    Nice day out near oxford? (within 50ish miles)

    I live in the Cotswold, and there's loads to do. I also have a 4 year old son who loves running about and wildlife, so I'd say Burford wildlife park. There is plenty of space to run around, a great playground, lots of animals to see, a train ride, and isn't too far from you. You could take a...

    Ideas of charity to Support in Gloucestershire area

    How about the Meningitis Trust, who are based in Stroud? Supplying water coolers may be of use to them for the next Five Valleys Walk too!

    What do we do in our spare time?

    Other than spending time with my 4 year old son and catching up on the household chores that didn't get done during the week, I shoot when I can, canoe when I can, go for nice walks as and when and catch up with friends. I like good food too but OH isn't that interested - hmmmmm time for another...

    What cars do you drive

    We also have a broken Discovery on the drive - head gasket went on the M4 on Boxing Day! :mad: Luckily, I have my Megane to keep us going until we decide what to do with the dead-Disco.

    I want to go back to Swindon???

    Hmm, happily I don't live in Swindon, but I do work here, opposite the Outlet as it goes too! Can't understand why on earth the place is twinned with Disney World.:eek: Very strange place and not very nice on a Saturday.

    Stupido

    If its any consolation, my hubbie did the same thing, although not up to the brim. He was just told to fill it with diesel to dilute the unleaded and it was fine apart from a bit smokey. Mind, it is an old landrover so was probably smoking anyway! :p Hope it doesn't cost you too much. :)

    How do you work from home with kids?!

    Blimey, don't know how you do it! I'm a working Mum but spend 1 day working at home and 3 days in an office, but my son goes to nursery and has done since 6 months old. I think its fairer on him to be at nursery beign stimulated and looked after whilst I'm working than being put in front of the...

    Help Please ! Pregnancy

    I assume that at only 3 weeks pregnant she will not have told her employer about being pregnant and won't do for a while, so I'd say they are within their rights to not allow her to leave early for an appointment as they don't realise it is pregnancy related. TBH, I'd say you're probably...

    Did you know if your baby was going to be a boy or a girl ?

    All done. I didn't want to find out as didn't see any point and wanted that extra incentive at the end to push harder when I had nothing left!!

    Employer wanting to deduct money from wages for crb check!

    profitxchange - a CRB is not really a qualification so I can't see how it would your taxes paying for the qualification. More likely it would be your taxes paying to make sure someone was safe to work with children. As to who should pay it, I have no idea legally, but splitting it 50/50 seems...

    Yet Another Children and Breakages Thread

    I might be completely wrong here, but I'm sure I remember hearing during a law lesson at college that signs stating 'All breakages must be paid for' is an illegal sign. :|

    How old is everyone and what do you do?

    I'm 33 and work for a conservation Charity. Used to work in IT and after 8 years left, so a bit of a change! Never worked for myself and don't really think I have it in me to do so, although I am a party consultant on the side of my 'real' job!
