We're just having what we call "picky tea". So dd1 and I have supernoodles, and dd2 has put together a more interesting platter of tiger bread, salami & pepperoni, some cheeses, a pear and a few other bits. I plan to have a bag of toffee nibbles for dessert, and a glass of wine (don't shout at me for being unhealthy, this doesn't happen often!).

After tea I might run a bath for myself. They'll definitely vanish upstairs to watch various Minecraft streamers & I'm probably going to carry on with one of my crochet projects.

What about all of you? :)

I'm currently eating a Sri Lankan sambar Bol pot and drinking a glass of wine. Kids all eating pizza and watching cartoons. Have done a shop,cleaned house and done a workout today so quite productive Smilewill have another glass of wine and read my book/watch tv this evening.

I’m actually going out with friends for food and drinks for the first time in over a year!! I am so excited to have a husband and child free few hours again (I do love them both dearly)

We have been out all day at a farm. DS is now watching YouTube, I'm going to grill some salmon for dinner. I'm in my PJs and about to have a glass of prosecco. I'm tired, been up at 5am every day this week for work so it's going to be an early night!

Repeating ad infinitum 'sit down and eat your dinner' to my 6 year old.
Having a cup of tea.
Giving my 7m old new unusual things to eat. Probably screwing up my night's sleep by doing so.

embolass · 01/05/2021 18:03

Hub and Ds2 making dinner as I’ve been working. Enjoying a wine just now , then some TV or a film. Love reading what others up too!

vampirethriller · 01/05/2021 18:07

The toddler and I just had pasta and meatballs and now we're having a Parma violet ice lolly. Making a cup of coffee and doing bath time soon.

BloodyGoodRep · 01/05/2021 18:08

We’ve just ordered a pizza from our favourite restaurant to delivered in a hour and I’m
Just about get in the bath. DS is at his dads till Monday so me and DP are having the pizza and watching Nomadland which I’m very excited about!

BetterKateThanNever · 01/05/2021 18:13

Good evening, your 'picky tea' sounds lovely!

DH and I made pizzas this evening (yes, we're really that bored) which failed miserably so we've ordered chinese instead. While I wait for that to arrive I'm going to unpack and wash the ginormous ASOS order that arrived earlier, and then devour dinner in front of the telly.

niceupthedance · 01/05/2021 18:14

I just lost at chess to DS, DP is out djing at an outdoor sit down thing and the dog is looking depressed as he only had a short walk today

foxywheaton75 · 01/05/2021 18:18

Just walked the dogs. Burgers and chips for tea. Wine is chilling, looking forward to new gardening programme on later.
Teenagers busy online and husband watching rugby. Boring but lovely evening for m.

Orangebug · 01/05/2021 18:20

Waiting for friends to come over for an outdoor drink on the patio.

lljkk · 01/05/2021 18:25

DH cooks.
I am pondering wine.
My tummy is rumbling (I have a very noisy stomach)
DS & I have agreed to blitz on Stranger Things after tea.

I'm sure I wrote a list of "useful things I could do this weekend" and none of it is happening so far. Blush

MusicWithRocksIn1t · 01/05/2021 18:34

I'm at work on a massive break sitting in my car with no children speaking at me :)

Ewanispurple · 01/05/2021 18:53

Both DC in bed and fast asleep! DH and I are already in our PJs, planning what Movie to watch whilst having leftover Chilli with Salad. Feeling very smug we cleaned the house from top to bottom earlier so there's nothing to do tonight apart from Relax. Hurrah! Grin

palmstree · 01/05/2021 19:02

Waiting for out of hours GP to call me back for a horrific urine infection SadSadSad

alabaster11 · 01/05/2021 19:06

DDs will be in bed soon (preschoolers) then DH and I will probably order a takeaway because we've been out all day and haven't got anything to cook!

Then DH will probably do some work and I'll curl up on the sofa with ddog and watch a film.

purrswhileheeats · 01/05/2021 19:10

I've been scrubbing the house and preparing food for my lunch guests tomorrow - it's Easter where I live so a big celebration. Kalo Pasca!!

cheeseychovolate · 01/05/2021 19:14

Been to National Trust today. Had McDonald's for tea, just put toddler to bed, teen upstairs watching TV and we're about to watch the snooker, I find it so relaxing. Smile

MissConductUS · 01/05/2021 19:16

It's Saturday afternoon here in New York. I've just done a shop with DS at Whole Foods, changed the bedsheets and done a bit of vacuuming. The men are making grilled burgers and mac & cheese for dinner. I'm about to have a nap.

StarFriend · 01/05/2021 19:17

Been for a woodland walk with dh, Ds and dd.
Eaten takeaway.
Dh now bathing kids while I'm hiding in the ensuite mumsnetting.
Then probably just watch tele.

SunbathingDragon · 01/05/2021 19:19

I’m hoping the children go to sleep without a fuss so I can read my book, with my cat curled up on me.

CapitanSandy · 01/05/2021 19:57

Love hearing what everyone is up to. I’ve had a lazy day after a fairly stressful week. Just had an Indian takeaway and about to start watching the Office (US version) for the first time!

sanfranfibber · 01/05/2021 20:25

I've had a people free day Grinspent the morning recovering from the pub last night, then did a well organised and healthy food shop. This afternoon I've binged on Line of Duty so I'm officially caught up in time for tomorrow, and had a mega nap in the sunshine. Now cleaning my house and it smells amazing. A good day for the soul.
