Amazon are selling this Timmy Time DVD box set of all the episodes in series 1 to 5 for £11.97 - all the other usual suspects are selling it for between £17 and £25, so it's a bit of a steal over at Amazon.

I was thinking the other day how Timmy Time deals have been a bit thin on the ground lately and then, TA DAAA, this Timmy Time DVD box set pops up; perhaps I should think about how I haven't won the lottery jackpot lately too and see if the same principle applies!

I loved watching Timmy Time with my youngest when he was small - well, smallER, he's still only five - he used to giggle away watching Timmy getting up to mischief with his friends.

If you don't know who Timmy is, let me explain...

Timmy  is the baby cousin of Shaun the Sheep, of Wallace and Grommit fame; he’s very funny, very cute and very cheeky.

There are 350 minutes of fabulous Timmy Time entertainment to be had watching this Timmy Time DVD box set; I wouldn't recommend watching them all back to back, I know I said Timmy Time was great to watch but even this might be a bit much.

All the usual Amazon delivery options apply.

Did you think that Airfix had gone to the great toy heaven in the sky? I know I did so it came as quite a surprise to find that this isn't actually the case. One reader over at HUKD, Mellow Yellow, found this kit. It’s the Land Rover from CBeebies show, Shaun the Sheep. The recommended retail price is £24.99, and Play.com are selling it for £9.99.

Now my stepson is all grown up, but he spent many weekends as a kid making these kits. Even ten years ago, a shade under a tenner was a good price for Airfix so I’d be well pleased with this. Along with the Land Rover you get Shaun the Sheep, Timmy and the naughty pigs. There isn’t a lot of info about the kit at the Play.com site. Airfix appear to have stopped selling it online, although the box can still be seen illustrating the TV themed section. A google search did throw up the Assembly and Painting instructions if you want to find out more.   It all looks hideously complicated – which personally excites me! Definitely not one for the littler children, but a good idea for keeping pre-pubescent offspring occupied during the half term, especially if it rains.
