Instead of cocking about on MN? I should be cleaning the house...however I'm not - I'm sat on the sofa reading random threads 😫

I should be getting some productive house chores done while toddler DD naps in her cot, but I'm relaxing on the sofa while she naps in my arms! We both love a contact nap.

Savingpeoplehuntingthings · 14/05/2022 12:43

Nothing 😁
We're away for the weekend, just back from the beach, going for a swim in the pool shortly and sitting about relaxing outside the caravan for a bit now.

doitwithlove · 14/05/2022 12:45

Should be working, I'm at my desk looking productive 🤣🤣

nearlyspringyay · 14/05/2022 12:50

The food shop

Alphabet1spaghetti2 · 14/05/2022 12:50

Cleaning, gardening and sorting out the shed and my car boot. At least half the laundry is done. So not a total write off!

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 14/05/2022 12:52

Continuing to weed the front garden but I’ve already done a lot* and my back was aching.
*About ten billion self-sown forget me nots. At least they pull up easily though.

Mabelface · 14/05/2022 12:56

Exactly what I'm doing now. Saturdays are chill days.

easyday · 14/05/2022 12:59

There's definitely things I COULD be doing, but on weekends I don't feel I SHOULD, other than cook for me and my daughter. And walk the dogs.

WeirdCatLady · 14/05/2022 13:00

I should be stripping the colour off my hair, ready for a trip to the salon next week.

But it stinks so I’m putting it off 🙄

Evilista · 14/05/2022 13:02

I should always be cleaning my house. Instead I'm sitting on my arse, because there will always be a job to do but I deserve a rest sometimes too

PickAChew · 14/05/2022 13:03

Nothing. I'm sitting with Ds2 while he reduces his lunch to its component elements.

popcornfrenzy · 14/05/2022 13:32

Ah I've found my people Grin

Should be having a sleep, before work tonight.

Justmuddlingalong · 14/05/2022 13:43

Clearing out the pots and containers which are still sporting the dead remnants of last year's plants. I'm just having a coffee first. ☕ And waiting for the wind to die down a bit.🍃

Alphabet1spaghetti2 · 14/05/2022 13:47

@Justmuddlingalong would you mind if I just added my pots to yours?🤣

Justmuddlingalong · 14/05/2022 13:50

Bash on, @Alphabet1spaghetti2 . They can all look sad and neglected together. You'll need to bring them over though, as my arse appears to be welded to the sofa.

iklboo · 14/05/2022 13:52

Nothing. I've been for a lovely walk this morning, found a park I'd never seen before, had lunch and a piece of rhubarb & cherry cake. DH finished work at 12:30 so we went & got the shopping in. BBQ at friends' house tonight.

bcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyza · 14/05/2022 13:52

Should be washing the dishes and dealing with my pile of washing however just watched starwars and taking child to the park.

chisanunian · 14/05/2022 13:56

I should be tackling the front garden, but it is still in full sunshine so I'm going to wait until later this afternoon. I should also be doing some laundry, but I can't be bothered.

Babyroobs · 14/05/2022 14:04

I'm really pissed off with DH today. I would normally be doing the weekly food shop and other stuff but have told him he can do this today.

DinkBoo · 14/05/2022 15:31

I should either be sorting out the spare room to turn it back into a use able office/guest room rather than dumping ground.
Or marking some essays.
Or doing some of the house tidying up and sorting that has been neglected (since October) recently.

Instead, I am here bored scrolling and drinking a pint of peppermint tea to feel somewhat virtuous.

SpeedofaSloth · 14/05/2022 15:48

Ironing. I'm not, obvs.

smith19784 · 14/05/2022 16:14

My expenses for March and April. Instead I've eaten 5 packs of crisps, Percy pigs and had a snooze. It's ridiculously sunny outside but I'm in the lounge snuggled in a blanket enjoying the quiet.

cdba88 · 14/05/2022 16:28

I have 2500 words due in on Monday. I'm 500 words in and losing the will to live.

I hate uni

FreezyFreezy · 14/05/2022 16:30

Marking English books and DT booklets. I haven't even opened them yet.
