I can't see one of these & I love them, so here goes!

DH & DS1 have gone to football training, back around 11.30.
DS2 & DS3 are watching Sooty & playing Mousetrap.
We're going to make jam tarts in a minute.
Then I have to do dishwasher & washing.
This afternoon, we will go to a shopping outlet village, to get school shoes for DS2 (we have Clarks vouchers)
Then to country park/play trail nearby
Home for quasi roast - chicken thighs, frozen yorkies (from Christmas), roast pots, veg

Tomorrow will be homework in the morning. Meeting friends at a free transport show in the afternoon.

It's the only Sunday I'm not working this month (library staff) so making the most of it!

What are you all up to?

Waiting for a call back from the 111 emergency dentist people 😕

Ithinkwerealonenowtiffany · 11/01/2020 10:15

All football cancelled due to the weather. So popping off to the shop to get stuff to make lobscouse for lunch tomorrow, but will make a curry for tea.

Possibly clean the kitchen cupboards.

confusedofengland · 11/01/2020 10:21

Joris I hope your toothache isn't too bad.

Ithink I dream of football being cancelled!

Back lying in bed after having to clean the dogs diarrhoea off the sitting room floor. The most disgusting job I have ever had to do and all the while 4yr old dd was happily eating breakfast and watching tv. Dh has gone to the shop for milk so I'll get up soon. Will have to go to my parents later and help them book activities/ tours for their upcoming trip to Paris. Debating buying a pressure cooker so might bite the bullet and get one in Argos later and I will collect older Ds from his dad's at some stage. I also promised younger Ds I would help him practice some magic tricks from the set he got for Christmas. All this will be done while waiting for the phone to ring as my sister in law is overdue their first baby and we're all waiting for action!

JorisBonson · 11/01/2020 10:37

Thanks @confusedofengland. Emergency appointment at 12.30 (I don't have a dentist as only recently moved here). God bless the NHS!

Apart from that, DP and I have an early dinner and a gig booked later

MustardScreams · 11/01/2020 10:41

It’s dd’s 3rd birthday on Monday, so we’re heading to the local adventure park and then to my parent’s for afternoon tea with the family. Dd is very excited for cake!

BecaLime · 11/01/2020 10:42

Hmm lots of lounging about being pregnant this morning while DP is running around after me 😂 This afternoon, off to build a bear with DSD and DP and then out to dinner. Tomorrow taking DSD to her horse riding lesson, which is a pleasure (not like football) 😂 although I do always have a slight pang of jealousy as I want to be horse riding too and can’t right now!

Whatismynameanyway · 11/01/2020 10:56

DS was just picked up by his Dad for the weekend, usually a bit sad when he's gone but having first proper date night with my new boyfriend tonight so I'm enjoying a long hot child free bath before I get ready!

BarkandCheese · 11/01/2020 11:05

DD is doing a show with her drama group this weekend, two performances today, 2pm and 7pm, one tomorrow at 4pm.

My parents got divorced in 1980, but still aren’t comfortable in one another’s company so I’m going to see the show with my dad and stepmum at 2pm today, then got for dinner with them after as they live quite a long way away and I don’t see them that often. My mum is going to the 4pm show tomorrow with my DH, but we’re not meeting up after as she lives twenty minutes away and I see her frequently.

Aside from all that and taxi-ing DD around it’ll be dog walking and housework.

Oldraver · 11/01/2020 11:17

Currently on M6 heading to Wolverhampton

OH and DS's going to Molineux for football, I'm going shopping

aibutohavethisusername · 11/01/2020 12:09

I’m on the M4. First time on National Express going to visit my parents for 3 days.

Newfloorlamp · 11/01/2020 12:21

Been to a friend's one year old's birthday party this morning and will be viewing potential houses to move to this afternoon. Currently watching Katie Morag with the DC and drinking a cup of tea while DH cooks lunch.

AngelOfDeathNix · 11/01/2020 12:28

Eldest dd was dropped at dance at 8.30 this morning, will pick her up in a mo. Youngest dd has had a football match this morning and is now caked in mud, so she's off into the bath whilst I sort some lunch out. This afternoon will be a bit of housework, need to pop to IKEA to get some shelving brackets for DD1s bedroom and then they can be put up. Lazy freezer picnic tea and watching the masked singer later!

Peterspotter · 11/01/2020 12:30

Battling through a hangover whilst my dds screech frozen 2 songs

. Dh is at football. Then kids karted off to grandmas and going out for a meal with dh. First time kid free in seven months so looking forward to it.

gingajewel · 11/01/2020 13:42

Been good shopping and to the local shops to buy a few bits this morning, after the first week of term and me adjusting to going full time at work we plan to chill for a few hours with ipads/Netflix.
Dd1 has dance at 2.30-4.30 and then we are going to McDonald’s, coming home to get pyjamas on and watch Saturday night tv! I’m going to try and fit in a soak in the bath and ive done 90% of the cleaning and washing so I’m happy with that!!

gingajewel · 11/01/2020 13:42

Food shopping, not good shopping, there is nothing good about going to aldi!!!

Thestrangestthing · 11/01/2020 13:45

Day in the house today. Took the dog out this morning and got drenched, it's lashing and the wind is horrendous. DP away to football, kids playing machines, in looking up summer holidays and panicking about my income this year as everything is changing Sad

Mummyilovejokes1 · 11/01/2020 14:33

Ds1 had a party this morn and ds2 spent most of it crying at me as he wanted cake, home for food shop delivery, now we are watching a film and i will nip to shops later for Wine and choc. Dp is away for a 2nd night with work so nice quiet eve to myself again Grin

UsernameTaken76 · 11/01/2020 14:50

Got up early and got lots of jobs done round the house which made me feel good then. Then went to have my nails done while DH went food shopping. Now watching end rugby while waiting for someone to come and collect the exercise bike I’ve sold.

Bonkerz · 11/01/2020 14:52

MyNameIsMrsGrumpy · 11/01/2020 14:54

Nothing terribly exciting.

Taken the lamb out of the freezer for dinner tomorrow.
Taken ddog for a nice walk despite the rain.
Now sat on the sofa with the kids watching tv
Spag bols in cooking in the slow cooker for dinner

MsMellivora · 11/01/2020 18:37

DH and DS did park run. I walked about 2.5 miles this afternoon to get to a high tea held at my friends church which was very nice. Then we are off out for a curry tonight, friends cancelled as the husband has a bad ear infection but we are still going. Will watch an episode of The Witcher when we get back. DH has a deadline so has worked all afternoon. He may do a bit more, if he does I will game on my console.
