What are you doing today?
What are you doing today in your secret fantasy life.
Keep it clean!

I'm now on Mumsnet obviously. Later I will be reading in bed. In my secret fantasy life I would be reading in bed. Smile

What are you doing?

StealthPolarBear · 17/07/2021 12:38

I am eating soup and wondering if I can be bothered to start the tasks I set myself - cleaning the kitchen cupboard etv.
In my secret fantasy life I'd be reading somewhere in the shade with my feet dangling in a lovely pool.

I'm changing the bed linen and watching old episodes of Silent Witness

StealthPolarBear · 17/07/2021 12:41

We're having a barbecue later with whatever we could find in the freezer.

I took the kids to soft play this morning because it has epic air conditioning.

It wasn't working. The place was like the 7th circle of hell and the almost 2 year old wanted me climbing round with her.

Now at home vegging out on the sofa while the 7 year old watches absolute shite on YouTube.

StealthPolarBear · 17/07/2021 12:44

Oh no! That does sound like hell.

I'm enjoying the sunshine in the garden. DH is dropping DD at her friend's house and will run some errands whilst he is out. I can't remember the last time I was home alone!

Nuggetnugget · 17/07/2021 12:45

Hello. As are going to crack the bbq on here. Melting but it's lovely.

EssentialHummus · 17/07/2021 12:45

Pregnant and melting in the heat here. In my fantasy life there’s a gentle breeze blowing, lots of ripe blackberries within arm’s reach (because the toddler hasn’t decimated them) and my husband isn’t making ridiculous slurping noises while eating a watermelon. Actually if he could f off with the toddler that’d be grand.

roguetomato · 17/07/2021 12:46

My dc is isolating so we are stuck in the house for whole weekend despite the lovely weather here. Bit bored.
I'm spending my time playing fantasy game with him. So killing monsters and saving people and fighting evil sorceress.

OublietteBravo · 17/07/2021 12:47

I’ve hung out my second load of laundry and taken 2 bags of outgrown children’s clothes to the clothing bank (I made DS come with me, so he has at least left the house).

StealthPolarBear · 17/07/2021 12:51

Also isolating abbd bored!

OublietteBravo · 17/07/2021 12:53

I suppose I’d better make lunch. Probably fridge forage surprise (DH is currently at the supermarket).

Misty9 · 17/07/2021 12:58

I'm chilling in my conservatory with the cat and waiting for my boyfriend to come over. Dc are with grandparents for the day.

In my fantasy life? I'd be with my family (a dh I could have stayed with and our dc) and surrounded by laughter whilst preparing for a bbq later with friends.

beigebrownblue · 17/07/2021 13:04

I'm having the first weekend free from looking after DD for two years.

I'm wondering what to do with it. Have got a list of chores.

My secret fanatasy life at the moment consists of having a tin of tomato soup so that I don't need to cook. Also, having all the bins sorted by Sunday night and chores done so that I'm not faced with a pile of stuff when she gets back.

Oh heavens I'm so out of practice about finding myself, it's embarrassing.

Bargebill19 · 17/07/2021 13:06

Lying in front of a fan on MN. Long night shift ahead, so should be trying to sleep but way to hot.

WeatherwaxOn · 17/07/2021 13:11

Taking DC to a party shortly. Got to load dishwasher, hang out washing, wrap gifts for a birthday and am out this pm.
Hoping to squeeze in a short nap. Had a late night last night catching up with friends.

In a fantasy world, I would be sitting in a small cottage at the edge of a woodland, with a spa in walking distance, meals all cooked and provided for me, and a good supply of chocolate and books.

iwouldlikearefundonmybody · 17/07/2021 13:17

In my fantasy life, I will be on a shopping spree. Where all clothes fit when I get home.....
realistically still in pyjamas and knackered Wink

onthinice · 17/07/2021 13:21

I'm sitting in the garden with a Fanta, under the shade of my parasol, listening to birds chirping, next doors water feature bubbling away and the distant quiet rumble of a plane going over head.

In my fantasy life I would be away for a girls weekend, a city break somewhere in Europe.

Camomila · 17/07/2021 13:23

Waiting for DH to get back from the train station with MIL.

Secret fantasy life I would be at a quidditch match! Or in non-fiction I'd be visiting my nonna in Italy, having a post lunch cofee and watching Italian soaps with her.

Purplecatshopaholic · 17/07/2021 13:29

I love hearing what everyone is up to! I am relaxing on the patio in the sun. In my fantasy life I would probably be doing the same but with a pool!

Bargebill19 · 17/07/2021 13:38

Fantasy life - large hammock under trees, nice cool drink and a good book. No work. But all to do lists done. Only sound - that of the birds singing. All cats happily asleep.

Workinghardeveryday · 17/07/2021 13:42

In the garden waiting to hang out 4th load of washing, the extremely hot! Kids in cool water hot tub playing. BBQ later
Fantasy I would be doing this but more cool drinks and a dp that isn’t always in a shitty mood
