Recipe of the week

penguinmum's creamy fish pie: smoky, seasonal fish in a creamy white sauce with grated, rather than mashed, tatties on top - a meal of the highest comfort-food order.

hectate we had the one you linked 2 , it has been a huge success for 5 years but last year did start ot leak around several of the inlet pipes , we patche dit up with repair kit - not really successsful so used silicone sealant, our frame has rusted and a couple of the pegs which lock it all together went brittle and snapped last yr , so new one was needed. i paid about £400 for it but got 5 yrs of summer fun out of it, kids in it all the time, even set up climbing frame and slide into it to create flume and diving board!! we ar enow unpacking a new easy up one will let you know if " a poor relation" to frame one

8 hours shock think i wills tick to my 150 x 25 cm one !
12 footer takes about 8 hours to fill.

Get the chemicals from a pool/spa place. Algaecide kills the algae, chlorine kills bacteria, so you need both. Also the pH has to be correct so you need pH adjuster that's appropriate for either hard or soft water, and a kit or strips to test the water with.

this

ok tell me if i got this (above link) can you fill them so they are not brimming at the top so a toddler could paddle or do they have to be brimming with water. Also how long would one take to fill and with that package i linked to how much are the chlorine things and algecide thingabobs and how often do you use them. Finallly anyone seen same deal but cheaper - perhaps 10 ft?

thanks smile

Shiver. I measured the bottom end where the trampoline is, and a 15ft one would fit.

If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
