I didn't give my dc anything special to eat...just made sure I cooked everything to a crisp to eliminate any chance of food poisoning. Ds2 threw himself out of a tree 2 days before the test , so I guess when anything can happen there's little point in buying hundreds of supplements!
Our naked trampolining neighbours told their son the arch angels were guiding him and he didn't need to work or take his fish oils because they would carry him through. He didn't pass.

We spotted a LOT of trampolines in Kent on google earth when we were house-hunting.
It's why we moved here

Several years ago, flying back into Southend Airport after a day trip to Jersey, we could tell when we were over Thorpe Bay from the number of swimming pools in people's gardens .fatbananas wrote:We spotted a LOT of trampolines in Kent on google earth when we were house-hunting.

To be fair, a better experience than on the way out; I decided to look out of the window when I thought we might be over our house in Leigh on Sea, just as we banked steeply and all I got was a very scary eyeful of Thames mudflat

I'll delete it, as no offence was meant. Though given the amount of times my daughter nips to the loo, it's very tempting!
