Thought a positive thread might be nice.

For me.
Tomorrow: Taking a couple of hours off to run some errands. Will treat myself to cheap cleaning stuff from Savers and a cake from Cooplands

Saturday: No work, wine and pizza on the sofa with DP

Next week: More renovations so things really feel like they're coming together

Whole fortnight: Being on a diet which works well for me so I feel like I'm in control and losing weight at the rate, and in the way, I want to

The long bank holiday weekend - not sure what we'll be doing yet but the weather will decide for us really.

Sorting out my home office for when I start my new job in 3 weeks time

Leaving my current job!

Work conference, two nights in a hotel. Bed to myself, no night wakings from the DC or meal planning! Blissss! I’m also 33wks pregnant so keen if there’s a bath!

I think we're painting the baby's nursery this weekend and I go on holiday 2 weeks tomorrow (currently at 25 weeks so the break is well needed!)

I'm getting my implant taken out next Friday as DH and I want to start TTC and it's pretty much all I can think about!! Had the appointment booked since the start of the month and I swear I've never had a longer August haha.

Raera · 20/08/2019 11:08

My birthday next week

whifflesqueak · 20/08/2019 11:14

I’m off work all week because I have no childcare.

However this months is incredibly long in bank balance terms so I admit I’m struggling to imagine how we’ll enjoy it.

Hoppinggreen · 20/08/2019 11:16

Off on holiday on Sunday
Got a nice chilled out week with haircuts, eyebrows wax, bit of shopping to prepare as well

timeforawine · 20/08/2019 11:16

Get together with lovely friends
Holiday :-D

@SamStephens, just don't get stuck in the bath! Take your phone and keep a towel handy to protect your modesty!

Youngandfree · 20/08/2019 11:29

Dh coming home tomorrow (after being away for 3 weeks)

Taking the dc away at the weekend to a Centre parcs style place (for want of a better explanation)

Starting back to work (I’m a teacher)

Moving into my own house and having my own space (currently living with DM as we are renovating!)

Oh and getting my hair done this week too!

Looking forward to making the most of the last 2 weeks of the summer holidays!

BBQ with friends this weekend
Shopping for school shoes and stationary
Squeezing in a few more days out with the kids
Getting the house back in order and everything organised for the new term
My last two weeks at one of my part time jobs (leaving to concentrate on my new home business)

Hopefully hearing back from a job interview I had recently 🤞
Hopefully meet up with my friend soon

isittheholidaysyet · 20/08/2019 11:54

Still a week and a half left of lazy lie-ins and no school run.

Pastaalldaylong · 20/08/2019 11:55

Having my first baby. Due date is 12 days Blush

thatmustbenigelwiththebrie · 20/08/2019 11:55

Going camping with a gang of friends this weekend, just hope it's not too cold.

And, very boringly, waiting for a new chain to arrive for my bike so I can fix it and ride it again. I have been walking everywhere and it takes so long.

IVEgottheDECAF · 20/08/2019 11:57

Having a baby

16 sleeps til due date and all previous dc slightly early!

Apolloanddaphne · 20/08/2019 11:58

On Saturday it is our wedding anniversary so we are going to an amazing restaurant for dinner.

On Sunday it is my birthday so going with DH and DD2 for a Sunday roast.

Neither of them are around on Sunday evening so I will spend it with the ravishing Mr Poldark and a glass of wine!

On Monday I start my diet! Grin

SaffronFields · 20/08/2019 12:03

Getting my hair cut and coloured on Thursday after a year of not having it done (first baby!).

Probably a pub lunch at the weekend with family. One of those ones with really lovely food and a great play area outdoors for the kids.

A Sunday roast with my siblings.

I have some lush bath bombs to use up. I have started a really good book so I’m looking forward to soaking in the bath with candles for an hour reading.

DD is starting her baby swimming classes with her Daddy, I love going to watch. She looks the cutest in her little swimming costume.
