Get rid of some of the junk on your windowsill to make room or put a table against the window or pretend its a house plant - you'll find a way to squeeze a couple of pots in if you want to. Just think of eating those first tomatoes of 2021 - they're the taste I look forward to all winter.

I looked back too and I was waiting for Tiny Tim to ripen on 30th May but Scarlet beat me to it.
It won't happen this year.
Wanna bet?!
Mine will be sown asap - jus a few Bush varieties to get those early tomatoes to keep me going until the main ones kick in.
JJB - if you only grow bush Tom's early - they don't stretch out as much as cordons.
Then sow your cordons when the light levels are better so you don't get leggy plants.
As soon as my cordons start producing I pick all the bush Tom's and get rid of those plants - they generally fruit over a short period while cordons will fruit for months.
Exactly the way I have done since growing windowsill toms, Scarlet. Although I will be a bit earlier with Red Robin due to Veggie's enthusiasm. I may even try sowing one or two tumblers early too. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a different variety in the seed swap.
When you say bush, Scarlet, do you mean dwarf bush, or normal bush? I steer clear of 'maincrop' bush plants as they only go outside, take up too much room and the slugs get the fruit on the ground. I can see what's going on with cordons.
