Did you get to bed at a reasonable hour or watch the football @watchPhone? I figured the result would be the same whether i watched or not, so hit the hay about 8pm, early even by my standards.

That pizza looks mouth watering @Mumtobabyhavoc Do I remember you sharing an easy dough recipe on here once?

You do not seem to have put your feet up a great deal @Peridot1....are you still on a high? Hope you have a peaceful weekend planned!

👋 @mumharassed you stick with us! I saw that thread. I'm glad it was taken down - it was nasty! I didn't realise it was aimed at you to begin with but could see it was aimed at someone.

I'm glad you got DD out to the ponies. Some take to it and some don't, but even a small pony looks huge at first. If the people in charge get it right and the ponies are suitable, it can build enormous confidence over time. I did a lot of that in a past life ❤️

Best wishes to everyone and all those they are supporting and caring for 💐

GSCEs must be almost over?

I must be out of the door by 8am and not even up yet. Had a two hour 'awake window' from 2am and learnt from menopause board that it could be an HRT patch change timing fail. Apparently best to change it in the morning. Something to do with cortisol spike a few hours after applying.

Have a great day everyone ☕️ 🍰

I have not even thought of a thing to stay done thing yet 🤔

Hi everyone, its mumofone

After a campaign of harassment against me (and my gifs) i deleted my account

Was probably a bit dramatic of me but I got really upset 😩.

MNHQ didnt bother taking action against the thread attacking me for a day, but deleted my comment back within seconds. Plus they didnt reach out to me to check i'm okay.

So anyway, i deleted and I've popped back on just to say I'll see you all soon.

I cant even catch up on the thread because its an infinite scroll thing and its a faff to sort it!

Love to you all, this thread is magic and got me through some crappy days, so thank you.

And thanks to you lot, especially @WinterFrogs my dd had her first horse riding lesson!! She hated it 😄😄😄😄 and refused to go on the horse or pet him, so will keep trying, despite the eyewatering cost 😩😩

See you soon i'm sure - for now i'm back reading - Jack Kerouac, On The Road, which is putting me in mind to take a road trip with my girl (a sanitised road trip, with lots of snafka and screen time 🙈 but still)

Forgot to send my best to your mum, you and the family @FourSeasonsLobelia - may this time pass quickly and you be reunited with her, safe and well, soon x

❤️❤️

That's a lot of yard work Peridot!

That does look good @Mumtobabyhavoc.

Hello all

Very muggy day here today.

Yesterday’s list was pretty much completed except for tidying the utility room.

Today I changed DS’s bed and did his bathroom as he is in London today. Did laundry. Helped DH put supermarket shop away. Did more laundry. Did some weeding and watered the gravel garden. One more section to do along the fence and that’s the weeding done. Need to really keep on top of it as noticed a thistle about six inches high in a bed I did last week. And we have had a mole in the bed too. I h e some bags of mulch to put down once the weeding is finished. And a few more plants to plant. Four plants I put in last week are already not looking happy. With everying going on over the weekend I forgot to water them.

Just having a quick sit down before tidying the kitchen quickly as we have the guy who installed it coming to add in a piece of worktop behind the stove where we have a gap as we changed the stove a few months ago.

Hope all is well with @FourSeasonsLobelia. Thinking of you.

Pizza update: Havoc said, "Mmmmm yummy. This is so good!" ✅✅✅✅

So far the remote seems to be ok. 🤞
I've vacuumed, baked a banana bread and made a pizza. The pizza is tomato sauce, asparagus, rocket, ground beef and mixed cheeses. Let's see if it passes the dc test. 😬
I bought another hair dye while out today. 🙄
I took a good look at my results from the last one. I'm unsure how I missed so much of my hair, including most of my hairline. I'm going to apply the new one very carefully and hope for the best.

Oh my! Let’s hope it was already on a World Cup channel!
@WinterFrogs I am counting down the minutes till I can go to bed💤💤

Mumtobabyhavoc · 17/06/2026 20:37

Yes, feeling much better today thanks Winter. ☺️ I think it's been a cold since last week.
You've got an impressive list Peridot. I count usual tasks as well.

Havoc just washed (!!!!) a remote control.
Under the tap.

Hope you feel bit better today @Mumtobabyhavoc Your food sounds very wholesome!

Busy bee @Peridot1! Does not sound restful. You'll feel good when it's all done though.

Very humid here today. I have been drippy sweating because I have been busy again ( helping with a move)

My cooking yesterday means that dinner is sorted for the week, and shared some with the movers too.

I'm knackered and want it to be bedtime already 😴

Peridot1 · 17/06/2026 09:09

Morning all.

Hope everything is ok with @FourSeasonsLobelia and her mum.

@WinterFrogs - slowly getting back to normal. Council recycling collection is today. We have four crates of bottles out. Probably two more to go next time. Need to clean a folding table we borrowed from next door and return it with random other bits. Trestle tables and other things to someone else. Drinks fridge to someone else. I also have a pile of platters, plates and bowls to put away.

Yesterday I washed hall floor as a new rug was arriving. Also washed kitchen floor. Today I will do dining and sitting areas. Cleaner is in later to do bathrooms although annoyingly DS’s train was cancelled so he decided not to go up to London today so his bathroom won’t get done.

Today:

  • usual kitchen/dishwasher
  • laundry
  • change a bed and wash bedding
  • wash floors
  • clean next door’s table
  • put rug pad under new hall rug
  • tidy utility room

Have a great day all.

