I've woken up with a headache and feel so achey from decorating and rock climbing.
I've got decorating to do, loads of tidying and cleaning and cooking but I don't feel like doing any of it!! Drove to the post office that said it was open to post friends birthday present and it was closed. Went to shop for a few bits. Have gone back to bed 🙈what are you up to today?

Nothing exciting. Bit of laundry and housework. Took DS to the park and then shopping.
Am thinking I should wash up/clean the bathroom /sort the washing but I can't be bothered so scrolling MN instead. I will be making sausage casserole for tea though

Wish I'd stayed scrolling MN. Did the washing up and a glass smashed slicing my finger. Not so bad except I'm on blood thinners and it bled for 40 minutes.
Lesson learned, next Bank Holiday I'll just relax 🤣

Not a lot happening here, the second load of washing is on the line, I changed the bed and put my winter duvet on because I was cold last night - the heating actually clicked on this morning 😵‍💫
I have very painful shoulders and upper back so I have refilled the hot water bottle several times and just quaffed another cup of tea with more painkillers.
I did walk the dog very early and DH will take her out later (I hope!)
Fridge foraging for tea, cba to cook really…..

irisheyesaresmiling7 · 26/08/2024 15:39

I was at work but it was really quiet so I asked to leave early and was allowed 😊
At home doing homework now.

Coughsweet · 26/08/2024 15:32

Am supposed to be working but Excel keeps fucking around. Keep picking up phone. Doesn’t really matter as will just keep on working into the evening until what I need to get done is done but is a bit bloody boring.

Spent this morning doing some laundry then went to visit a friend and her new baby. She made me a lovely brunch! Came home and watched (supervised) DH setting up a few things for our baby due in a few weeks (monitor & car seat & crib). Now in bed having a nap as I’m exhausted.

This evening I’ll make dinner (air fryer chops and chips) and get back in bed and watch tv! Not achieving much each day atm 😩

1AnotherOne · 26/08/2024 15:08

had an iced coffee this morning in the garden, did a treadmill workout. Showered and went to post some Vinted parcels and did a food shop (very busy!) had lunch then took my tape hair extensions out and gave my hair a good scrub 😍 been sat in the garden with dog with another iced coffee and going to go on a long walk with her soon. Will make chicken fried rice for dinner and watch some tv. No work tomorrow so feeling good!

Heading off to IKEA to do a bit of pre university retail therapy.

So much good food @CalicoPusscat !!

Lying on a beach in Thailand.

Sorry for the boast, couldn't resist....... back to work on Monday though 😭

It's the food I'm jealous of!

Funkyslippers · 26/08/2024 12:15

About to make lunch while dd2 is (hopefully) sorting out her clothes & getting rid of what she doesn't like or doesn't fit. Then we're going to the mall for a browse & a coffee. We've got into the habit of having a walk most days so we'll do that later then probably roast chicken & salad for tea

Thank you @AuntieMaud ❤️ but I always say the problems and issues other people have aren't diluted by mine. Everyone has their own issues and are still valid. Plus, I'm happy because I've fought the same cancer twice now and the chances of it ever reoccured after transplant are v, vslim👍

Yes but I mean grumbles as in silly things folk turn into serious moans. Some everyday annoying situations and gripes are really not worth frowning or stressing over.

Refereeing the DCs while DH is at work. Feel fed up today as we're usually away for BH weekends. Have absolutely no right to complain though as we were away last weekend! Just feeling very meh today about life.

Going to put a coffee on and drag the DCs out to walk the dog and snap out of it!

Susiesue61 · 26/08/2024 11:52

Worked all weekend so had a lie in, now eating a fry up in bed courtesy of DH who was out all weekend 😊 going to get up and get ready to go into town to an outdoor festival thing, can't wait for a wine! Good start to the day, dS2 has gone to his uni town for an interview and got the job 🥳 DD is playing cricket- she'll drive herself

@GreatMistakes that sounds nice. I'm already looking up LED christmas trees...

GreatMistakes · 26/08/2024 11:45

I've already taken a nap 🤟
Sausage sandwiches are cooking.

Played an intense hour of my little ponies and now watching the Grinch with DD while I'm reading a book.

Pinched myself to check it isn't Christmas.

It’s Monday, schools are back so working.

CalicoPusscat · 26/08/2024 11:42

Supermarket, shower, meeting friend in the evening but time dependent on an Amazon delivery!

AuntieMaud · 26/08/2024 11:40

Having a rare burst of enthusiasm (no idea where it's come from) so having a very long overdue sort out of clothes for the charity shop. Checked the shop is open today so that's my next move in an hour or so. 🤞

Not a great deal, our sons at school, I would normally be out and about doing things but our little girl isn’t very well, so we’ll likely stay in most of the day. Although she is napping at the moment, so she will either wake up and still feel rough, or absolutely bursting with energy.
