Young Driver offers lessons to 10-17 year olds at 70 venues across the UK throughout the year.

LaserZone Birthday Parties: Our Review of their Brighton Venue https://singleparentpessimist.co.uk/laserzone-birthday-parties-brighton/ https://singleparentpessimist.co.uk/laserzone-birthday-parties-brighton/#comments Sat, 02 Apr 2022 16:50:06 +0000 https://singleparentpessimist.co.uk/?p=7469

I can't believe my son has now been on this Earth for a decade.

After two lockdown birthdays he deserved a treat to celebrate this double-digit milestone.

He has been to many LaserZone birthday parties over the years, but never had his own.

I recorded four thoughts of the day for BBC Suffolk Radio last month so I thought I'd share them!

Jon Wright from their evening show asked me to talk about four subjects I was interested in.

A Day Out at Zippos Circus https://singleparentpessimist.co.uk/a-day-out-at-zippos-circus/ https://singleparentpessimist.co.uk/a-day-out-at-zippos-circus/#respond Thu, 13 Aug 2020 14:56:10 +0000 https://singleparentpessimist.co.uk/?p=4777

Now lockdown is easing many families have started to go out and explore activities. Yesterday I finally braved it and took my son and nephew to the circus!

I've felt nervous to do it, because we're a vulnerable household, so I've held off until finding an activity that looks safe enough. I was offered tickets to Zippos Circus and immediately worried about being in a tent with lots of people.
