My girlfriend wants me to pick up some playpit sand this week for her
son's sandpit. Why?
What is wrong with builders sand for a sandpit? A quick look on google
suggests that playpit sand is washed, dust free and will not stain
clothes but as he is 4 years old and guaranteed to come in with dirty
stained clothes even if he has not been in the sandpit what's the
point?
In these parts, sharp sand is a better replacement for playpit sand
than
builders. It behaves more like beach sand and does not have as much
yellow clay in it.
Instead it has lots of lovely sharp edges that will cut the little
*******'s hands to ribbons.
He might not be married to the child's mother but that doesn't mean
the child was born out of wedlock.
But he was born out of wedlock. ISTR a news item that said in 2005 more
children were born out of wedlock than in wedlock, the first year that this
had happened.

OK, so was my first child. I would still be upset if someone called
him a little *******, even if it's technically correct.

Weddings are getting more like funerals, unavoidably expensive, and only
slightly less depressing.
At least at a funeral you can just turn up, mooch around a bit, eat
some finger food and then go home. Weddings are some long, drawn out,
ridiculously expensive occaSion, and you have to do the stag do as
WELL AND TRY and outdo eVERYONE ELSE at spending money.
The bride spends a year preparing for it, by which time she has flipped
and become unfit for purpose, and the bridegroom is wondering whether
one of the waitresses might be a better bet.
