    Well thats my HHC over (turned into an hour or so). Did a little ironing (I only iron certain things and try to avoid doing it full stop) and folded and put away all the clothes. Also laid out DS's night clothing for after his shower and he is happy watching his Baby Signing DVD now :).
    Need to make some dinner soon, pasta with creamy mushroom sauce and Garlic Bread. Hope you all have had a productive day and congrats again Pigpen :).

    I am now officially on strike, for the next hour I am doing nothing except sit on the settee and get cuddles from my (now calm) boys. Then its off to work for 5.30.

    Think that'll be my lot for today unless I'm feeling energetic this evening. OH has requested Gammon and Leek Pie for Dinner so I sent him out to buy a leek and some potatoes, no doubt he'll come home with chips and wine instead!

    In a quandry as to whether to wake up DS2 (who is 16 months and has a cold/flu) and try to feed him something or to leave him sleeping. Bed time is at 6pm so I want him to sleep this evening, do I wake him now, feed him then put him to bed at 6pm or shall I leave him to wake up when he likes? He did eat some lunch but hasn't got much of an appetite at the moment.

    DS1 requested toast and marmite for dinner, seeing as the pie won't be ready by bed time I have relented!
    Must start feeding them better!
