I love Boxing Day!

Had such a lovely day today!

Got up late, even BB slept in and 7YO was so busy checking out all his new games on the DS that peace reigned in the house until I decided at 10.45am that BB really needed to wake up - he'd gone to bed at 8pm so I really do think that 14 3/4 hours sleep is enough for any 19month old little boy!

Made a small breakfast of toast and tea for everyone then had a fight with the pressure cooker!  This poor piece of kitchen paraphernalia has been sitting on a shelf in my kitchen for the last 5 years - sadly longing for it's chance to show what it can do, only being moved for a dust down occasionally, otherwise shining dimly and longing to be used.

Of course, no instructions are left so tried a mad "Google" search for how to use it - really not much use but as my father in law swears by his pressure cooker to cook gammon joints, I felt obliged to give it a go.  One hour later we had a lovely gammon, egg, mash and carrot lunch - nom nom nom - the best Boxing Day lunch I can remember!

After the washing up, time for a trip to the local park and how cold is it out there!  Managed to stay in the house since Christmas Eve Morning, and then within 5 minutes my hands were throbbing.  Had a really good hour playing on the swings, see saw, roundabout and climbing frame.  No one else around so funtimes behaving like I'm 7 again!  And then I needed to test out the remote control helicopter and Vectron Wave - the kids can't have all the fun!

Then onto sausage roll making and buffet tea before cuddling up on the sofa with a bit of Lego building and Wii Rock Band Hero.

All in all, a lovely, relaxing and fun day!
