Well independence is big deal for 11-12. So are there missions you can construct for them? Choose a recipe, shop and cook for it on their own and feed the family? Cinema/swimming on their own? Give them a budget to go off and buy some books/toys on their own?


Chessington big hit with my daughter at the moment. We have passes and she seems just the right age for the bigger rides.


Check peckham pulse and the summer scheme at Harris fitnEss.

Well I don't know if this would appeal to you daughter but we took our one for a pastry at Maison Beateaux in Soho. Whilst there we chatted to Tanya the owner. She told us that she also doubles up as the (art dealer) agent for Noel Fiedling!


The upstairs and basement are currently exhibiting his work which has a Bryan Ferry focus! It didn't cost a penny to look and she happily put on a video which he had also created. Our daughter was memarised and all it cost us was the price of a pastry!

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
