YOU were quite right to say the Teletubbies were in demand on last week's front page.

My kids are crazy about the Teletubbies and haven't let up about getting the toys ever since they saw them in a magazine last month.

So, in a bid for a quiet life, I decided to try and hunt down one of the teletubbies. Talk about searching for a needle in a haystack. After scores of phone calls, I finally found out Toys R Us were getting some stock in last Saturday.

I got up very early and went down to the store for 8.30. There were already more than 60 cars parked there and when I finally got to the front of the queue only to find that Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa and Po had sold out.

The thing is, I don't where I can get them now and I've got two little children who are driving me mad about the teletubbies.

Please help.
