    Cornflour you don't mean gloop do you?

    I have brownies tonight, not sure what we are doing.

    How about a board games night? Or parachute games if you have one? Failing them too just games? lol then mabye pop in the supermarket on the way home and get some chocolate to melt, some cocktail sticks and strawberrys/marshmellows for a dip? and make milkshakes?

    If none of those sound suitable just say and I will keep thinking!

    I dunno, it's like a solid / liquid thing. It's fun to play with :) if you punch it it's like a wall lol.

    yeah it looks solid and then you scoop it up and it turns into a liquid. It is called gloop - we did it in nursery!

    I was thinking that but at 10 I think they may well be a little to old for it - hummm making silk daffodils would be good but unf it needs to be an item I can buy in Charring X on my way home - arrhghghgh

    is it really that feasable?

    I guess you could kind of cut them into shapes and do art stuff like potato shape things - hummm

    Carving things out of leeks, duh :p

    Probably not in the slightest bit feasable but you could have fun trying and then make leek and potato soup with the leftovers!

    They can wash my car, I'll even supply the bucket and water .. :)

    If you want entertainment though then I'll have to get the pressure washer out cos you can have real fun with that, writing words and drawing pictures into the dirt of a pavement

    cinema trip that just shows how unguiding experience you have
    you need lots of forms and permission and planning for a cinema trip, and probably for the camp fire too!

    Bloody forms and safety!

    i was in the cubs. we were hardcore. we cooked bananas in foil and then looked at stars. was ace.

    Most of the time, we just used to climb on the walls / other odd bits of furniture lying aroudn. :/ That sounds a bit weird now, but I assure you, it was fun.

    I was cruel and evil and made them do a mini eisteddfod - and each write a poem in welsh and read it out!

    Well I did also say they could do it in english about wales.

    Then i said they had to plan something for next week otherwise we would have another eisteddfod - worked wonders....
