Good morning Mumsnet! What's everyone up to today?

[lucysmam]

I had a proper lie in for a change & am just enjoying my first cuppa in silence while everyone else is still asleep! We went for a walk to town and home yesterday, then a late night, so dd2's knackered.

Downstairs needs tackling today - it's a bit of a mess. Lots of pots to wash , & things out of place that need returning to their rightful homes so I'll get dressed and make a start shortly.

I think the girls will probably Minecraft, but dd2 wanted to try growing sugar crystals again so maybe we'll do that. Last time wasn't a success!

I've a few things left on my Rainbows and Guides to do list to finish so will tick of some of those & then pick up one of my crochet projects for the afternoon. Should really tackle the front garden but that can wait for another day.

I'm making butter chicken for tea & will have a glass or two of wine with it. Ice cream roll for pudding .

What about all of you? Anyone up to much? :)

I have walked puppy for an hour, cleaned through the house, hung out 2 loads of washing and doing another, cooked lunch and am now considering doing a bit of gardening.....or not.

We need a puppy picture.

Sorting out my bedroom drawers. Every thing out and bin bag ready. Then folding what i keep neatly. Gives me a sense of satisfaction.

I was up at 5 so i went up Snowdon. Kids and DH pottering and watching the football,

Curry and a bit of wine tonight, early night and an early 10k tomorrow morning.

A bit of a lie in, but not actually as was up till gone 1.30am watching the meteor shower with dh.
Cup of tea in bed, dh walked the dog as I tore a calf muscle which was healing well but I think I overdid things yesterday so it's a bit sore. Washing on, dishwasher done emptied and refilled, nice quiet toast with coffee. New remote control delivered so no more holding the guide button for a indeterminate amount of time to work woop!
Now trying to decide whether to do a bit of light gardening (just trim the hedge stems that are going over the path) or crochet my blanket. Prob do both.
Pasta and meatballs for dinner tonight. The meatballs are some beef sausages which I'm going to take out of the skins. Hopefully it will work out ok.

Did a spin class this morning. Off out shortly with the kids for a get together for a friend's daughter's birthday

We went on a long bike ride this morning then had a lovely brunch at one of our favourite little cafes. Tonight we have BILs In Laws (so DHs brothers wifes parents!) anniversary meal/party at a hotel then to BILs after. Looking forward to all getting together.
Girls are watching a movie with DH whilst I get ready then we will begin to get them ready too.

We are having a slow home day today. Eldest DD 14 has a job in a pub and she has had a few shifts so is tired. You youngest DD 11 is just pottering about in her room.
I had a mad urge to make home made mince and veg pasties so I've been occupied with that and made a good batch for tomorrow’s lunch and one for my DF.
Got some brisket as well to do in the slow cooker and maybe freeze a batch.
Later on will be sorting washing and general house stuff. Might watch a film later if DD’s fancy it.

Packing up and sending the orders to my new business which is very exciting! Making curry later, might watch a western with DS as cowboys are his new special interest

I'm procrastinating and trying to avoid the slow panic that comes with it . Have work to do and feeling a little overwhelmed this week so put things off. And have spent all day wasting time on my phone. So will have to work tonight. I am a dumbass.

Larry - DD, who is a major league procrastinator (ADD) has discovered zoom to help her. She and a mate work on their respective assignments while on zoom encouraging (kicking) each other, supervising breaks etc.
