Save money at Christmas

12/08/2008 4:45 AM

Mrs Cat wants one of those iphones for Christmas.

I'm going to cut out a photo of one from a glossy magazine advert and laminate it .

Do you think that will do the job?

For added verisimilitude, find one of those appalling Christmas cards that plays tunes, cut out the noisy bit & stick it to the back of your DIY iphone.

Should do the biz.

Yes. And, she'll cut out a picture of a nice holiday meal, laminate it, and place it on the table!

I told Mrs Cat what you said and I saw a light bulb light up over her head.

Imagine receiving a laminated picture of a Christmas dinner on your plate.

I think Mrs. Cat might be posting the next Learning Experience in one picture!

However, the iPhone is definitely a cool toy. She might let you borrow it occasionally...

No problem.

Print this one out big ...

... then cut it out & paste it to an empty cereal box, cover with clear sticky-backed plastic, & enjoy.
