I'm looking after my DGCs today and this is my 5th attempt at a hot cup of tea! Two of them were spilt (out of reach of the children - I was just moving their toys around when I knocked the first one over and the exuberant 4 yr old jumped on me when I was holding the other). And the other two were made but I got distracted with poo nappies or something else. Whew. Love it and we're having a ball but glad I don't do this every day! brew

Hot brew? I guess in about 5 years Lynda grin

I wouldn't blame you for having a crafty slurp of wine hours ago downtoearth! I'm impressed with your stamina, I'd have keeled over by lunchtime.

grin Just FaceTimed DS who's been looking after DGS while DDIL is at work. Someone gave 21 month old DGS a mouth organ......, with no volume control ( no it wasn't me!).......
