We’ve been busy enjoying a nine day break from work. We’ve been out on a few days out, a weekend to a caravan near pitlochry and I’ve had some mixed results on the poker table (more on that later).

Last week we decided to head to the Time Capsule in Coatbridge. I’d been there a few times when I was younger and remembered it being a lot of fun. Erin has only recently begun showing an interest in ’splashies’ aka swimming, so we thought it would be a good idea to go and check it out.

The prices were really reasonable, under £5 for us all to swim (I really mean bob and splash), and an extra £1.80 for soft play. Unfortunately the flumes were closed which was a little disappointing, although Erin proved herself to be a daredevil on the rather large (and steep) children’s slide, or perhaps is was an over protective parents view that the slide was “large” and “steep”.

It was a cheap day out, after stopping for lunch the whole day cost under £20.
