What's going on in your house right now?

[lucysmam]

Dd1's disappeared upstairs to watch someone else play Minecraft 🙄

Dd2's down here talking an awful lot & watching her praying mantis hunt his dinner. She wants a bath running so I'll go do that in a minute while she watches Errol.

I'm listening to The Killers. Have been crocheting for a while & will pick it up again while I cook a roast shortly.

Their dad's watching Fast & Furious, the second one I think 🤷‍♀️ I'm going to get him to go to the shop for a bottle of wine later on.

What's everyone up to at yours? :)

DS is showing his new Lego to his grandad in the living room while watching Wallace and Gromit at the same time and giving a running commentary on the action. DH is with them. I am sitting in the kitchen with Spudpup, who is asleep in his crate. I don’t have to, but we put the old nursery glider chair into the corner of the kitchen and it is very comfy indeed.

Later on I will have a look online for new dog beds as Spudpup is growing at an alarming rate. I’d like to get him a really nice one, but I fear he will eat it… it may need to be a cheap one until he gets through the chewing phase.

Ds1 & gf just back from camping with his dad.
Ds2 not back as went to meet friends.
DP gone with a friend to pick up a bike from somewhere hours away.

Robots cleaning the floors (robovac in the kitchen & conservatory, robomop in the hall & downstairs loo after I've vacuumed it).

Dogs shut in the utility away from robots.

I'm sitting on the sofa browsing MN and watching the rain.

Student son preparing for an exam in one downstairs room with door shut. He just put the lights on and shut the window as we had a rain shower. I am in my home office in another room downstairs having a short break in writing bills to clients and just ate two peas and their pods I picked in the garden a minute ago after my lunch. Other son who lives at home is away until tomorrow night.

I'm sitting in the garden with dd and my 3 great-nieces who all stayed over last night. Aged 3,4,6,8. They're playing at hairdressers, one of them is spraying all the others with water🤔🤔.
DH is refilling my wine glass not as fast as I would like🍷🍷
Having takeaway pizza for dinner then I'll be phoning my niece and nephews telling them to collect their children.

DS is away on a Scouts overnight trip so we were out for dinner and a lot of drinks. Lazy morning didn't get up until 10:40 😁
DH has been for a run and is in the bath. I've done the washing and made raspberry cheesecake for dessert tonight. Watching Come Dine With Me now until we need to pick DS up. Faijatas and cheesecake for tea. On holiday next week so no Sunday fear!

I’m making a cup of tea for myself and DH. He’s sitting in the garden eating cherries with DD. DS is firing up the Wii and requesting I play Donkey Kong with him.

It’s threatening rain but I will be drinking tea outside/gardening for as long as possible! Then need to pack up DS and DD to go and see their grandma. Quick pasta tea later. Oo, note to self, must go and buy wine.

Watching the thrilling Olympic athletics

DP quarantined in the bedroom with norovirus

1yp DD asleep on me in the nursery

Wonderful SIL in the kitchen cleaning up lunch

Dh is watching the Grand Prix in the living room whilst I’m contemplating having a cheeky nap in the back. We’ve had a busy weekend looking after 11 month old granddaughter and have just returned her to her parents!

We're staying at DM's. DD7 and DS3 are playing shops with her and DSF in the living room.

I've been "washing my hair" (scrolling on my phone) for the last ten minutes. Should probably turn the water on at some point.

After I'm done it's baths for the kids, and DM is going to try and help me sort DS' hair a bit. Then it's pork chops for dinner.

Enjoying an early wine in the garden, will pop in chicken when sticky toffee pud is out oven. Potatoes and veg still to peel(worst job). But love a trad Sunday meal and all the family is here to enjoy

Right now? Killing time*, we cannot leave on our camping trip to test the new tent until 3:30pm because we cannot drop DS at respite until 4pm. But the car is packed, my shoes are on ...

(*By "killing time" I mean constant refreshing of Part 2 of the Parking Jackass thread )

All watching F1 thinking what’s going on ?

DH has happily gone off to B&Q on his own. DDs both had swimming lessons this morning and are playing downstairs now (whilst watching YouTube videos of other children playing ). I'm hiding upstairs with Netflix and a cuppa.

DS (12) is upstairs playing a 3 player Warhammer game with DP and our old friend who is visiting for the weekend.

DD (8) is "grooming" the old friends dog.

I'm ignoring the washing up in favour of sitting in a hammock in the garden MNing and messaging DD (19) who is in IKEA buying things for the shared house she's moving into next month and wants to show me everything she is putting in her trolley.

The neighbour has seen that the rain has stopped and decided it's the perfect time to strim their already perfect garden

DH, DD1 and DS are in the living room watching Nightmare Before Christmas, eating breadsticks and iced jems.
DD2 is asleep.
I'm in the spare room sorting out a ton of washing- the bed is piled high. Afterwards I need to clean the bathrooms and do some other chores. Don't know if I will get it all done today and it's making me feel a bit frazzled.

DP isn't here as is working.
DS, and DD1 & DD4 are at my parents swimming.
DD2 is watching tv as she's too tired to go.
DD3 sat next to me subjecting me to Ben & Holly.
The dog is asleep. I need to put the washing on the line.

We are all a bit sad as we are spending our last night or two with our dear old cat.

Everyone is almost ready for bed. Dishwasher and washing machine are on, cuppa in hand and that's about it.

Husband is painting.
I'm lying down reading MN but I shall have to move because the dog is outside barking at nothing.

DH, DD, DS and GDD are watching F1. I’m ignoring it because gives me migraine to watch. Just had roast and SlimmingWorld dessert.

Lazy Sunday

My eldest ds1 is upstairs asleep after working all night, my ds2 is working till 6pm and my ds3 who has autism is in the backroom working excess energy off dancing and singing. I'm in living room looking for soup recipes for my new soupmaker. One of my cats is faffing around standing on my boobs, she gets jealous of my tablet.

DP and I have just got back from a trip to the farm with dd. I'm sat in the garden and dp is watching tv with dd whilst trying to get over his hangover.
Must buy wine too!

Dd17 and dd13 are with their dad and SM until later

Dp is painting the living room. The contents of the living room are in the kitchen. The rest of us are consigned to upstairs… ds is on his Xbox, dd is on her iPad, I’m on my phone/reading/napping..

I’ve not been completely lazy. I’ve cleaned the rooms I can, been for a walk and sewed labels on school uniforms.

DH and DS watching the GP. I'm on the sofa half watching, half snoozing knowing the oven should be preheating for the chicken but can't be arsed
