Can’t see one today & I love these threads get lots of good ideas.

It’s a rugby day for us on the sofa with coffee & crumpets watching the games. Then food shop & visit my Dad. No idea what we will do this evening either watch a film or continue binge watching Waterloo Road. Or try and convince DH to go see the Downton film.

Taking DS to the fair. It's an annual event in our nearest city, one of the biggest fairs in the country. I've saved up some money so we can really enjoy it and stuff our faces with fair food!

Later on, food shopping and chilled night at home.

Oh coffee and crumpets sounds good ! I'm getting my first ever tattoo this morning then PIL are coming to babysit this evening while DH and I go and see The Joker

SugarMiceInTheRain · 05/10/2019 10:10

Shopping, tidying the house then my mum's coming to visit (and watch me in the last night of a play I've been performing in this week). Have to head off to the theatre about 5.30 to get myself ready (luckily no matinee for this one)

Enjoying a day on the sofa with my husband and 11 day old daughter, getting to grips with this whole parenting thing!!

UsernameTaken76 · 05/10/2019 10:26

I've had an awful cold all week and today is the first day I felt better. I was going into town as ds2 library books are over due.
But I now have diarrhoea so looks like I'm not doing anything but a lazy day on the sofa.
Going to have a nice long soak in the tub this afternoon with a stack of magazines

Musicalmistress · 05/10/2019 10:40

I'll potter about & make a late brunch while OH goes for a cycle. This afternoon we'll head into town for a bit as there's a music festival on with acts in various places so a wander & pit stop in a few favourite pubs. Later on we'll watch a movie &have something nice for dinner - not decided what yet.

imnottoofussed · 05/10/2019 10:40

Currently sat in the hairdressers having my colour done then off for a bit of shopping and food with a friend

mrsk28 · 05/10/2019 10:43

Going to a baby fair with DH and DS (25 weeks). Need a new car seat for him because he's getting too tall for the infant one already. Hoping to get a good deal and maybe a goodie bag 🤞🏻

ScrunchyBook · 05/10/2019 10:43

I'm at work this morning. I might take the kids to Peppa pig world this afternoon

catenthusiast · 05/10/2019 10:44

Having a lazy morning to try and fend off the cold that's going round (knackered and sneezing so not sure it's working Sad) and then helping my SIL to move house this afternoon. This evening will be Strictly and something easy for dinner! Not a very exciting one but very much needed.

AnotherExWife · 05/10/2019 10:45

So far I've made an autumnal carrot and parsnip soup and an apple and blackberry crumble. Going to do a quick food shop in a bit. Then a nice dog walk and probably conker collecting with the kids then my cousin is coming round for a birthday tea!

Gothamgirl1970 · 05/10/2019 10:45

Cleaned bathroom. Will change sheets then dontown movie tonight

BuildBuildings · 05/10/2019 10:52

Made an epic breakfast sourdough sandwich of grilled cheese, veggie bacon and jalapeño. So I've peaked today. Going to make some chocolate cornflakes cakes with chocolate I panic bought using coins at duty free earlier in the week. Playing on our new mega drive mini (released yesterday and pre ordered to arrive yesterday, I know). Then cinema later, so massive lazy day.

Ciderandskatesdontmix · 05/10/2019 10:56

Been in hospital all week with DS. Hopefully being discharged this afternoon. If so then I'm going to my parents house to pick up my girls and try to get back to normality!

Prokupatuscrakedatus · 05/10/2019 10:58

I have just finished reassembling and reorganizing our coat / shoe / bag hanger / garderobe construction. It is made from IVAR and I bought a rail yesterday and finally got my broom stick back.
I decided that this is enough housework for now.
DS is on harvest vacations (a set of school holidays that needs to be shifted somewhere else) so doing nothing and DD starts uni on Monday and enjoys her last two days of not being an adult - again doing nothing.
DH is out working.

BuildBuildings · 05/10/2019 11:44

I'm impressed by how much some of you have done already! Hope your ds is discharged @Ciderandskatesdontmix and he's getting better x
I'm having a horrible period so I'm greatful of the lazy day

StCharlotte · 05/10/2019 12:04

DH gone to football, meeting up for drinks later. Just painted my nails and about to watch last week's Strictly on catch up. Feeling a bit sad and out of sorts as I don't have to plan my day around walking our gorgeous dog who we lost yesterday. Might go into town to spend my birthday money. Might not.

MsJRMEsq · 05/10/2019 12:07

Lesson planning, laundry, shopping, marking books.

Elderflower14 · 05/10/2019 12:09

I was up at 4.50am todayyo go to work in the bakery so I will be resting for the rest of the day!!

Elderflower14 · 05/10/2019 12:10

@StCharlotte I'm so sorry.
We lost our boy two weeks ago.... Its horrible.... 💔

bloodywhitecat · 05/10/2019 12:13

Taking my foster toddler to meet my son and his gazillion birds, haven't seen DS for a fair while so looking forward to seeing him.

OpiesOldLady · 05/10/2019 12:17

I am currently sat in a shooting range watching as my 15 year old son handles rifles and other guns as if he were born to it.

It's killing me as i always taught him that guns were things to kill people with and not toys, but here he is, a strapping young man in the army cadets doing what he loves.

Gah.

DamonSalvatoresDinner · 05/10/2019 12:18

I'm on hour two of a long soak in the bath.

I just topped up the hot water and texted my teenager to bring me a snickers bar from the kitchen.

That's the extent of my weekend plans.

DamonSalvatoresDinner · 05/10/2019 12:21

Teenager brought me a snickers bar AND. A bag of sweets.

Mama raised a good 'un.
