Maybe too much of a good thing

The children at school held a cake sale so I could take some toys over to Cape Town with me. Great cakes and all sold out, although the vague idea of making it a maths lesson went belly up early on. Had planned all cakes at 10p so my 6 and 7 year olds could work out that 2 at 10p were 20p and anyone giving 50p would meed 30p change and so on. This went well until a parent, who has baked professionally bought in some amazing cupcakes. An insult to charge 10p. Another produced an amazing sponge. Uncut.No knife. Ended up hurtling up and down behind table squealing, "Just take the money and let them choose" and " For goodness sake, two lots of 10p is 20 and if you don't know that by now Mr. H( next teacher) is gonna kill me". Had to locate knife to cut sponge, so given that this tirade was accompanied by the mad waving of a super size carving knife it was probably just as well Inspectors/ "Elf and safety" folk were nowhere to be seen. Next time(yeah, right) will be guess number of jelly beans in jar!
So, cash in hand, a happy hour was spent on the internet ordering toys. Got a bit carried away. Have just taken delivery of three fuzzy felts(hands up who remembers fuzzy felts), including one "On Safari". Hope lurid pink giraffes and green lions as per box will be acceptable. Also card games..Snap should be failry doable, but maybe slipped up when ordered"Happy families". Tact was never my strong point. Four sets of finger puppets ( does anyone know Afrikaans for "Trip, trap, went the Biggest Billy Goat Gruff") and a game of animal lottlo. At least half of the pictures on the cards feature African animals that would happily eat one in their native environment given half the chance.
Now all I have to do is find room for them in parachute style rucksack.
