Hosting a dinner party to celebrate some big news - just put the champagne into the fridge!

TabithaTiger · 22/07/2022 15:44

Going to the gym when I finish work at 5. Come home, walk the dog. Make something quick and easy for dinner. Shower. PJs. Carry on watching Witness no 3 which I started last night and is good so far.

buzzheath · 22/07/2022 15:44

@CamFlan Oooh, hope it goes well! And congrats on the good news!

Thank you! I’m quite excited.

JoanOgden · 22/07/2022 15:50

Packing for my overseas holiday with friends which starts tomorrow for a week.

NellesVilla · 22/07/2022 15:51

I’m childfree (ie I have chosen not to reproduce), OP, thanks!

Tonight, I am visiting an elderly relative in a care home with my dog, then walking my dog and then having a lovely pizza. Probably a film later on!

Wahey; the excitement, but it suits me!

buzzheath · 22/07/2022 15:57

@NellesVilla Okay. By "childless" I just meant those who don't have children (I wasn't concerned with the reasons for that for the purposes of this post).

Happily lying on couch watching TV!

ChinBristles · 22/07/2022 19:28

Going down youtube rabbit holes as per my other thread!

AnotherDelphinium · 22/07/2022 19:29

Not single but I live alone; tonight I’m at work until 2200 ish, then I’ll go home to squash the sofa in front of the tv for a bit before bed!

MarmiteyCrumpets · 22/07/2022 19:31

Catching up with That Chapter on YouTube.

Auntpodder · 22/07/2022 19:32

About to head out to hear a friend’s band in a pub but would much prefer a night in…

Snailsaresweet · 22/07/2022 19:37

Having a couple of glasses of wine while listening to Nick Cave. Then watering the garden, and dicking around on mumsnet while eating supper...Then a bit of TV before bed.

TitInATrance · 22/07/2022 19:38

Been out all day (lunching), going to clip the hedge now it’s cooler

Gingernaut · 22/07/2022 19:40

Night shift

Frogium · 22/07/2022 19:41

Not single, but child free and live alone. Currently finishing work. Having dinner with a friend later.

What about you, @buzzheath ?

GrandSlamFinalee · 22/07/2022 19:43

House sitting for a friend right now. I need to go get some food in for the weekend, do the cat litter, water the garden. Then pack and go to bed early as I leave at 6am tomorrow on a work day trip, back at 10pm. I need an early night.

Sally99 · 22/07/2022 19:45

A glass of wine and the television. Quite happySmile

LikeAWildFire · 22/07/2022 19:45

A couple of glasses of wine and Virgin River on netflix.

EBearhug · 22/07/2022 19:55

Housework because potential new man is visiting tomorrow. It's not really more housework than i'd be doing over the weekend anyway. He's mostly going to have to take me as I am. I'm not setting up false expectations of frequent dusting or anything. I'm mostly wondering what clothes to wear.

Originally I had thought I was on-call this weekend, so had nothing planned, but I misread the rota*, and it's next week.

  • I organise the rota...
ToppCat · 22/07/2022 20:14

Watering the garden then sitting in the garden with a glass of wine and my iPad listening to 6 Music. Happy days!

buzzheath · 22/07/2022 21:50

Hope everyone’s having fun! I got a lovely takeout, watched The OA and made my flat smell nice.

Just finishing my fourth beer in a busy local bar. Then I'm off home for whisky and bed. My tablet and phone keep me entertained. It's so gratifying to see small, independent bars like this (and the one over the road) doing well.

nocoolnamesleft · 22/07/2022 22:01

Relaxing after a long week at work. Nice food in front of the TV, whilst online. Chat on the phone with a very old friend. Then reading at bedtime.

perimenofertility · 22/07/2022 22:18

Late night shopping, then sofa/TV/cuddle my dog.
