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.

Am chilling on sofa for last 5 mins before taking toddler dd back from DH and giving her tea while he does odd jobs around the house. Feeling very very excited as just ordered a new dyson! (Late Xmas present)... love this thread find it relaxing for some reason.

NemophilistRebel · 19/01/2020 16:13

Having a bath after listing all DC1 baby to toddler clothes on eBay to make room.

50 listings and it took me all morning but hopefully some will go and the stuff that doesn’t seem by next Sunday can go to charity.

Money will be so tight on maternity leave that every penny counts but I do wonder if any of it is worthwhile after the sellers fees and postage and packaging.

It’s not been worn most of it as he grew so fast and received so many gifts and the going rate seem to be around 2-4£ an item or bundle Confused

DH has taken himself and DC to visit in-laws

Hoping to have the energy to cook something nice for dinner but I’m preggers and can’t seem to get the energy for most things right now.

Lovely the cold frosty but sunny day

SluggishSnail · 19/01/2020 16:15

I've just varnished a floor, now MNing to get over the backache. DH is building a compost bin out of pallets. DD is practising her instrument. DS2 (13) is playing on the virtual reality thingy. No idea about DS1 as he's at Uni.

Am about to make banana bread. Might run the hoover round if I can be bothered (probably not). DH will be cooking a roast this evening.

coffeeoclock · 19/01/2020 16:15

Resting in bed having just had a (very late!) breakfast and on my second coffee whilst watching amazon prime.
Had a horrid night with a migraine so barely slept and woke up earlier at half two having a panic attack so it's not been a great day.

McGruff · 19/01/2020 16:18

I'm making muffins.

Ds3 is playing broforce.
DD is doing her home work.
DS2 is eating a stolen muffin.
DS1 is getting a shower.

DH has gone shop to get more eggs.

2 dogs are asleep on the couch.

CrowleysBentley · 19/01/2020 16:19

Having a really bad pain day today so I'm on my bed crocheting, with the cat curled up next to me.

DS has been working 12 hour shifts for the last 6 days, so he's in his room doing something computery, in his comfy fleece PJs.

DD is at work until 6, and I will cook something for dinner when she gets home, probably something pasta or rice based and quick, I'm not feeling up to much today.

ringletsandtwiglets · 19/01/2020 16:24

God, you parents are amazing. I only have myself, Mr Twiglets, our cat and the ginger cat (that doesn't belong to us, but is here 20 hours a day anyway) to look after.

I have had a lovely walk in the icy sunshine this morning, home for lunch, some cleaning, a workout video and a snuggle with the cat. Mr Twiglets was working in the night, so he's still in bed and snoring.

James Martin is keeping me company on Food Network, I've changed into 'loungewear' and I'm trying not to snack. 10k steps done, so any more activity is a bonus.

thegreylady · 19/01/2020 16:29

Having a very lazy day with dh who keeps re reading summary of day’s cricket. I have the end (I hope )of a rotten cough/sneeze bug. I am rotating tv, kindle and mn. I am also putting off cleaning cat litter trays (yuk).

Squirrelblanket · 19/01/2020 16:30

The Liverpool game is on here. I was planning to do something useful while it was on but we went for a walk earlier and stopped in the pub for couple and now I feel very unmotivated to do very much at all.

Dinner and an early night after the game I think!

Anniecott · 19/01/2020 16:31

Just got in from a lovely walk down by the river, I'm currently sitting on the sofa with a fire, munchies and wine whilst the boys are in the kitchen sorting out putting a roast on and then we're going to play the Wii whilst it cooks.
My boys are pampering me today as it's my mums birthday and she's in care home with dementia so I'm finding today difficult, god love um. X

Justabadwife · 19/01/2020 16:36

Me and dd went swimming and then dw joined us for food shopping this morning.
Now we are all chilling out watching Harry Potter.

Dylanpickle · 19/01/2020 16:37

DP is watching YouTube videos of some shouty bloke in a shed making things.

