I really cant think of any reason why not, In my keep OFSTED happy voice I suppose you should do a risk assessment first though!:rolleyes:

Yeah but I think that bit would come natural now :laughing: :laughing:

Will it cost a fortune though taking the little ones with you ? What will you all have to eat and how many children will you have with you ?

I will only have one other LO with me.

2 are at school and one doesnt come on fridays...
that's why I thought i could do it...I wouldnt want to take 5 of them there...but with just one additional LO I think it is ok...doesnt get done all the time anyway......

Just need to find something with Low WW points to eat...that will be the biggest challenge! LOL

angel you are more than welcome to come but i think we are just a teeny bit far away!!

[angiemog]

Last time I went I got some healthy fruit and veg snap cards...... worth going just for them! x

Will the risk assessment be for the risk to my diet or for the risk to the kids???
haha


actually...what are the risks of taking a child for lunch? apart from the normal outing ones...anything in particular??

[Gherkin]

I took 3 of my mindees out with my 2 children to a restaurant for lunch before Christmas. Mum was really sweet and offered to pay for her two - I refused.

It was our christmas lunch out.

[PixiePetal]

My kids always finish at lunchtime on the last day of term before Christmas and I usually take them out for lunch at Pizza Express. (missed it because of snow day this time :( )

I took mindee (3) once, he loved it and behaved really well. Mum was more than happy and offered to pay for his meal but it was my treat - they do child sized pizza :thumbsup:

Your diet of course, who cares about the kids:eek: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: I really am only joking no one shoot me please, been a tough week, not me that cant cope, but everyone around me thinking they have it sooooooooooo much worse than anyone else! They need to see the pics from Haiti, then take a reality check!

no i didn't mean you were complaining, i meant my slightly warped sense of humour in the comment about not caring about the kids!:blush: I have had parent after parent with all of their lightweight stresses, as though the blooming weather is my fault and I am the only one not affected by it! Then I sat there last night watching the news, and just wanted to text all of them to say get a life you really have no idea!

I'veonly got one tomorrow so dh and I are popping out to see his sister to collect some aprons that MIL made so sort of childminding related. We are going to take sis and lo out for lunch. I think it's a nice thing to do :thumbsup:

[Alibali]

I've been up to F&Bs with the minded kids. they loved it and the parents were happy. When I had my first CC inspection my cco asked mindee aged 3 what his fav thing to do with me was and he said ' go to the pub'!!!!:laughing: :laughing:
