Lo is now successfully potty trained, hoorah!


We're going on holiday next month and will no doubt spend all day on the sandy beach so...what's the etiquette? Take potty for her to use then then dig a big hole in the sand to discard of contents? Pour it in the sea? ( can't imagine that's very pleasant for anyone) or try and find a bit of "shrubbery"?


I doubt we'll be able to persuade her to just wade in the sea and go...


And as for number 2's?! It's a minefield!

Last time I went to Camber Sands, the state of the toilets was so bad that I'd rather have pissed in a hole! Plus there was a really steep sand dune between the beach and toilets, which would have been tough to get up and over quickly with small children. Of course every beach is different, so best to be prepared.

I am having a flashback to the Barmouth rock pool floating poo incident of 2004. Serves me right for letting child gambol naked in the water.


It was wholly traumatic. I spent ages trying to anchor the blighter down with rocks, in the end I sort of penned it in with driftwood and draped seaweed over while hoping the tide came in quickly

    • DKH was two form entry, it is now one form entry to cope with the fact it was far more under subscribed than other schools in the area. They had actually combined year groups into single classes, 3/4 and 5/6.  When a school changes name, it’s usually because of a bad reputation perhaps the results.  The new name is dry with no history unlike its current name. It’s a very sketchy decision. It’s an expensive vanity project for someone.  What  will happen if the name change does not increase applications to the school?     
    • @first mate I assume Alice made a mistake, as she removed her reaction.  I was wondering about park wardens. As I said, there was one there last night, who was incredibly helpful and proactive. As well as bringing me to the police, he caught up with a young guy on a bike who'd earlier been the victim of an attempted theft by these kids and linked him up with the police too. But I do wonder, as I've only very occasionally seen him riding around, how many they have and what hours they patrol. I've no doubt they'd be a strong deterrent if they had a better presence. They were nowhere to be seen the first time around.  Update: I've just found this: https://services.southwark.gov.uk/community-safety/community-wardens The guy in the photo at the bottom of the page was the lovely warden of last night and I've just now remembered him telling me he's based in Burgess Park. Anyway, there needs to be more of them, as I rarely see one in Peckham.
