Well everyone's TVs where I live have been down for past 5 hours this is due to a transmitter getting struck by lightning and catching fire ?? my kids esp the 1s have been upset not been able to watch TV today but I have done what I do best put my cancer screening test to the back of my mind and had a full afternoon of activities etc with them I'm knacked ???? I will possibly climb into bed later and have a good cry when my kids are asleep ???

    Years ago we’d use a cardboard box with back cut out as a theatre, coloured and decorated. Then we’d make ‘actors’ from card on sticks and make a little show. Good fun and takes time to make. May fill some time till tv comes back on?
    Just a thought. ?
