Just want to canvas opinion/experience on sandpits for the garden...I really like the look of the more fixed, wooden type (although not so keen on the bit where I have to put it together) - but they're quite expensive and thus if my little boy isn't wildly keen it's an expensive mistake. The plastic type are cheaper with built in lid etc but seem quite small? anyone have any views?

My mum claims both me and my brother played in one our dad built for us come rain or shine, so am thinking it could be a good investment - my son likes any kind of messy play basically.

We've got the sand table from John Lewis where you can put the lid on and then it's like a picnic bench for children. It's the best thing we have for the garden. Seb and his friends play in there continually and although probably not in the rain he does play with it during the winter as well. I love the fact that it's a picnic table as well cos he eats out there in teh summer as well which he thinks is a real treat. It is expensive but worth every penny and will last forever i think. Also looks nice in the garden which was quite important to me.

Hi, we bought this one Forst Sandpit John Lewis and its great - we only have a small garden but it fits really nicely and because there are seats to the side its not unusual for 4 kids to be playing all at the same time (also means you can take a pew with a cuppa, and dip your feet too!) We actually pack it away each winter - mostly because the cover just gets waterlogged and isn't 'animal-proof', I guess that part is a bit of a pain, but you could always get a big sheet of hardboard or similar to lie over the waterproof cover for the winter.

    • Hey everyone, I’m currently on the hunt for a second-hand car and thought I’d reach out to the forum for some advice. I’m particularly looking for a U-LEZ compliant automatic hatchback, so if anyone is selling or knows of a good deal, I’d love to hear about it! Also, if you have any general tips on buying a second-hand car — things to watch out for, red flags, or recommendations on trustworthy dealerships — I’m all ears! Any advice would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance!
    • I had the covid vaccination at TJ a couple of weeks ago or so and checking the card they gave me it says Spikevax which is Moderna.  Edit: just seen you had your jab in the pharmacy whereas I had mine in the first floor premises arranged by ECPS. I have heard/read that all vaccinations are Moderna this time round.
    • I've just checked on my NHS app, it shows that I've had the vaccine but doesn't record which it was. But then, it didn't last autumn and I was then given the record of what I'd had. Presumably this is a cost saving measure. I never get details of what flu vaccine I get or who made it. 
    • Last year Krystals were not using Pfizer, if you wanted it that had to be paid for, think it was £100.  they should have given you some documentation saying which brand it was.
