Good morning Mumsnet! What are you all up to today?

[lucysmam]

I'm just finishing my first cup of tea of the day, in slience, as always. Even my neighbours' kids aren't out yet, which is unusual.

I'm going to get dd1 up in ten - we're going to have a steady walk into town for school tights (already!) and a few other bits. I'll do some of my Rainbows and Guides shopping while we're there too.

Dd2's going to stay with her dad, and hopefully she'll do her technology homework.

Dd1's cooking tonight. Fajita chicken (using a packet of seasoning stuff) with noodles, rice and stir fried veg as sides.

I expect the girls will be busy Minecrafting, or watching Minecraft streamers, later on. I plan to make the heel portion of the crochet sock I'm working on.

What about all of you? :)

Hi @lucysmam. Im still in bed,dreaming of tea and toast

Listening to the radio with a cup of coffee - all the 9/11 is making me feel quite teary.

My day off from my voluntary 'caring' activities. I'm going to ... erm... think of something to do. Housework, perhaps. Play on the internet. Nothing major. I was out yesterday so don't feel the need to 'escape' anywhere. I often stay in all day on 'my' days.

Waiting for dd to shake her stumps.
About to drive to Coventry for an exhibition and concert 🎵

Mr and DS(4) currently vegging out on the sofa watching Kids YouTube. Got my 5yo nephew coming round in a bit- they'll probably make a marble run or train tracks whilst I get some housework done, then we will walk to the park for a bit before swimming this afternoon. Then taking them to their respective dads houses and heading to see my boyfriend for a nice meal out somewhere.

*me, not Mr!

@ssd I haven't had a cup of tea in bed in years, I get fidgety & bored. Maybe I should try it again some time!

Morning sounds like a very busy day.
I’ve just finished my coffee and ds is awake playing on Roblox. Not much planned as DH is covering a wedding (photographer) so DCs & I will probably pop to town for something for tea, perhaps a coffee before housework/homework this afternoon.
Hopefully I’ll get out for a walk and then watch a movie later.
Really fancy getting out for a hike but that won’t be until tomorrow at the earliest.

Meeting up with adult daughter....little wander around Sainsbury's clothes n home and coffee in the cafe....simple things !!!

Wrapping birthday presents,, three different people including DP. Making him a birthday cake 🎂
Vacuum down stairs, dust. Cut some flowers from the garden for the house. Plant spring bulbs.

It's not too bad @IggyAce, I seem to have managed to tell the girls we'll do X, Y, and Z this weekend so we'll see how far we get 🤷‍♀️

@Lulu1919 I like to do that at Asda!

I am watching absolute drivel on Netflix and doing washing. DH did all the house work before he went away to work so I just need to have a quick tidy up. DD is watching drivel on YouTube.

DS doesn't need to be in work until later so will be at home, so I could leave DD and go for a run... But not sure if I can be bothered, trying to psych self up.

This afternoon DD and I aee supposed to be going to a friends beach but, but its mikes away by bus and ferry so we might not bother unless the sun comes out.

I'm just finishing my coffee and staring into space as DD is watching you tube videos on tv.

We are going to my in-laws today and a few shops as I still haven't got DD a new school coat.

Our local garden centre is also launching their Halloween event today. It feels abit early so not sure but apparently they have fun things on for kids for the launch so might pass by.

I have rugby training in about an hour, no rugby tots this weekend as the other two coaches have covid.

I’m taking my son and two of his friends to a trampoline park later, so I’ll enjoy sitting bored out of my mind for a few hours.

Its date night tonight so me and my husband are going to see Constellations, we were meant to go last week but luckily we were able to buy alternative tickets for tonight.

DH is taking DS1 & DS2 to watch football in his hometown. They will be gone 10am-8pm. DS2 & DS3 have a season ticket between them. So DS3 (7) is staying at home with me & we are having a yes day. He has chosen to go on the bus to crazy golf, then on the bus again into town for lunch. Am thinking Pizza Hut as we have a gift card for there. Will probably buy him an ice cream along the way, which I don't normally when all 3 DSes are there as it is too expensive.

Feeling rather pleased as yesterday I was called & offered the job I have always dreamed of (village librarian in the village I grew up in) 🤩

DC are currently eating their breakfast and watching crap on YouTube. They went back to school/preschool this week and are both tired. I'm supposed to be getting dressed but am instead sitting on my bed, scrolling.

I'm taking DS(3) to the library in a bit, and DD(7) wants to stay home with DH (normally she's all about the library but the opportunity for solo Daddy Time is too exciting to miss!). Then this afternoon DD has her first swimming lesson of the year, so we'll swap kids for a bit.

Curry for dinner.

@Simonjt is it you who was rennovating a house the other week? How's that coming along (if it was?)

Going to have a very chilled day today.
Still in bed but already had my coffee.

Will get up soon and change the bed then a mini food shop.

Going to head to the beach this afternoon with the dog then a lazy evening of Netflix and curry. Perfect!

Me and DC2 off to swimming lesson.

DC1 will do his homework and DP is changing all the bedsheets.

Shopping coming at Midday, then we'll head out to the woods for the afternoon. Dinner will be Pizza Express pizzas, doughballs and salad (all the P.E range is half price at the moment) and we'll try and find a film we all agree on later as if

Nit combing all 4 of us

Which will take all day as DD1 and DD2 have long thick hair, and DD3 has very fine baby like hair.

DD2 has ADHD/ASD and needs regular breaks.

We will be watching far too much TV whilst doing this and I’ll probably order McDonalds.

Sitting in the gym carpark on my phone. I know I need to actually walk in and exercise to be able to shift the lockdown weight, but my phone and the comfy car seat are more appealing.

It’s our 22nd wedding anniversary. We are celebrating by going to a local festival where our older two kids are playing a set with their music school and staying on afterwards with the younger two, DS1 will be heading back to work.

Currently in bed with a cup of coffee. Need to get some washing done.

10 walk later on, coffee and cake at the end.

I'm having coffee and toast after my lie in. Just popped a load of washing in the machine. Was at a bbq last night and all our clothes stink. Ds is playing Minecraft in his room and dh is lying in bed playing on his phone.

Food shopping this morning and then the beach this afternoon for a walk. Been on holiday for the last week and had planned to do some walks with dh while ds was in school but the car broke down so dh has spent 3 days trying to figure out what is wrong with it. So I ended up doing not very much. So really want to get out and do something today
