Just cooking duck spring rolls ( accidentally typed fuck lol 🤣🤣🤣) to keep me going until DH gets home. Then we’re having Gino de Campo pasta meals & garlic bread. Had a quieter day than expected as I cancelled my plans because I had a horrible headache. One more shift at work then I’ve got 10 days off. Hoping for some Autumn sunshine. DD12 has a 2 week halfterm. It only seems 2 minutes since they started year 8!

I've made a chilli and it's just on the stove ready to go when dh gets home soon. I'm listening to the 1975 and reading Hamilton: The Revolution with a hot water bottle as have period cramps. Basically nice and chill.

DDs are upstairs with headphones on. The shopping online delivery has been and I might have a cheeky beer with dinner.

Wish we had a 2 week half term. The DDs are ready for a break, and DS has a reading week so will have a few days home from first year uni

Back from dinner at the pub with friends, 5yr old fast asleep after her big meal so now relaxing with wine and tv

SpottyStripyDuvet · 15/10/2021 20:11

Waiting for the 5 year old to fall asleep then beer and pringles

Mymapuddlington · 15/10/2021 20:17

Coughing, sweating, trying to decide if I can feel baby wriggle or if it’s gas 🤔 not v exciting to honest.

ReginaaPhalange · 15/10/2021 20:17

DH in bed with a headache, DSD upstairs glued to her iPad (the usual) and I've just finished a bag of giant buttons whilst slobbed on the couch, now getting a headache and debating taking my pregnant butt up to bed!

Oh and cat is sleeping in her cat tree beside me!

immersivereader · 15/10/2021 20:19

Had the day off today. Unfortunately the weather has been crap. So plans scuppered really. So we went shopping, had a coffee then home for lunch. Went to the library then the park. Having wine now. DD watching Frozen.

ItsTheTreasure · 15/10/2021 20:21

DD in bed asleep, DS in bed reading Harry Potter. DH is rocking baby DS to sleep while we watch FBI. We have visitors tomorrow so I still need to hoover downstairs and have a quick tidy up. Can't be bothered though!

TheLastLonelyBakedBeanInTheTin · 15/10/2021 20:27

On the sofa with 2 sleeping DC. Eldest is gaming upstairs. A rare bit of peace. Shame the house is a disaster and I should be doing something about that or I might actually feel relaxed

StrongArm · 15/10/2021 20:27

I'm eating jelly snakes and watching married at first sight Australia - and I have the dog on my lap keeping me warm

hairybakers · 15/10/2021 20:29

Drove 5hrs today to come see DH. We are living apart due to his (temp) work contract. He brought me home from work some lasagne (from the cafeteria) and some rice pudding 🤣. Also bought me a lovely bottle of pouilly fumé, from M&S not the cafeteria haha. This is all great but he's now turned on the WBA-Birmingham match on the telly and the PSG match on his laptop so I'm mumsnetting while sipping my wine

IamEarthymama · 15/10/2021 20:31

Me- Praying the amitriptyline I have just taken eases the pain in my hip and groin.
Hoping it is better soon as my son and grandsons are coming to visit in the morning.

DW-sorting kitchen after supper.

DDog-wondering why I am not leaping round playing games with him.

merryhouse · 15/10/2021 20:35

I'm avoiding washing up (H made pizza) and pratting around on the internet.

H is watching some new Star Wars animation, having watched the Star Trek one earlier.

Will watch HIGNFY with a beer in a bit.

We're recent empy-nesters.

foxgoosefinch · 15/10/2021 20:36

DD is faffing upstairs when she should be brushing her teeth, and I’m intermittently shouting “have you brushed your TEETH?!?”

In a minute I will go upstairs and chase her into bed. DD’s dad is faffing on the sofa reading Twitter. She inherited the faffing gene from him…

Thatsplentyjack · 15/10/2021 20:36

Baby dd is sleeping, dh is lying in the bedroom with her. Ds1 is in the living room watching Michael Jackson videos and copying his dance moves Hmm, ds 2 is in his cave playing xbox and ddog is sleeping I think. I'm in the bath having a soak for the first time in around a year and a half.

StrongArm · 15/10/2021 20:37

Dd is out for dinner with her boyfriend and it's dp's ds's birthday dinner tomorrow so we have 3 step dds with us this weekend too and one of their partners

Full house. The best kind. None of them are watching shit tv with me though Grin

lightand · 15/10/2021 20:38

Been to sleep for 3 hours already, and wasnt even a particularly heavy day! Blush
Woke up to find DH asleep on the sofa!

troppibambini6 · 15/10/2021 20:39

Watching old top of the pops drinking a glass of wine with dh after a Chinese take away.
Dd1 is out babysitting, dd2 is mooching about eating mochi balls.
Two ds are in bed.
Puppy is simultaneously being an arsehole and looking cute.

sittingonacornflake · 15/10/2021 20:39

3yo DS is asleep, snoring gently.

I know this because he's in my bed. As am I. With his little legs draped over mine.

I've just come upstairs having watched free guy which was enjoyable.

Rock n roll.

Invasionofthegutsnatchers · 15/10/2021 20:39

DS7 is in bed asleep. DD and DH are playing monopoly with much arguing 🙄 I'm in bed with could-be-covid hoping I get a negative PCR before Sunday afternoon as DS has his birthday party booked for then. DH just brought me a lemsip which is vile but also soothing.

Crunchymum · 15/10/2021 20:44

DC3 is poorly (Upset tummy) after only being back a week had 6 days off with D&V

So I'm watching Netflix quietly (not watching Squid Game as she's only lightly sleeping). Older two are on tablets upstairs for another 15 minutes.

All fun and games here.

MrsSkylerWhite · 15/10/2021 20:44

Clean kitchen and bathrooms. First Christmas pressure arrived. Intended to take all of the garage rubbish to the tip. I looked at it all, quite a lot ……
Eldest home for weekend this evening, he cooked pizza and we watched telly with the open fire blazing. Lovely.
Late news that elderly mum went to A&E this afternoon with bad pain in shoulder, had it for a while but ploughed on. Turns out she has a fracture and requires surgery, waiting to be admitted. At 82, she’s fit as a fiddle and strident but still a bit of a worry.
Cat fight going on outside now, need to intervene, so goodnight folks Grin

MrsSkylerWhite · 15/10/2021 20:45

Christmas present.

whattodo2019 · 15/10/2021 20:45

Lying in bed, isolating with covid... Feeling yucky... Nonsense of taste of smell so eating and drinking is comforting me....

MrsSkylerWhite · 15/10/2021 20:46

84, actually. Oops Blush trying to kid myself in younger than I am, I suspect.

Serena1977 · 15/10/2021 21:45

Contemplating going to bed, had a hellish week (trainee teacher). Dd9 watching a DVD, ds8 playing on his switch. Dh walking ddog. Had salad and Chinese pork for tea. Dd9 was at Cubs earlier and had a great time!
