Hi,

Anyone know where I can get one of those (smallish) outdoor trampolines with a net around for kids to wear out the boy?

... and how much, they are only 100quid in Argos...

I have seen so many of those things in gardens in the UK and my kids have played/jumped/somersaulted on a few of them and I too have thought,

"where can I get one apart from Argos?"

At least Amazon UK now delivers (most things) to Italy and for pretty cheap shipping too. Never ever seen one here though so if we are the first, I know I'll have all the village kids coming round asking if they can have a go. It was the same when we got Swingball.

Some great trampolines out there though.

We got a travelling kind of Swingball and took it down to the river one day. We filled up the carrying case that turns into the solid base with wet sand and off we went.

OH challenged me. I don't think I ever told him that at an all girls grammar school we played lots of sport including tennis. He thought he could trash me and lost and then turned it into 'best out of three'.

He still lost but I didn't admit that my shoulder muscles killed me for days afterwards. Great game though.

Foiled again. I'm only after the springs so that I can hang the bed from the ceiling.
