Pop round to mine Grock

We've got the monopoly out. Make sure you bring your purse though cos it tends to get competative.

Went to the plot today in the rain and everything ok on yours and Joes. Got completely soaked through....even my smalls were wet

It should be ok tomorrow so i'll be down doing some more weeding.

TTFN my little scaley bestest mate

Grock, have a look at www.dadcando.com which is a site aimed at single dads but stuffed full of activities for kids.

Dear Grockodile, can't you buy them some new games for the Ps.3, they are only about 60 quid each.

Lizzie, with your smalls getting wet i'm surprised theres not a water shortage.

You could always send the kids to the workhouse, they do still have them up there don't they.

Just had another thought, you could always play that card game, Happy families.

dig out all those craft books and make them work thru them!!
we are into collage atm-i cut out a big shape and lily sticks stuff on!

Dear Jopsy, the youngest one is twenty five years old you know.

rofl-no, seriously they could still do those!!

Do the local council have any free or cheap play schemes running? There's usually something like that on round here.
I may seem like a bad mother but I'm not much cop at providing entertainment for my kids. I was never entertained and seemed to manage okay.

How are you coping Grock?

I came across this thread on things to do with your kids in the summer holidays:

I hope you get some ideas there.

I took Conrad for his first visit to a swimming pool today and he loved it.
I hate swimming pools.
It's going to be a long holiday.
