I should be wrapping pressies but today has been a really lazy day as I’m due for a Vit B12 injection & feel crappy. We were booked to go & see the lights at The Eden Project but gave it a miss. DH watching a 2nd World War documentary & I’m gearing up to venture out into the cold to put the bunnies to bed. DD13 lurking in her room as per. We’ve had a few run ins with her today; she always takes at least a couple of days to adjust to being on holiday. Easy tea later of fishfingers, chips & beans.

Watching The Royal Variety here for now but about to go and read to the children and do some work.

DH is in bed feeling ill from his Covid booster. Me and DS7 are sat under a blanket watching Horrid Henry and playing wordscapes on the iPad.

Not sure where the cat is but thankful he is not attacking the Christmas tree.

We are watching Click and Collect while I force myself to drink Chardonnay (yuk accidental purchase by dh) and the boys eat quality street. It’s quite chill aside from the wine resentment.

Imissmoominmama · 19/12/2021 19:29

I’m sitting in front of the kitchen fire, with a glass of really good wine and a small dog.

DH is in the sitting room, with a cup of tea and a slightly larger dog.

All four of us went for a long walk earlier, then a roast dinner in the pub (the dogs didn’t have the roast dinner though).

DH is upstairs reading. I'm in the bath and the kids are playing computer games. Perfect Sunday.

haveyouopenedyourbowelstoday · 19/12/2021 19:31

Chilled evening here. DH and I did the big food shop earlier and then he shouted at the tv watching the Liverpool game.
DS is home from the ship goes back tomorrow so all in now watching SPOTY and drinking tea. My Christmas decs and candles make the house so cosy.

MrsDThomas · 19/12/2021 19:31

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 19/12/2021 19:42

I'm drinking pink fizz in the bath
No idea what anybody else is doing, but we're going to play a board game when I get out.

fitflopqueen · 19/12/2021 19:43

We had lunch out today - me and our adult kids, our xmas treat, husband is working away and won't be home over the festive period.

Then took dog out for a quick run round on return, DD has decorated the tree, put lots of lights up, lit candles and is laid out on one sofa now, I am surfing web whilst watching Christmas Bake off.

DS is off to bed shortly as has early shift tomorrow.

Dog is wanting to go out for another charge around the field.

Had some chocolate and about to go and find something more substantial to eat now, kitchen is self service tonight.

It's my birthday today. Got chocolates and bottle of vodka from my kids bought by hubby at supermarket, no effort is ever afforded and some home made cards off of 2 of my kids, nothing from the other, reckons he lost it, yet hasn't left the house, pressies from family didn't arrive, so will, tomorrow probably.

Cooked the dinner, hubby just gone to work, but hasn't uttered a word all day (normal) But it's his birthday on the 22nd, so the same will be served up for him, see how he likes it. Daughter made me a cake with so much red food colouring in the icing, you could probably see it from space. I know my ADHD boy will be going nuts for the rest of the night and am dreading it, keep putting it off, saying my dinner has not gone down yet.

Another day in paradise.

Roll on 2022, when I will start saving to file for divorce, after I have paid off Christmas, that he never contributes too. Can see the light at the end of the 19 year marriage tunnel.

I have started looking after myself more, putting make up on, putting more of an effort, when going out, even if it's up to the shops, so I feel more like my old self. Getting comments already, which feels good, so ready for the remainder of my life, without him.

Just google searching where is a nice place to live as getting out of London for my new start.

Had a very lazy day today.
(Second day of a hangover although don’t feel shit today, just tired!)
Dh made us all a brunch, then I lit the fire and a few of us all piled in to watch Elf. I fell asleep Grin
Ds and I had some time in the hot tub, he and dh went swimming this afternoon.
Early evening our neighbours popped in for a drink which was nice (I stuck to water Blush ) - they will come to us in the evening of Christmas once our respective family meals are finished, they get on really well with our family and extended family who will all be here.
I’m just sorting some washing and alternating that with lying in bed!
Dh is making some dinner for us all and then an early night awaits for us all.
Might play some Harry Potter uno with ds.
Dd2 is under the weather, dd1 has gone to a Christmas party with her friends.

foxgoosefinch · 19/12/2021 20:06

We had boosters on Friday so have been zonked out this weekend. This evening we’ve had bacon bubble and squeak from hello fresh, and DD (8) is currently making us watch yesterday’s episode of The Wheel which I ducking hate but she loves it - aaaaargghhh!

When she goes to sleep I may wrap a few presents, or I may just go to bed and zonk out with my sore arm and booster side effects 🤣

Benjispruce5 · 19/12/2021 20:07

Had a big dog walk, wrapped some presents. DH cooked a roast while I watched all 3 Sex and the City/And just like that episodes. DDs were out or studying. Bliss.

ReginaaPhalange · 19/12/2021 20:58

Currently sat on the couch with a Lindt hot chocolate and my iPad playing rollercoaster tycoon!! DH is watching the second fast and furious which to be honest I'm half watching whilst playing my game and on my phone lol!

ChristmasTreeBee · 19/12/2021 21:23

Kids have finally fallen asleep 💤

Dh is sat watching a thing on big foot while I paint my nail.

I am supposed to be wrapping a few presents but I am tired so will do it Tuesday or Wednesday evening now.

SmellyOldPartridgeinaPearTree · 19/12/2021 21:30

We had a much needed really lazy day. 4yo DS spent the day playing with toys and watching cartoons. Baby DD spent all day napping and trying to roll over. No stress, no arguments, no fuss. Bliss.

I'm now lying in bed beside DS but i need to go downstairs and sterilise baby bottles.

peaceanddove · 19/12/2021 22:22

I've been wrapping presents while drinking tea and watching The Man Who Invented Christmas. Off to bed soon with a new book.
