Funny you should say that: I plan to refuse to let them out of their bedrooms every morning until they are fit for human habitation! Outings will probably be demanded but I shall attempt to limit them to the Starbucks in the Borders up the road. They can watch crap movies with their mother when she gets home. I live in Milton Keynes now, not Wales!  Starbucks, Borders...it sounds like you live in New Jersey. _____________________

Brighton is always fun, don't know why it is, but always is for me, spend a day out there? A museum or art gallery visit in London, the Tate Modern can be a full day out and it's popular with people of all ages, girls in short skirts for you to google at there  Brighton would be great, but MK is about as far from the seaside as you can get, which annoys me! I am not sure if we are allowed back in Tate Modern; when we visited last my son (younger and more naive) saw a translucent yellow toilet bowl in the middle of the floor and had ducked under the ropes and was preparing to use it when a panicking security guard dragged him away from the exhibit. Pep (My son explained later that he saw it as "performance art". )PS The short skirts would be more a a draw for my son now than myself.  _____________________

Are those concrete cows still there? The original ones are now on display in the MK Dons new stadium, I believe, and original copies (!?) have been situated in the field by the main London- Birmingham railway line Pep (where they are still subject to "redecoration" and mutilation by visiting football fans, drunken stag parties, bored students and confused bulls.) _____________________

@ Argent - LOL, and does it even count as wilderness? I mean.. the nastiest, most ravenous creature he could run into out in the sticks is.. what?.. a lonely sheep? _____________________

That's two questions, with two different answers.
What should YOU do? Go be Dad. Anything that gets you out of our hair is a Good Thing. What would *I* do? Spend the time in world. _____________________

If the OP expresses himself clearly it is easy to understand isn't it! Pep (Thank you for your recommendation.  )_____________________

This time of year the most ravenous creature in the British Isle is the Scottish Midgie - they eat you alive unless you have gallons of industrial strength insect repellent! _____________________

Mine tried that in the bathroom section at B&Qs at a similar age. (I've been going to Homebase instead ever since.) Take the kids Roller Skating - there's a club at Milton Keynes and take them to Bletchley Park and make sure they learn who made the first computer. _____________________

I think they imported spotted drop bears from Tasmania. Possibly an accidental release from a wax museum. "Spotted drop bears"? I swear that sounds like a type of fruit flavored chewy candy. This time of year the most ravenous creature in the British Isle is the Scottish Midgie - they eat you alive unless you have gallons of industrial strength insect repellent! Ok, that's a tangible threat. /me hates anything that bites if it doesn't buy me dinner first _____________________

I won a free trip to Bletchley three years ago and have done all the usual brainwashing, although I haven't emphasised the impact of Turing's sexuality.

Spend your first half utterly immersed in all aspects of SL, and the second half detoxing as far away from the home environment as possible. Definitely explore something new (outside of the home).

Since you appear to live within spitting distance of me, I voted purely for self-preservation.
