Just woke up, DD11 and DS8 are chilling in their rooms. DD has drama club today so DH will take her to that. I'm going to do some crafting with DS and clean the bathrooms. Then watch a film. Quiet night in tonight.

Breakfast- wanted pancakes but no eggs. So porridge with fruit
Lunch- baked potato with toppings
Dinner- possibly a takeaway 🤔

Absolutely not plans!

Been up since 6. Had toast and homemade blackberry jam, cafetière of coffee, watching a cheesy Christmas film. Need to pop to the coal yard later, then probably have a tidy up and a walk. No idea what’s for lunch and tea.

Skyeheather · 06/11/2021 08:23

Today household chores, make homemade soup, take down Halloween decorations, watch Formula 1 Practice and Qualifying this evening.

Breakfast-Porridge, coffee, orange juice.
Lunch-homemade soup and crusty bread.
Dinner-baked potato and salad

After trying my best to avoid it I think I’ve come down with the “super cold” (although hoping it’s less “super” than other people have reported). Yesterday I found something called ColdZyme so today I have had many spritz of that and about 4 lozenges already (can you overdose??). Today I’m heading to the post office, doing some more wall painting (we are redecorating) and then heading out later to watch fireworks.

Crumblinginside · 06/11/2021 08:27

No major plans- shower breakfast and household chores (I've all the Halloween stuff boxes up so need to put them away)

I might go through my christmas decorations and some are quite old so I'll do a bag for charity

Dh and ds are out at soccer so will cosy up with the youngest with a movie.

Meals - Usual cereal and toast

Dinner is going to be chicken satay and rice (peppers onions etc)

PurpleHydrangea1 · 06/11/2021 08:28

I'm off to start Christmas shopping for the kids soon. DH and the kids are having a bit of a lazy morning.no set plans for the afternoon.

B: porridge with cream and brown sugar
L: leftover chicken, broccoli & potato traybake
D: homemade pizzas

MadisonAvenue · 06/11/2021 08:29

I’m off out to Manchester shortly with my 21 year old son for football, it’s a 12.30 kick off (thanks Sky) and while it’s only around 65 miles away, most of those 65 miles are on the M6 😒
Just waiting for him to get up and get ready, he didn’t get in until gone 2am though as he was in Southampton at another match, accompanying his friend who had a spare ticket.
Tonight we’ll be trying to calm the dog down (again) because of the inevitable fireworks.

Breakfast - just had a croissant.
Lunch - probably a pie in the stadium
Dinner - think I’m going to make chilli.

devildeepbluesea · 06/11/2021 08:31

Self isolating day 6, feel completely well. Not sure if that's better or worse than being ill, the boredom is starting to take hold.

Obviously no plans, looking forward to rugby and Strictly and WINE later.

Dippy eggs for brekkie
Not sure about lunch
Spag bol cooked low and slow for hours for tea.

MadisonAvenue · 06/11/2021 08:33

Allsorts1 I started coming down with a cold last Saturday, did a test which was negative btw, and was worried it’d be THE cold that’s going around but apart from a few days of being sneezy and having a tingly runny nose at the start of the week it’s pretty much gone now. Hope you feel better soon.

Imissmoominmama · 06/11/2021 08:36

Meeting friends for afternoon tea later (but I’ve opted for a veggie burger instead because I’m not keen on afternoon tea).

I’ll take the dogs out too. Then do some work.

Breakfast- oat, banana and blueberry smoothie; lunch- the veggie burger; dinner- pasta with pumpkin sauce.

Today will be nice!

vanillaskies · 06/11/2021 08:38

Off to see family for a pub lunch today, but currently soaking in the bath while DH minds the 3 month old!

Breakfast is going to be hot buttered toast and tea, lunch will probably be a burger and tea will be a scavenge for yourself if you're hungry!

TheUndeadLovelinessOfDemons · 06/11/2021 08:41

We don't do much at the weekends, the DC need chill out time. DH probably got up around 7, he's retired and usually does, the DC are probably still asleep, DS2 usually wakes up around 10, we got back from the fireworks at 10.45 last night so I expect DS3 to be asleep for a while longer, I'm in bed.

Breakfast - Porridge To Go
Lunch - chicken and tzatziki wraps
Dinner - probably sandwiches

RosieposiePuddingandPi · 06/11/2021 08:41

Woke up in a foul mood after DD kept me up all night again so have spent the morning downing coffee in an attempt to sort myself out.
We're off to a mortgage appointment in a bit then will probably pop into our favourite garden centre to mooch round the Christmas bits for a while.
The house is a state so the kids will likely do some crafty bits this afternoon to distract them while I blitz the house.
Hopefully an early night!
Breakfast - buckets of coffee
Lunch - something nice from the garden centre
Dinner - gnocchi and meatballs/bolognese

Coffeetree · 06/11/2021 08:42

Woke up at 4:30 and just decided to go with it.

