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

    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).
