Monday morning meetup?

[Fuschia]

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?

am free and could do either as well, sandpit is closer but I am HUGE so less running around after bub #1 would be nice.

1 vote for one o'clock club!

My in-laws are visiting at the moment, and I'm going to try and encourage them towards the 1 o'clock club in the morning to get them out of my hair :)

Let's say one o'c club then. I forget what time it opens, but the gate is open while they're setting up anyway isn't it

[Fuschia]

I will prob be on my grey blanket beside the tree beside the covered sandpit on the gate side

Is open 10-12

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!
