What’s Happening In Your House?

[EternalOptimist7]

My day has been an odd one so far & everything feels just not quite right - can’t explain it really. It hasn’t helped that I’ve had awful stomach ache & it’s really cold ( sea mist I think). I haven’t eaten anything so about to have an open sandwich. DH has made another amazing loaf. DD12 is painting Harry Potter Ravenclaw House panels on her bedroom wall. I was dreading the mess but she’s actually done a very neat job. She was standing on her bed admiring her work, stumbled then made me laugh by saying “ Don’t fall off your bed kids”. We were also amused by a bit of masking tape which had stuck to her light shade. This doesn’t sound like much but I treasure these shared moments as DD more or less lives in her room these days.
Just realised I hadn’t replaced my HRT patch so that explains some of the being out of sorts. Having a DIY tea as I forgot to defrost my lamb rogan josh, the pilau rice for both of us & the Naans. May buy a chicken to roast tomorrow.

DH has driven DS to get his Covid jab (and then onto the co-op to buy him a load of beige freezer food on offer).
I'm staying home, still in my jammies because I have no compelling reason to wear clothes.

I've got a gammon in the slow cooker for tea and I have bought myself some cheese sauce as a treat even though I'm the only one who likes it. DH is painting DS 13s bedroom ceiling, DS 13 is in the bath ad he is isolating and running out of things to entertain himself with. DS10 is in his toom on the xbox. I am acclimatising some new tropical fish and cant leave the room incase the cats get too curious so unfortunately I am having to drink a shandy and watch the rugby.

The dds are in the garden feeding random leaves to our mini Rex rabbit. I'm sitting in the kitchen having a coffee and a read before I start frog taping the bathroom. I might paint 2 walls today. It's a pale grey. We are doing lots of smartening in neutral colours as house is going on the market in 12 months.
Dp is asleep in the lounge with the dog. We had a walk in the woods after we picked up the idiot spaniel from the groomers so that's flooded them both.

I was up at 5:30am. Started my supermarket shift at 6:30am. Dh took dd10 out to work with him, then treated her to an egg McMuffin (without the meat!).
Came home, went for a walk with dog and dd.

I’m following the 5:2 plan, so fasting today......sooo hungry now! Can’t wait until dinner.
Dd has just gone up to chat with her friend on zoom. Dh is napping on the sofa. I might do the same!

We've been for a walk to town and back. Bought veg and salad for the week from the market & some packed lunch bits in Home Bargains.

I bought a random soap sponge that looked fun, too & was eyeing up some nice looking soaps so will get one of those next time.

I'm just browsing yarn for a jumper I want to make myself - free shipping over £20 spend & I have a discount code so taking advantage of those even though I have two projects on the go.

Both girls are chilled out, upstairs. I'm not likely to see them now until we order tea (pizzas) so will enjoy crocheting in peace.

Oh, the washer's just finished too so I'll hang that to dry first.

17 year old DS has a strop on about something, 14 year old DD is on her switch talking to her friend who moved away, DH has fallen asleep in a chair watching some shit car programme and I'm baking. Normal Saturday afternoon at the moment.

Me and DS 3yo are lying on my bed. I'm on Mumsnet (clearly) and DS is sat on my feet playing with a tipper truck and half heartedly watching his iPad. We had a great time at the play park this morning and both a bit tired now so just chilling. It's lovely actually.

DH and DD napping; I've got all sorts of odd cravings so currently trying to decide if I fancy a burger or a satsuma. It's a tough life here.

Obviously burger.

Dh watching football in kitchen,dd gone to shop, ds on his screen in his room, me lying under heated throw feeling lethargic and half heartedly watching rugby. Bed had to be stripped thanks to fleabag of a cat. Bedding on line, .,de-flead cat sulking at the indignity of it all.

DS2 is at his nans. So all is very quiet. I'm reading and DS1 is on the laptop playing minecraft. Dp is at work.

Dd has gone for a walk with her friend, DH is doing some planning for next week (teacher) and I have just been to get petrol and vacuum the car as I took a carpet to the tip the other week and it left bits everywhere. Now I'm having a cup of tea and sitting with cats.

