Anyone up to much? The rain has stopped at last & we have blue skies! Will probably have to bring the bunnies in later as no doubt there will be fireworks going off. Hate them! DD11 & I had a nice little trip into town. She actually managed to save some pocket money & bought some nice Bluetooth headphones. She’s popped round to a friend’s & I’m enjoying a cheese toastie with coleslaw. Lots of housework & sorting to do. We’re not really bothering with Halloween. Having giant hotdogs & Heinz tomato soup for tea. Haven’t even got a pumpkin but DD’s really not bothered now there’s no trick or treating.

We have a food delivery later so hopefully everything arrives to make haggis, neeps and tatties and because its a blue moon tonight ive also got myself a couple of blue moon beers to enjoy!

We had a lovely lazy morning and now are getting ready to head to the park as the sun has come out. I have done some online Christmas shopping too.

Purplecatshopaholic · 31/10/2020 12:32

DP bought me an Ludovico Einaudi album ‘just for being you’, bless him - so we are listening to that and vegging out not doing the housework, lol. Weather awful so not going out either. Films on the sofa later...It’s All Go here - errr, not

Just done a massive olio pick up from a wholesalers so my lounge is full of drinks waiting to be requested. Kids are going to their dads in a bit

Doobydoo · 31/10/2020 12:40

Raining and really windy here.

MysweetAudrina · 31/10/2020 12:41

Dd12 and ddog are in the bed with me. Ds11 is just out of the shower and dh is at work. I got up early and did an online yoga class, and put on a wash and fed the pets. Made myself some breakfast and brought it back up to bed with me and had a snooze. Shopping later and then takeaway, treats and scary movie.

Doobydoo · 31/10/2020 12:41

I am going to watch The Witches later.

Pascha · 31/10/2020 12:42

We're about to go swimming, then grab some food after and home for Halloween stuff with the kids.

Paranoidmarvin · 31/10/2020 12:50

I’m waiting till the right time to leave. I have to have my back facing dash cam taken out. Don’t really want to. But there it is. And it is pouring with rain. Ugh.

roarfeckingroarr · 31/10/2020 13:20

Two week old DS kept me up since 3am but he's lying snoozing on me being incredibly cute now while I watch last night's Corrie and DP tidies up and empties bins etc. I'm going back to bed soon for an hour, then we will bath baby, put him in his Halloween outfit and take him out to our local pub for one before one of us makes toad in the hole for dinner 🥰.

dolphinpose · 31/10/2020 13:23

DH is redecorating downstairs loo. I am doing some easy work online with TV on and MN on the side.

Bunnybigears · 31/10/2020 13:33

DS13 is having to self isolate because of contact with a positive child at school, found out on the first day of half term. He is bored stupid and is upstairs in his bedroom pounding the treadmill. DS10 is playing on the xbox. DH has gone to the shop for drinks and snacks for while we watch the rugby later. I am suffering from feline paralysis as the youngest cat has made herself comfy on my knee, the other 2 cats are snoring on the sofa and the dog is wandering about looking for DH.

Dinosaursdontgrowontrees · 31/10/2020 13:37

Dh is sanding a wall preparing to paint.
I’m making tea.
Ds (4) is watching paw patrol
Dd (8) is upstairs probably on her iPad on listening to music.

ssd · 31/10/2020 13:37

I'm in bed on my phone. We were all ready for a trip out earlier but after checking the weather reports decided to stay in.
Just had toasties. Ds in his room.
No mixing allowed here, restaurants and pubs shut.

Lipz · 31/10/2020 13:39

We're all here just relaxing, we're currently 2 weeks into a 6 week lock down (Ireland) so the only places we can go is supermarkets or chemist 😂😂 we're flicking between CNN and Sky watching the dramatics about the Presidential election in USA and the panic and uproar over the UK going into lock down.

FunTimes2020 · 31/10/2020 13:40

Teen DD is at her part time job. Me and DH had a nap and then a nice warm bath together! In our 50s, not as slim or agile as we were but still manage it from time to time! Going to do a spot of housework in a bit.

gingercat02 · 31/10/2020 13:43

Lazy morning everyone on various screens 😊. Pulled pork in the oven as a nod to Halloween, load of washing spinning as I type. DH and I watching F1 qualifying. Probably a games afternoon looking the weather 🌫🌬🌨 DS already has chosen Hubie Halloween for a film later

Amrythings · 31/10/2020 13:49

DH has just staggered off to lie down, because he's put his back out, DSD is upstairs doing whatever one does when 17 and cruelly barred from going to stay at friends' houses, DS is napping on me, having strategically draped himself to prevent any attempt at doing anything with my left arm or leg, so I am resigned to my fate and watching Netflix.

tempnamechange98765 · 31/10/2020 13:52

In Wales here where there is a fire break lockdown but even worse it hasn't stopped raining for a week. Until this afternoon woohoo!

DC2 just woke from nap so we are going to welly/puddle suit up and head out for a forest walk.

MoonBaby1 · 31/10/2020 13:54

Very little! Dc still in pyjamas. Unlimited screen time and dh is getting ready for work.
It’s raining hard.
Bored in the house!!!

SimonJT · 31/10/2020 14:13

My son is doing halloween sweetie hunt number two, I’m having a break from making halloween themed bits for our picnic tea.

Currently pretending my partner doesn’t exist as he watched the first new episode of the Mandalorian without me.

GreekOddess · 31/10/2020 14:58

I'm sat at the kitchen table drinking Prosecco and watching the rugby. Dh is doing the holiday washing (a man's work is never done Wink).

Ds1 is getting ready for a sleepover that may or may not happen depending on Boris's announcement later and he is also helping ds2 download a new computer game.

It's relatively calm for a change.

frustrationcentral · 31/10/2020 15:03

Not a lot! DS1(16) is asleep 🙄, DS2(11) is watching something weird on YouTube and DH and I are getting ready to nip into town quickly

Looking forward to a Chinese takeaway tonight and finishing watching The haunting of Bly manor virtually with my SIL

lucysmam · 31/10/2020 15:35

We've not long been back from a walk to Lidl for packed lunch things for next week.

The girls have done a small sweet hunt with clues & eaten some of the sweets. Dd1's vanished upstairs, dd2's watching Minecraft in the living room.

Thinking about takeaway for tea tonight maybe 🤔 I'm going to do some of my crochet and see in a bit.
