I've just got in from work & am drinking a coffee. When that's gone, I'll make chinese chicken curry with rice and noodles for tea.

Dd1 is in bed watching Youtube; I don't think she's realised I'm home yet.

Dd2 has been talking to me none stop since I got in about the blue bath she had, and has just gone to see if there's a film on tv to watch.

What's everyone else doing? :)

I'm in bed feeling very under the weather.

DH is feeding the DCs pizza.

DS1 is sleeping having been doing all-nighters in the library at Uni for the past few days.

DS2 is eating pizza, arguing with DD and will then resume playing Fortnite.

DD is eating pizza and will then resume dancing around the kitchen and writing in her notebook.

I just want to feel better .........

ChidiAnnaKendrick · 06/04/2019 18:23

I am doing a food shop to collect from Tesco tomorrow. DH is pottering around trying to see what we need to fix DS1s bike/the back door.
DS1 is on his PlayStation.
DS2 & DD are playing with the slime they got from Frankie & Benny’s earlier.

Will be watching a film in a bit, probably.

CarlGrimesMissingEye · 06/04/2019 18:27

Just cleaned up after an early Sunday dinner (I'm out from lunchtime tomorrow). About to get youngest on the countdown to bedtime. DH doing a bit of work. Eldest having a bit of youtube while trying to get a wobbly tooth to fall out

PlatypusPie · 06/04/2019 18:27

DH dug out the base of a fence post, looking remarkably like a Labrador scrabbling for a buried bone, whilst I made split pea and veg soup. Post lunch, he’s loaded dishwasher and now its his turn to serve on the crossword - I’ve done some laundry and booked us some tickets to the Mary Quant exhibition at the V & A next week. Now slumping on sofa , with large mug of tea, doing this .

hippoherostandinghere · 06/04/2019 18:28

DH is huffing upstairs because I snapped at him. I'm so angry with him for two reasons. 1st of all he shouted at me the other night after he came in from a night out for no reason at all.
Secondly, he made a stupid comment about not taking kids to an activity next week when I'm meant to be going out. After all I fucking do for everyone in this house, he's so fucking lazy.

DC are playing on the trampoline.

I'm seething downstairs.

Faster · 06/04/2019 18:29

I’ve just put DS to bed, DP is finishing making tea and I’m waiting patiently on the sofa to be served. It was my birthday yesterday so we’ve had a lovely day.

BobbinThreadbare123 · 06/04/2019 18:31

I'm in the car; DH driving today. Going on a family visit to his home county for some tea out. Feeling pretty knackered as we climbed a mountain earlier today and I have washed the car while DH did all the laundry. I want fish and chips!

Ragwort · 06/04/2019 18:32

DH is away for the weekend so I was looking forward to a peaceful evening in on my own, - steak and bottle of wine ready - DS (18) has just arrived home and announced he is staying in .... he never stays in on a Sat night Shock - he is currently in the bath and we have agreed to have a chinese takeaway - I have hidden my steak for another night.

Hopefully we can find something we both enjoy to watch on tv.

Tealtights · 06/04/2019 18:34

DH, kids and I watching The Martian, homemade steak and ale pie in the oven 😊

MrsPear · 06/04/2019 18:40

Well - ds2 went to football practice with h this morning while I took ds1 to a football party (the party started as footie finished in different towns). Met h and ds2 for lunch. Collected ds1. Got dropped off home by h. His brother popped in then they both disappeared. No idea when h is coming back. Currently watching cars and eating pizza for tea - Saturday night is film night and I always do hand food to eat off the sofa as a treat. I have a mountain of ironing to do when boys are in bed whilst watching tv.

MillyMollyMandie · 06/04/2019 18:47

DC5 is 28 tomorrow and has been in bed since 6.30 due to having being sedated today. He can’t wait for his birthday cake and it’s made him terribly anxious. It’s a smurf cake and he chose it 5 months ago. It’s a lot of sleeps for him to have counted dow and Due to his anxiety I have two of his Carers on duty overnight and I’ve just sent for a takeaway for us. We’re in this together.

