Just being nosey and quite bored 😅

So..me, mid 40’s, live abroad, sat on balcony drinking a Somersby, Dd, 7 will come up to bed in a minute and we’ll do bedtime story. I’ll probably come back on the balcony when she’s asleep. Dh going out

Anyone else? Vague age, area, plans? Sm shows me everyone is out and my road is very quiet

Early 30s, Midlands (England), sat on the sofa miserable as fuck because I’m 33 weeks pregnant and I’m in pain (back, ribs, weird nerve damage).
Spent the day trying to upcycle a cot.
I’d love to be on a balcony abroad right now. I feel so stressed and overwhelmed I could cry.

Early 50s, in Wales. Husband is away, I’ve just eaten girl dinner and I’m snacking on a few olives with a G&T.

Early 40s currently sitting with youngest dc while he falls asleep. We are at home in our 200yr old stone cottage in rural Scotland. It’s warm and wet outside.

Same age as you, in a town in Scotland. I've just read a chapter of The Queen's Nose to my 8 and 6 year olds, said goodnight, heading to the community garden to do some watering and put the chickens into their coop for the night.

Mid 40s, just had a chip shop tea now watching Britain's Got Talent with teenage DD.

Mid 50s a bit poorly and in bed. Kids are quiet, husband is downstairs with the dog and making me tea.

Mid thirties and currently laying with my 3 year old till he falls asleep (yes he is old enough to do it himself and he can but I’m happy for cuddles while he wants them!)
husband is getting the baby to sleep and we will sit down with a cup of tea and some tv once all kids are asleep, no wild Saturday nights here!

UK based. Mid 30s watching tv in bed with pupper enjoying a Diet Coke. Mindfully I’m in Monaco watching the F1 on a yacht and reading books in the glorious sunshine
