Thanks to those who have replied:)

DD is 8. I said she could go to the party but not sleep over but we've had tears etc as she says she will be the only one not staying:(

Don't know the parents very well...sounds like it will be boys and girls Maybe Im being over protective but we live in a sometimes scary world.

I can't recall how old my daughter was, probably about 10, she got invited to a sleepover (girls only) with someone I barely knew, I insisted on meeting the mum first over a cup if tea, we had a good chat and became friends for a while.

I went on a school trip recently to London with the whole of my second DD year, they are yr 6 primary. OMG is all I could say, apparently I am very cool because I get it. Don't know what they were talking about but I did learn quite a bit sitting at the back!! I did draw the line when 2 of them were trying to get it on and were talking about making babies, I couldn't quite believe what I was hearing at the time - I was relieved when one of the other girls didn't feel well and I went to help with the sick bag!!
God help the parents!!

Can I ask a question...

At what age do you think is ok for a sleep over party... Boys and girls ?
thanks

Afternoon y'all..:D
My son had his first sleepover at 4 and three qtrs .. Seemed very early but it's because we helped some friends out who were new to the area and it began a chain of sleepovers. Anyway, was great and he's done loads (and we've had loads). Dependent on the child. you farming your kids out for the night? :rotfl:

afternoon all, been to smyths this morning and done ok, didn't expect much but got a few bits and pieces for crimbo!! popped into boots got 10 rolls wrap some tags and a union j set for just over £5 paid with points, had a mcds and then came home


nice to see mags getting a badge for my boots find, I have now made the decision that I will not post outside this board.


also picked up my c&c this morning had a lovely chat with the bloke as get on really well with him and he asked what was the deal this week on toothbrushes (I didn't have none) I asked why and he said as someone had collected 12 over 2 orders this morning and the same person had more last week...........talk about radar!! I did however have 4 boxes of udis that compared so I'm happy as one of mine likes the apple and another one likes the strawberry

Half price elsewhere. Why would you use 1 shop to do that though ? I'm not against anyone doing anything against a supermarket really but that just screams, ban me please. At least if you use more branches they are less likely to suss you out.

They will close these loopholes eventually so you are best to fill your boots before they do. There may be bans to be had though.

That's the difference isn't it, not just the occasional hello in the playground...

I agree, i would do the same, especially as you don't know the parents very well.
Maybe start with a Mum you do know well and see how she gets on, have her DD to you, and then hopefully your DD can go to them, then its a kind of compromise without you looking like the bad guy in your DDs eyes?

I do agree with your points above that as we were friendly in the first place, it was easier - and even though the kids were/are little, we had done play dates at each others houses anyway. The sleepover was the next step albeit much earlier than I'd have assumed. Maybe speak to the girls parents, invite the girl round etc to see how they get on. Or do a sleepover at your house first. I wouldn't be comfortable having boys and girls sleeping in the same room, not even under my own roof.

that reminds me, I offered some friends of mine, to drop their boys off for their first ever sleepover at some point (aged 7 and almost 5). going to chase it up now.

Has everyone seen the little box on the right with the note about Ideal Home Show tickets being given away tomorrow? Good opportunity for an elite get together maybe. I think PD said she was going to be there?

i saw all his charge sheets and there is nothing on there
they just got a bee in there bonnet for him

i know first hand what lengths they go to to cover up or to get a charge to the extent it cost the police force £250k for a case against me for a parking ticket where a pc assaulted me all on cctv

Not sure what you mean about the charge sheet?

When someone is charged, the charge/s is read out to them, then they are asked to sign the charge sheet. Obviously they can refuse to sign, but that doesn't make any difference, as they are still charged.

It wouldn't be right of me to comment on anything else, but in terms of the process, there doesn't seem to be anything amiss unless there is something else you haven't mentioned?

My dd is 9. I would allow her to a girls sleepover but not with boys. I just don't feel it's appropriate x

Hello

I have twin girls who will be 9 in May, both desperate to have a friend each to sleep over, which I am ok with.
Both have a new friend only been round for tea once and her mum asked me if could sleep last weekend, I don't really know them very well, so I said no. I just couldn't rest not knowing what was going on.
Also you have to take into account who is coming and going from the house.
Plus my girls have never slept anywhere but at home, going away with the school in May for 2 nights but I am ok with that as I know it will be all supervised. Although I will miss them so much and probably have a cry!!!
