I'm drinking tea, listening to the radio and MM-ing.

Dd2 is sock on after going to bed at the same time as me.

It's lovely but I actually do need to move and get stuff done.

Just had a bacon sandwich cooked by OH, doing lots of washing as DS's machine in his new house tripped the electrics.

Coffeeonadrip · 19/01/2020 13:01

Just came back from the trampoline place that was soooooo busy!

Overtired and grumpy DD2 is having lunch whilst watching paw patrol

Teenage DSD1 is practicing drawing

Me and DH are eating lunch and on our phones.

Lovely day today with the girls. Soon a roast dinner and taking DSD1 home to her mum.

mumchkin · 19/01/2020 13:01

@oldraver bloody love a bacon sandwich. And love your username :)

Natsku · 19/01/2020 13:07

I'm drinking a cup of tea while DS naps. DD is playing some weird game involving a broken necklace. OH is in the basement with two of his friends recording music.

Squirrel26 · 19/01/2020 13:07

Thinking about how cold my feet are and that I need to take the dog out soon.

Dog is looking out of the window because he heard a Pug barking on the TV. Grin

I was cleaning, but I got distracted.

TheSubtleArt · 19/01/2020 13:07

Eating a packet of Jaffa cakes, (because, why not?!) listening to radio, loosely supervising DC's playing in rooms.
All civilised for 10 minutes....
Did food shopping and visiting parents and friends this morning so comfies are on and I'm in for the rest of the day now.

myidentitymycrisis · 19/01/2020 13:10

been for a 6k run (go me!), had a bath and now sitting down with a brew before continuing the January declutter /turnaround

vampirethriller · 19/01/2020 13:37

I'm under a blanket on the sofa with the baby and the dog, watching Blades of Glory.

Whatelsecouldibecalled · 19/01/2020 13:52

@Littleshortcake is going a light grey with one wall feature wall being papered with a light blue white and grey moon clouds and stars. First coat is on! Now having a cuppa whilst baby has a good wriggle! 🥰

Tisfortired · 19/01/2020 14:23

DS is playing on his Nintendo switch, there is a chicken roasting away in the oven. I have a hot cup of tea and a homemade lemon drizzle cupcake me and DS made. I'm watching old episodes of real housewives. Our new pup is fast asleep in my lap.

Quite idyllic but my results from my most recent colposcopy came back quite bad on Friday so I'm feeling quite low, and pulling out the big guns to cheer myself up.

stephanielittl7 · 19/01/2020 14:30

Ds is out with one of his carers at a football match and ive been to the aldi. cleaned the house and have just put another load in the washing machine. Now im chilling out for a bit til Ds comes home whereupon he will claim hes starving and needs feeding!

babysnowman · 19/01/2020 14:32

I'm lying in bed breastfeeding my wee one in the hope she'll take a nap. Husband is watching Match of the Day and dog is sleeping.

All going for a walk once baby has woken from nap, then going to watch Friday's Graham Norton and eat chilli.

DramaAlpaca · 19/01/2020 14:36

I'm having a cup of tea while MNing. DH is watching a rugby match on TV. DS is baking and there are delicious smells coming from the kitchen.

Later, DH will walk the dogs & I'll do some cleaning. And hope he brings back clean dogs not muddy ones. Then I'll go shopping and pick other DS up from work on the way back.

I do like reading these little snapshots into people's lives Smile

Camomila · 19/01/2020 14:38

We had a nice roast earlier and the dishwasher is on.

DH is at the supermarket and carwash.

DS has made himself a soft play out of living room furniture, I'm sitting on the sofa telling him to play calmly. Might put Blaze and the Monster Machines on for a bit.

Morgenrot · 19/01/2020 15:06

DP is chewing gum loudly whilst sitting next to me. Am considering murder Grin

NeverDropYourMoonCup · 19/01/2020 15:19

I'm in the bath.

DP is mixing some tracks. The TV appears to be showing Mickey Flanagan? Or Finnegan? Something like that, it's the one with the whiny London accent. Even the DTwatCats aren't interested, so one is supervising DP through closed eyes on the spare bed and the other is monitoring my bath from the towel hamper on the landing.

I had a posh (for me, fifty quid) dress delivered at midday that I'll use for work. Got to look vaguely respectable these days and I've spent far too much time online turning my nose up at the million and one polka dots, dresses ending about 3 inches below my arse, ruffles, bows and animal prints that presumably somebody is buying.

I'm also trying to not think about the toilet downstairs not flushing (it's not blocked by us, as per plunger and drain snake, so will have to try and get the landlord on the phone tomorrow) and the vague whiff of bastarding cat from the bath mat DP left down overnight.

Dinner is steak and ale pie, apparently.

I'm going to spend as long as possible primping, preening and defurring myself before lounging around for the rest of the day, ready for 5am when it all starts again for another week.

JustaScratch · 19/01/2020 15:32

We had some friends round for brunch earlier, they left just before lunchtime. Since lunch, DH has been snoozing, DD has been doing homework/playing, and I've been sitting by the fire with the dog. DH is up now, so we're helping DD with the last few bits of her homework. It's horrible weather here, so we've had a lovely cosy day.

Thecatisboss · 19/01/2020 15:39

Been for a walk with DD earlier round our local NT property. Now back home drinking tea and a new recipe of burnt aubergine chilli is cooking for dinner tonight. DD is playing with Christmas Lego, DH probably looking up cycling websites and I'm mn and then going to find something to watch on Netflix.

Mumbassa · 19/01/2020 15:42

I’m cooking tea whilst DH has taken the DC out to the park

mrsbyers · 19/01/2020 15:48

Mr b is making a lamb curry for supper , I’m debating about tackling a few drawers in the bedroom before I have to do a couple of hours work

ThunderboltandLightning · 19/01/2020 15:52

Bro is cooking supper. SIL is asleep with baby. DS1 is doing prep for tomorrow. DH is at cricket training with DS2. I will shortly take DS1 to swap with DS2. I am trying to do my tax return.

GetUpAgain · 19/01/2020 15:52

I'm thinking about doing some ironing and watching new Grace and Frankie. DS is getting ready to watch Liverpool v Man U at friends. DH is out stuck in traffic and prob not back in time to take DS. So I will need to take him which seems a good reason not to start ironing yet Grin

DD is overtired from a sleepover. The puppy is chewing new toys.

Whiskeylover45 · 19/01/2020 16:02

I'm hiding in the toilet for five minutes peace from DS's, 2.5, relentless, incoherent, illogical demands for blue uncooked egg cakes 😂 while DH who has just come in from work is play fighting with him to burn off energy

pinkyboots1 · 19/01/2020 16:05

All jobs are done for now so cuddled up on sofa with other half watching Gordon Ramsey... will be doing ironing/asked lunches etc after tea

autumnleaves15 · 19/01/2020 16:09

OH has gone to visit his parents.

I met a friend for a walk and lazing on the sofa with a book. Fire and candles on. Delightful.
