I am going to take the dogs for a walk near a bird sanctuary (dogs allowed if on leads).

I am going to try and persuade the Dcs to come with me, but they saw me getting into my dog walking kit and quickly said they were exhausted and went back to bed.

Might make meatloaf for dinner after watching this on Diners Drives Ins and Dives just now.

Then we have homework and getting a start on the week ahead for work in front of us.

It's a lovely sunny day here in Italy so I guess I will be staying in as per usual!

BillywilliamV · 15/03/2020 07:34

Preparing tents, etc. for a D of E challenge that almost certainly won't happen...Maybe in the Autumn now!

hannabarbera · 15/03/2020 07:36

Run, nails, get some supplies in for dad who is currently on holiday in Spain, and supposedly flying home on Tuesday then according to the news, will have to self isolate for months! Then collect DD from work, then relax.

Buying milk as we have run out, hay for the rabbits, then laundry, housework and paperwork. Living my best life WinkGrin

Bluewater1 · 15/03/2020 08:08

Laundry, washing up....

PotteringAlong · 15/03/2020 08:11

Middle one off to a party then meeting DH and DS1 and 3 for a mooch around town. Maybe tea out if we fancy it!

wendz86 · 15/03/2020 08:12

Eldest has gymnastics and they want to pick up their world book day books so quick trip to the shops.

YewandOak · 15/03/2020 08:12

I'm at the station waiting for the train to go to work. Pouring with rain so not much else to do.

CherryPavlova · 15/03/2020 08:13

I’ve got the lurgy.
Wallowing at home and hope it doesn’t worsen.

DVDs and TV, reading, walk around the garden, a bit of knitting maybe, writing some work stuff, remote scrabble with a friend using a board in each house at 3pm, tidying wardrobe and running repairs, laundry, Mumsnet, drinking lots of tea.

clary · 15/03/2020 08:24

Football match this morning, going for a run while they warm up.

Fetching dd from uni as no more face to face stuff so she may as well be at home (her flat mates are not nice so she's not keen to be there).

Tutoring my GCSE student this pm.

Ironing this evening.

My exciting life!

Crunchymum · 15/03/2020 08:28

Swimming, shopping, cleaning, then take away and a film later.

Although DC1 seems a bit iffy so I suspect we have a tummy bug on the horizon (it's a perfectly healthy DC that has swimming!!)

Violetroselily · 15/03/2020 08:29

Just getting ready to go for a swim at the lido. Outdoor swimming is my new favourite thing.

Desperately need to catch up on some work so will probably do that this afternoon.

Aragog · 15/03/2020 08:29

A bit of prep for school tomorrow.

Hopefully going for a walk. We live very close to the countryside so a non crowded walk to get some fresh air.

Supposed to be going to the golf club to finalise plans for DD's 18th but think we will try and do it by phone now. This golf club is likely to be full of lots of older men. And will be discussing alternative dates as we aren't convinced it will go ahead later next month at the month. We've already had to cancel the birthday holiday we'd planned. Not going to be quite the 18th we'd planned for her at this rate but we can at least rearrange for later in the year after A levels.

devildeepbluesea · 15/03/2020 08:31

Dog walk, gym, dye hair then possibly visit friends while I still can. None of us are symptomatic and I'll be washing my hands frequently....

dementedma · 15/03/2020 08:35

Meeting dd and the new boyfriend. Been told to wear something nice and behave...
Collecting a garden table for my mother
Tackling the ironing pile

elQuintoConyo · 15/03/2020 08:35

I'm green with envy of all you going to the pool, shopping, having tea out. I'm going stir crazy in Barcelona, only one at a time allowed out with the dog. I've seen a video of someone who made a swing for their daughter underneath their balcony Grin

I might take DS up to the roof with some outdoor chalks and toy cars.

vingt · 15/03/2020 08:36

Even bad behaviour is behaving WinkGrin

dellacucina · 15/03/2020 08:38

Doing my US taxes

Making lentil soup to eat through the week

Cleaning

It will be a very exciting day.

DeathMetalMum · 15/03/2020 08:39

I need to do the garden. Dd has a cough so is staying at home for the next week. So I need to get the garden done so she can at least get outside for a bit each day. We would normally be at gymnastics this morning.

Will also do loads of laundry, maybe the ironing. Other bits and bobs to get ready for the week. Tonight I will be getting on with some coursework, while DP watches a film.

Lalallama · 15/03/2020 08:39

I was thinking of going to a garden centre today to get compost, bedding plant seeds, etc. Then if we do end up having to stay at home at least I can do some gardening which helps my mental health.

Sittinonthefloor · 15/03/2020 08:40

Having a lie in! Was going to go for a walk (we live in the country) but it’s raining now. Plan cover lessons for the week ahead. Make dcs do homework. Iron shirts, sort out laundry. Cuddle dogs. Cuddle children.

Artinsurance · 15/03/2020 08:40

Waiting in for a new cooker

Sittinonthefloor · 15/03/2020 08:41

I should make it clear that the children I’m cuddling are mine!

Chocolatecake12 · 15/03/2020 08:45

Making a roast pork dinner and some leek and potato soup for work lunches.
Ironing and getting ready for work and school next week.
Maybe a walk out in the fresh air, I’ve had a cold all week - a cold, not Coronavirus- and it’s coming to an end thank goodness

Gotthetshirt23 · 15/03/2020 08:47

Dog walking which includes litter picking after recent high tides the plastic beach litter is terrible . Then walking to the pub for Sunday lunch Grin
