So. Snow. DH's bus got him home 2 hours after ETA, his dinner had been in the oven for some time (can't hold off forever with 2 hungry DSs to feed, plus DH likes his dinner more or less on the table when he comes home so I have to take a guess when to start cooking it).

When he came in, the phone had just rung, someone looking for him to make up the numbers for a game, he was a bit Angry/Hmm because they had told him yesterday he wouldn't be needed, anyway he turned and went straight back out again without his dinner. He will eat out after the game. The cat got his dinner ... it was ruined anyway.

The DSs and I weren't able to use the table for their craft activities (we have 100 Christmas cards to make, infant sweatshop) because it was set up for his dinner ... none of which I would resent if he had actually sat down and eaten the bloody thing. He had a long wait for the bus and a very slow and boring journey, he didn't particularly want to go out tonite - he had even phoned them last night to see if he would be needed, because if so he would take his kit into work and not have to come home and head out again.

So ... I watched "Miranda" which he downloaded onto the iPlayer last night, on my own instead of waiting for a time when we could watch it together. Grrrr.

On the upside, the cat is Smile.

It's the "set up" table which the OP wouldn't move that seems odd.

Most people would be happy to eat dinnner at a bare table following an eventful night like the OPs had.

Sorry to destroy everyone's notion of my well-dressed table, but here's what was on it:

tablemat;
fork, knife and dessertspoon;
glass;
bottle of fizzed water;
apple juice;
bottle of wine;
ketchup;
mayonnaise;
tin of brownies;
advent candle decoration made by DS2.

Oops, I have apparently just shown myself up to be a slattern because I couldn't be bothered moving that little lot ... Xmas Blush
