Just caught up with DM on the phone. DH has made another whole meal loaf. His bread is soooo good! DD12 has moaned about not having enough chips for tea & that there’s nothing else she can have. She really reminds me of Kevin The Teenager! “ There’s Never Anything To Eat”! The whole food thing with her drives me mad as she’s incredibly fussy. I try to take a step back but find it really difficult & we have ended up arguing about it all quite often. Today DH & I have both offered to cook with her, hoping that if she had more input she might try different things, but she flatly refused. I feel sorry for her because she’s missing out on a whole world of flavours 😢
I didn’t work today & didn’t get up til nearly 10am. The day seems to have disappeared! Cleaned the kitchen, hoovered & thought about mopping the floor! Spent some time with our gorgeous bunnies. Went to Aldi for bleach & bananas & ended up with a lot more, including a pair of fur lined snug boots ( ankle boots) for £7.50. Trying to sort out my defence for a parking fine which was nearly a year ago. Luckily I have someone helping me who has dealt with many similar cases. It’s been quite stressful as I did nothing wrong & feel like a criminal! Determined not to pay! Looking forward to lamb steaks with garlic & rosemary, Dauphinois potatoes & broccoli for tea. I was poorly earlier in the week & now making up for my loss of appetite. Not sure what we’re watching later. I’m still into Married At First Sight Australia but DH thinks it’s rubbish!

I'm cooking dinner (chicken satay skewers) whilst DH watches boring car videos on YouTube. He washed the cars earlier whilst I've been off I'll from work and just starting to perk up and feel hungry. He's also fitted some electronic doorbells to our back door as I'm having massive dog theft fears in the night. He's a good egg. Might watch a film in a bit..

H1978 · 18/02/2021 20:02

Just catching up on some YouTube videos, dcs playing overcooked 2 on the switch. Dh catching up on some work. Probably head up to bed soon, it’s been a busy day and I need an early night.

lachy · 18/02/2021 20:13

Bugger all going on here. DH is watching SWAT and I'm killing time until I can be bothered to go to bed.

Serena1977 · 18/02/2021 20:14

Kids are in the rooms being quite noisy, routine has gone out the window since lockdown.
Just had chicken salad for tea. Both me and dh have had our vaccines today.
Going up to bed soon to chill and do crosswords. Dh will watch something on his iPad with his wireless ears.
We could all do with an early night.
Lockdown is really taking its toll psychologically on dd9 at the moment
:( so trying to keep her spirits up.

MiddleClassMother · 18/02/2021 20:16

Kids are in bed, DH having a beer in the study watching some shit on his tv and I'm lounging on the sofa with a bottle of wine and work emails... The dog is cuddled up with me at least

FossilisedFanny · 18/02/2021 20:21

We’ve just had beef in ale with veg and roasted potatoes and now tucking into some posh brownies that dd got for her birthday. We’re watching Only Fools and Horses on Netflix.

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 18/02/2021 20:22

Just cooking dinner. Macaroni cheese and salad for everyone except DH whose having carrot and coriander soup and chunks of bread. All from batch cooked freezer stuff that needed using but also cos it’s quick as we’ve been busy back and forth to the vets. One of our little guinea pigs had to be pts as he went down hill really fast this afternoon. He’d been happy and wheeking and eating his beloved veggies right up until the last minute then he just went all of a sudden. He was very old and he’d had a lovely life. Spent the last hour or so digging a little spot for him under an oak tree in the garden. We’re all going to miss the little guy ❤️🙁

I'm in the bath all night (having a miscarriage) my son is watching TV in his room and my partner is switching between sat on the toilet talking to me, and playing on his Xbox when I tell him to piss off and stop gawping at me.

lachy · 18/02/2021 20:43

@Ironytheoppositeofwrinkly so sorry Flowers

Nothing - I will go to be soon. DS is eating, DD has finished uni work and is watching sth, DH is still working.

EternalOptimist7 · 18/02/2021 22:39

What’s sth?

Justmuddlingalong · 18/02/2021 22:42

I found a forgotten about dark chocolate orange in the cupboard. I've eaten 3/4 of it and now have a headache and feel sick. Serves me right for being a greedy bitch.

Prokupatuscrakedatus · 18/02/2021 22:43

@EternalOptimist7
Sorry - I wrongly shortened 'something' to sth as in I have no idea what she is watching, probably a Chinese or Korean series.

ToDoListAddict · 18/02/2021 22:56

I tried to make some salt dough crafts but think my oven was too hot or something and they all puffed up. I'll try again tomorrow.
What was funny was my husband asking why I chucked them all in the bin - I said because they all puffed up. I can't decorate them like that. He said he still would have ate them Grin

He was completely baffled when I said they weren't edible!

ToDoListAddict · 18/02/2021 22:58

@Judashascomeintosomemoney so sorry about your guinea pig Thanks
The smallest things leave the biggest holes in our hearts x

@Ironytheoppositeofwrinkly sending you virtual hugs 🫂

WhyIsMyKitchenSoCold · 18/02/2021 23:03

We had chicken and cabbage for dinner which everyone enjoyed. Then we watched some tv and DD and I did some of the jigsaw we are working on. She went upstairs to chat to friends online and DS wandered downstairs and did some more of the puzzle with me. He’s 13 and furious about everything and rarely chooses to spend time with us, so it was lovely having him next to me chatting to him. Now they are both in bed reading and I’m drinking a cup of tea before I hang up the washing and have a shower.

ssd · 18/02/2021 23:10

Irony, I'm so sorry Flowers

I'm sat on one couch,Dh on the other,both on our phones. I turned off the telly, had enough of gardening programs and covid.

I've hardly been out all day. Bored stiff. Feel flat as a pancake.

Mydogisagentleman · 19/02/2021 06:21

Drinking coffee, watching the dog try to chew his elbow and getting ready, slowly for work

Ikora · 19/02/2021 08:34

I had a bit of an argument with DS as he was gaming and I wanted to go to bed and am a light sleeper. I am not anti gaming, we even game together. So had a terrible nights sleep.

ssd that’s it just flat, my poor sister is seriously ill and being investigated for a condition I have never heard of before, I’m super stressed about that. My sciatica has flared up so everything is a struggle with the pain levels.
