I try to get over the disappointment of my 8 AM lie-in actually being 9 AM by switching the alarm clock forward before I go to bed. I still don't feel like I get a lie-in.

We get the hour back in October! I'm already making plans to spend it wisely.

Extra hour at cottage!

Kern · **Posted:** Mon Mar 27, 2017 10:50

We should copy King Edward VII's Sandringham time and have our time zone in Cottage so we can party harder in the evening.

I got up with the kids at 7:something & made Gaz coffee in bed and then we travelled for an age to sell one of Gaz's guns and then went to Jodrell Bank because Gaz hadn't been before.

I'm not sure we did Mother's Day correctly tbh.

Yeah, that sounds totally wrong! When did you cook Gaz's steak? What about his favourite beers, did you get him them? We all expect better from you next year.

Jem · **Posted:** Mon Mar 27, 2017 12:27

I didn't cook Gaz a steak but I did pay for his meal at the pub if that counts?

Will try harder next year.

Hang on, I just want to circle back to "one of Gaz's guns".

WTF?

I hope Gaz pampers you on Arseholes' Day.

Read that as "pampers your arsehole today" which wasn't a weird mental image at all

For a moment I thought he had a hitherto-undisclosed butterfly tattoo, then I realised it was part of the strap on his bag.

At first, I thought this post related to the Pampers photo.

According to the Oxford Mail and some press release they've printed, the most average place in Britain is....

ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!

Didcot.

Might write a short travelogue of my Northern Irish excursion at some point but thought I'd share this moment with you, which told me a lot about the place.

When I was in Belfast the other week, a first floor lounge in the youth hostel overlooked a clubhouse for Glasgow Ranger fans. I was looking out of the window at the street scene and watched a uniformed bandsman walk out of that building. Two kids in the street saw him, dashed across the road, deliberately bumped into him from both sides, and ran off down a sidestreet with his hat.

I have recently discovered Pinterest. I have wasted hours on looking at model things on there.

Taking the kids to London for the first time for part of the Easter hols (Apr 10th-13th).

Are there any things we should definitely do - aside from the obvious museums / touristy stuff - that you guys would recommend?

MrChris · **Joined:** 1st Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 30498

Imperial war museum and HMS Belfast. There's a nice walk along from HMS Belfast towards London Bridge that has Hayes Galleria as a stop for lunch.

NHM obvs, but I won't insult you by suggesting it wasn't already on your list.

There's a moomin exhibition at the southbank that I'm off to this weekend, will report back on what that's like, but it looks good.

Story Centre in Stratford is also great, though I've never been during the school holidays. And it's in Stratford, which has little else to recommend it.

If your kids like knights in shining armour, Wallace Collection is awesome, and normally fairly quiet.

Climbing the 300-odd steps of the Monument might be a fun challenge for the kids.

As curious as I am after the earlier twitter exchange, I don't think either of them would appreciate it :DD

That reads so much like something to catch a random roaming Mimi that I was not sure it was true until i clicked it - Russ if she's not seen it you'll want to make sure she knows its on
