What’s Happening In Your House?

[SunshineLollipopsAndRainbows]

Haven’t done one of these threads for a while. Had a really hectic week so trying to kick back a bit today. I’m starving so going to make cheese on toast in a mo. DH cleaning out the rabbits & cursing our littlest, who hid in the garage & refused to come out! The door at the back which leads to the garden really needs to be replaced. I dropped DD13 at a friend’s earlier. There’s quite a bit to do in the house but I probably won’t do it, although I must at least clean the loo. Defrosting sweet chilli salmon fillets for tea which we’ll have with Jersey Royals, broccoli & fine beans. DH & I might watch a film tonight or some more episodes of Greys Anatomy. Still only on series 3!

Anyone out there?

At my parents today. Dad is watching golf. Mom is discovering that the duck she put in the fridge to defrost yesterday is frozen solid. I am doing some online paperwork for them and watching the documentary on models that was on Sky on Friday.

Spent the morning loading dive kit into the car for tomorrow's dive. Now lounging about, would like to sit outside but it's a bit windy here! Fish, chips and peas for dinner later.

Hello 😊
DS1 is playing on the laptop, DS2 is cuddling me infront of cbeebies and will hopefully nap soon. DH is at the supermarket.

(We were at the playground all morning so having are having a bit of rest.)

Later DS1 has a maths worksheet to do and then we will have pasta as an early dinner and hopefully go for a walk on the beach after.

Took my 2 DC and my niece to the play park this morning, back home for lunch, DD is napping upstairs and DS has just fallen asleep on me, and the dogs are chilling in the sun in the garden 😁 I've got a mountain of jobs and cleaning to do before my DS birthday on Wednesday but I can't help but enjoy these snuggles while he's young enough to want to sleep on me!

Laying in the living room on the sofa with relaxing music on, curtains are closed and my baby is fast asleep on my chest whilst my other child is napping in bed. Its been a hectic morning so this is heaven right now!

DH took DS to Sunday League Football this morning and dropped me off at local airport on the way. I watched a plane take off and was allowed on the airfield to take a video of it. It was a warplane from the early 1940s.

Now all relaxing with screens for a while. Will prod DS to put his washing on. Then I'll take him to my Mum and Dad's for an hour or two this afternoon. My bro and his family will likely join us and DS will get to play with his cousins.

I'll be making 'Mumma's Righteous Mac and Cheese' for dinner.

We have had a very very social week/weekend with way to much drinking. Its festival time in Spain so Thursday and Friday night we didn't get in till 3am. Yesterday we had another late night and didn't eat till 11pm then obviously didn't go to bed till 2am . We all slept in this morning but I did manage to get a big food shop done ( shops normally close on a Sunday but because its holiday season they are all open) . DH has cleaned the pool and is currently sunbathing in his pants😅 ( fortunately we have a very private garden) and we have homemade pizza for dinner . Not sure how we will get up for work and the school run in the morning 🙄

My 2 youngest are with their dad. Back in a coupe of hours or so. Oldest ds is at his boyfriend house. So it's just me teen ds and preteen dd. Dd is on playstation in her room. Ds is making a cake. I don't think he knows what he's doing though.

I have not done much done a wash hung that to dry . Cleaned one of the toilets. I definitely have stuff to do but feeling very lazy.

I moved into My house just over 8 weeks ago. So I have been having a look on line to see what stuff I can buy for the house. But never make it past checkout.

I did a bit of housework this morning then had a lovely long FaceTime catch up with my sister, who lives overseas.
We've been gardening since, taming the wild shrubbery. Ds12 mowed the lawn and has been pottering about watching TV and on PlayStation, ds16 is in bed as he had an end of GCSEs camp out at a friend's farm last night and had no sleep.
I've just made some scones to take to my mum's this afternoon and sat down for 5 minutes with some lunch.
No dinner to prepare as ds1 requested takeaway curry as his end of exams treat from us - didn't want to go out for dinner, and will still be tired and tetchy so probably for the best!

Went food shopping earlier whilst DH walked the dog. He's now waging the VW campervan outside and I've just returned from a trip to Superdrug with younger DD (16) for her to get makeup. We've got mozzarella pork meatballs and spaghetti for dinner and daughter has all her friends coming round to the house later.

I came home from a pet-sitting job this morning.

It's howling wind and pouring rain outside so I'm watching TV with the dog and DH is upstairs having a nap

I bought a new, v powerful hoover yesterday so have hoovered the whole house while DH took DS to the cinema. Two lots of washing done, floors mopped and bedding changed. Just waiting for the rain to stop then a nice walk to the fields nearby with the dog.

I'm cooking a soup and about to get ready to go snorkeling 🤿

DD ages 6 is recovering from chicken pox - the spots look awful and haven't all scabbed over yet so it'll be another day off school tomorrow! Youngest DD (20 months) is having a nap - she's not feeling well either.

Husband and I have rearranged some of the furniture in our open plan living space to make more of a play area for the girls. I haven't had a decent night sleep in a week due to all the illness in the house so would love to crawl into bed and have a nap. May settle for a bath instead!

It’s nearly 11pm here Sunday night.

In bed but can’t sleep with worry. Dog beside me snoring. DH in shower. Both DC’s not home. One on holiday and the other in hospital,

I'm sitting here quietly spitting bullets.

Shambolic and totally unnecessary neighbour debacle, in case you were wondering.

Went to karate at 9am for a couple of hours. Was meant to sort out front garden after lunch but dozed on the sofa instead.

DH is on his Xbox, kids are all off doing something and I'm sitting here on MN slowly suffocating due to hayfever and working up the effort to put some consideration into what to have for dinner later.

Small child has been vomiting. Larger child came out in chicken pox.

All knackered, and trying to get on top of the house whilst preparing for a business trip tomorrow... Sigh.

Was meant to be having a quiet day as still recovering post covid and have work tomorrow. Spent all day yesterday back in bed after first full day back at work on Friday 🙄

However I have dropped my son at a friend's and picked him up, changed two beds, cooked stuff for packed lunches next week, fed the birds, helped son organise himself to walk to another friends as they are getting a lift to go bouldering for an hour or so.

This evening encouraging the doing of some homework and going to bed early I think. Roll on the summer holidays.

Dh is trying to look after the kids. I’m pretending to be napping upstairs as been up all night with the toddler. Really I’m just listening to a lot of pots and pans banging and a whinging toddler plus eldest dd watching ‘The Lion King’ too loudly.

Lovely day here, DD2 (13) had her 1st XC competition on new pony, not placed but came back safe and happy so very pleased...

DD1 (15) had a little job interview at our village pub and was offered some hours off the back, she doesn’t need to work but she wanted too and mostly I’m very pleased that she had the motivation and confidence to go for it!

DD 3 (11) had been on her pony galloping round the field bareback and with no hands and I’m so please she’s still at an age that being horse daft is just hanging out with her 4 legged friend having fun!

We are all back in the house, showered, crisps and nuts out, roast in and I’m just about to have a larger.

Love a Sunday!!

Quiet day thankfully. In fact it's been a lovely quiet weekend. I had a lie in today & finished my book. Done a couple of chores, kids had a riding lesson. Now reading a mag/messing on Mumsnet whilst DH is cooking our tea. Been so nice to have a quiet weekend after family hospital dramas & busy weeks at work.

I’ve been in bed all day with covid! Which is just a bit rubbish and have been getting messages from ds 11 whilst I am quarantined to my room!
he is feeling fine and has just gone swimming with his friends.

Quiet. DH having his tea. Dd coming downstairs any. Invite for hair washing
