Can’t believe it’s Friday again! Haven’t worked today so got a few things done, including a top up shop at Aldi & a visit to Pets at Home for hay. I was feeling really horrible ( pain which led to exhaustion) but it seems to have eased off a bit. I have a docs appointment in a couple of weeks but will try to bring it forward. Wonder if it’s menopause related. I was planning to cook a beef massaman curry for tea but couldn’t be bothered so we’ll have battered fish, chips & peas when DH gets home. DD12 has had a couple of days off school & next week is halfterm. We’re seeing DD’s friend that she’s known since they were babies & also trying to arrange a sleepover with her best friend, although it’s a nightmare because the Mum never knows when her ex is going to see her daughter until the last minute. I couldn’t put up with that as it’s virtually impossible to plan anything! At least the possibility of a sleepover has spurred DD on to sort out her room. She even hoovered earlier! It really was an absolute tip. The carpet is several interesting colours so we need to get that steam cleaned. I am getting quotes for a one off deep clean, minus DD’s room & DH’s office. He is going to try & clear that soon. It’s a dumping ground for stuff we didn’t know where to put when we moved house.

DD and DS have just got back from swimming lessons, they are now playing Lego with DH. I'm upstairs pottering about with the Ddog

DD has a cold or possibly hay fever so is happily playing minecraft while I have a cuppa with the iPad. A nice lazy pottering day today I think, maybe a bit of gardening later and possibly even reading my book in the garden. Finished off with an easy tea followed by a movie night with DD with lots of treats!

DD is napping upstairs. DH is out for an hour at the driving range. I’m sat on the sofa with a tea, and DCat, who is also snoozing. Once DH is back and DD is awake, it’s bacon sandwiches, a nice walk, some life admin and then tonight I’m out for my first boozy dinner out with friends since I found out I was pregnant in December 2019!

Kids are playing on their tablets. I told them they could have 1 hour but I just went and reset the timer as its so peaceful and I don't want it to end Grin I'm drinking coffee, staring at my phone and working up the energy to spring into action and clean the house. Tommorow I'll do the front and back garden so we can enjoy it over half term. I REALLY wish I could afford staff to do it all for me.

It’s so nice to hear what other people do! I am crazily concerned that what we do is a bit rubbish - dp and dd in bed, so am I, with a lovely coffee, but I’ll get up any minute! Ds just gone to play online. It’s grey, again and am wondering where to start..garden? Tidy? Paint walls? Endless sorting of crap? Examine wierd damp wall? There was a mushroom on it yesterday! Bit overwhelmed into inertia actually.

Do you all have breakfast/ lunch together now kids are young teens or do they get their own?

WhyMrsRobinson · 29/05/2021 10:04

Ha missgendered just read your post! Am totally with you! More coffee, this time in the kitchen!

CuriousandReady · 29/05/2021 10:07

After the second awful night of sleep with my toddler, I’m on my second coffee and he’s watching TV.
I’m at a wedding this afternoon and I feel very lost! I’ve got to book a taxi, socialise, I genuinely feel a overwhelmed!

DH and I having a lazy morning in bed with nice big cups of tea and our choice of reading material. DD18 who finished 6th form this week, has gone off for a training day for her summer holiday job as a children's daycare camp counsellor. DS14 gaming online and chatting with a group of friends over his headset - happy as a clam.

Have a kitchen designer coming later today to measure up and discuss our quite for a new kitchen (finally after living with the nasty kitchen we have for over 20 years).

abouquetofsharpenedpencils · 29/05/2021 10:17

On my second cup of tea in bed. DH making brunch soon, then off to a car dealership looking for a “new” car...
Sadly our last car had to be scrapped and we have been without a car for several months. It’s been very hard looking for a new car without a car and in lockdown.
Really looking forward to being able to get away for the day to the sea once more.

MaidEdithofAragon · 29/05/2021 10:21

Taken dog to groomers. DS gone to watch a friend play football. DH in bed after a night shift. Drinking coffee and probably going to do not much all day. Might go for a swim later. Tomorrow we are having a day out in London first time in over a year.

RosieposiePuddingandPi · 29/05/2021 10:26

We've just spent 3 days in hospital miles away with DS after emergency surgery so me, DS and DD are lounging around in pyjamas watching rubbish on the telly and DH has popped into town.
So nice to have a relaxed morning.

Ohwhocares22 · 29/05/2021 10:27

Should have been enjoying the beginning of half term and taking the Dc to meet my sister and kids for the first time since August. Instead am just back from the test centre with 1yo dd who has a temperature Hmm

StCharlotte · 29/05/2021 10:29

Sitting at the table having my second cup of tea in my oversized "Saturday cup". About to get dressed as I have a pedicure shortly. At least this time the weather might be good enough to actually get my paid-for toes out. Need to hoover up the feathers from a bastard cat-v-bird situation now that DH is up at some point.

No other firm plans until work on Tuesday which is bliss as I'm running on empty at the moment. Just looking to enjoy some R&R.

peaceanddove · 29/05/2021 10:35

I'm on my 2nd cup of coffee, watching Saturday Kitchen. I'm recovering from tummy tuck surgery 2 weeks ago, so still trying to rest as much as possible.

DH playing golf later, and both DDs are out, so will have the house to myself. So probably a nap followed by laundry, followed by another nap 😊

Take out and a movie tonight, I think x
