wants list
I've been asked (mainly by relatives) what I'd like (and what I'd rather not
get) for gifts (birthday, Christmas, etc.)! I've tried where possible to give
the best online source for ordering - usually significantly cheaper than the
High Street.

(tel: 01255 860041) for good prices and quick service. I also use The
Highwaymen and Go kites.
* HQ Hoffmanns

See www.find-dvd.co.uk for the best prices.

play all the games I do have, but there are some great new games out there...
