I love a what are your weekend plans thread!
Everyone is still asleep here after a late night and I am on the sofa watching tv, drinking teas and mumsnetting!
Have got a relaxed Saturday, a bit of packing for a holiday next week, going to see a friend and then family over for dinner.
What are your plans?

Dh and i are going to do a park run. Then we’re going to see a friend for lunch and then relaxing this evening

CherryPavlova · 01/02/2020 08:37

Husband is out running the dog while I await my tea.
This morning will be odd jobs around the house and garden.
Drop daughter to station to go back to university after her interview on Thursday.
I have village craft afternoon later - about eight of us bring assorted craft type projects and work together over tea.
Out to a supper party tonight.
Church tomorrow, with friends and a dog walk. Then I have to get some work done on my book series that need delivering to publisher by end of May.

I'm child free this weekend so batch cooking and freezing meals.
Though first I need to empty all of the current contents in the freezer as my son left the freezer door wide open over night on Thursday night so it's all ruined. But will be refilling it with yummy cooked meals.

MysweetAudrina · 01/02/2020 08:43

Am about to go to a hot yoga class and might pop across to a nice bakery afterwards to pick up a few tasty treats. Dh is bringing kids to their matches and then probably have a lazy enough day pottering around the house. Going to put a gammon in the slow cooker for later.

bluerad · 01/02/2020 09:10

Housework this morning, then going to see Little Women this afternoon with eldest DD. Making a mushroom lasagna for dinner - gave up meat for January and didn't really miss it.

Mixitupalot · 01/02/2020 09:24

We are being super lazy today. We’re in the Irish mountains & it has a beautiful sprinkling of snow so we can’t really go anywhere. Currently watching tv & eating breakfast, one dc up with me & DH & DD still in bed.

No real plans, prob laundry & watch rugby later. Making the most of having a week off.

FromTheAllotment · 01/02/2020 09:31

DD has swimming this morning and DH is taking her. Then DH is doing the weekly shop.

I feel a boring weekend looming for us. I’m recovering from a horrible cold so really not up to much. Need to get DD to do her homework, do some birthday shopping for DS, try and not cough my lungs up. Meh.

Ikora · 01/02/2020 09:32

I’m meeting a friend for coffee at 11, we will walk through the park which is about a 2.5 mile round trip. I need to pin down DH to chat about decorating two rooms in the house. I detest decorating and he is short of time but getting him to agree to pay anyone to do anything is hard. It’s not being tight nor being able to afford it. It’s because he likes things done well. He fitted our kitchen, our builder friend said he could do it for a living. But he works long hours so it took two months.

Lipperfromchipper · 01/02/2020 09:33

Right now I’m sitting with a coffee and mn’ing after croissants and fruit for breakfast, dh is getting dressed, the dc are playing in our woods (it’s lovely and fresh and sunny today) I can’t see them but I can hear them, as I have the bi folds open!! Utter bliss!! And exactly what I imagined when we designed and built the house!

troppibambini · 01/02/2020 09:43

Ugh I have a hangover.
Went out with friends last night had a really fun night but we all drank too much!
Need to do a bit of cleaning bil is coming over later, dh is taking the kids to martial art this aft.
I'm sat on the sofa with a pint of vimto and the cat.

jmh740 · 01/02/2020 09:45

I'm still in bed just about to get up, Dh is recovering in bed from some hospital treatment he had yesterday. Ds has his friend sleeping over they are playing xbox I'm about to go and make them pancakes. Dd will probably not surface until much later and I know she wants me to take her shopping for an outfit she wants to wear for her 13th birthday meal with friends. My car is at the garage at 11 for its MOT and I have a mountain of washing to get through.

NorthernPowermouse · 01/02/2020 10:07

Not much here. Been up since 5.30 (thanks DS) and already made pancakes, banana muffins and played three games with the DC. DP is watching the tennis. We’re all still in PJs. Kids are now fighting 🙄.

Allyg1185 · 01/02/2020 10:16

I'm going to get more of my tattoo done at 12. Dh and ds left to their own devices so will probably end up the teampoline park

boatyIII · 01/02/2020 10:24

I'm feeling really unwell so in bed with ddog whilst DH out with DDs in the playground. Lazy afternoon at home with toys and TV I think!

fairydustandpixies · 01/02/2020 10:32

I'm heading off to a fab farm shop with a friend before a pub lunch then being a second opinion as he house hunts this afternoon. Love looking at houses (but not when it's me that's moving!). Happy Saturday everyone!

ChimpyChops · 01/02/2020 10:43

Love these threads!

Lazy morning here. Am watching the Minions Movie with ds.
Got work 2-9pm 🥴

mummyof2ds · 01/02/2020 10:47

Laying on sofa all day feel like I am dying glad dc have gone to there dgp for day and night

VioletCharlotte · 01/02/2020 11:16

I've just been to the gym and for a coffee after. Need to get my car cleaned as it's filthy, top up screen wash, etc (exciting stuff!)

When I get home I need to do some housework, then I'll head off out for a long walk with my dog. It's bright and sunny here today, I'm looking forward to getting outside after a long week at work.

18 year old DS will emerge from his bed at some point. He was out late last night so I don't imagine that will be any time soon!

AmazingGreats · 01/02/2020 15:04

Sweet fuck all today as per usual. Every Week I think this will be the weekend we do something (anything!) on a Saturday and then I wake up on Saturday morning and can't do much at all, I'm always so exhausted. It's like the first day of the school holidays used to feel, only it happens every weekend now. Family film on, throwing snacks in the general direction of my children and the washing machine is on, otherwise I might manage to throw them in the bath and run the hoover round if I really dig deep.

embolass · 01/02/2020 15:33

Just sat down with a cuppa and now for some mumsnetting. Been to shops, dog walked x2, washing x1 load, ironingx1 load. Wine soon and a prawn Thai curry to make, then feet up!

forrandomposts · 01/02/2020 15:47

I've had a lovely day. Woke early and went for a run, then back for a lovely handcrafted sandwich on the sofa binging Cheer on Netflix

mamaduckbone · 01/02/2020 15:54

I had a lovely lie in then a morning alternating between drinking coffee and clearing out disgusting kitchen cupboards. I now have a clean and tidy tins and dry goods cupboard, which is satisfying.

Went for a stomp along the canal and into town with ds2 and dh, and I'm now doing my planning for next week (teacher) and half watching the rugby.

Dh has made pulled pork - it's in the slow cooker making me feel hungry.

So a boring but nice kind of day.

GlennBulb · 01/02/2020 16:20

Did pancakes for the Dc this morning, I decided I'd have a smoothie.
The blender is broken and a replacement part is the price of the thing! Small teeny hangover!
Cleaned, one load of washing (out of 100.00!)
I'm currently in the bath (hiding from the dc)
Pulled pork in the crock pot and wine later!

Freeshavocado · 01/02/2020 16:26

Got up early and went to the gym (good hangover cure!), then a long walk to the pub to pick my car up, we are lazing about now then going to go up to the pub to watch the second half of football at 6.30 then booked in at a Thai later on, I've never had Thai food before so I'm excited!!
Tomorrow not really sure yet need to do the food shopping and then probably a nice walk depending on the weather.
No don't I'll be getting called an alcoholic for the pub trips by the holier than though mners.

Freeshavocado · 01/02/2020 16:28

After all the talk on Costco on MN today I'm tempted to nip up there though..I need my chocolate brownie fix
