I collect grandsons 4 & 6 from school on Fridays and bring them back here until after dinner. We'll be back here by about 4pm....just when Murray's semi final match will be due or just started. But I'm all prepared .....
Picnic table is set up in the lounge (opposite end to tv) with scrap books, scissors, glue, old Argos catalogues etc. That'll last about an hour or so but I have new toy helicopters as a back up. Dinner will be fresh ravioli, a 3 minute job that I can sort out between sets. Ambrosia rice for pudding, no brainer. Have made some fresh play doh as second back up. (To occupy, not eat!!!)
If all else fails, then bribery will swing into action with bags of popcorn and fizzy pop.
Any other ideas to ensure I get to see the match are welcome!
