Working in my air con office as late as I can!

Geraniumpink · 25/07/2019 11:57

Tidying out the airing cupboard! it’s not too bad here at the moment.

PutyourtoponTrevor · 25/07/2019 11:57

I'm at work in a metal porta cabin, I feel like I'm in an oven

Pyjamaface · 25/07/2019 12:00

My genius plan today is to defrost the freezer whilst cleaning the fridge so hopefully I will benefit from the cold air on my legs.

DS has been told to stay inside and do whatever he wants/Can to stay cool so obviously his playing Fortnite totally naked

Relaxing in the garden after doing a bit of housework & three loads of washing. Have to go to a committee meeting this afternoon which I am thoroughly fed up about, discussing the same point that’s been on the agenda for four years, no hope of getting agreement.... and I could have had a lovely day out at the beach or an outdoor pool. Sometimes I wish I wasn’t such a ‘do-gooder’.

Mrsoh39 · 25/07/2019 12:02

Eating lunch in the garden then going inside.

Ninkaninus · 25/07/2019 12:03

Nothing, thank goodness! Well I’ve run the dishwasher and there’s a load of washing on. But that’s it!

BlessedBeTheFruitCake · 25/07/2019 12:03

Watching the Shrek films with dcs, curtains closed. It's 27°c inside already. Outside it's over 30 so we're staying in until the garden has some shade later this afternoon.

munemema · 25/07/2019 12:04

I went to the bank this morning, I was tempted to set up in there for the day!

alwaysscared · 25/07/2019 12:05

Lying on my bed with my 6 year old with 2 fans blasting at us. I have recently changed medication which is making me feel weird, and having a bad IBS attack so feeling rubbish. DS has to, unfortunately, have a day of watching you tube until daddy comes home at 2. Parent fail today Sad

Going to my grandmas funeral in a black dress and tights.

PolkadotLollipop · 25/07/2019 12:05

Had a row with my lazy teenager.

Need to go into town for some bits and bobs and should do it before it gets really hot. That horse may have bolted as it is 30 degrees Hmm

PolkadotLollipop · 25/07/2019 12:06

I’m sorry Queen Flowers

First day off work this week so I did all the housework early, got to the bottom of the washing basket too so very impressed. DD1 against my advice has gone out with her mates so DD2 and I are spending the rest of the day chilling out at home, bliss.

SlothMama · 25/07/2019 12:09

Working from home with my fan on! But I have put out 2 loads of washing and I'll treat myself to a bit of sunbathing to hopefully get rid of my ridiculous t-shirt and watch tan

42isthemeaning · 25/07/2019 12:09

Queen Thanksfor you.

We're driving to a French port to catch a ferry back to England. It's 33C right now where we are, so not complaining about being stuck in the car with a/c on.

Hellohah · 25/07/2019 12:10

Gardening 🙈🙈🙈

Cerealkillers · 25/07/2019 12:11

Watching Netflix in front of the fan while guzzling pints of squash.

cantfindname · 25/07/2019 12:11

Melting 1cm at a time. Soon I will be nothing but a pool of water, which will evaporate fast in this heat.

SimonJT · 25/07/2019 12:11

‘Working’ from home today as my sons nursery is far too hot, we went to the park at about 8 for a play, now it appears he is attempting to throw lego into every corner of the flat. When it’s a bit cooler later we’ll head back to the park.

UncomfortableSilence · 25/07/2019 12:11

Queen Thanks

QueenOfPain · 25/07/2019 12:11

Thanks for the flowers ladies. I’m hoping there’s some good air con in the crem and at the venue for the wake. If anything could make it more miserable than it already is then it’s this weather Sad
