I will not ever NEVER stop watching Charlie and Lola

Look what I got for Christmas!!! Since I started living on my own, I've got into the habit of watching Charlie and Lola on CBeebies at teatime, and I love it to pieces, so my Mum bought me a C&L plate to eat my dinner off!

There's an exhibition of the wonderful author and illustrator Lauren Child's work touring UK museums currently. Green Drops and Moonsquirters: The Utterly Imaginative World of Lauren Child has been at Manchester Art Gallery (check out their minisite for the exhibition) and will be at Sheffield's Weston Park Museum until 15 February 2009. I'm hoping it will come down south at some point but I can't find any info about where it will go next.

Sadly it's eleven months till my birthday, but I will completely definitely be asking for the Charlie and Lola playhouse set and a pair of Charlie and Lola Poseable Talking Dolls!
