I am chilling with a glass of rose, very glad that I am not feeling like I did yesterday. Seem to be really going through it health wise lately. My friend & I had a lovely day out at a local theme park with our DD’s but I ended up with awful stomachache that lasted until this morning. Not much sleep as a result plus my back was very painful but nothing new there 😢I just want to feel properly fit & well again.
Anyway, DH is working til gone 8.30 & DD12 is in her room. I’ve been playing the piano & might record some improvisations. One of my favourite things to do & so relaxing. Just topped up the bunnies hay & watched them playing. Another of my favourite things to do! Easy tea of Harry Ramsdens battered jumbo sausages ( I was chuffed to get the last packet of salt & vinegar ones) with chips & peas. DD will eat earlier than us. DH & I might watch another episode of The Handmaid’s Tale. We’re working our way through all 4 series. I should be sorting out piles of clothes & either putting them away or bagging them up for charity. The bathroom could do with a clean too. Hey Ho!

Right now I imagine ds16 is online with his friends and the dog is flopped in the living room. I am out at training with 8yo ds and Dh is at dd6's training too. They are due home soon though and we have another 30 minutes

Not much happening here this evening. Jobs done, enjoying some stress free down time before our wedding on Thursday. Had my nails done and picked up my dress today 😁.

lucysmam · 16/08/2021 19:46

Ooh delilah how exciting!

Not much going on here. I'm fed up with everything so have brought my crochet and brew up to wallow in bed.

Dd1's watching Minecraft streamers on Twitch, dd2's playing Minecraft online with friends. They've both just been down to raid the treats too

I have just finished removing all furniture from the living room, ripping up the carpet and underlay. I have had to move 2 sections of the sofa back in as there is no space to keep them in the hallway without causing major obstruction issues!
I Hoovered and put a floor covering down. My new carpet is coming tomorrow morning, I’ve saved really hard for it and I’m so excited.
I also found £5.77 when unhooking the sofa sections so that’s a bonus.

The cat is wondering what the heck is going on and has retreated to my bedroom to sleep!

Daughter (10) is now in her room playing Roblox after ‘helping' me move the furniture!

We're in the middle of moving bedrooms so I spent the afternoon organising my clothes and things.

Just had a lovely dinner of gnocchi with pesto, oat cream, pine nuts and asparagus.

I've come up to my bedroom with the intention of finishing off a bit of work but I'm procrastinating instead. The kids have had a long day at forest school so they're flopped on the sofa watching some YouTube crap, and hubby is at his first pilates class.

Haybo26 · 16/08/2021 19:51

Me, hubby, son and stepson are watching The Conjuring 2 right now.

DoItAfraid · 16/08/2021 19:56

Wow your lives all sound so glamorous!

Best of luck for your wedding @delilahbucket

My girls are on the trampoline outside - the sun is setting. I have been working all day remotely all day and still have some technical advice to get my head around but am currently making stir fry with old Oprah episodes on loop from YouTube. I need to get kids in the bath.

My life is so boring (how i feel right now).

ImAddictedToMyPhone · 16/08/2021 20:01

@CurryLover55 I hope your health gets better soon. 🤞

Right now, both children are getting ready for bed. I need to tidy up from dinner an then ill have a vodka and coke while watching TV. Can't wait.

delilahbucket · 16/08/2021 20:04

@DoItAfraid thank you!

Amiable · 16/08/2021 20:05

DS is playing minecraft, DD is watching Criminal Minds in the living room, and I'm in my room listing to music and have just painted my nails a dark burgundy colour. I can hear the NDN's kids playing football and laughing, and I'm feeling very chilled. Think I may get myself a glass of wine!

nancybotwinbloom · 16/08/2021 20:09

I am looking to try and give my sofas away to a refuge. Waiting for responses

itsgettingwierd · 16/08/2021 20:10

I'm sat on MN whilst DS (16) is at training.

Luckily it's 5 minutes away so I drop him off as it's 2 hours!

I went and collected his birthday presents and have wrapped them up.

Will pretty much stay here on my sofa until I collect him Grin

ParityJ · 16/08/2021 20:15

Daughter is watching Pokémon on Netflix. I am asking her question I know the answers too, but I'm asking so as to appear interested in Pokemon, which I'm not, not really, but she likes it. 😁

ssd · 16/08/2021 20:17

I was feeling a bit yuk after work so am currently sitting on sofa watching tv. Did a lft which was negative. Ds upstairs, dh out a walk.

elp30 · 16/08/2021 20:21

I'm in the US so it's only 2pm.
My daughter just treated the family to a Thai takeaway for lunch. It was very nice of her to treat us and the food was delicious 😋
I'm currently on the couch because I'm full but very happy, my son had a day off so he's just left to pick up his girlfriend from work, the husband started a new business and is building a new website, my daughter is washing clothes and packing because she moves into her dormitory at a sorority tomorrow. She's starting her third year of university next week (US universities are a four-year program) but she has to be moved in early. I'm not going anywhere so I may just open the wine 🍷 It's 5 o'clock somewhere. Oh look, it's 8pm in the UK.

Vilanelle · 16/08/2021 20:27

My 14 month old has started crying, despite only going to bed an hour ago.

SomethingNastyInTheBallPool · 16/08/2021 20:36

On the sofa, waiting for DP to tell me supper’s ready (Aldi asparagus tart - very tasty - new potatoes and salad). Am desperately hoping DD(7) is asleep. She’s been a nightmare at bedtime lately. After supper we’ll watch YouTube videos about how to disassemble a Lazyboy (sp?) recliner, which DP is doing for my parents tomorrow. And then we’ll watch the final episode of The White Lotus, which is brilliant and everyone should watch it.

TrevorWithTheWeather · 16/08/2021 20:54

Child is in bed, DH is on his throne 🙄 so me and this little one are catching up on eastenders 😊

DH is working away, DS is already in bed and DD is chatting to her boyfriend on the phone.

I'm just about to switch my computer off and stop working, then a pile of ironing beckons.

PhoboPhobia · 16/08/2021 21:03

I've just done the online shop and about to go and watch some more Handmaid's Tale. Where are you up to @CurryLover55? I'm hooked!

DS is in his room with xbox and you tube on simultaneously while he seems also to be on facetime to his sister.

DH has been clearing up after dinner, clearing out the fridge and is making lunch for tomorrow and will then be watching some shit or other.

We usually watch stuff together but we are both really into a few different things atm so we're having our own space!

BrilloPaddy · 16/08/2021 21:07

I've just chatted to DD2 on Facetime, she's on holiday and the wifi has been terrible up until today so it's the first proper catch up. She's all glowing tanned, with a huge grin on her face having had a shopping spree and amazing day out. Now feeling very old, tired and sat nursing a mega cup of tea in my favourite mug Grin

CuddlyDudley71 · 16/08/2021 21:47

After watching 'Ghosts' as a family, DH is upstairs on his guitar, DD12 is on her tablet and DS16 is in a Fifa frenzy after getting his GCSE results (very good and he's got on his much wanted courses). I am watching 'Children of 9/11' on C4 and wondering how the hell it seems so near and yet so far away... Eldest DD was 3 at the time and has vague memories...

CurryLover55 · 16/08/2021 22:05

phobophobia only watched 2 or 3 episodes of series one
