Connects with the Big City Carry Along City, and Big City Spiral Race Ramp for even more fun.

A 70's child, I’ve been married for a Very Long Time, and appear to have made four children, and collected one large and useless dog along the way. I work, I have four children, I have a dog… ergo, I do not do dusting or ironing. I began LittleStuff back in (gulp) 2004. I like huge mugs of tea. And Coffee. And Cake. And a steaming cone of crispy fresh fluffy chips, smothered in salt and vinegar. #healthyeater When I grow up I am going to be quietly graceful, organised and wear lipstick every day. In the meantime I *may* have a slight butterfly-brain issue.

  200. Because crackers didn’t have the right amount in a pack for our family my mum came up with an idea of bags instead of crackers a few years ago. Each family member takes it in turn to do them, putting whatever we want in them. Mum made the bags from red felt and embroidered our initials on them, and it’s a highlight of Christmas day every year.
