I’m feeling the best I’ve felt all day. Had to get up & go downstairs at 4.30am as I just couldn’t sleep. I was in pain plus I’d made the mistake of having a huge gin & tonic at a friend’s last night. Gin isn’t good! Now chilling whilst I decide whether to do the dishwasher, dust the piano which you could write your name on or hoover the stairs & landing which are shocking! Our carpets are really awful & I can’t wait til DH replaces them with laminate flooring. We already have that in the lounge, hall & DD12’s bedroom. Having an easy tea of pasta, pesto & peas. At some point I’ll watch the Strictly results. Managed not to see who left on Facebook etc. DD is in her room as usual. DH will pop in for a bit but doesn’t finish work until 8. Trying to find a window for us to go out for lunch. He suggested it for last Friday but then DD was off school. We haven’t been out for ages. I also need to feed the bunnies 🐰

I’m mnetting in the car while dd has a piano lesson. Then it’s home for a quick dinner (pasta pesto broccoli Smile) then the other dd has a late club. So a bit of driving but I do have a mug of tea with me.

I might put broccoli instead of peas - good idea

I’m drinking tea in the garden, DH has just gone in to ask DS to clean the main bathroom and after MN I’m going to sweep the patio of leaves. Had a nice picnic lunch with a friend and did some food shopping on way home.

I've just made dinner in advance (pasta bake) ready to put in the oven with some garlic bread. DD is playing in front of the TV, DS is luckily napping and I am sat with a cup of tea and a biscuit on mumsnet and on tinder hoping that some men will match with me Grin

Waiting for PCR results. DD (currently drugged up on calpol) happily drawing and colouring at dining table. DS (no symptoms) playing FIFA on his Xbox. DP feeling rough so took himself off to bed. I’ve had an afternoon nap and now going to cook tea - sausages and chips!

Just fed the dogs and cats and am waiting for my daughter to come home from school while watching Flip or Flop, and also trying to choose hallway ceiling lights. I'm renovating my house and the builders have been here all day, so it's chill time now they've left. After my daughter tells me about her day I'll get supper on - lamb!

DC are watching Netflix separately in separate rooms.
I am preheating the oven to cook chicken nuggets for dinner before it’s time for DC1’s brownies.

Pippyweather · 11/10/2021 17:01

The builders have just left so it is quiet for the first time today (they have begun to punch through from the new extension upstairs and its been awful all day). DH has gone fishing until about 6.30. DS2 is out with his mate in his car, don;t know when he will be back.

So its just me and the dogs. I've just eaten the last of the cheese, in a lump, straight from the fridge and i'm contemplating the last glass of Rose that is sitting in the fridge too.

I think its steak, chips and salad for dinner. I got those 3 for a tenner deals on sirloin from Waitrose.

Dd and boyf playing wii
Ds playing out
I'm trying to get up the energy to cook
Dh will be home soon

CampervanQueen · 11/10/2021 17:05

DS playing upstairs. DH still at work. DDog and I loafing around in the front room procrastinating instead of cooking tea (no idea what we're having yet...)

hiredandsqueak · 11/10/2021 17:08

We've all eaten, burgers for ds and dd and I've had cold roast pork and stuffing on a sandwich from yesterday's roast. Ds is in his room probably on the laptop and dd is asleep on the sofa. I'm just about to get up, wash up and feed the dog and then take her a walk after I've got the washing off the line and folded it. Hopefully will be sitting on the sofa again in time for Emmerdale.

Cooking tea and trying to separate the covid ones of us from the non covid ones.

OompaLumpaLabrador · 11/10/2021 17:16

DC are playing Minecraft together until supper at 6. DDog is asleep under the table after he and DS ran about the garden like crazy things after school. I’m putting off making lunches for tomorrow and tonight’s macaroni cheese. Sat at the kitchen table listening to the PM programme. Later it’s music practice, baths and getting ready for work tomorrow. Maybe an episode of Ghosts is everyone is nice this evening.

I've technically just finished work (from home) and logged onto MN to see what's going on. I normally try to log off quickly after 5pm on Mondays, then go for a run before my weekly call with elderly parents. I can see that one of my team members is still working and I know that jumping in to help her out is the right thing to do but if I do that, I'll never get out for that run. I work from the attic and don't see daylight all day, plus I really need some exercise.

After the call with parents, I'll have a post-run shower and then make dinner - we probably won't eat until around 8.30ish. DH will get home from work around 7pm and will be tasked with sorting out car insurance while I make dinner. It's just the two of us at home. I said I would make chicken enchiladas tonight but that normally involves preparing at lunchtime in order to pop in the oven later, and I didn't do that so I either need to think of something else, or, eat later.

At some point, after dinner, we'll watch House of Games and the Walking Dead. I'm going to the office tomorrow which means getting a 7.08am bus so will need an early night. DH will stay up watching sporting highlights or endless repeats of Top Gear or The Repair Shop.
