I’ve just eaten more than half a dozen Cornish wafers with butter & vintage Red Leicester. So moreish! Need to stop though as we’re having bangers, mash, peas & gravy for tea. Had a quiet day but a nice one. DD13 ate lunch out with a friend then brought her back for the afternoon. DH was going to go cycling but ended up watching a new Star Wars thing instead. I went into town to take some money out of the bank (waiting for a new card so this is the only way I can get any cash). Bought next year’s “ special” Christmas cards half price eg Mum & Dad, husband etc & got sis in law’s Christmas pressie in the Boots sale. I started clearing our bedroom out yesterday so it now looks more of a mess than before; thinking very hard about continuing before I put the rabbits to bed. I am being ruthless & hope to take several bags to the Air Ambulance & Hospice shops. Still can’t believe how much stuff we have! I need Stacy Solomon to come in! Probably watch The Voice Kids later. A Star is Born appeals to me but not to DH so I’ll watch that another time.

You got me at wafers with butter!

We are packed and ready to go on holiday tomorrow morning. Dinner is roast chicken, coleslaw, apple salad and chips. I also made banana and toffee ice cream with leftover cream and mushy bananas.

CurryLover55 · 29/12/2021 19:27

SauceGotReal that sounds lovely! Where are you off to?

I'm about to pick up a new crochet project. Will be visiting the fridge shortly, to see what's there to be had...probably cheese 😋

Both girls are upstairs Minecrafting.

Their dad's playing F1.

immersivereader · 29/12/2021 19:31

Went sledging this morning. Home now for bacon and Lentil soup. Kids watching Ben and Holly. Me and DH on cellphones having a break. Will have a walk in a bit then start dinner, roast beef.

Invasionofthegutsnatchers · 29/12/2021 19:31

Just had chicken flippers, oven chips and beans for dinner followed by chocolate log and ice cream. 2nd G and T on the go. Need to nag DS to get in the bath. DH is out at football tonight

Workinghardeveryday · 29/12/2021 19:31

Just made sausage pasta for tea, dp cleaning kitchen 😁, quick bath, then kids, dp bath then finally sit down. No idea what to watch tonight. Took dog for walk up the fields this afternoon, never known wind like it! Ddog was frightened and nearly blew away - as did I!

MotherOfBeardedDragons · 29/12/2021 19:35

On day 7 of 10 isolating, everyone has cabin fever.
Dp playing with a magic set with DD(6)
DD(14) has astounded us all and actually got up to go for a shower thank heavens.
And I am eating a turkey sandwich channel hopping and realising that I would never survive in captivity

LostForWords2021 · 29/12/2021 19:35

We all have covid. DD is the spreader after going to winter wonder land.
No one has had a dinner properly since Xmas eve. It's a heavy cold with no appetite or energy.

We are mainly sleeping and sitting about for the last 6 days, it's shit and I'm away from work till next week - I tested positive on Wednesday.

badlydrawnbear · 29/12/2021 19:40

My DC are pretending to be cats and making a yowling noise. My actual cats are not impressed. I am hoping to get DC2 into bed very soon.

itsgettingweird · 29/12/2021 19:41

Took ds training this morning. I then got a really bad headache!

Put his new furniture together when it arrived and sorted his bedroom. Made dinner. Did some washing and tidied.

Also updated all my notebooks and diary for the next few weeks.

Now sat on sofa on Mn with horrid acid reflux and backache and my left thigh feels like it's spasming Confused whilst ds games online with friends.

Back to training before it's even light again tomorrow so chilling now.

DisforDarkChocolate · 29/12/2021 19:41

I am eating all the biscuits (again) and watching TV. In my head I'm planning a romantic short break for my wedding anniversary. Happy.

TurquoiseDragon · 29/12/2021 19:44

Right now, we are eating tea, which is turkey ramen. The DC cooked it, and we're cosily snuggled up in front of the tv, and chatting.

A580Hojas · 29/12/2021 19:48

My son (18) has 3 friends round here and they have taken over the kitchen making home made fried chicken. Dh is working. I am wasting time on my phone.

petalpower · 29/12/2021 19:50

I’m eating my own body weight in Pringles and Quality Street washed down with wine.

SFisnotsimple · 29/12/2021 19:50

DH out with mates drinking
DS (18) out with mates drinking (NB in a different town to DH!!)
DD (15) and I about to watch the 1,000,000th Marvel film - have seen so many the last week, we haven't seen most before and are watching them in strict chronological order

alsonotmyname · 29/12/2021 19:50

Eldest dc out to dinner with friends, just put younger dc to bed, just going to sit and watch tv tonight as we're all under the weather and tired after a late night up chatting

CurryLover55 · 29/12/2021 19:53

TurquoiseDragon what is turkey ramen? And I love your user name!

We're all watching TV. Dd1 took dog for a walk earlier. Dd2 has mostly been in bed. I've been working.
I've done my best to eat the Xmas chocolate Blush. Debating between reading or an early night after I've finished watching tv

Drywhitefruitycidergin · 29/12/2021 20:01

I've been working today & now sitting watching Below Deck Med. Ate Asian tapas for dinner & Christmas quality street for pudding.
Kids are with their dad so I'm contemplating tackling their bedroom.....Just one more episode....and maybe a g&t

AlbertBridge · 29/12/2021 20:04

I love threads like this.

DS2 has gone off for a belated (covid-delayed) Christmas with his dad. DS1 is still here as he's working.

The cat is upstairs, asleep on our bed. I suspect I left the heater on up there and that she's basking in a tropical paradise.

I'm on the sofa, DH is in the armchair. We're both watching "The Accident" on Netflix but I can't muster any sympathy for the characters, so I've started secretly MNing.

I'm trying my best not to eat all the Quality Street.

fortheloveofhuns · 29/12/2021 20:14

Started decluttering the house today which I always find very cathartic. Will finish it off tomorrow and then head to the tip. Very quiet evening - had pad thai for dinner, DP is now watching the football, and I'm browsing the internet for some new picture frames and a 2022 calendar.

TheWoollybacksWife · 29/12/2021 20:14

DS is playing on the VR headset. DD1 has just finished the dishes and is heading home to her house. DD2 is going to bed as she's up at 5 for work.

I'm crocheting a blanket for woolly hugs with a glass of wine and DH is putting the bins out. Oh the glamour!

Simonjt · 29/12/2021 20:22

We should be watching the new spider man, but it appears I booked for yesterday Blush

So we headed off to our little holiday lodge early, so I’m waiting for my husband to wake up from a danger nap in the car.

borisisaknob · 29/12/2021 20:23

I'm in the bath. Dh and dss have just stopped welding and come inside - or at least I think they have because the garage tunes have stopped.

Dd is watching friends on my bed and ds is playing with the dog and monopolising the living room tv.

Dd and I had a girly day shopping today while ds went to a friends. So everyone is a bit tired.

I brought home a takeaway after shopping so I haven't had to cook either. Great day!
