Ok, I know you should love and cherish your kids, but I've really found lately that I need to keep them busy to stop me going nuts! They like TV (which kids don't?) and books.


Anybody know of some decent books to keep them quiet as I kinda don't like rotting their brains with too much TV. I've got them some books that get delivered monthly I think but I was just wondering what everyone else does? I have a friend who just sticks a DVD on loop and leaves the kids to watch which I don't think is that great. Any more kids books?

depends on how old your kids are for a start of and which things they like doing - if they like books are they members of your local library - if not then this would be a great place to take them every week and of course this service is free - its possible that they would be hire DVDs reasonably cheaply from the library aswell and join in craft activites, storytimes etc depending on their ages - another passtime is swimming which is reasonably cheap or if money is not an issue how about ten pin bowling, skating, horse riding, dancing, football, brownies, scounts,

What you need is a 6 inch nail and a heavy hammer. Nail one of their feet to the ground so they walk round in circles all day and don't get in your way. One might consider this to be a tad extreme, but it's very effective!
