THis is where my sons learn to play tennis. Totally recommend!

To be honest - this post was from 2011 so my then 3 year old is now 11 and at HIgh School!!! :D .... pool is the same tho - personally I find the changing area cold but i haven’t been since last Summer so may have improved. It’s on Garon Park in SOuthend near Cecil Jones High School/Kids Kingdom/McD...

No problems here - well buses are a bit of a nightmare but otherwise fine and hoping the bus situation eases). He has had a good mix of lessons and seems to be fine. It’s good Felix is loving it too!

Big changes here too as James is starting juniors - which for him is a new school (same name and uniform but new building, new head teacher, new ways of doing things). He can take packed lunch tho now which he is super excited about. William is off to high school in 90 mins - I have hardly slept all...

Hello - sorry - usually pop in regularly but was away last week. Lovely to hear from you

Which I know you did when you voted for him and so we are both very grateful and thankful - it did make him so happy to see his vote count go up . Thank you

Yes and although he said there was no way he was entering next year he is currently sitting at the table doing a picture to enter a different competition! Fingers crossed but unlikely tho. He did also say that he wants a couple of the Blue Peter badges before he goes to Juniors so has sent away for ...

Thank you.

He came second with 35 points overall. The winner got 36 points. He was mega close but unfortunately not close enough. Such a shame but a really good achievement but he could so do with something to boost him a little! Ah well. Thank you so much for voting and asking

Thanks Jeanette

Thank you He went to sleep ever so excitedly!

James is through to an online vote in a Design a Board Game competition - please could you vote for him and get your friends and family to vote for him by sharing this link. He is so excited to have got this far! He is 6 years old and his game is called 'The Train Game'. THank you so very, very much...

I suppose it depends why he wants a divorce. If he wants a divorce only because he desperately needs and wants a child then yes maybe adoption is the way to go but not before you both discuss it fully. If there is any other reason why he has said this then no - it is not a good idea to adopt to just...

And the thing is almost all parents think it's great and don't seem to understand that the school has taken away the parent choice. Ah well - in James words (from yesterday) 'in 52 weeks I can have a lunch box which is about 9,000 hours!' - not that he is counting down or anything!

They took away the cold option. . He has managed so far and only one more year before Juniors and being able to take a packed lunch in! But it feels wrong to be wishing the year away!
