Couldn't see one of these threads & I love being nosy!

DH & DS1 have gone off too football, as per usual. Today they'll be gone for 5 hours Shock so it's a long time for me to fill with Ds2 & DS3.

None of them have been given much homework this weekend, so lots of free time! About to have another coffee, then will pull on waterproofs & go for a welly/conker walk. Then home for hot chocolate & some reading/online maths & reading. Then some crafts. Then maybe an hour in the playroom while I sort laundry.

Then DH & DS1 should be home & we'll have lunch & loaf about! Possibly a board game this afternoon.

Rainy days are hard to fill with 2 boys who love running around a lot Grin

DS11 is away until later on this afternoon
DD13 has a party later on which my sister is dropping her off at
I am going to learn how to make hand and foot cream.

24.5 hour shift which I have to walk to in the rain.

On the plus side, the entire shift is with my bestie, we're cooking a massive roast and I get to spend the day with my squad (Service Users if I'm being professional) after not seeing them for a week.

So, I guess that's a pretty cool day.

TravellingSpoon · 13/10/2019 08:17

Supposed to be going to Warwick Castle. DS has planned this day for ages. Have been studying the weather all week hoping that it might cheer up its prediction for today. Nope

Love these threads, so interesting! DP and I will go for a walk this morning along the canal. He's full of cold with an awful cough and thinks if he wraps up well, the fresh air will do him good. Then we'll just relax this afternoon. I've already made an Austrian goulash for tonight's tea and will make tomato soup for next week's lunches this afternoon. So a quiet Sunday here

I'm at work all day as a community midwife. Everyone else is staying behind in the warm and dry for a lazy daySmile

Pascha · 13/10/2019 08:20

There's a local scarecrow trail which both children have entered with Cubs and Beavers so we'll so that, then home for roast. Both have crafty homework to finish too.

Going to visit my new baby nephew who was born on Friday night Grin from the pictures he is so so gorgeous, I can't wait to hold him

GnomeDePlume · 13/10/2019 08:24

Just put a couple of loaves on to prove. Off to the gym in a few minutes. When I get home. I will bake bread and soften onions for French onion soup for lunch.

This afternoon I might bake a cake.

wendz86 · 13/10/2019 08:25

Currently drinking tea while the kids eat breakfast .

Eldest dd has gymnastics at 12. Will go home for lunch then might pop to library as rainy here and books are due back . Dd1 needs to finish her homework too .

Andsoltbegins · 13/10/2019 08:26

De cluttering. Again.
It’s been weeks now and I’m seriously flagging but I have to keep doing it because otherwise my mental health is so affected.
My front garden resembles a tip because we need to go to the tip and book a pick up for the big items from the LA
I’m hoping it’s all done soon

PixieDustt · 13/10/2019 08:26

Packing for holiday tomorrow and cleaning the house and sorting out DS bottles and clothes and checking I have absolutely everything for him 😳

Lozzy25 · 13/10/2019 08:27

I am currently laying in bed with a coffee, I will get up soon to walk my dogs through the woods then me and my DH are going for lunch with my parents and sister Smile I am currently 4 + 2 weeks pregnant and the symptoms are creeping up on me!

NerdyCurvyInkedandPervy · 13/10/2019 08:27

I've been awake since 1.30am - chronic pain and insomnia, gave it up as a bad job at 5.30 so went and had a long luxurious soak in the bath. Got stuck trying to get out so had to wake DP for help. Good job he loves me!

The rest of today will be spent car booting, then going out for a Chinese banquet with DPs folks.

Redspider1 · 13/10/2019 08:28

Painting DD’s bedroom. Roast dinner later. Absolutely pouring here.

wildhairdontcare · 13/10/2019 08:30

Driving to Edinburgh for two nights then on to North Berwick for three nights. It's October break here in Scotland. Even the teens seem happy to go!

Equimum · 13/10/2019 08:31

DH is currently out for a run and the kids are watching Tv. I am about to have a bath, then we’ll be heading to friend’s house for lunch. When we get back, I’ll be helping DS1 with his homework, then trying to reassemble to study as it’s just been painted.

Claredogmum · 13/10/2019 08:32

Lying in bed in the caravan surrounded by four dogs and DP. Drinking coffee and looking at the sea. The sun is shining here (north of Scotland) so we are going to walk along the beach. It's peaceful and beautiful.

mogloveseggs · 13/10/2019 08:33

Justabadwife · 13/10/2019 08:36

We are going to do the food shop and sort dds bike our for bikeability this week.
I'm going to move the living room around, have a really good hoover and tidy, so that I can put the heating on (sideboard is currently in front of the radiator)
Oh and I'm dying my hair at some point today 😁😁

yawnhedehihi · 13/10/2019 08:38

Absolutely nothing. It's raining here all day so pj and craft day I think with the odd film.

Parker231 · 13/10/2019 08:39

DT’s are at Uni. DH and I are going for a run (in the rain) and then for our usual brunch at the local Deli. Friends are coming for dinner this evening - DH is cooking so we will be eating well.

Bluewavescrashing · 13/10/2019 08:41

Still in bed as DS age 5 attempted to get up for the day at 4.45am, luckily he did go back to sleep until 8am and so did I. Cat is now purring on my head.

Very quiet morning planned as we had a full on family day out yesterday. My throat is tickling so I think I've got a cold. DH will be prodded to cook pancakes soon, then lego building, cleaning out the pets, hoovering before MIL arrives this afternoon 🤨

Ludos · 13/10/2019 08:42

I'm going to IKEA Grin

Enidcat5 · 13/10/2019 08:44

DS and dh have gone swimming then soft play. I've stayed home with baby DD because she has a cold and diarrhoea. Still in pjs and cuddled up letting her feed and sleep at leisure. I've grand designs of doing some unpacking (recently moved) or making soup but realistically we'll probably just stay doing this!

SimonJT · 13/10/2019 08:44

Pretending to be asleep as my son isn’t allowed in my room if I’m not awake yet.

Swimming lesson at 10, then we’re doing our usual visit to the park before going out for lunch.
