I should either be cleaning, as my mum is coming this afternoon to stay for a few days, or doing something wholesome with the toddler. Instead I am sitting down MNing, and helping DS with the Numberblocks game on the tablet.

(Kitchen is clean, bedding changed, online shop away, upstairs hoovered so the house isn't a total flea pit but I need to dust, wipe the shutters and clean the en suite. Sigh. Boredom).

I am drinking my birthday Baileys a bit early Grin
I should be photographing things to list on Ebay and doing housework. I don't feel like it.

Daily chores
Mini Tesco shop
Library book needs returning
Curtains

I’m here instead and eating

I should definitely be doing some housework, but instead I'm still in my pyjamas watching 600lb life and MNetting while thinking about going to the gym! Have loaded the dishwasher and the first (of many) load of washing is just about to finish.

I should be job hunting. I need a job. I want a job but I'm losing heart of finding anything at all..... I suspect my age is against me (52) although of course no potential employer would admit that. I'll keep ploughing away as I need some sort of autonomy from my DH but for now I am having a cuppa and MNetting.

I am having breakfast after going back to bed when DC had gone to school. I should be emptying the dishwasher and washing machine, tidying up because DC got out all the toys over the past couple of days while I was working and not in the house and awake for enough time to tidy them all, ironing or DC will have nothing to wear tomorrow.

thewinehasgonetomyhead · 12/02/2019 10:37

I’ve just put the baby down for a nap and instead of tidying up and sorting washing I’m sitting in her cosy room on MN. To be fair I do this every time —especially at bedtime after the carnage of the day—

thewinehasgonetomyhead · 12/02/2019 10:38

Strikethough fail there.

fleshmarketclose · 12/02/2019 10:43

I would normally be walking the dog but she's at the vets having a dental. I should be tidying the kitchen now I've had breakfast but in fact I'm sitting with my feet up watching the robovac cleaning the floors considering that it looks like I've been productive when I've not and can't clean the kitchen until it's finished as I will just get in the way so I have a good reason to be doing nothing but browsing MN with the radio on.

CaseofEllen · 12/02/2019 10:48

I should be washing up and hoovering but I'm now running a bath with foam and crystals! I'm 35 weeks pregnant and exhausted 💤 luckily DP understands and doesn't expect the house to be spotless even when he's been at work all day!

I'm at work... I was checking warehouse loading invoices against our stock spreadsheet but its sooooo boring... so I came on here instead Grin

SagelyNodding · 12/02/2019 10:53

Sofa, coffee, mn... I should be doing the washing up and some laundry, working on my masters assignment and 'interacting' with my DC... Who are happily playing upstairs.
I will do better later-we're going shopping for hiking gear then making sushi, and tomorrow we're doing a long hike in the mountains, so a lazy morning is fine with me!

namechange21 · 12/02/2019 10:58

I should be working out then making soup then getting ready to take the kids to the cinema.

Instead I’m upstairs laying on my bed craving chocolate!

Racecardriver · 12/02/2019 10:59

I should be reading about EU law right now (no thank you!) but mn is much more diverting.

scottiesheep · 12/02/2019 11:01

Lying in bed. Should either be napping (catching up on sleep - 29 weeks Preg and bad spd/insomnia keeping me up) or taking this opportunity with the toddler at nursery to get through my list of jobs.

Today I was planning to go through his baby stuff so I can set it up in baby's room / start packing hospital bag. High risk pregnancy so been advised to be ready

RussellSprout · 12/02/2019 11:04

I'm pissing about on the internet at work.

I should be administering a redundancy project and booking people in for consultation meetings, but due to delays by managers in deciding who to retain I can't go any further than I already have so I'm just twiddling my thumbs while waiting for updates.

AmIOTTconcerned · 12/02/2019 11:10

Another one on the sofa with a coffee!

I'm passing time while DD2 plays happily in her room until I have to leave to collect DD1 from preschool. Then it's home for lunch and back out to try a new tots gym group.

Basic chores are done but there's so much hidden clutter I need to sort through and organise. MN overruled.

SauvingnonBlanketyBlanc · 12/02/2019 11:13

Should be getting ready for work but I'm sat on MN eatin g chocolate hobnobs

NoWayNoHow · 12/02/2019 11:40

I should be drafting a Brexit-related email to employees, but need info from other colleagues first so am pootling on MN while I wait :-)

BoogleMcGroogle · 12/02/2019 12:01

I'm in the sofa with a cup of tea. Should be writing my PhD thesis. But I'm 4 years in and bored.