DH is at work. DS1 is gaming in the summerhouse.

DS2 has, inexplicably decided to tidy his room and, having also sorted out all the clothes in his wardrobe, he is now VACUUMING. THE. FLOOR. Unbidden. I appear to have entered the twilight zone.

Been to a nursery to buy hedging, then a lovely walk along the river. Ate leftover chilli for lunch and now watching the rugby with my son, it’s the only time we get together apart from dinner. Hubby at work but coming home to watch the England match.

DH has been for a bike ride and is having a late lunch. DS1 is glued to the Xbox. DS2 is reading a book of ghost stories. I am half way through cleaning out the guinea pigs’ cage, they are running around in the hall while I do. Very boring day! I didn’t get up til 10.

Weekend off work. DD5 announced she was having a pj day when she woke up. Older DD and DS are out. DH is watching the horse racing. Iv made chicken kebabs for tea. Have tomorrow’s roast to prep later. Nothing much really. Probably go for a nice stroll after tea

Manic DIY and odd jobs before I go to work tonight.

House is having photos done later this week ready for going on the market. So windows are getting cleaned, DD has been told for the 1000001th time to clear the crap off her desk/bookshelf/bedside table.amd to tidy her room. A door has been rehung. I've painted the fireplace, pictures have been hung. All whilst trying to do the laundry, make tea and stop a toddler from doing herself a mischief

Not much, here ! Oh has been to work and is now downstairs. No idea what he's doing. Ds in his room. No idea what he's doing either. I'm lay in bed with my beautiful dog. He is snoring, which is making me laugh. I, too, am ( clearly), on mumsnet, with the odd word game thrown in, to keep my mind healthy. A very lazy day.
I was feeling optimistic re.covid situation but just googled some news, and am now in danger of getting down. Like everyone else, I've had enough.

Might have pizza for tea. And did someone mention shandy?

Up early as usual for ‘coffee date’ with DH and tacked today’s cryptic crossword with great success. I went out for an arranged walk with DS29 for a catch up. A real treat for me and a lovely 6 miles in our local area. Back for lunch and a quick look on MN before thinking of what else to do. DH is doing garden stuff and DS24 is out for a walk. Having a great day.

Ds(6) and (7) are playing Jurassic world upstairs with bil
Me and dh are having a brew and chilling with the dog.
Dd(10) is chattering to her mates on an iPad, she's meant to be doing her tutor homework.
Dd(15) is upstairs revising for the exams school have told them are happening in six weeks.

I should be painting upstairs but can't be bothered. We are having a curry take out for tea.

Dog walked
Bacon sarnies consumed
Cassoulet in the aga

Super Saturday 6N's rugby on the tv until late as the Wales game doesn't kick off until gone 8pm.

We have cakes as well as equally unhealthy bits and bobs to graze through three games

Cleaned up two loads of cat sick one middle of the night and then early morning - wonderful. Tidied, pottered around in the garden in the sunshine. DS17 out for a socially distanced walk with 1 friend. DH and DS2 were out at music exams for bass and drums. DH now working in the sunshine in the garden on our fire pit erection.

I have done some studying this morning while DH went to the tip. Right now we are cosied up on the sofa with the puppy. DH is watching tv. I'm about to get off the laptop and read a book. We have cancelled the carer for my mum tonight. We are having a later than usual tea (Chinese takeaway) and will watch the Wales v France rugby together.

Enjoyed a walk round the local country park with dh & dcs first thing this morning. Since the weather is so nice I had a potter around the garden, weeding and clearing the borders.
Teen DD has made a sticky toffee pudding and is now chilling in her room.
DS is playing mind craft on the Xbox and dh had a poor nights sleep so is napping.
Pizza (takeaway) for tea will watch a movie & enjoy a glass or 2 of wine.

DD is in her room, I’m mucking about on here and DH is asleep. Dogs all walked, sorted my wardrobe, cleaned, tip run and sorted out the porch which had become a dumping ground. Busy day so chilling now
