v pleased as brainwaves are few and far between!

You can also use them to play "Badge Man/Woman" - a game for all the family.

Hold chosen roll/tube to your eye. Look at someone else through the tube and they instantly become a badge man/woman!

Fun for whole minutes!

For some strange reason at this time of year I think of making candles with the cardboard rolls and a nice bit of cotton wool and red paint!

They get confiscated in ouur house if they are used for wands/ swords /light savers... etc. The baby ALWAYs gets hurt and the 4 yr old always manages to break somethign. I blame OH he encourages them.
Yes I am a bah-humbug but I quite like my children without injurues and my (few) ornaments intact!
