What’s everyone up to?

[PrincessMaryaBolkonskaya]

I love these weekend morning threads and can’t see one yet.

I’m currently having my weekly internal debate about the optimum time of day to run on a Saturday. After run I’ll shower then pop into work to tie up a few things. Then we’re off to see family.

What’s everyone else up to?

Sat waiting for eyebrow shape & tint then off into town to see if i can find any decent trousers that wont swamp me

Home for the football then i have a whole massive jacket potato for dinner - granted it doesnt sound grand but ive had no carbs for 8 weeks now & i just CANNOT wait!

Eurovision tonight

Trying to summon the energy to go shopping, ds is moaning we have barely any food in the house. He's right of course because we stopped overshopping and only buy what we need. So by Saturday morning you're considering eating your own limbs

I have a slight hangover so am drinking tea. I only got up about half an hour ago. Dd2 is awake, watching something on her tablet, dd1 is still sleeping.

No idea what we're doing today. Probably not much. Both girls have a little bit of homework so we'll do that. Then there's all the usual weekend stuff to be done so will crack on with that.

I need to finish painting my bedroom but need more paint so will have a nip into town at some point. Or I might paint the blanket box and order a frame for my picture instead depending on what the girls want to do.

Sitting at Barcelona airport waiting for a flight home. What is this nonsense about getting to an airport 2 hours early and then security takes 5 mins and then you sit with nothing to do....rant rant

DH is cooking breakfast and I’ve fallen down a rabbit hole of this strangely intriguing Korean drama inn netflix. I haven’t a clue what’s going on but I can’t atop watching.

After breakfast we need to food shop and then see about switching gas & electric as our tariff is expiring. Then it’s the last day of the normal rugby season so we will be watching that. I’m toying with making lasagne or spaghetti bolognese for dinner.

I’m working all day so trying to weave some treats in to make it bearable.

I’ve had a lie in, lots of tea and a big breakfast.

Will have cookies, cake, tea throughout the day.

DH is gardening so hopefully it’ll be nice enough to sit out with some wine once I’ve finished and then it’s a relax in front of the tv with a curry.

Lazy day today pottering around the house in my pyjamas then I'll watch Eurovision tonight

DH has taken DS out on some errands so I could straighten up the house. The cleaner came yesterday and did the rooms we use so it's only the other half of the house I've done.
We have 3 couples we're friends with (and a little girl) coming over late afternoon for food & drinks etc. Some people are staying over hence sorting rest of house.
I'm going to make myself brunch just now then have a shower & get ready for the day.
I'm hoping ds will nap as he will be up late tonight.

Kids party 😩

I've just finished making a rice salad to go with our dinner this evening. DH is helping DS2 with a computer problem, DS1 is watching some interminable Minecraft thing on Netflix and I'm drinking hazelnut latte and wondering what to do next. I love a chilled-out Saturday morning.

Currently watching one of our buns munching grass. They have to be kept separate for a bit as they fought. Later on going shopping to look for ideas for DM’s birthday hamper. Her birthday isn’t for ages but DD likes to be organised! DF is coming too. Might get ASDA pizzas for tea. Watching BGT & bits of Eurovision I expect

I've been at work since half 5, it's very boring today.

Should get home just in time for Eurovision

The sun is out again but it's very windy.
I've already cleaned the kitchen and the 'cat bathroom'. I've checked my plants for aphids, they are out en masse. DS tells me they are in the flying stage of their fascinating life cycle, but I can't get enthusiastic about that.
He is waiting (for me) to install the MS Office package, when he's quite finished waking up.
DD has two exams to go (literature and Russian). She's resting today.
DH is doing the weekly shop.

Wet parkrun, now waiting for a train to go and spend the weekend with my lovely cousin. Kid free. Can't wait

Getting ready for DD1's first holy communion tomorrow. The actual go-to-church-in-a-white-dress bit is sorted, but the whole invite your family round for food afterwards is really not. We have to go shopping in a bit. I have no idea how much food 17 people will eat or what they want to drink. We can't afford this either.

I also have to write some emails, telling people I can't pay for things until after pay day and I can't do something I was going to do because I am working an extra shift next week because we need the extra money.

Am cleaning up the kitchen, will tidy other rooms, be eternally grateful that tomorrow's family party will no longer be held in our house that is too small and messy, wash DDs' hair while they scream like I am torturing them and try and get them to have an early night.

Been for a shop run this morning, attempted to do some tidying (not gone well, currently in bed with my toddler!), then going to bring DS for a haircut and we'll go for coffee with a friend, come home and make a big meal for the first time in weeks!

Trying to get my parakeet back in his cage. He's going through the toddler stage and being a bit stubborn! Once he's back in I'll be heading into town for some shopping, get an ice cream and when I get back study for a couple of hours.

Just been and done "big shop"
Next job is pack the campervan as tomorrow we are going to Northumberland for a few days - yeah!!
