Hi


I wondered if there was anyone out there in a similar position that has already solved my dilemma, I have two children one is 8 and the other is 2. Currently they are taking it turns to do things over the summer holidays, which is fine but I wish there were a few things they could both do and enjoy together.


Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

What about a splash park? Im sure an 8yo would enjoy running around in the water as it splashes about? As would a 2 yo? At danson park in welling the splash park is lovely and the play areas are not just for little kids with a zip wire etc. Lovely boating lake too. :)

My oldest is 7.5 and youngest is 2 (with a 6 year old in the middle). I find most things are suitable for all of them really - soft play (although I hate going to them so it doesn't happen often!), swimming, parks, Horniman and other museums, sandpit by the Horniman etc. My youngest enjoys chasing her siblings around!

Hanging out around the Southbank? There's the fountains and the beach is right by the skateboard area so the older one can watch that while the younger pootles in the sand. Often lots on and it's not too kiddy for the 8 year old. Just wandering down along the river and seeing what's going on usually keeps my 8 year old happy. Lots of coffee options etc for parents too.

We have been to the Olympic Park today with a group of children aged from 3 to 8 1/2. It's definitely good for a change - water fountains, a couple of playgrounds and all of them had a great time despite the showers! You can also book swimming at the Olympic Pool - I think you could take a 2 and 8 year old in by yourself but you would have to check.

      Day One Hairdresser

      By Azalea · Posted

      Re Day One, £52 for a short hair cut (cut & styling) and £72 for a long hair cut (cut & styling) which I believe is below the ears.  £38 for a blow dry which doesn’t appear to be included in the cut price as it’s not mentioned.  £15 for a fringe tidy.      I remember being startled to be charged separately for a blow dry by the salon that used to be in Melbourne Grove but is now closed down.  I was asked if I wanted a blow dry after the cut and highlights and said yes, but wasn’t told that I would be charged separately.  Only found out when I went to pay the bill.    Was offered a voucher on a further appointment.    De.Salon which used to be Cut-Throat in Peckham (Choumert Rd and Brixton) charge from £45 for a Short haircut that finishes by the ears.  They charge from £40 for any haircut that finishes below the jawline.  Their prices include a blow dry.  But if you have thick hair they charge an extra £15 for every additional 15 minutes for cutting.     I had my hair cut there before the name change.  I don’t understand the from part of the price. Had a look at the Blue Tit pricing which is very complicated. They charge depending on the stylist’s  experience.  Crab Salad in Peckham  -  short hair cut above the ear - from £69.    Long hair Cut below the ear from £80. Blow dry not mentioned as being included in the cut but is priced at £55 I noticed that Kuki charge different prices for men and women.  Doesn’t seem right if a woman has short hair and a man has long hair.   I used to go to a great salon in NW London  that charged the same price for men and women and stopped going when they upped their prices for women.

      BIAB is supposed to be less damaging to the nails than Shellac. It stands for Builder in a Bottle.

      I have been training at the hub for just over one year. I really enjoy the variety of training offered and the quality of the instructors. Very effective group classes and enjoyable in the open air! A very welcoming place which makes a fitmess journey pleasant!
