I've spent most of last week with a sick cranky 3 year old, missing his grandmother and with a bad cough/cold/fever. Fortunately all is well now other than me being left with a hacking cough.
In the middle of it all, I was very pleased with Virgin's YouTube on the TV thingie. The sick child has watched endless reruns of Peppa Pig, including one hour long compilations, Peppa Pig in Spanish (on his insistence) and so on. We dont subscribe to the paid for Nick Jr etc anymore so this was a blessing, at least for the week.
Not over the moon with Virgin's services though, BT was much better for phone and Talk Talk for the internet. Their promised fibreoptic broadband was the reason we switched, and its almost the same as TalkTalk........however, the TV service is much much better than Sky. We've had Sky for years now, and dont miss it at all now. There is much more variety and features with the box and of course, if you havent already twigged by now, YouTube!
The children have spent an hour today dancing to 'We Didn't Start the Fire' after a school assembly which started off a chain of Billy Joel songs. Need to get them onto Dire Straits next time! Will leave Lenny Kravitz for a bit though.
