As teacher smilingly returned your child to you for the Christmas holidays, you just KNOW you heard 'Mwwaahahahahaaaa!' as the door closed behind you...
...Yes, they're all yours in the week before Christmas and good luck to you with that one!
Pro Direct Football Academy
Could anything be more welcome than sending them off to have fun, improve their football skills and most importantly, work off some energy for a couple of days? Offering places to boys and girls aged 4 to 13 years, the Pro Direct Football Academy course at Coulsdon College is the perfect solution to providing the kids with fun, games and competitions, and allowing harrassed parents time to do that last minute shopping, or just put your feet up while you can!
Running from 9.30am to 3.00pm on the 21st and 22nd December 2011, at a cost of just £20 a day, all you have to do is provide a packed lunch and drop them off - there are even FREE T-shirts for all attending.
Kidspace Croydon
Don't forget - Kidspace Croydon is running its Xmas Big Event until 23rd December.
Games, party dances, fancy dress and a pizza buffet should keep them occupied for a while. Plus, of course, the chance to visit Santa in his Grotto, just to check he DEFINITELY got that list!
Purley John Fisher Rugby Club
Does your child prefer to be a spectator rather than participator?
You could wrap up warm on Christmas Eve and support Purley John Fisher Rugby Club as the first team compete in the London Division 3 League. Kick off is at 3.00pm and entry into the ground is free.
This local club has great rugby at the club every weekend, go along and cheer them on and grab a drink in the newly redecorated club house, before heading off home to put out sherry, mince pies and hang up those stockings.
Every little helps when filling in time as those last few sleeps drag by, happily Croydon is able to provide a little of that help. And remember that listing events is free on thebestof Croydon!
