OK disers - here's the other photo I promised.
A few years back (about 14 actually), we started collected the Chilly cuddly toys from Tesco. They originally had the year on the paw / foot but they stopped doing that. The original "Chilly" was a snowman but as the years went on, they extended the range to include "Pip" the pony, "Emily" the rag-doll, "Scamp" the Scottie-dog, "Podge" the Polar bear, "Bertie" the brown bear, "Chester" the cat, "Rudy" the reindeer and "Penny" the penguin to name but a few.
However, all good things come to an end and in the last few years, Tesco have changed the range so it is now much smaller and personally, I would suggest, of a poorer quality.
Anyway, this year my wife Helen, suggested getting some of the Chilly's out and on display for Christmas. Imagine our absolute shock when we realised how much our Chilly collection had grown to - it now comprises of over 40 toys of all sizes from the Tesco Chilly range.
They are all in excellent condition and we love them to bits. We will put some of them on the stairs so that there is a toy on each step. The others will just be on display around the house.
Hope you like them!
