    Thanks DC. I am planning on cooking a nice Sunday roast later. The kids love Sunday lunch as its one of the few times when we all sit down to eat at the same time:). May watch a DVD or catch up with "come dine with me" later. It will be nice not to have the sunday night blues;)

    Thoughts of going to work tomorrow have been coming and going but I know I really should stay at home and relax.:)

    Only you know if you are going in tomorrow, but a nice short week could be what the Dr ordered....

    I tell you what though, the lovely thing about teenagers is given the chance to stay in bed - they will. Have had four hours of peace this morning. Any minute now it will feeding time at the zoo ..just what bank holidays are for.

    Sounds like the perfect Sunday (we're big fans of CDWM here!) and as you say, all the more enjoyable without the Sunday night blues. Enjoy! :)

    Thanks DC And Macgirl,:)

    I did have a very enjoyable lunch and also managed to watch CDWM:)

    I also watched " Autistic Driving School" last night on BBC 3 . As you know DS1 is on the "autistic spectrum" so this programme seemed to bring a whole lot of new worries into my mind. We are trying to get him "statemented" at the moment as he will be going to Secondary School in 2011 :eek:. I have an appointment at the hospital on Wednesday to fill in some forms to try and assess/ properly diagnose him. It will apparently take 2.5 hrs :eek::eek::eek: . Not looking forward to that.:(

    I have not gone to work today :) Am about to prepare another family lunch.... spag bol this time:)

    Have a lovely day:D
