up since 5 and so far with kids cleaned up, played with clay, baked and decorated cake and oh god its only 9am DH back from business at 12 what am i going to do for the next 3 hrs lol

PS dc1 has hit the why phase - where is the off button!

If there is I haven't found it.

Park maybe, painting if all else fails what about a DVD for the kids and sit back and relax.

I think you're allowed to stick the telly on for half an hour and have a cup of tea. How old are the kids, can they not play without you for a bit?

Tell them to build a fort with the sofa cushions and retire to the kitchen/bed.

Leave the kids to entertain themselves.

Make yourself a cup of tea and watch tv/MN for half an hour or so.

You've done what?
FFS it's Saturday, that translates as PJs and DVD day.
Put on a DVD, get the TV to babysit and you sit down with a brew and wear earplugs.

I cave, tangled is on the dvd player my tea is made im now sat with one on each side chilling thanks mumsnet for permission

I would walk them to the newsagent, buy them a 20p mix and come back and put the telly on.
