Morning All! What's everyone up to today?

[lucysmam]

I'm just enjoying my first cuppa of the day, in silence, but can hear dd2 moving about upstairs so don't think that's going to last.

I'm going to put some coloured thread in the back of dd2's school tights while I'm sitting here, so we can tell which are hers 🙄 then have half an hour with my paints & spoons for the coming week's story props.

I need to iron and nip to either Asda or Lidl for some things for Tuesday's Guide meeting.

Both girls have homework so I'll get dd2 to sit with me to do hers - or the maths at least since she doesn't understand it. Dd1 says it's something that's not taught until Y10.

We're having roast chicken for tea; probably with spuds, gravy, stuffing etc; but if it's warm I might just do the roast spuds and salad.

Tonight, I want to get my crochet out. I'm putting away a project for now - I'm not sure if it's still wanted & it's half-way ness is annoying me 🤷‍♀️

What about all of you? 🙂

Morning! I love these threads!

I'm about to get up. The washing machine is almost finished so I need to hang that out. Then I'm going to spring clean the two spare bedrooms and the lounge (visitors arriving this week), watch the F1 and finish decopaging my garden table.

Happy Sunday everyone!

Having chai and toast before starting work.
Husband is pottering about.
Our sons are still fast asleep.

I'll be doing my normal work/MN combo all day.
My husband plans to do some gardening.
Our sons will probably sleep until the afternoon then make some food and eat it in their rooms while gaming.

Welcome to my thrilling world.

Lazy breakfast and then church ... then meeting up with family for lunch out in a nice restaurant.... we very rarely meet up as a wider family so looking forward to it and hoping there's no drama. Hopefully home in time to have a riverside walk this evening.

Morning. My kids are seeing their dad later on. He will probably be late and then bring them back early because he's a waste of space. However I'm taking whatever time I have to dye my hair ,tint eyebrows, do gel nails have a lovely soak in the bath without being interrupted and hopefully a fairly decent facial. I bought a home face steamer thing and I want to try it out. I've decided I'm not doing any house work today I'm having a much needed me day. Its been months because I always feel guilty and usually spend my child free time cleaning or life admin and generally just chasing my arse.

Laying in bed with baby at the moment. Had a rough night as she is quite unsettled and dh and I are both a bit under the weather too. When I get up she will hopefully sleep a little longer so I can get some washing on, hoover round and wash and sterilise the bottles (so many bottles!) Then bacon butties for breakfast.

Ds is in his room attached to a screen so I will drag him out for a walk and an ice cream later. Then it'll be Sunday lunch (chicken) and preparing for the week ahead. Quiet but lovely. I like having no plans.

My kids are away at their dad this weekend and I’ve got my dad staying for a couple of weeks. We’re waiting for it to stop raining then we’re going fishing so I can hopefully fill the freezer, taking a picnic and climbing a mountain.

Lazy morning. Pre school age DDs are doing puzzles with TV on in the background.

About to get them ready, DH will take them to the play park and I'll take ddog for a walk.

A Children’s birthday party this afternoon.

DH is deployed this weekend so it's just me and the DCs who are currently wrestling on the sofa.

I've been up for ages, put out a load of washing on the line, made breakfast for everyone and started cleaning the kitchen and am now having my second cup of coffee for the morning.

Later we're dropping a load of things at the tip and then going for a picnic and activity day with the grandparents at a country park.

DS has some homework to do so he'll do that and DD can do some playdoh or something while I get all the school uniform ironed and then we're having a mini roast for tea.

Early nights all round I'm hoping ahead of a busy week!

Just had second cup of coffee, put another load of washing on, changed the bed and will be in until around 10.15am when going up to visit dad in care home just up the road from me.

Later on, mow the lawn, wash my hair, have dinner and try to avoid going into the kitchen which is currently a pile of rubble with no ceiling and no power as my kitchen is undergoing a transformation from a 1980s one to a 2022 one!

It's miserable for the next couple of weeks as it needs so much doing to it before the actual kitchen is installed and my dining room is full of crates, boxes, baskets and the dining room table is laden with kitchen stuff.

I have vowed to never, ever, do this again .....

