Come and tell me your dull and unexciting news 5: Calmly through the day

[MissConductUS]

I've started a new one. Please join us and share the boring and mundane things happening in your world. It will be calming for all.

Don't envy you with that chemical cocktail MissC but glad covid test is negative.

Dh has gone down to old house. DD is running a bath and singing to herself. Had chicken stew with dumplings and veg for lunch. Think DH is cooking Sunday roast dinner for dinner.

Indeed @Spudlet, not commonly read these days but v worth it!

I like the Phil Spector Christmas Album.

I put a string of Christmas lights up on the fireplace tonight to offset the early dark evening.

My daughter made savoury muffins this afternoon (cheddar) which were delicious 😋.

We have homemade pizza for dinner. I'm a new convert to baking and am thrilled by my amazing dough.
DH and DS are just thrilled to finally get it in the oven so they don't have to endure me peeking at it under its cloth and making gushing noises

I put our new teddy bear bedding on the bed yesterday but forgot to order a fitted sheet. I ordered one today and it's arriving tomorrow.

I’m making a chilli, and pondering the next week in Welsh lockdown. DD is now isolating, but DS and I will walk and get fresh air.

AND I’ve ordered some new slippers.

Sorted the DVDs this afternoon, so now we may be able to find the one we want to watch instead of wasting half an hour searching then settling for something else.

I would like some new slippers.

The curry I made for dinner was a bit too hot (spices not temp) so I added some more potatoes which I boiled in the microwave and little bit of coconut milk. The curry was then ok to eat.

I caught the bus home tonight.

I believe the wheels went round and round.

I’m weighing up whether to go to bed now, taking into account the time change and how late it really is, or to power through.

There’s an open box of Celebrations hidden but in reach. The children haven’t found my hiding place yet. I’m trying to make them last for half term and stop the kids from plundering the stash in a day. I should check on them and have one for quality control, right?

I should check on them and have one for quality control, right?

I think it would be irresponsible not to.

I've just got a cup of tea and bourbon biscuits.

I work nights. I thought with the clocks going back we'd finish at normal time and just have to suck up doing the extra hour. We infact had the choice of doing our contracted hours and going home "an hour early" according the the clock. Or doing the extra hour with pay. I went home 😂

I started a book last night, and finished it tonight. It made me cry.

DH and I are catching up on two episodes of Gogglebox. He refused to watch a turkey being wanked. Squeamish sod.

Also. I'm in the cats spot on the sofa. After spending evening moaning about it and bouncing around the many other chairs in here, she's squeezed in between us.

I've just been to fetch the milk in and the stars are fantastic

Woke up feeling nauseous (at 6 am) - called in sick at work.
This will probably (hopefully only) turn into another migraine. Luckily there is nothing due at work that can't wait.

Good morning. First day of half term here and delightful DS was awake at 5.15am. He insisted that he be measured upon getting up and I can confirm that he is 1.45m tall. He is 7 if that makes a difference. I am holding steady at 1.75m

Good news about little sodding, bless their furry paws.

I like your supermarket retort, @MissConductUS!

We were all at sixes and sevens this morning, I was up quite early and dithered about whether to wake housemate up as he was due to start work earlier than normal.

Then I left the house and shut the front door. Then realised I needed the loo so went back in, left again and shut the front door. Then realised I'd forgotten my face mask so went back in.

(Requirements were dull and uninteresting, right?)

Ah no, hope it clears up with a bit of rest.

I did notice the stars were very bright @BefuddledPerson

Someone pinched one of our bottles of milk from by the gate. I hope they really needed it and it wasn’t just a chancer.

Dc got their own breakfast thus morning. DS1 asked where the croissants were. Later I found an empty popcorn packet in the bin.
