I am torn between the sandpit (benefit: close enough to walk) and the one o'c club (benefit, I can be lazy as twins less prone to running off or climbing to the top of the helicopter)


Child no 1 is out for the day with his godmother. What do people any think? Who's free and what do you fancy?

Hope you all had a nice time, here's how our morning went...


9.30am I suggested to my in-laws that they take the kids to the 1 o'clock club. Yes, good idea, we'll do that. I tell them it's open at 10am. Yep, great. MIL then disappears into the bathroom, reappearing just after 10am. Makes cup of coffee. Drinks coffee, makes another cup of coffee. FIL goes upstairs to brush his teeth, reappears sometime round 10.30am. Makes cup of tea. 10 minutes spent in the back garden looking up at the sky speculating on the likelihood of rain, another 10 minutes spent unpacking their suitcase to find umbrellas/raincoats.


11am I finally shoehorned them out the door, and was asked what time they needed to be back. I said around 12/12.30ish would be when they need some lunch. Darling MIL replies with "oh, that doesn't give us much time to play in the park with the children, don't you think you are being a bit unreasonable?".


I honestly think I deserve an award for managing to bite my tongue and not launch into a full on attack!


On the plus side, they are gone now!

    • Real shame they went under. We have a rectangular table (that we are keeping) which is great. I would set some ebay search alerts if you haven't done so already.
    • Hello my name is Kat and I’m currently studying Solution Focused Clinical Hypnotherapy with CPHT London, and I’m offering free online hypnotherapy sessions as part of my professional training.  This is a safe, modern, and well-researched approach that helps people break free from the negative cycles of anxiety, low mood, and stress, and move toward calm, confidence, and lasting positive change. I’m studying CPHT’s accredited training, led by experienced, practising hypnotherapists, which is widely recognised as the UK's gold standard in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy. Over my training, I’ve already seen great results, and I’m now looking for volunteers who may benefit from support with 🌿 Anxiety and low mood (including stress, sleep issues, or IBS) What’s included: 💫 A full course of free weekly sessions (typically 8–12 weeks) 💫 Insight into how your brain works, and how to work with it 💫 Practical tools to feel calmer, more confident, and in control What’s required: ✔️ Commitment to weekly sessions ✔️ A stable internet connection for online sessions I have an enhanced DBS check and am a student member of the National Council for Hypnotherapy and the Association for Solution Focussed Hypnotherapy. If you’d like to take part or have any questions, please send me a direct message to book an initial consultation. I’d love to hear from you Warmest Kat
    • If this is approved BT will probably apply to remove the phone box. These cost far more than they earn and are very vulnerable to vandelism. The old phone boxes are not ideal to become WiFi hubs, and will need the same level of engineering work to convert (they will be connected over copper). And they don't offer the advertising opportunity which pays for the free WiFi. 
    • They're big and ugly electronic advertising boards. There's a shagged out phone box across the road that could do the same thing!
