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!

    • So it's for tourists and others actually staying in Southwark? So a person living and working  in England but staying in a hotel in  Southwark for work purposes (say) would have to pay this tax (or their employer would)? But a tourist from France (say),  staying in a hotel outside Southwark but visiting all the Southwark "tourist attractions" wouldn't?
    • Whilst I agree with you, Nigello, your first paragraph doesn't make it clear that you are quoting Beansprout?
    • John Marx fitted a Howdens Kitchen for me in April this year. He and his partner Gabi provided great support and service throughout the refit. They are a pleasure to work with and they made the whole process as smooth as possible.  John is trustworthy and reliable and takes great pride in his work. He is also an excellent problem solver - nothing fazes him.  He was also happy to come back for any snagging issues once the work was completed.  I am delighted with my new kitchen and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.  His email is [email protected]
