My daughter will be 1 in a couple of weeks, we are having a party for her friends the weekend before but wanted to take her out for the day on her birthday itself. Originally was thinking the London Aquarium but it doesn't seem to get good reviews. Any other suggestions?


January birthdays seem so rubbish :-( If it was summmer the zoo and a picnic would be nice but I am at a loss for a cold potentially wet day!


Thx


Clare

Got no suggestions, but just wanted to say that January birthdays do get better ClareC. My daughter has for the last few years gone ice skating at Somerset house with a large group of friends, then home with them for a chinese & dvd afterwards - she says it's magical. Before that, as a younger child, she had some lovely birthday sleepovers with christmas tree lights strung all round her room. Yours is a bit too small for these things yet, but her time will come.

Oh dear! We went to the London Aquarium this summer when Little Saff was around 7 mo, and she loved it!! She boggled at everything, pressed her nose to all the glass, and slept for a solid 3 hours afterwards. It was great. Only thing that was a bit tricky was that I forgot to bring the baby sling. I ended up pushing an empty buggy and carrying Little Saff through the whole aquarium.


Little Saff also has a Jan bday, and we're looking for things to do and places to go. I'll be hoping for some good suggestions on this thread.

    • 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.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
