Lacking a bit of inspiration this weekend, what is everyone else up to?

Cleaning, walk dog, do food shop for us and DM and drop hers to her.
DH ironing and get dinner and he will go for a run.

@teaandtoastwithmarmite thank you! It’s been an ambition of mine. I love the idea but not sure I can do two rhythms at once. 😂

NotQuiteNorma · 21/01/2024 09:34

Well at the moment I'm still lying in bed farting while DH has been at work since 5am. I'm about to run a nice bath then do a bit of life admin before getting dinner prepared for this evening, a nice Paneer curry. So there.

Everyone is doing so many interesting sounding things. I'm just getting over Covid and am pleased I actually went out for the first time yesterday to do some shopping. First time in 17 days as I'd had a cold in the run up to the virus. Today is a stormy day and I'm happy to sit inside, watch the birds on the feeders, play with my dog and just chill.

MummyMamaMe · 20/01/2024 18:24

Today was a nice day as I went to see my friend with my toddler and she made us lunch and it was nice to spend time together and talk 😊 She gave me some presents for my birthday next week as well 🥰

I’m not sure about tomorrow yet but I’m a SAHM so I’ll be doing stuff with my toddler and I might get some tidying done too 🤔

teaandtoastwithmarmite · 20/01/2024 18:03

@43ontherocksporfavor erm well I started them a couple of years ago. Wanted to learn an instrument and I thought it seemed quite difficult so DH got me a lesson and I took to it quite well and enjoyed it. I have days where I'm thinking this is great and others where I can't do it at all. It's £18 for 30 mins and it's a room in a music shop. What else would you like to know?

mindutopia · 20/01/2024 17:38

Tidied out the greenhouse, went to buy animal feed, mucked out several animals, very windy family walk, Dh did some building work with dc ‘helping.’

Tomorrow I need to do early farm chores to sort everything out before the storm comes and shit blows around, then I’d like to go to the garden centre for tea, cake and seed shopping, and Dh might take one dc to do indoor climbing. Then we should really take the Christmas tree down because we still haven’t done it and it’s getting embarrassing now. 😂

RM2013 · 20/01/2024 17:20

This morning I did an overtime shift at work 07.30-14.00. Home and did a long dog walk. Making food later and we will have a family night with our teens - we usually have a few snacks, drink and play cards and listen to music - we try and do this once a week.

tomorrow I have a double session at the gym and then DH wants to go shopping to pick ip
a few bits as he’s scheduled to have an op next week

43ontherocksporfavor · 20/01/2024 17:17

@teaandtoastwithmarmite tell me about drum lessons.

43ontherocksporfavor · 20/01/2024 17:17

@G40NEW my go- to guilty pleasure watch. Had to go back and rewatch after the up to date And Just Like That.

teaandtoastwithmarmite · 20/01/2024 16:46

I'm about to go into the gym. Today I went to slimming world, met some friends for breakfast as it was one of them's birthday, sorted some crap drawers in the house, went for my drum lesson. Tomorrow is cleaning the bathroom and going to see my mum.

G40NEW · 20/01/2024 16:38

Today I had a driving lesson, did a food shop, went for a run. Needed something new to watch so opted to rewatch Sex and the City, not sure if it will have aged badly but enjoyed the nostalgia from the first couple of episodes.

i am now laid in the bath, this evening is a curry and mindless Saturday night tv. Most likely gladiators and masked singer.

tomorrow is my cleaning day so I have the upstairs of the house to do, I will strip the beds and wash all the towels as well

will aim to do another run tomorrow as really need to work on my fitness.

going to make a slow cooked minted lamb stew with veg, mash and Yorkshire pudding for tomorrow evening and probably try and lure the kids off their computers with some board games we haven’t opened from Christmas yet

InMySpareTime · 20/01/2024 16:30

Making set for a Scouts show. I volunteer to put myself through all this weirdness!

43ontherocksporfavor · 20/01/2024 16:18

Sounds fun @InMySpareTime im guessing you work in stage production of some sort

InMySpareTime · 20/01/2024 09:04

Today I'm painting the gates of heaven, building a human scale Barbie box, fitting a "recording" light to a recording studio, taping together a very long word on a scrolling sign, and checking the paint on some wood effect wooden buckets hasn't chipped.
Tomorrow I'm resting after morning church.

Forgettheworld · 20/01/2024 08:05

DS 5 is at his swimming lesson this morning then at his friends birthday party.
probably have a walk and park this afternoon. Chinese for tea.

Tomorrow DS 11 is playing football, DS 5 at another birthday party.

Hoglet70 · 20/01/2024 08:00

DH is working all weekend but I have exciting plans like housework, dog walking, maybe getting my laptop out and doing a bit of work. Oh the excitement never ends! The dog has just reminded me she needs me to squeeze some cuddles in to my packed weekend schedule so there may be some vegetating in front of the TV (covered in dog) happening too.

SuspiciousLampshade · 20/01/2024 07:17

I am defending my PhD on Monday, not in the uk so its a bit more intense than a Viva - so I'll be spending the whole weekend preparing for that! Will also try and get out on some walks and I have our two DC Sunday morning as DH is off to a christening on his side of the family and kids aren't invited (which I think is a bit strange for a christening but hey ho)

So nice to read about everyone else's plans!

OldTinHat · 20/01/2024 07:17

My plans have been postponed because of the weather warning, so I'm also scratching my head about what to do. So far, all I've come up with is a walk to the chemist this morning to pick up my prescription.

I think, other than that, I'll mostly drink wine.

whyamiawakestill · 20/01/2024 07:02

Love these.

For me test drive a new car, food shopping, driving and collecting teens from a party. Sunday working on our renovation project, dog walk and pub. Just debating booking a roast dinner out with friends but we are spending a bit much eating out as I can't be arsed to cook!

MrsToothyBitch · 20/01/2024 07:00

We are away for the weekend- so driving there, meeting up with friends and shopping for nice cheese for tonights cheese and wine today. Then walking, brunch and heading home tomorrow. Will do some life admin en route. Just got up to pack and wash hair.

Sandytoxic · 20/01/2024 06:48

Saturday - parkrun, bits of shopping for meals, dog walk, evening dance class

Seren2023 · 20/01/2024 06:26

DC have activities in the morning but it’s drop off so I am having a much-needed massage for neck and back pain.

Then supermarket for weekly shop and people coming round for drinks and dinner Sat night so need to tidy and clean house a bit more. 😊it’s ok standard right now but not guest-ready. 🤣

Tomorrow, need to do some exercise so might take DC swimming and also have some work to finish up. As well as a bit of vegging out on the sofa!

Slightly Resent doing the work at a weekend but really busy at work right now So not much choice - need to look at managing my time better. Holy Grail.

tobee · 20/01/2024 01:35

Dh and I going for dinner and then movie tomorrow night.

Sunday dunno yet. Probably spend morning thinking what to cook. Then rushing to shop to buy ingredients. Then cooking. Then the excitement of doing online supermarket order and putting out the bins.
