No choice if I stopped no one would step in

Considering adding to the Xmas gifts though with some more crafty things. We will have used quite a bit of ours with all the Xmas activities :cool: Or maybe wait until their birthdays.
I'm not painting as late tonight though. I will do some why I'm waiting for the dryer then I can iron and jump in the shower then settle down. I have plans for the morning and I at least need to make myself look half decent “Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”0 -
Ice rink is £20 for 2 adults and 2 children or 1 adult and 3 children so you will be able to have the family ticket. When you going to go before or after Christmas?
Was in B town on Saturday at the market with friends buying a turkey , I do like the market. Saw the ice rink and snow slide .0 -
I want to go this weekend really! Not sure though.
Is there a rule about how many children you can take on? I feel I always need to drag someone along to days out like that because you can't have 3 small ones to one adult.“Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”0 -
Not sure but the kids get those penguin things don't they , think they are penguins !, so they should be quite safe , especially your DS . I would guess you would be ok though . It's not fair if you have to pay for another adult or child .0

Completely off-topic but this takes me back to my childhood as Dad worked near there.