I love these threads!
Lazy morning, then me and dd are going shopping for fathers day presents. Ds and dh are going kayaking and then we will meet up at home this evening for roast chicken dinner, must put chicken in slow cooker!

Having my leisurely Sunday morning coffee, then will be taking the kids to their trampolining and we need to do a meal plan and food shop. No other plans as we are skint at the moment, but my children don't seem to be able to handle a relaxing day at home not doing much so I'm sure we'll hear "mummy I'm bored/hungry" 10 million times before the day is done 😣

DH and DS are setting up a tv they bought me for my birthday, it’s for my games console. The old one is going on DS wall in his bedroom.

We went hill walking yesterday in the Peak District so having a very lazy morning. Potting up some plants later and may have a BBQ.

Going out for lunch - I'm sooooo excited, not sure what to wear. Definitely calls for some heels though

I'm so tired from The killers gig yesterday as I didn't get in till 2am.
I'm off to York for the night later.
But first.
Lots of coffee!

Ooh @lucysmam , which paint do you use on your spoons please?!

Morning!

I'm going in to town in a bit to take a couple of things back and have a wander. Then a thrilling trip to the tip later on - we know how to live

We have roadworks so a nice flat road nearby is closed, taking both boys over to try and get them riding bikes without stabilisers, DS2 is excited but DS1 is Autistic and has already convinced himself he'll have a horrific accident so he's having a twenty minute reset in the bath.

I'm not going to plan the rest of the day as it's all dependent on how DS1 copes with the first bit but I'm sure there will be some washing and pulling out blimmin Bindweed 🙄

Did a Lasagne yesterday that's getting baked today and hoping to eat in the garden.

Lazy breakfast with DH who's going to pick DC1 up from a sleepover while I have a nice shower, hair conditioning treatment and do my nails for my baby shower later. When DC1 is home the neighbours child is coming over to play, they're just home from a week of camping so we're giving her lunch so they can get unpacked etc in peace. Nice to have someone to occupy DC1 too 😅

Morning! I am going to yoga and then grocery shopping. Ds has a class today. Not a lot else. Hiding from the extremely high pollen which is torturing us all here 🤧

Morning.

Sat with my lucozade (don't drink tea or coffee!) and have read my book for a hour. DC2 has just woken up so need to get some breakfast. I'm craving toast as I dreamt about toast for some bizarre reason.
Need to pop to the local shop to get some spuds for roast dinner, other than that probably just some cleaning and relaxing. Had a busy day yesterday setting up DC1 new PC and a walk so need to relax today.

@jesusmaryjosephandtheweedonkey I saw them in Doncaster the other week! They're EPIC! I'm listening to Pressure Machine atm, while I'm painting. I should move & get dressed though...🤔

@familyissues12345 I'm using acrylics on wooden spoons then I'll seal them with yatch varnish after tomorrow's nursery session. I've attached a pic of "The Ugly Five" from last week. This week's are "The Snail and The Whale".

One load of washing done, dried on line and put away. Kitchen has been cleaned. Have hoovered and mopped the house, emptied dishwasher. Just about to clean our bathroom, then off to the airport to pick up DD’s friend who is out on her hols for the next 10 days. Then we are off to the brewery for lunch. No doubt alcohol will be involved.

Morning! I've got a horrible non-covid cold thing and want to go back to bed but can't. So I'm going to power through and shampoo the carpets. This will probably all end very badly.

Morning! Just having a quiet cup of tea outside while waiting for the washing machine to finish, kids entertaining themselves for a bit. Think we’ll have a much needed quiet Sunday, poter about the house, maybe a film later. Hope everyone has a nice Sunday!

Morning everyone.

We’ve been to character breakfast this morning, yep it is as cringe as you would imagine, but my son liked it.

I’m relaxing in a park bit of Disney with the baby, we’re taking it in turns to do rides etc with my son and to rest with the baby. Driving home later, my husband wanted us to get the train, I wanted to drive, I won in the end. I have now realised he was right but I’m obviously not willing to admit that.

We’ve got to rush a load of laundry when we get home so my son has uniform for tomorrow, majorly regretting not doing that on Friday.

Have a fab Sunday everyone.
