It will probably be very tight but so worth it in the long run. That makes it worth it

I know, this term seems to be really short! We have 4 days next week, then 5 days the week after and then another 4 day week. Then they have 2 weeks off! I'm really looking forward to the school holidays this time. I'm hoping the weather will be dry so we can get out most days for a walk to the different parks/library etc. Smalls have their soft play on Friday from the rest of their Easter money. I think I'll order another one when I can and use it in the holidays. There was a code making it £6.75 on Gr0upon for the 3 of them for 2 hours and it can be booked in for dates until August! Once there a jug of juice is £1 and provides plenty and £1.80 for a cuppa if I have one. I realise it isn't the cheapest activity but once in a while they really enjoy it

*their Easter money gifted to them, not from me/my budget.

The smalls deserve a treat and you deserve a coffee. Enjoy the soft play :T

DS only gets one week but I think from memory the smalls only had one week at Easter. I actually think that price for 3 to go to soft play is fantastic. The one nearest to us is £5.45 per child and the cafe is really expensive. And they also have 'extras' like mini go karts and toy grabber things It's a money pit

I'd definitely book them in again at that price especially if it's something they all enjoy doing. xx

Thank you Milann.

Tea I think if not booking on Gr0upon it's expensive (although I've never looked as I just wouldn't pay it ) There is a lot of other things to be tempted into. Like if you get a jug of squash its £1 and a choice of blackcurrant or orange but if you choose a single cup of juice/fruit shoot or similar its £2 each and there is grabber machines etc but we just walk past them :rotfl: I sound so mean!

I find it good too because more recently I've really struggled to find things that all 3 will enjoy, the girls are easy but DS is too grown up *rolls eyes* for some of the things the girls like to do.

Its tricky when they start to develop different interests or consider themselves too grown up for things they used to enjoy just 5 minutes ago! PS you don't sound mean at all - you put your smalls first every time

Not mean at all.
DS nearly got us chucked out of the bowling years ago for being to obvious with the snacks I had taken in :eek:

Morning WB Hope the appointment goes well and DS enjoys his trip.

I don't think you're mean either. They might have the extras at our play centre but the DC's rarely got to have a go and I became very adept at sneaking snacks into places.

Bowling is a great family activity that you could all do together as well. Maybe you could get a Groupon deal for that during one of the holidays.

Hope you and DD have a lovely day and the incy wincey spider actions are coming along nicely xx