Mumtobabyhavoc · 17/06/2026 03:28

Have now taken an iron pill. ✅
Kids are semi-interested in cold pasta with feta, rocket and prawns, some sliced cheese from a mixed cheese platter I buy from Costco and running up and down the hall- fighting now, I think- and the laundry just finished.

OP posts:
Mumtobabyhavoc · 17/06/2026 03:08

Very tired and unmotivated since getting home around 4pm. Haven't "made" dinner, but put together a fruit plate (grapes, Mandarin oranges, strawberries), naan with hummus and hard-boiled eggs.

Had kids at playground for an hour after med appt and drive home took an hour as traffic is awful. Baby had an epic poo going up back which ended up on the bath mat, towels and floor so that all went into laundry and I washed floors; gave baby a bath and washed tub.
I'm fighting a mild cold and I think I need to get back on an iron supplement as well.
Just waiting for laundry to finish then I'm going to take the kids to the beach for a bit and catch the sunset.

Just about to head out here to go to pharmacy to pick up injection for my mum, to doctor for her and said injection then me at same doctor for on-going (non-serious, but annoying) foot issue.

It is very windy out. 💨🍃
The wind chimes on my deck are chiming furiously. 🎶

WinterFrogs · 16/06/2026 20:22

How very cool @watchPhone I'm glad you had a good time. Amused me about you being the only one not filming. I can relate. I do not want to see my face under a magnifying glass. Best not to know. I am at my most beautiful straight out of the shower without my specs.

Are you coming back down to earth @Peridot1 and resting up?

Am weary. Today involved stairs, shredding, dust and cooking, in no particular order. Driven a few miles too.

Shower curtain ✔️
Fridge ❌

Usual routine ✔️

@FourSeasonsLobelia Flowers

Busy weekend - I went to see The Weeknd with a couple of teens on Friday as a 'responsible adult' but we had a fab time - I may have been the only one of 48K NOT filming it for SM. Spent the rest of the weekend getting rid of all the dust from the work done on bathroom and doing the final bits - putting a blind up and sorting out toiletries and towels. 😃
Today

  • swapping some pictures around in and out of frames and then will hang them back up.
  • tools back in shed
  • I am always looking for something! Need to find a magnifying mirror I have and I am still looking for the stereo power supply 😄 EDITED: Found both HURRAH 😄Maybe I will find all my lost grippy socks now 😄
  • need to send back some signed paper work relating for pension
Tiny list today, am going to listen to some soothing music and look at my old wrinkly face in all it's magnified horror, have a good one, SoE
Peridot1 · 15/06/2026 10:15

Morning all.

Hope the news re your mum is good @FourSeasonsLobelia.

Liking the tea AND a g&t combo @RunningKatie.

Still in post bbq clear up here. About to take bread rolls to the food bank. Glasses and unused beers back to Majestic. Tables, chairs, crockery etc are about to be picked up. Just did usual kitchen/dishwasher tidy.

Otherwise plan for the day is pretty slow. A bit of gardening. DH will hose the patio down so we can move furniture back into position. House is slowly getting back to normal. As are we!

Have a great day all.

WinterFrogs · 15/06/2026 07:38

I quite like how you covered all bases with tea and g&t @RunningKatie 😆

Thinking of you all!

I need to pull out the fridge/freezer today and clean behind and on top. Might wash shower curtain too.

petalpower · 14/06/2026 21:31

Any news on your mum @FourSeasonsLobelia ? Hope you’re bearing up.

Mumtobabyhavoc · 14/06/2026 21:12

Not much done here, btw, so well done to everyone getting things done today. Glad your party went well Peridot. Sorry, I couldn't make it. 😁

Just helped my mum with her bath then exercises. She's cleaning the kitchen from brunch for me as it's already 28c and I don't want to add humidity by running the dishwasher. It is very pleasant inside atm with fans on in all the rooms and a bit breezy outside. I really don't want to go out, but the dc are looking forward to the spray park and a festival. I've got soccer on tv.

mumofoneAloneandwell · 14/06/2026 20:53

Me and dd are waiting for her to drop off

At a normalish time!

SingleThreadJoiner2 · 14/06/2026 20:40

.... Or just a mug of g&t @RunningKatie ?! 😁😁 Sending you a virtual cheers, I'm just having a little digestiv myself 🥂

RunningKatie · 14/06/2026 20:21

Thinking of you @FourSeasonsLobelia and your family, hope that you've got everything sorted should you need to jump on the plane.
Congrats on the BBQ @Peridot1 - glad to hear all went well.
Busy day here out and about with dc1, I've now sat down with a mug of tea and a G&T. Quite fancy going and getting my pyjamas on and it's not even 8.30pm. Really should be prepping for work and school tomorrow but I'd love a nap!

Mumtobabyhavoc · 14/06/2026 19:56

Thinking about you, your mum and dad @FourSeasonsLobelia It is definitely a worry at the turn of events, but luckily she is in hospital getting care. Is your dad okay on his own? Try and stay calm and focused. Sending love and support. 🩷💐

OP posts:
WinterFrogs · 14/06/2026 19:36

Best wishes @FourSeasonsLobelia ❤️ 💐

I am so happy to hear it went well @Peridot1 🥳

SingleThreadJoiner2 · 14/06/2026 13:59

And congrats @Peridot1 and H! Sounds epic!

Jobs done this morning - bought much needed new shoes for D, and booked a thing to do with visiting family next weekend.

Still on the mental load list - sorting out a few things for the summer PTA event...