By tomorrow evening I’ll have left on a two week holiday so I’m just finishing my packing. I’m also having a glass of wine later on. I may even have a KitKat.

Happy birthday to my darling boy. I’m so glad we got you almost 28 years ago and I’m sorry life is so hard for you. Love you lots. You’re our heart. Wouldn’t be without you ❤️

KeptTheBeachesShipwreckFree · 06/04/2019 18:48

Dc watching Operation Ouch

I'm dicking about on my laptop and my phone and having a cup of tea. I have had terrible hayfever today and feel really drowsy.

Dh is out.

IJustLostTheGame · 06/04/2019 18:49

My friend and I are watching ru Paul with wine. We'll both be snoring by 10 so we started early

mrsawhite · 06/04/2019 18:53

I love these threads!

Been at work today. Now sat watching news and looking on here. Dog is charging around the living room throwing cushions everywhere. DH is offshore at the mo. So a quiet night with a white wine or 3. Going to put some nibbles in the oven soon and watch first dates for the evening!

Hiddenaspie1973 · 06/04/2019 18:57

I've painted DDs nails, read to her and helped her make a bookmark. We've been indoors as she twisted her ankle on Thursday so couldn't walk.
We've just had Dominos. Im drinking cider whilst watching Rainman and she's cleaning her make up brushes.

labazsisgoingmad · 06/04/2019 18:58

ScreamingValenta · 06/04/2019 19:00

We watched the Grand National earlier. I've been working on my laptop and intermittently MNetting all afternoon. DH is about to take the dog out for half an hour, then he'll put the dinner on while I ring my mum, and we're going to watch a Nicolas Cage film after dinner, with a couple of beers.

The heady excitement of Saturdays chez Valenta! Grin

ScreamingValenta · 06/04/2019 19:02

MillyMollyMandie I hope your DS has a lovely birthday! Cake Cake

LesLavandes · 06/04/2019 19:04

I'm watching 'The Gilmore Girls ' on Net Flix. Nobody else here😊

Lolly34h · 06/04/2019 19:05

My baby girl is fast asleep after waking up at 5am this morning and only having a 30 minute nap all day because I've had family over. Ds is playing fortnite and I'm waiting for the documentary on 5 about the queen on channel 5 in bed! Pure bliss

user1498572889 · 06/04/2019 19:06

Sitting eating chocolate and salted caramel ice cream watching come dine with me DH is sitting opposite doing the same thing.. peaceful evening tonight as we have had our grandchildren all day 😁

FookMeFookYou · 06/04/2019 19:07

Had a productive day; up with youngest at 6:30, hung out the washing, did 30 mins of spin, de-fuzzed top to toe, fake tanned myself, applied for a job, went food shopping, did some course work. Just had dinner with DH and now chilling with my lil lady watching Peppa Pig. Just sent the eldest to bed because he's been moody and refused to get out of his pj's all day!
DH and I hoping to get the kids settled early, eat cheesecake and watch a film and then hopefully some sexy time!

boxlikeamarchhare · 06/04/2019 19:12

LesLavandes we love Gilmore Girls and are on our second rewatch. I think we are on series 2 at the minute.

We had a lovely day, went to a book signing and out for lunch, watched a film, walked the dog. I renewed my membership at the tennis club and then we had steak and baby vegetables and Eton mess for dinner.

DD is doing homework, I am trying to decide whether to do some reading for work or not. I have done a bit of housework. I might do a kettlebell workout (15 minutes) if I can be bothered, or I might put it off until tomorrow.

I separated from H recently and life has been really (still is relatively) stressful so our lovely quiet day has been bliss.

Oldraver · 06/04/2019 19:13

We've just had dinner and I am supposed to be getting ready to go out...to a disco

Going to tuck OH up in bed and head off about 8.30
