Sitting in the hotel bar drinking a rather nice scotch!!

Pinkfreedom · 14/09/2025 20:40

Watching Ghosts in my bedroom (the TV show, I don't have special powers.
Just eaten a plate of crackers while listening to the heavy rain.
Shower soon then early night.
I will put on a "sounds of waves on a beach" type thing on youtube to send me to sleep.

I blooming hate wet Sundays.

ChirpyDreamer · 14/09/2025 20:39

Driving home from Bristol after watching the Red Roses smash Scotland. Had a fab weekend of Women’s rugby as also watched Canada vs Australia yesterday. DH is driving - not me!

FatAmy123 · 14/09/2025 20:36

Oh and I asked ds to go and get me crisps, I asked for smoky bacon and he brought me beef hula hoops so I’ve had to make do!

FatAmy123 · 14/09/2025 20:35

Ahh I love these threads, it’s like a little glimpse into everyone’s worlds ☺️

I’m trying to relax before a big week. We’ve eaten a roast chicken dinner with all the trimmings, I’m in bed with my ds who’s 7 but has additional needs. He’s calming down after a hyper few hours. We’re snuggled up and he’s watching someone on YouTube opening tiny toys on his iPad.
My DD17 and DH are watching tv downstairs, my DD14 is in the bath and my DS19 is packing his stuff 😩 he moves to uni on Wednesday! I’ve done a food shop for him with lots of cupboard staples and it’s bagged up ready to go. Feels so surreal.
I’m so excited for him. But a bit sad for me because I will really miss him and I’m quite anxious about how he’ll get on because he has health issues. Just trying to keep all my feelings in perspective and concentrate on being proud, positive and pleased for him. I’ll blatantly cry all the way home when we drop him off though!!

Sat on my bed watching an old interview between David Letterman and Robert Downey Jr., the love of my life. Contemplating sneaky cheese on toast.

Watching Educating Yorkshire and eating a kitkat

Had a nice shower after a day of kid wrangling, bowling, 5pm run 🏃‍♀️ then 3x kids bedtime. In my PJs and dressing gown which I rarely wear, making a jacket potato, going to watch telly! 🥰 love rain and the dark outside ❤️
Going to buy some bday presents for DS and peruse some waterproof running gear while I watch tv! Then got to do my NYTimes puzzles (love them so much 😄). Lush!

Do you like the new one with dominos?

I love it.

AuldTheDeepMinded · 14/09/2025 20:30

Watching educating Yorkshire in bed. Youngest and I have just shared a bowl if ice-cream. I have the sniffles and started a late period today, so feeling a bit under par

ILikeDinosaurs · 14/09/2025 20:30

Curled up rewatching Stranger Things from scratch. So much better the 2nd time round!

dontforgetme · 14/09/2025 20:28

Just waiting for the kids to brush their teeth and get into bed, something that should take 10 mins at absolute max takes forever! I have a pizza cooking. Find something to watch for an hour or 2 then hit the sack before it all starts again in the morning. Weekends go too bloody quick.

Didimum · 14/09/2025 20:27

Been swimming, to a Sunday pub lunch and then I laid on the bed with the cat for the early evening. Getting kids to bed then will have a glass of wine while me and DH have a cuddle on sofa and finish a film.

GreenCandleWax · 14/09/2025 20:26

Went to a lovely choral evensong with specially brought together choir of mixed male and female voices - the music was gorgeous. Afterwards little refreshments and glass of wine, and chats with lovely people. Very life enhancing.😃

Cleanthatup · 14/09/2025 20:25

Just finishing up dinner. Fixed my hair as it looked a mess and at least when I straighten it for work I look a little less tired.

DD1&2 both went back to uni mid week so the house is quite with just me DS and DH. Everyone’s in their own spaces doing their own thing now so I think I’ll watch that new series - Coldwater.

Then prob go to bed early watch more tv and sleep around 11ish.

LaughingCat · 14/09/2025 20:23

We were going to set up our bedroom with the cot and everything for the nursery today but we’ve both come down with Covid! Feeling pants so watching Helluva Boss and sniffling instead.

mumofoneAloneandwell · 14/09/2025 20:20

No rain here in london 😪

In bed with dd who isnt tired yet

Having some toast before my diet starts for the millionth time tomorrow

Watching two doors down but will watch the itv thriller at 9pm, providing dd drops off by then 😪

DoubtfulCat · 14/09/2025 20:14

We’ve had the fire in too this afternoon. I did some knitting earlier and made chutney with the tomatoes that aren’t going to ripen now, and we had a lovely risotto that used stock and the leftover gravy from the roast we ate yesterday.*

Now alternating between my book, Vinted, and Mumsnet.

*I discovered that this makes Saturday feel like Sunday, so Sunday feels like a bonus weekend day 😎

Whateverwillwedonow · 14/09/2025 20:12

Sat with under a blanket listening to music and scrolling mumsnet. I think that I’m coming down with something, Covid has been doing the rounds at work but hopefully just run down.

MudandMoet · 14/09/2025 20:10

Baby in bed, just eaten a big bowl of slow cooked beef and mash and now starting a ridiculous sized bag of pick n mix from Xscape yesterday while watching antiques roadshow (mumsnetting/vinteding). Love hearing the rain and wind outside and being cosy and settled inside.

NightsinthegardensofSpain · 14/09/2025 20:07

Catching up on tv I've missed..eating a mince pie.
Heating is on for the first time this season!

Procrastination4 · 14/09/2025 20:04

Catching upon Episode 6 of The Traitors Ireland, and possibly Episode 7 and then bed before 11. That’s the plan anyway!🤞

Arlanymor · 14/09/2025 20:04

Just finished batch cooking and now enjoying a glass of wine while the torrential rain continues outside (all of the drains here are flooded - even crossing the road you wade through water here). Also a few people have pointed me to a job on LinkedIn tonight that I am seriously considering applying for... I am happy where I am but the money is heaps better, I know some of the people already and my job will come to an end when our organisation closes in 2028. So am seriously pondering...

Handsewing a 13th century under tunic, based on the st Louis relic.

Oh wow, show please?

Im watching The Girlfriend on Prime and waiting for a cherry clafoutis to be ready.

Teddy589 · 14/09/2025 20:02

Final evening of our week off before we go back to work tomorrow. We’ve had a homemade cheeseburger and chips for tea, with a sneaky small glass of wine. Watching a show on C4 about the making of white chocolate digestives - super easy Sunday night viewing!
