Marinating duck breasts in Thai 7 spice before searing then finishing off in the oven. Serving them with microwave egg fried rice & prawn crackers. DD had cheesy chips & beans earlier. Doing several loads of washing & need to lay out DD’s uniform for tomorrow. Drinking wine & considering popping out for more. I may write my Christmas card list later. Will watch I’m A Celeb, even though every year I say I won’t! Quite tired as doing overtime at work & also took a while to drop off last night so it won’t be a late one.

Just been out for a practice drive with ds2 (still allowed I infer). We went on the scary city ring road for the first time (quiet at 7pm).

Baked potatoes and salad for dinner, maybe a glass of wine. Zooming later with DD (at uni) before ironing in front of TV in pjs. We know how t live here at Casa Clary 😀😀

All the DC are in bed by some miracle, dogs are snoring and I’ve just sat down with a cup of tea and a biscuit. I’ve also just lit a Christmas candle, it’s the first time I’ve sat down this early for weeks!

Watching scooter world championships videos on YouTube under a blanket on the sofa with ds2.
Ds1 is upstairs pretending to revise.
I'm cold so might go for a hot bath in a minute. I really am living my best lifeGrin

Thursday is my evening to hide away and watch my favourite TV shows - tonight it's the new episode of This Is Us and the first in the new series of The Crown. After that I need to pack some orders for my business.

DH is on a zoom call for a company board meeting (everyone else in the US which is why it is so late)

DD is hopefully doing art coursework

DS is doing his maths and computing homework

DDog is thankfully being quiet for the first time in about 6 hours

I’m on the couch MN’g. Toddler other end of couch watching a show. H in the study working. Oldest upstairs in history class. Youngest doing his state maths test in the dining room.

KittenCalledBob · 19/11/2020 20:34

DH and DS1 are watching Bake Off from Tues.
DD is in her room, probably on her phone.
DS2 is in the shower and I'm about to read him a story.

Whohasnickedmyvodka · 19/11/2020 20:39

We are waiting for covid tests to come back dd14 is in her pit chatting to friends dd4 is in bed I'm rewatching below deck and having a Baileys hot chocolate

justleavemebe · 19/11/2020 20:39

I'm currently on the sofa mustering up the energy to to say the words " bedtime" to dd6 and listen to her cry about "5 more minutes". No doubt she'll try and stall the situation with wanting a drink, wee, cuddles. Dd16 is in her room probably on the phone to boyfriend. Dd18 is in the shower. Once I've got this one to sleep I shall watch some tv for an hour before hitting the sack.

My husband’s watching a film on Netflix, our 20 year old is playing on his PS4, our oldest son isn’t home yet (he’s a teacher and it’s parents evening) and I’m watching Frank Turner play a fundraising ‘gig’ live from his sofa for live show crew.

Wingingitsince2018 · 19/11/2020 20:42

Got a big pot of chilli and spag bol on the go, so dinner sorted for the next 2 days plus freezer portions. Impatiently waiting for DH to get home so I can eat and try a brownie DS and I made earlier!

I need to do my online asda order before 10pm but can't be bothered. 2 bottles of naice gin currently in my basket so can't help but feel it isn't the end of the world to 'forget' 😂

DS has settled in his new toddler bed beautifully on just the second night of changing over, so feeling a little smug (I don't think he has worked out her can get out yet, so I know we have that to come!)

Just opened a beer 🍺

longhaulstress · 19/11/2020 20:44

I'm lying on my bed trying to will myself to get in the shower. Dd14 is watching Netflix in her room, Ds12 is playing fifa and ranting about school to friends that I can roughly hear through the walls, dd6 is asleep.
Older 2 and I will be Watching I'm a celeb then it's bed. Feel wiped out this evening.

underneaththeash · 19/11/2020 20:50

We’ve just had a very nice confit duck with puy lentils. DD(9) is reading in bed. DS(12) watching a TV and DS(14) doing zoom explorers. Dcat is sitting in stairs looking out for Dpup who is chewing DH’s leg.
DH and I are half watching spooks.

golddustwomen · 19/11/2020 20:54

Oh working nights, dd6 asleep in bed, ds3 asleep in bed. I'm lying in bed browsing mn in absolute silence. It's fucking delightful.

cleanasawhistle · 19/11/2020 21:00

SanFrancisco49er · 19/11/2020 21:01

We had a McDonalds from Uber Eats and now each having a bubble bath before I'm a Celeb. I'm 36 and a half weeks pregnant and enjoyed my McFlurry indulgence a lot!!

SimonJT · 19/11/2020 21:04

My little monster is asleep in bed.

My partner is on his way home from work.

My PS5 arrived about half an hour ago so we’re going to open it as soon as he gets home. So excited!

chunkyrun · 19/11/2020 21:08

Friends come round to watch a movie

merryhouse · 19/11/2020 21:13

Screen screen screen.

After chilli and jacket potatoes at 6:15 (H washed up) I have been messing around on the computer, H has watched 3 episodes of Buffy and is now on Masterchef, and S2 is upstairs, probably doing homework because I can usually hear him if he's gaming with his friends.

Iminaglasscaseofemotion · 19/11/2020 21:37

Ds1 is in a huff because he's had to come off his xbox, now him and ds2 are beating lumps out each other in the living room (its all good fun until someone gets hurt, usually ds2, but I give up telling them)
I'm lying in bed watching maleficent because I'm in agony (7 months pregnant) and dp is in getting his dinner because he's just home from football, complaining there is no milk. I'm not sure why, he had car keys, money and he knows where the shop is so.......

CatsOutOfTheBag · 19/11/2020 22:01
