......can anyone suggest something fun for 11/12 yr old girls? I have my step-daughter and her cousin and have completely run out of things to do. Any suggestions gratefully received. Thanks.

Have a 12 yr old of my own......what kind of ideas you looking for?

the pottery place where you paint it and they bake it and you collect a few days later will while away half a day, and very popular.

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!
