We've got about 4 inches here! Dh is wondering if he should trek to school in slough! Sometimes I'm glad I work at home.................

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

All our schools are closed, and I have an unexpected day off, so the boys have been playing in the snow since 9am. DS4 last about 30 minutes, ds3 lasted about an hour, but had to come in for a shower as was mega cold and has needed his inhaler so won't be going back out. Ds1 has just come in after 2 1/4 hours as he can't feel his hands, even through my leather gloves and ds 2 has disappeared next door.
Dh is away again, and I am keeping my fingers crossed that this lovely snow has disappeared before thursday so that my flight isn't cancelled to JFK to see DH. PLease keep your fingers crossed for me, or as ds3 said talk to the weather fairy (this was after watching the weather on sky news this morning!!)

Hello everyone. I love the snow. Both my mindees left early today. I just need to get my DS3 to nursery, visit my friend CM on a farm, DS1s school shut, DS2 school open .

Did the snowball fights, etc this morning. DS1 and DS3 has bucket and spade and made snow castles. We used them at the beach yesterday, how bizarre!!

oo looney I have been eying that one up for some time - whats it like? ANy good? What about rain cover - have you managed to find one?

I currently have 3 under 3 - but the older one can manage reasonable distances but the new school run is 15 mins there and 15 back - wopndering if its a bit much to expect her to walk that far...

Also don't have them every sibngle day - 3 out of 5 - so is it really worth it?...

What do you all think?

I LOVE it. It's really fab. I either have my 7 month old, just turned 1 yr old and nearly 2 year old in or the same but swap the just turned 1 yr old for another nearly 2 yr old. Obviously with the older 2 it is heavier (especially as my just turned 1 yr old is VERY small) but I still think it's fab. It's fairly heavy on it's own but I think it sort of needs to be to safely have the weight of all the kids in. Oh, and it fits in my VW Sharon's boot which is not big so yes, I highly recommend it
