Myself and DH are on the sofa with coffee. He’s reading the newspaper online and I’m MNetting.

We’re going into town today to do some shopping (not in the UK) and have a socially distanced ramble.

Dinner tonight is ribeye steaks with browned butter sauce. Can’t wait!

I'm sat mumsnetting, just done some home admin and lots of homework with DC. Dd8 is now playing minecraft, ds7 is playing on his tablet. Dh is in the kitchen cooking curry and rice for the DC and listening to his audiobook.
It's getting chilly in the living room so I'll put on the heating in a mo.

Bed linen is drying in the drier so got to put that back on then strictly and salad for tea.

Laying on the sofa with 2 blankets (I will not put my heating on in September dammit) , dogs curled up with his head resting in the crook of my knees.
Watching 24 hours in a&e and listening to the gale going on outside.

I’m very content.

Dh is reading to ds2 (he's 11 but decided he fancies it tonight)
Ds1 is in his room purportedly doing his new fitness regime (it regularly sounds as though his dumbbells are coming through the ceiling) but probably lying in his bed on his phone.
When dh comes down we'll have coffee and watch Cobra Kai - new guilty pleasure. I fancy some more chocolate but we've eaten it all, unless we crack open the Christmas tin than dh bought today.

DS has stayed up far too late watching cartoons and is sitting quietly hoping I forget to take him up to bed. Spoiler alert, he's going now.

DH is putting out the takeaway and I'm thinking about which cupboard to declutter next.

In our holiday cottage having had a takeaway. It’s a rare treat because there are no takeaways where we live. Now watching television with a glass of wine. The dog is snoozing and my husband is reading some work papers whilst we half watch BGT.
We’ve been swimming in the sea and had a lovely walk today, so happy to relax this evening.

Kids have just gone to bed, later than usual because we watched a film together.

I've had a couple of drinks, husband and I now sitting side by side on the internet! That'll probably be it until bedtime

Husband is still at the garage playing with his bus ( yep, a real one) . Kids ( 18, 16 twins and 4 months ) are all in their rooms. I'm sitting on the sofa with my iPad trying to think about Christmas and whether I can be arsed with roast potatoes tomorrow.

My dog and I have sloped off to bed. My DD2 is cooking a late dinner for herself and the 18 year old lass from our street whose partner beat shit out of her yesterday morning.

DD2 drives me to distraction much of the time 😀 but just occasionally she'll do something to make me wonder how someone as cynical as me managed to give birth to such a good hearted young woman.
