I'm cooking tea - pork loin steaks with garlic & parmesan roasted spuds, probably salady bits too - listening to the "90's throwback weekend" on the radio & enjoying a glass of wine in peace.

Dd1's been down, helped prep tea, and set the table. She's gone back upstairs to see if she can work out why she can't get Minecraft Java to load on her laptop 🤷‍♀️

Dd2's Minecrafting with a friend. Last time I popped up, they'd built themselves houses and a Post Office.

Their dad's playing F1 on the xbox.

What's going on round at yours?

Teenage daughter watching The Office, cat sat on “my cushion’l washing its bum and I’m thinking about what to cook for supper.

RoseMartha · 07/08/2021 17:32

The dc are at their dads.
I have had a sit for down a bit watching old movies. But now the washing machine is pipping at me.

BobbinThreadbare123 · 07/08/2021 17:32

Watching the final test of the Lions tour of S Africa, with a frosty beer in hand. Got some curry for later.

TheLightSideOfTheMoon · 07/08/2021 17:34

I'm in lockdown at work (care home). 11 days to go.

Bright spark came to work despite having covid symptoms and guess what..?

My LFT are negative but I feel absolutely shite.

My family are at home. My heart hurts.

lucysmam · 07/08/2021 17:35

NotYourCupOfTea, it is! The girls request it at least once a fortnight.

Rose I hate it when my washer sings at me! I know it's finished because it no longer sounds like it's about to take off ffs Hmm

DC are playing Minecraft while skyping their cousin who is also playing Minecraft. DH is upstairs, probably having a nap after driving for many hours back from our holiday. I am tackling the mountain of washing we have created from a week away and putting away the stuff we took with us. We are having a take-away for dinner because we have no food in the house.

SimonJT · 07/08/2021 17:36

I’m having a few rare childfree hours, my husband is at Wembley with my little boy, they’re cheering man city.

I’m watching the rugby, I have enough supplies that I barely have to move, perfect.

Wincarnis · 07/08/2021 17:37

Waiting for the rain to stop so I can take Ddog out, then we’re having a takeaway.

HeReWeGoAgAiN1112 · 07/08/2021 17:37

My 3 year old is hoovering up the ‘snow’ after playing with a crap load of polystyrene packaging…

dementedma · 07/08/2021 17:38

I'm resting and keeping an eye on Lions after walk with niece this morning wiped me out. ( Fibro).
We have had hotdogs early as going round to mums for drinks later to celebrate our wedding anniversary. DS on screens, DH watching sport, DD in her room. All quiet.

TheLittleGreenToaster · 07/08/2021 17:40

I'm on the sofa, slowly making my way through some Linda McCartney 'chicken' bite things, quite tasty!

DP to the left of me watching football, DS to the right reading a book, DD went to meet some friends hours ago, should check in on her really....

@thelightsideofthemoon I'm so sorry you're having a hard time Flowers

Popetthetreehugger · 07/08/2021 17:41

Looking at the sea , but tides out … so mud ! Football on telly , drinking red wine , reading paper , failing to do the sudoku. DH will be cooking tea , it will be veggie , it might be Spanish ?! Have warm
Glow as DS1 , DDIL and DGC may be moving closer to us … 🤞🤞🤞

Bearsbearsbears40 · 07/08/2021 17:41

Watching the lions here too, relaxing after a busy day cleaning and doing house jobs. Will get myself a glass of wine shortly and we’re ordering Indian food for dinner. Might watch a couple of episodes of Killing Eve later on, we’ve just started watching and it’s great (not behind the times, I know).

Bearsbearsbears40 · 07/08/2021 17:42

*bit behind the times…

HummingBeeBox · 07/08/2021 17:42

Dp getting ready for a very rare night out with some men from the village.
Dd is watching Stranger things for the 10th time (not an exaggeration) and I am trying to work out when is safe to step out of the door with the dog who is whining at me for a walk.

lucysmam · 07/08/2021 17:45

@TheLightSideOfTheMoon that's utterly rubbish! I hope you feel better soon Thanks

Simon that sounds just right! Enjoy!

@HeReWeGoAgAiN1112 that made me laugh Grin I remember the time we foolishly let the girls do that...polystyrene balls forever. & the little fuckers evade the hoover quite well!

HeReWeGoAgAiN1112 · 07/08/2021 17:46

We’ve done three goes round with the hoover and now the Eufy Robovac is on the case 😂

Time40 · 07/08/2021 17:49

I'm in decorating hell, and I'm having a tea break. As soon as I can bear it, I'll be back to the endless sanding down of doorframes.

nahdenmardybum · 07/08/2021 18:01

Nice thread!

I've been cleaning my bedroom. Given it a proper hoover under the bed and everything, whilst watching vlogs on YouTube. DS is out all day with friends. DP is downstairs watching the olympics. We've got an M&S Chinese banquet for tea Smile

MirandaMarple · 07/08/2021 18:11

DH is up and down in his seat watching the Rugby.

I've come into the kitchen diner and listening to Liza Tarbuck on Radio 2 with a G&T.

Nothing more exciting than Bengali prawn curry to look forward to later.

I'm going to read my book after dinner as I'm bored with all the tv.

ApolloandDaphne · 07/08/2021 18:13

DH is watching the rugby.

The dog is snoozing.

I have put a fish pie in the oven and and browsing on MN.

Rock 'n' roll Saturday evening chez Apollo!

EllaPaella · 07/08/2021 18:16

DH is making us all pizza in our ooni oven. Two of my boys are not at home, one away with his girlfriend and one is staying with my parents for the week so it's just us and DS3 (6).
Weather is crap so I am in my PJ's already and going to get an early night after we watch a family movie later.

DramaAlpaca · 07/08/2021 18:21

DH is pretending to be watching the rugby, but is actually having a map. He'll wake up if someone scores a try Wink

I'm in the other room switching between rugby & the Olympics that I recorded overnight, while browsing MN on my tablet. I'm comfy Smile

However, DS has just appeared to make himself a snack and has popped his head round the door to tell me the upstairs shower has leaked onto the kitchen floor, so I'm just about to head up and have a look
