Defeats the purpose

Have several of J's friends coming over tmr for a bit of a barbie. Want to get some prep and cleaning done but L is in clingy mode. Even putting Doraemon on --he won't watch it unless it is from my lap!! Totally defeats the purpose, right?! Lol.

I don't even have a cuppa (can't get up to make one) to get me through the trauma of having to sit through an episode of Doraemon :(
