaluable taking down the Christmas decorations and lights and storing them in the loft.

I wish I had seen them years ago, I might have got a lot more DIY done

You can buy them in the diy stores as well. They are probably cheaper in Florida
