What’s Happening In Your House?

Chips have just gone in & eggs out of the fridge ready to fry in a bit. Ham on the plates. DH eating slices of bread to keep him going & now cutting a substantial chunk of cheese. I cannot keep up with the cheese consumption in this house! We were having slow cooker beef stew but the shin of beef had gone off 😢 Had a brief row with DH earlier about how much food is wasted & he does have a point. DD13 in her room. She is school refusing ( very long & incredibly stressful story) but has said she will go in on Monday. I have drunk a little too much wine, got emotional & sobbed over Supernanny videos. Looking forward to Corrie & Gogglebox if it’s still on.

Kids asleep, pizza in oven, looking forward to starting After Life series 3

Watching snooker and drinking wine. I model my life on that of Her Majesty the Queen.

Justonedayatatime11 · 21/01/2022 20:04

DH and DD downstairs about to watch the football. I'm in bed feeling a bit sorry for myself with a rancid dose of tonsillitis that does not want to shift. May try and treat it with alcohol and chocolate!

I’m watching Only Murders in the Building, craving a G&T but can’t have one until I’ve collected DS from scouts at 9pm!
DD in her room and Dh is in the bath.

Grandchildren here, but ddil has just come to pick dgd up. Dgs will stay for a sleepover. Ddils taking her two pesky dogs home as well. Everyone's eaten, now I'll watch My 600 Lbs life. Not that I'm 600 lbs thank God! It's been a long day!

Husband wfh, and teaching Americans until 9.30pm. Rest of us warned to stay off Internet because connection not the best. Have cleared up dishes and put school shirts on to wash. Kids trying to keep cat awake... Wee sod has recently decided to go out at bedtime and then yowls at bedroom window until he wakes me to let him back in... 6am this morning
I am wondering about a g&t

Our ground floor is open plan - eldest is chatting with a friend and playing fifa in the living room bit. Youngest is sitting at the study area which is under the open stairs.
I’m in the dining part messing about on here looking into the kitchen bit thinking I must start washing up. Fajitas and rice tonight.

Anjo2011 · 21/01/2022 20:18

Youngest laughing loudly whilst watching you tube videos, eldest chatting to a friend in her room, husband gone out with friends, I’ve just cleaned the kitchen and am now sat on the sofa with the remaining tub of Christmas chocolate. Going to watch some trash on the TV.

SmellyOldOwls · 21/01/2022 20:19

Just ordered pizza, watching Would I Lie to You. Feel really sicky so hoping some food will help Confused

FasterthanBolt · 21/01/2022 20:33

Ds1 is getting ready to go out, ds2 is in the bath and ds3 is fast asleep. DH is watching football and I'm waiting for the washing machine to finish before I go to bed, it's been a long week!

ShinyPikachu · 21/01/2022 20:35

No idea as I'm not there. I'm at a friend's house tonight. Hopefully the dogs and the teenagers are all behaving. Grin

lucysmam · 21/01/2022 20:36

I'm scrolling here, Glee in the background, waiting for the washer to finish so I can dry my one pair of decent jeans on a radiator for the morning 🙄

I really want to pick up my crochet project but I also really cba! I'm knackered after my first week in my new job & my feet are throbbing!

Dd2's Minecrafting upstairs.

Dd1's just made a brew & is off upstairs to play The Sims for a while.

WorkEvent · 21/01/2022 20:42

3yo and 1yo are asleep. We’ve just had ramen with tofu, now eating raspberry and coconut cake on the sofa watching WILTY. We’ll probably watch something in bed after this. House rabbit is having a good run around.

BaggaTDoubleTroubleDoubleG · 21/01/2022 20:43

Holding 16 week old who is already on his first wake up having gone to sleep at 7pm. I asked DH if he would go but he had a strop and slammed the living room door so I’m pissed off with him. The nights are so shit at the moment and we are exhausted and tetchy.

Also on day 8 of isolation with Covid. I’m negative now as is DD so we can go out, but baby still under the weather so we stayed in today again. It’s been a long week.

Will drink a mint tea and then go bed and await the million or so wake ups throughout the night. Might read a few pages of a book if I can manage it. Life is a grind right now.

The grocery delivery just arrived and I pounced on the grapes and scarfed the grapes like I was being timed for a competitive eating contest. I am craving grapes all the time so ate the entire punnet. Living large on a Friday evening.

DH is talking with relatives on the phone. DS is gaming loudly with friends in his bedroom.

I might start on a 2nd punnet of grapes in an hour or so as I am still craving them. There are 3 punnets left. Exciting times ahead.

Bagga seems like your DH could be more supportive?

I'm having a hot whisky and recovering from the c word that shall not be namedGrin

In Ireland and we are celebrating the news Irelands restrictions are over at 6am tomorrow morning. Going to watch a bit of TV. Dc in bed.

Ledkr · 21/01/2022 20:49

Ozark of course. What else?

KurtWilde · 21/01/2022 20:55

We had slow cooker beef stew and dumplings for tea, watched Cruella (again) while we ate it on the sofa. It's bloody freezing in Yorkshire and the house is taking an age to warm up. Many blankets are helping.

DC now wandering around doing various things, there's some Tiktok going on, and YouTube by the sound of it (I'd recognise Dan TDMs voice anywhere!), so I'm trawling through Disney+ and will probably settle on starting X-Files all over again.

Then it's bed and an earlish night after a long week, unless I fall asleep on the sofa!

BaggaTDoubleTroubleDoubleG · 21/01/2022 21:00

Ah currylover he mostly is. We’re just both at the end of our tethers with sleep deprivation, Covid and isolation and two young kids.

lucysmam · 21/01/2022 21:03

@KurtWilde I had no idea the X-Files were on Disney+! That's my watching sorted once I finish Glee and then Angel! So pretty much the next year or so with how often I don't put the tv on 🤣

doitwithlove · 21/01/2022 21:10

Bed for me, working tomorrow - day 1 of 5 done. Four more shifts to do 😬

HalloHello · 21/01/2022 21:10

DD (4) asleep in bed, DS (4m) asleep on me. DH (35 🤣) sorted our tea, pizza, onion rings and salad with a large wine and now he's upstairs doing some work and I'm watching This Is Us with a Billionaire Magnum and more wine. It's been a looooong week!!!

Mimilamore · 21/01/2022 21:12

Sitting on train from Victoria to Kent after a very pleasant catch up with oldest friend. Slightly pissed from a couple of cocky in the American bar in Brasserie Zindel! Good day!

ItIsABumperCropThisYear · 21/01/2022 21:13

Thud.
“Today…Well, today is our beginning.”

That’s was the ending for me - didn’t know there was another season, thanks, Ledkr.
