Ah, the playdate. A veritable mine of blog post inspiration. (Incidentally, I don’t like the term “playdate”. I’m sure we didn’t use it when I was a kid. However, it seems to be pretty ubiquitous now, and it’s snappier than “having friends round to play”, so I’ll stick with it for the time being – happy to receive alternative suggestions). The playdate is yet another one of those things that seems like a good idea at the time. Keeps the kids entertained for a couple of hours, and you can have a good old chinwag with your mummy pals over a nice cuppa.
