Ok here are a few of the things we made today. I'm not sure where the pictures are going as I just upgraded my blog template and it's doing strange things I'm not used to. Well I'll just keep calm and carry on and see what happens. There's some spanners and stuff appeared too, presumable indication that things need fixing... hmmm, not sure I like this way of doing things. Anyway, this is Fergus's plasticine thing...
Anyway, we seemed to have quite a procuctive Sunday at home, considering how ill I've been feeling. i finally had a bath and got dressed and took down the rest of the decorations and the tree outside- phew! Well, mainly spent the morning cleaning the kitchen, and then it was nearly teatime really.Well, we did spend quite a bit of time finishing off Freddie's model pirate ship before tea could be started . I just wanted it to be out of the way as all the bits were getting lost, especially when they started boucing the inflatable mega-globe around the room! The boys were having a no-computer day, as I had said something before they went to bed and they remembered. I did have to send them upstairs to play a couple of times as they were a bit lively.
And as tea was a bit boring I decided I had to make some puddling, and still running on emergency rations and Chrstmas leftovers, 
I plumped for a mince tart and custard. Yes, I have loads of homemade mincemeat left! I just remembered it was something my mum used to make. I quite enjoyed making this, as you can see... you can take the girl out of the textile design but you can't......... Add the barely listenable-to pop music, AKA the Radio One chart show, blasting its way across the kitchen table, and you might get a flavour of the true delights of the experience.... My kids are funny about pop music- they seem to have discovered it all at one and are to be heard humming all sorts of tunes, and when I ask them where they heard them, "O that's in Shrek 2" or it's on the radio. I overhear conversations such as "I don't like this kind of music it's like a radio that's gone wrong" and .... "there's nothing in that pie and you're putting it in the oven! That's called baking it blind"..and"what's that song by? what's the name of that thing you get in a desert with trees and water? ...oasis? yeah, is it by Oasis?"

LOL. Great post. Love the pirate ship.
I remember when my eldest asked me if I'd ever heard of Jon Bon Jovi,
and was most surprised by my answer.
Bon Jovi thrills another generation. ;)
