Nothing as of yet. My husband got stuck in the snow and had to walk to a pub to get a room. Home with my poorly one year old and two year old

WoogleCone · 02/02/2019 08:24

Going to work soon, I don't want to take my PJs off :(

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 02/02/2019 08:24

Trying to get DS out the door to school 🙄

gallicgirl · 02/02/2019 08:24

Drinking coffee in bed.
DH at work, DD still asleep thank goodness because she's a grumpy sod in the morning. DS has been awake since 7:15 and is watching TV, giving me a bit of peace.
Will be pottering around at home probably. Do a bit of housework. Might make muffins.

HemlockStarglimmer · 02/02/2019 08:29

Drinking mocha, listening to the laundry sloshing around in the machine, looking out at the snow and slate grey sea.
Generally enjoying the fact that I have no urgent need to go out today ❄️

Got up, put the heating on, got on MN. I do want to pop to the shop for the newspaper and a couple of bits but I think we'll stay in all day.

username10001 · 02/02/2019 08:41

I was up early ds was sick , so changed bedding cleaned him up and back to bed for a bit . Just got up again and ds on sofa . I've my nails appointment this afternoon so I'm going to have to cancel or see if I can get someone to watch ds as dh working. Other than that no need to go out would love to relax in the warm it's been a busy week .

MillieMoodle · 02/02/2019 08:42

For the first Saturday in ages DH and DS1 don't have football this morning, so I was hoping for a lie in, but both DC were up at 5.45am. Just had tea and toast. Going to make another cup of tea then shower. Job for today is to sort out the spare room - it's a bit of a dumping ground and DH is getting twitchy about it. Might do some work as well so that next week isn't quite so manic.

EnglishRose1320 · 02/02/2019 08:44

Hockey training was meant to start at 9 but has thankfully been cancelled, wouldn't have been able to get there anyway, my street looks much like an ice rink at the moment.
So rather than rushing around to get the boys out the house I am now planning a lazy start to the day. May do some pancakes for a brunch, then oh will take eldest off to his club just before midday and I'll stay here with the youngest. We may bake, play board games or watch films with a little bit of housework thrown into the mix.

Rockbird · 02/02/2019 08:45

In bed. DH has just brought me tea and toast. His day has been cancelled but he didn't want to go anyway so he's happy. DD1 reading, DD2 watching tv. All quiet and peaceful.

RosieposiePuddingandPi · 02/02/2019 08:45

Just having a cuppa and then getting ready to take DS and DH into town for breakfast with the grandparents at a little local cafe.
Not sure after that, probably somewhere to tire out DS and then a bit of shopping. A simple one for us I think.

Methyl · 02/02/2019 08:47

I'm Down Under. So ridiculously hot here. Took DS to a birthday party. One kid collapsed. Another vomited. Lots cried. Too hot to have them running around. The cake melted. We came home and I took all my clothes off and lay under the air con. Your cold weather sounds bloody tempting about now!

lucysmam · 02/02/2019 08:48

Just having a cup of coffee then off up to get dressed for work. I love my weekend job so don't mind needing to be up on a Saturday

The girls are spending the day with Dad so I've put a uniform wash on that I'll get him to dry & he'll do homework with dd2. Dd1's off for a sleepover at nanna's tonight.

Livingthedream12345 · 02/02/2019 08:49

Still in bed. Very chilly.
Need to do some work today then off out to a village quiz night; raising money to fund a guide dog. Our village has some lovely residents!

EngagedAgain · 02/02/2019 08:50

I'm still in bed, putting off going to the loo as heating not been on long! Looks like most of us are enjoying a lay/lie in. Pedants- is it lay or lie in? Whilst I'm on this thread, I've been reminded as OP as used it twice - what does that turned on end rectangle, with a cross in the middle mean? Just started noticing it recently.

KaleidoscopeEyes · 02/02/2019 08:53

Usually I work a disgustingly long shift on a Saturday.... But today I'm going out on the all day lash in Liverpool with about 15 women. I'm excited and apprehensive in equal measure Grin

Stormwhale · 02/02/2019 08:53

Not much happening here yet. I got up with dd at 7, she is still eating her breakfast. Dh has just got up and is eating his. He is going to see some friends and is taking dd with so I might go back to bed when they go out. I'm pregnant and knackered so any excuse for a nap!

gallicgirl · 02/02/2019 08:54

I think it's where Mumsnet doesn't support the chosen emoji.

Floralnomad · 02/02/2019 08:56

I’m drinking tea and watching T20 cricket on Sky , have put a load of washing on and will take the dog out in a little while . Then I’ve got to pick up a prescription and get some panini rolls for lunch . Dh has gone to tile the utility room at my sisters which explains our early start .

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 02/02/2019 08:57

On my second cup of coffee and I’m not even dressed yet 😱.
This never happens unless I’m sick!☺️

CalmConfident · 02/02/2019 08:58

Another Hockey cancelled pancake eating house..just like Englishrose👍

Bestseller · 02/02/2019 08:59

It's the final fixture of the county cross country league today. We have an outside chance of promotion, so I shall be running 8k on muddy hills, through streams, snow (slush here) and puddles. Its alao forecast to sleet all day.

Can't wait Grin

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 02/02/2019 09:02
