Tis TM 8 Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 A few days I can stick, but this is taking the biscuit!! I had a walk on Bodmin Moor planned tomorrow, but if its like this there's not a hope in hell... The youngest has just turned 2, and there's no way he could rough it with waterproofs and wellies as the oldest 2 would.... Is there anyone else out there doing thier nut trying to keep the sproggits happy? ... Hubby just phoned to say they've forecast this for most of August too I'm wondering how the hell I'm gonna survive the next 6 days, let alone the next 6 weeks! Help guys!!

Doesnt help not having any money either Well thats where a stroll and some sarnies up on Rough Tor made for a cheap but amazing day out..... IF the weather obliged! My Mum and Dad and an Aunt took 4 of thier grandchildren to Flambards a couple of days ago.... they had £3 per person off and it STILL cost them over £ to get in!! Then they still had to pay for some things like the little remote controlled boats and other games at a quid a pop!! Its criminal! We wont be going there in a hurry Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tis TM 8 Posted July 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Hmmmm, I'd really struggle with the 2 and 3 year old in this rain, I know they'd not melt but I dont think they'd enjoy it atall, the rain was stinging my face this morning, and I'm a hardend ole boot It really is like winter here in Cornwall! I'm gonna get a shed load of chocolate and make choccy cornflake cakes with them I think... The oldest 2 have got thier friends coming for sleep overs tonight ... so I'll have 6 buzzing monsters to deal with :: especially after all that choc.... hmmmm..... maybe change of plan needed there I think!! lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
