8. Missing twin.

9. Clemmie in recycled clothes because it's good for the environment (not because she hasn't been given any recently).

Sorry to derail but she is a midwife and will only see patients wearing a mask while herself wears a mask - but will go to camp wannabes surrounded by strangers unmasked !? Strikes me as odd

I went to Car Fest years ago, my two were 7 and 4, we only had a day ticket. I'd say they enjoyed it for the most part of the day, but the queues for kids entertainment was huge, rides not too bad but defo guided by what the kids limits were as to how far we walked round etc. When we actually got to the stage to watch Will Young (albeit very far away), the kids moaned that they were bored so off we went home
So yeah totally agree with whoever said that people who say their kids love festivals are LIARS
1 day was defo enough for us!

My friends were at car fest last weekend with their two lads who are now 12 and 14 (they have a caravan so I imagine they may have gone in that but they may have only done the day thing). I only saw photos of it on FB but it looked like a glorious sunny day and brilliant sundown, however, the photos involved the lads on every conceivable ride/attraction and scoffing food from the vans and I thought, Jesus, I bet that was an expensive day. I’d have defo made sarnies and taken food/drink and made my kids walk round lots and then allowed max 2 rides...I’m tight af but with 3 kids these one day events paying for tickets, rides and food can easily rinse you of between £500 - £1000 and I can’t justify that sort of spending when you have to pee in a stinking dung hole that’s covered in other people’s urine

PS the silver lining is that the kids grow up, want to go to these things with their mates and actually have a great time camping, getting pissed, taking drugs and shagging, which is exactly what I think festivals should be about. They come home shattered, stinking and sleep for 3 days whilst you unpack and wash their bogging clothes and kit!

10 twins in odd wellies cause they’re so god damn quirky!

So, is it raining and howling wind in that there Dorset?

 

[rainbowlemon]

11. That Mr Tumble and Mister Maker are actually also on the Butlins line up as well and if they had bought day tickets it would have been around £10 per child, £17 for an adult.

Haha Yeah CarFest was a good day out but very expensive for food! Something like 8 quid for a sandwich!

I cannot think of a worse way to spend a weekend.

I’ve never camped in my life and never took my children either. I’m not a Princess but I do have boundaries and setting up a tent in a field and sleeping on the floor , especially with small children is a step over the line for me.

I hear that
Apologies to tent lovers but errrr no thanks

I remember reading one of his top festival tips some time ago, it was along the lines of "don't try to stick to the routine of normal everyday life"

he can take his festival tip, roll it up, and stick it up his sequin clad bum

what a load of tosh

12. Their tent comes unstuck and takes off;
or
13. They had booked a gypsy caravan to avoid bad weather and let the children sleep;
14. A wheel comes off their cart (he's already a few wheels short of a bus).

Sophie Ellis Bextor has had to cancel because some of her children have covid so she's in isolation. She seems like a nice person.

Sly is now complaining about the girls getting their nails done, and that he had to pay for it

If I’d asked at their age to get my nails done, my mum would’ve explained the cost, and then what else we could do with £100, and we would’ve compromised with doing our own at home. I don’t understand parents who don’t say no to their children and then complain about it.

 

[Emmadale]

Only just seen the nail video.

Paying for an 11 year old to have a pedicure….FFS!

And his fake crying face just makes me want to punch him!

Such a dick!

 

[blurstoftimes]

interesting than he hasn’t posted anything since arriving. Could it be that they are having so much fun they aren’t even thinking about their phones? Or could it be…the exact opposite of that?

This is why I would never camp.

I was gonna post the same thing before as we've never not been treated to CB stories. So many questions! Did he wear Kiley minogue esque hot pants to stand out like a #raddad?

I would be upset at forking out so much for most of it to be ruined by heavy rain. Even if it stopped the ground would still be drenched.

I think I would allow my 11 year old (if I had one) to have a pedicure, but I wouldn't be okay with the nails. The massage salon I used to go to before covid also did child massages too and I did take my youngest sister when she came to visit me.

I've posted this elsewhere but have you guys seen the HBO cartoon show trailer for the show called the Prince (about the royal family) ? Is Prince George fair game too because he's in the public eye?

Oh nooo:

I love camping, but it requires a stoic optimism that takes about a year between trips to muster.

That timeframe would increase to two to three years between trips if I had to erect or dismantle a tent in a storm, sleep in a tent through a storm, or walk to a toilet/find a bush in a storm.
