If you are going somewhere on holiday where it is BOUND to be bloomin' raining, what are you taking to amuse the kids?

[Enid]

apart from patience and cash obv

We have dds - 7, 4 and 1

am taking monopoly, uno, nintendo ds, lots of colouring books and pencils, blow up ball for dd3

Surfermum - we saw dolphins too a few times but quite far out, lovely site. OOOh can't wait to get to Cornwall.

shorts, cagouls, Crocs /jellies/sandals and just carry on with what we had planned. hardcore.

lolol at marinas bottle of kalms

what a fecking excellent idea

I shall definitely look out for your tribe too Megalegs, but I don't think I would have the nerve to speak.

DG, we sit on the left, vry near the steps to the footpath. Inone of the little covey bits, being bombarded by seagulls!

The steps are on the right surely? When you say left, are you looking out to sea, or back to land?

Twister

panic pants, I used bbc.co.uk/weather - they've been kinda reliable in past!!! Just put your destination in on the 5 day forecast. Fingers crossed N Brittany and s brittany will be submerged in a heatwave till the end of Aug!!!!!

panicpants I thought the alligator park was quite impressive. They also have an outdoor area where you can actually get in the runs with some quite large tortoises.

out to sea. There is a 'grill' cafe near by. Not the side where all the surfy clothes shops ar3

Oh right, I know where you mean. Bit crowded there though isnt it?

god, I don't know. We usually go in late |June. This year will be our first August trip. I am dreading it for all sorts of reasons...

The grill restaurant is the campsite restaurant isn't it?

I am slightly dreading trying to keep an eye on all four on what will probably be a very crowded beach.

I am only dreading the weather.

My children are reasonably old enough to go off by themselves and take care of themselves (apart from the youngest but even he can go off with the others and be reasonably safe). Isn't it funny how we allow our children more freedom on the beach than we allow them at home? Or is that just me?

So anyway, have we enough people to make an official MN meet-up?

well not if you're going to hide...

IIRC NAO is in the area at the same time too.

Deffo enough for a meet-up. Am going to make mn soupy bat bikini.

Well I was serious about taking my MN t-shirt with me, but I can't promise to wear it, not with the weather being what it is like.

Also, it is quite likely at least one of my children will be drinking a Fruit Shoot and I am not sure what would happen to my MN standing if anyone of you reported this fact back to the community....

But if I was ever going to attend a meet-up, it would be when on holiday as it is more anonymous that way, isn't it?
(Have a feeling you all think I am neurotic now!)

ah but fruit shoot now doing 100 per cent fruit juice now One of mine is old enough to have his own pocket money and buy what he damn well likes so...no judging here!
