What to do with just 4 hours?

victory

DS2 was going to a sleep over tomorrow starting at 2pm until am on sunday morning, he was super excited about it and so were we because we get to have some us time and had loosely arranged to either have a leisurely late lunch or dinner out, a trip to the cinema to see haywire and maybe some drinks and some time in bed.

Now, due to the kids parents forgetting the friend had a hockey tournament match it has been cut to just 4 hours 2 to 6pm.

Uhm what to do is those 4 hours?

Lunch out, or still go to the cinema or still have time in bed.

Is it out of the question to arrange a babysitter, so you can still have a night out? I'd be disappointed, if I'd been looking forward to an evening out to miss it completely.

If that isn't an option, I'd probably go for the cinema, and buy some nice food and wine and have a lovely meal together after DS2 has gone to bed. If you have to pick him up at 6pm, I can imagine that might curtail the kind of lunch you were thinking of having, if you have to drive afterwards and be back in parent mode for a few hours until bedtime.

Thanks we are disappointed but that goes with being a parent:D, we were going to a lovely little pub by the lake, gorgeous views, a bit of a drive from here but would not have mattered as we had plenty of time:D

I would go for a long walk and an early pub dinner, or do it the other way round. That leaves the evening free and the stomach settled for a nice cosy evening in bed with OH once ds has gone to bed.

a sleepover, 2-6pm?

Hardly seems worth going out, why not get a takeout/M&S 2Dine and play on the XBox?

Nooo don't mention the xbox......:eek:


Pics sound good for the afternoon - are there no grannies or other relatives who would like to provide their home for a sleepover instead?
