I'm going to hoover my patio, what are you up to?

Well I was going to hoover indoors, but that's a wasted effort if I don't hoover all the birch seeds outside first. Then I'll bake a cake for poor ds, who is ill and take it to him this evening.

What are you up to?

I’m sat on my backside watching tv. Not at the gym where I’m supposed to be Confused

Sat watching a programme about brain surgery.
I'm supposed to be tiling the bathroom Blush

@Rowgtfc72 I’m watching re runs if Charmed. I’m 44 years old. It’s embarrassing Blush yet here I am.

Thinking about what to make for tea...I have no inspiration at all tonight 🙄

The girls are no use either; they don't know what to have. Dd1 is about to make me a cup of tea though.

Keeping DC quiet and in one room while DH interviews people online for work. Then cooking dinner, having dinner, getting DC ready for bed, going to work for a night shift.

I'm just washing all my skirting boards and woodwork and polishing my brass ornaments. Then I am going to arrange some flowers and read an improving book.

@Paranoidmarvin, I remember Charmed. I'm 48 and wondering if I should be an adult and see what the teenager is doing or put Land Girls on instead.
Have spent the morning at work discussing proper kids tv. Mr Ben, Pipkins, Camberwick Green and Ivor The Engine. I had to fess up and admit I've got most of them on dvd and do still watch them!

lucysmam I know the lack of inspiration all to well, how about tortillas?

Cake cooling, will need a trim when cold.

I made tea earlier while my toddler was playing nicely, and then she got fed up so we are watching Doc McStuffins and having a chill before we eat tea in 15 mins or so. Been a long day of potty training on my own today, waiting (not so) patiently for my husband to come home!!!!

@giantangryrooster I pulled frozen fish & chips from the freezer & we had those in the end. Tortillas would have been much more interesting .

Tomorrow is meatballs so maybe tortillas on Thursday now.

I feel so stupid hoovering outside, but my floors end up looking like the patio, if I don't do it Hmm.
