How much play-doh is too much play-doh?

3 week stay in the Philippines. Me, plus one granny, plus one toddler, minus one dad. Packed, unpacked, re packed. Gone from 3 pots of play-doh to 1.

Major Dilemma: should I take the Tunki?
Pros: A. everyone on amazon says its ace, a toddler travel must have.
B. Everyone will think Theo is super cute (but will it go down well in Saudi Arabia?)
C. It may stop me from losing the plot/ entertain Theo endlessly in our 6 hour stop over in Jeddah airport.

Cons. A. Its unwieldy. B. I don't have enough hands to carry it. C. I may look like a smug annoying middle class Mum, and be involuntarily compelled to shout ' Theodore, darling have you got your ttrrruunkii??'

So the Trunki has to go. And the flood disaster in the southern philippines puts things into perspective. Final farewells have been said and we set forth for London. Theo ecstatic after doing his first poo on the toilet. We're on a roll and we're on a high...
