I've retreated to bed with an ear infection and pounding headache so feeling sorry for myself Grin

What's everyone up to tonight? What did you have nice for dinner? Anything good on TV?

Sitting on the sofa with 2 dogs asleep next to me, drinking home-made sloe gin.

I've ordered a friend's Christmas present, have been browsing MN and am about to trot off and order some dog food.

@FiveGoMadInDorset - goodbye Christopher Robin , a total nostalgia fest - enjoy!
I'm on the the couch feet tucked up, glass of wine in hand , Ddog snoring in his bed beside me, DH on the other couch playing around on his iPad , waiting for goggle box to come on the TV. It's all good.

I'm sitting in the living room of our lovely caravan we've hired for the week. We're at the coast in the north east of England. It's blowing a gale and cold so the heating is cranked up. DS will hopefully be asleep soon and me and DH can have a rare evening together and a glass of wine.

DawnAnn · 25/09/2020 20:57

Just had a takeaway with DH. Sitting with the cat on my knee and deciding what to watch on TV.

Mydogmylife · 25/09/2020 20:58

@Soosiesoo
X post re goggle box! Hope it's a good one tonight

Phillycheesesteak · 25/09/2020 21:01

Chilling out. I cancelled a date due to anxiety

MsAwesomeDragon · 25/09/2020 21:04

I've just marked some tests that my year 11 class did yesterday. And I'm watching Thor while I work. Such a fun evening!!!

FiveGoMadInDorset · 25/09/2020 21:10

@mydoglife such a lovely film

MrsXx4 · 25/09/2020 21:13

My period arrived today after faint positive pregnancy tests this week. We’re only on month 3 of trying so I know it’s still early days but disappointed nonetheless! We’ve had a nice dinner, our little boy is tucked up in bed and I’m about to eat my body weight in chocolate and tea while watching Netflix.

Drogonssmile · 25/09/2020 21:27

Nearly fell asleep when reading to DS1 so popped downstairs to watch an episode of Ratched on Netflix with DH and have now retired to bed with the cat.

Dementedswan · 25/09/2020 21:37

In local lockdown area, falling out with friend over Messenger who sent youngest school with her mam who is a childminder... and her oldest is the best friend and close contact of the person that shut down 3 year groups in primary. Why ? Why send your kids to school while waiting on a covid test?!

Sarahandduck18 · 25/09/2020 21:38

Watching film with dp and dd.
Drinking wine.

ZarasHouse · 25/09/2020 21:39

Waiting for a curry to be delivered, then shall be watching Ratched on Netflix. Hope it's worth the hype!

Thecazelets · 25/09/2020 21:45

All teenage dc out, so a rare evening with just dh and me in front of GBBO on catchup. I enjoyed it so much - a bit unexpected, and made me realise I haven't laughed properly in quite a while. Lit the log burner so very cosy. We had a curry delivered earlier from a fab place we'd never tried until a few weeks ago.

smilingthroughgrittedteeth · 25/09/2020 21:46

DS and youngest DD are having a sleepover at nannys house and DP is working so DD age 3 and i ordered mcdonalds for dinner, watched a film and she got to stay up really late (7.45pm Grin). Shes asleep and ive been snuggled up with Ddog watching Michael Mcintyre under a blanket because its freezing.

Iminaglasscaseofemotion · 25/09/2020 21:47

Been in bed watching the fall since 7. Had take away. Feel a bit shit because I'm pregnant and I don't myself in cleaning earlier. The fall has been turned off bow because arsehole took his opportunity to turn it off and play PlayStation while I was clearing up after dinner! Now I'm on mn, thinking of going for a bath.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 25/09/2020 21:50

I've been for a short run, did my stretches then had a nice bath. Dinner was a fish stew that was in the freezer. I'm watching a korean zombie film with dh now.

ScottishDream · 25/09/2020 21:50

We did pizza and a cartoon film with the children earlier. I'm now sat re-watching Peep Show interspersed with browsing mumsnet. DH has gone up for an early night and it's nice to be alone.

SalemSaberhagenSpellman · 25/09/2020 21:53

Watching friends and drinking copious amounts of wine. It's been a long week and I promise if one more customer shouted and swore at me I may have resigned

troppibambini · 25/09/2020 21:56

Dh and the kids had a McDonald's for dinner I had spaghetti and meatballs. Everyone is tired and grouchy so all four dc are in bed and me and dh are watching Michael McIntyre and faffing on iPads.
So far I've bought 3 prints, a new light fitting, a roll of wallpaper and some new boots.

hurraz · 25/09/2020 21:59

Fed up worked 07.15-20.15 in a job I despise .

I am now feeling sorry for myself in bed with a cold.

Frownette · 25/09/2020 22:00

@ShellsAndSunrises how exciting!

I'm drinking a coke with tons of ice and lemon, going to have a late night walk to find out where local park is. I wouldn't go in it this time of night but would like to find the entrance so I know the whereabouts for daylight.

It'd be nice to have a stroll now traffic is dying down as well. There was a thread on here recently about how quiet it is where you live and I put quiet, having second thoughts now Grin

gingerbeerandlemonade · 25/09/2020 22:02

Cracked open the Christmas gin from M&S, snuggled on sofa with dh watching criminal. Both kids asleep. Bliss.

1moreRep · 25/09/2020 22:04

Got back from wrestling training for the kids and I at 9 so popped them to bed, poured a large glass of drink and jumped in the hot tub with dp. Had a full cycle (as it massages different areas in different seats) then got in our pjs and are watching cobra Kai

Train To Busan?

We watched that last week. Loved it!