Breakfast: cheese and dates, coffee

Teaching two fitness classes at the gym.
Then pedicure.
Then my guy is coming over for lunch, which I've prepared already: sweet potato burritos.
Then he has to work this evening so I'll chill and waych Netflix. Any recommendations by the way?

TheFairyCaravan · 06/11/2021 08:45

I’m going to finish a couple of Chocolate Orange covers that I’ve been crocheting and photograph them so DS2’s MIL can choose the ones she wants me to make for her family.

We’re going to see PILs this afternoon. We need to pick some Percy Pigs up on the way to send to DS1 who is deployed. He usually brings them for me so we’re doing it the other way round.

Breakfast Skyr with fruit.
I don’t really eat lunch and MIL always has loads of homemade cake
Dinner either sausage, jacket potatoes cheese and beans or a takeaway. Depends what time we leave PILs

LucentBlade · 06/11/2021 08:45

DH and I are out for a walk in about an hour. DS works a night shift and wants me to wake him at midday. DS and I will be gaming for 2 hours together, then he is off to his girlfriends parents for the afternoon and dinner. I will be doing some paperwork and sorting out laundry. DH needs to record some lectures for online use so the house has to be quiet. So will spend time wrangling the cat as she likes to sit on his desk and will cry at his office door to be let in. She has featured in many meetings over lockdown.

We are having salmon and lemon fish cakes, baked potatoes, broccoli, carrots, peas and roast red pepper for dinner and will watch a couple of episode of You on Netflix.

BeyondMyWits · 06/11/2021 08:46

Not up to much today. Bit of housework, take care of dh... he's stressed out arranging stuff for his mum with dementia, so having a bit of down time today to recharge.

Had a "breakfast bar" which was tastier than expected. Egg sandwiches for lunch, garlic chicken and potato rosti with a pile of green beans for dinner

cliffdiver · 06/11/2021 08:46

Porridge for breakfast.

DDs have swimming this morning.

We were going to go to local zoo, but I realised that since coming back from (UK) holiday and doing no washing that DDs have no suitable warm clean clothes Blushso may do that tomorrow instead.

So instead I'll be washing / supervising homework and later we'll watch a film.

Lunch will probably be homemade soup.

Dinner is takeaway (Chinese / Curry) for DH and I, will ask DDs what they would like.

Daisy829 · 06/11/2021 08:48

Few chores this morning after coffee & cuddles with my 7yo in bed. Fortunately I blasted the bedrooms yesterday & did a pre-Xmas plastic clear out so just bedding & bathroom to sort.
Soft play with some of her friends this afternoon then a family birthday party early evening.

PhoboPhobia · 06/11/2021 08:49

Going to get MILs food shop shortly.
Train station to get DS monthly train ticket
Adult DD is coming over and we’re all going to a local beauty spot for a dog walk and pub lunch
Covid booster later this afternoon

I’ve just had some jarlsburg on toast
We’re supposed to be having fajitas tonight but may change that depending what we have at the pub for lunch.

troppibambini6 · 06/11/2021 08:49

Woke up feeling ill. Had flu jab yesterday so probably that.
2 youngest have football
Eldest is at work
The other one is just relaxing she's just woke up.
Need to walk the puppy, take the other one to tkmaxx, do a bit of ironing.
I'm out tonight with friends for dinner, just having a coffee (don't do breakfast and will make some soup for lunch.

Daisy829 · 06/11/2021 08:51

Not sure about food. I’m trying to shift some lockdown weight so will be low carb & no alcohol (I had wine last night!)

Whattheduck · 06/11/2021 08:51

I’m doing a cooked breakfast this morning as my dd (16) has 2 dance shows today so we’ll have that before she goes.
I’m going to do a few jobs around home after dropping her off and take the dog for a walk.
We are going out for a pizza with friends in between her two shows then myself and Dh are going to watch the show tonight

Doje · 06/11/2021 08:52

I love these threads, but have no idea why they're so engaging!

DH has taken DS2 and the puppy to football, so I've made a soda bread and enjoying the peace whilst DS1 reads.

Big walk with the dog and a friend when they're back, DH will do model kids with the kids while we're out.

Breakfast - Assorted cereal
Lunch - Soda bread with meats, cheeses, olives, etc
Dinner - Lasagne

MyCatTibby · 06/11/2021 08:53