I am MMing, listing to R2 whilst waiting for my Sourdough to proove.

One day I will make the perfect loaf of sourdough currently on Version 4.3!

MinesaPinot · 19/01/2020 16:44

DH is going the ironing in front of the football on Sky Sports. I am in the dining room doing paperwork for holidays etc (and MMing, and having a sneaky peak at what's left in the Zara sale...)

Will put dinner in in an hour or so, and then lazy evening in front of the telly. Love Sundays like this.

ednclouda · 19/01/2020 16:52

husb is watching footy im on here its supper time soon have just taken the dog for an icy walk then make sarnies for walk and think about supper

weegiemum · 19/01/2020 16:54

We went to church and had lunch there.

Now dd2 is dyeing her hair bright pink, ds is at football training, dd1 is hanging about waiting to go back to her flat, dh is cracking around with a computer game and I'm mnetting, and wondering if it's wine o'clock yet?

Bluewavescrashing · 19/01/2020 16:56

Just got back from a theatre matinée with DD. DS has been out on his bike. They're having screen time while I have a cuppa and DH is doing some garden jobs.

I'm not sure what to cook for dinner... Possibly ham egg and chips.

addictedtotheflats · 19/01/2020 17:28

DS 9months is napping in his pram, DP is playing fifa (on mute) 🙄 and I am lying on the sofa enjoying the silence. Getting ready to start thinking about making tea

LajesticVantrashell · 19/01/2020 17:36

We've had a full on afternoon in the park in the cold which has done DS in. He's currently snuggled up on me watching Blippi. I'm MN'ing. The dog had a massive walk too so is snoring next to me and DH is in the kitchen cooking sausage casserole.

purplecorkheart · 19/01/2020 17:53

Home alone. Just about to walk up to local pub to have something to eat as there is not much in the house and avoided the supermarket today as the weather is super icy and did not fancy slipping on the ice rink that is their car park and entrance. Got loads of laundry sorted and put away but I fear my tumble drier is on its last legs judging my the noise it made today. It is 25 years + old so I think it had its day. Have Downabbey the movie to watch tonight and then early to bed.

MegBusset · 19/01/2020 17:57

DS1 is in his room reading
DS2 is in the bath
DH is in the kitchen making tea (Delia Smith's leek and garlic cheese stuffed potatoes, yum)
I'm about to go and wash DS2's hair

Had two nice walks in the sunshine today and got laundry, homework etc sorted earlier

Looking forward to tea then Doctor Who!

QueenofallIsee · 19/01/2020 18:01

We’ve just come home from eating in a restaurant a few mins up the road
DTwins are playing pool
DS4 and DH are watching Man Utd vs Liverpool
DSD has a friend over and they are doing make up tutorials
DSS is building something or other with lego directly outside the family bathroom
I’m eating fruit pastilles

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 19/01/2020 18:34

Our, 'Let's nip out for a walk and try to find some robins to take pictures of' turned into, 'Let's have a pint in the craft beer place and now let's have a cocktail in the hipster cocktail bar and now let's go out for Vietnamese'. Can think of far worse ways to spend a Sunday afternoon!

BethanyGilbert · 19/01/2020 18:35

DD has just gone to bed. She’s going through a tricky stage at the moment. Got pie and veg for dinner. Then I’m having a long hot bath with new lush bath bomb and my kindle. Afterwards I’ll watch call the midwife with a large cup of tea before snuggling up under fresh bedding.

Dowser · 19/01/2020 18:36

Fab Sunday lunch, stacks of meat, dairy free mash, roasties, walk along the pier before sunset
Now cup of tea and a bit of dairy free nut choccie and dancing on ice.
Thinking of decluttering another cupboard...
Oh go on then 👍

Em012 · 19/01/2020 18:42

DP is currently having a shower I'm scrolling through MN while waiting for call the midwive and I'm sure DP will be back on COD then early night for us both before the weekly grind starts again.
