Both me and my husband have work on this half term which means we are not doing anything special with my daughter apart from endless playdates with her friends (which she loves of course).


We do have thursday morning free - any ideas where to take her as a treat? We need to be back home by 2pm so whatever it is has to be reasonably close. She is nearly 6.

Swimming she would love... soft play I think she has outgrown unless she goes with her friends.


Was thinking more like a museum or similar. I like the idea of the sticker room at the Tate but not sure it would keep her attention for very long.

The Albany (Deptford) have a wonderful childrens production on The Forest which is on until Thursday - there is a 11.00 show .... great threatre, space for lunch afterwards .....

Other than that (and easy to get to on overland) is Childrens Museum (Bethnal Green) and Geffrye Museum, all usually have activites over half term ....

Lots of stuff on at the Southbank this week - including freebie 'Become a Superhero' at 11am on Thursday:


"Become a superhero in this workshop with artist Laura X Carle and storyteller Rachel Rose Reid, who will help you decide what your superhero powers are.


Choose and decorate your superhero cape and eye mask. Then pick a name and be photographed in your final superhero pose."


Follow with a nice lunch in one of the many eateries.

I took my 6 year old daughter on a day out to the V and A recently. They have this fab back pack system which you borrow and they have activities to do in different areas. We then went and ogled the jewels (this was satisfying for both of us) and had then bought a postcard making set in the shop for sending postcards about said day out to Grandparents. Perfect day on a number of levels for her, she still talks about it, and I loved it too!

    • The top front tooth has popped out.  Attempted to fix myself with repair kit bought from Boots, unfortunately it didn’t last long.  Tooth has popped out again.  Unable to get to dentist as housebound but family member can drop off.  I tried dental practice I found online, which is near Goose Green, but the number is disconnected.   The new dental practice in FH (where Barclays used to be) said it’s not something they do.  Seen a mobile dental practice where a technician comes to your home and does the repair but I’m worried about the cost. Any suggestions please? Thank you 
    • So its OK for Starmer to earn £74K/annum by renting out a property, cat calling the kettle black....... Their gravy train trundles on. When the Southport story that involves Starmer finally comes out, he's going to be gone, plus that and the local elections in May 2025 when Liebour will get a drumming. Even his own MP's have had enough of the mess they've made of things in the first three months of being in power. They had fourteen years to plan for this, what a mess they've created so quickly, couldn't plan there way out of a paper bag.   Suggest you do the sums, the minimum wage won't  be so minimum when it is introduced, that and the increase in employers national insurance contributions is why so many employers are talking about reducing their cohort of employees and closing shops and businesses.  Businesses don't run at a loss and when they do they close, its the only option for them, you can only absorb a loss for so long before brining the shutters down and closing the doors. Some people are so blinkered they think the sun shines out of the three stooges, you need to wake up soon. Because wait till there are food shortages, no bread or fresh vegetables, nor meat in the shops, bare shelves in the supermarkets because the farmers will make it happen, plus prices spiralling out of control as a result of a supply and demand market. Every ones going to get on the gravy train and put their prices up, It happened before during lockdown, nothing to stop it happening again. You don't shoot the hand that feeds you. Then you'll see people getting angry and an uprising start to happen.  Hungry people become angry people very quickly. 
    • Eh? Straight ahead of what?  If you turn left at Goose Green, as you also posted above, you end up at the library. Then the Grove. Then, unless you turn right at the South Circular, you end up at Forest Hill!
    • yes I’ve spotted this too — it’s near me and I’m very intrigued to see what it’ll be 👀👀👀👀
