OK, my five-month-old normally wakes up at about 6am and goes to bed anywhere between 7.30 - 8.30pm. My DP works shifts so one week he's home for dinner and the next he's not. When he's not, I find it quite tricky to cook dinner just for me before DD has gone to bed and then I'm too buggered by the time she's gone to bed.

I'm thinking perhaps I should just have dinner a lot earlier - say 5pmish.

What do other people do and what d'you cook? I used to be quite the gourmet before having DD but these days meat and two veg is about all I can stretch to!

Interested in how other people handle the dinner scenario.
