I'm in bed trying to get the motivation to get up and go to the gym. The gym is right by the petrol station I want to use (cheapest) before going to a shopping centre, to go to decathalon and shoe shopping, so I've got no excuse.

After the shopping centre I want to drive all the way to another town to go to a butchers that has advertised lamb balti sausages 😲 then might do the weeks shopping on the way home.

Then I also need to buy some hosing and duct tape for a project, do my housework when I get back so I can do absolutely nothing tomorrow 😆

Currently be arsed to get up though!

I’m currently sitting here wondering if I can put off cleaning the kitchen for another week. The answer is no.

MrsDThomas · 30/07/2022 08:34

im not a “do nothing” person

Rugby tots today, our sessions are either really busy or really quiet at the moment due to the summer holidays, after that I have my own rugby training as does my son.

This afternoon when we’re all free we’re going to do very little really, might go to the park, the dog will have a few walks, but apart from that no concrete plans. My husband went to see Lady Gaga last night and then went out, so I think he is feeling a tad delicate (he looks an absolute state!).

OnceAnElephant · 30/07/2022 08:53

Nothing I have to do today, apart from taking in the shopping at 2pm.

I might do something but probably not! I love lazy weekends of coffee and bed, maybe a film or two or just reading my book.

cliffdiver · 30/07/2022 08:55

DD2 is at her first non-family sleepover, so I'm counting down the minutes until we collect her.

Later, we're going to see DSD's new house, then school uniform shopping.

Tomorrow, going for a pub roast and then having a Euros party with DDs in the evening.

Carrieonmywaywardsun · 30/07/2022 09:00

I'm wide awake while DD and DH snore, I've done all the housework and showered, dressed, makeup on etc. Hopefully when they wake up we'll go out for the day, hopefully into the town so I can do some clothes shopping. So tired but weirdly motivated.

honkeytonkwoman38 · 30/07/2022 09:03

Finish packing and tidying the house. I set off for Spain tomorrow Smile

toastinateapot · 30/07/2022 09:37

I’m recovering from covid so pottering and not doing too much. Binge watching Without a Trace (which I’ve just discovered on Amazon) and might start reading a new book.

Tomorrow I’m Skyping a friend and watching the football. Might clean the bathroom but probably won’t.

DH is working all weekend.

I have found my people!

So I didnt go to the gym. I put petrol in and went straight to the shopping centre.

Decathalon didn't have what I wanted but I got some shoes, a sports top and some shorts. I got the hardware I needed.

Then I went to the butchers and got some sausages and minted lamb burgers. Then I went to the supermarket but I couldn't be arsed to do a full shop so just got a few bits, now I'm home until Monday morning 😁

I've moved all the DSs bedroom furniture round and hoovered underneath it all...DS2s toddler bed is now up against the wall so he will hopefully stop rolling out as much.

Also sorted out their old clothes into fabric recycling and charity shop bags.

Will go shower now and then go drop everything off with DS1. We'll end up at Asda's as I need to get DBro and SIL a housewarming present. I'm thinking a nice pot plant.

(They are younger than us and have just bought a house...am so jealous!)

ChocoButterfly · 30/07/2022 14:54

I'm at home with my terror of a 2 year old and 6 year old. Husband has fucked off out as usual. I'm trying to muster up the energy to take them to the shop to buy tea and snacks for tonight to have a film night (the most easiest form of entertainment).

In my defence I did take them out this morning to the park with some friends.

Perfectlystill · 30/07/2022 14:57

Been to Pilates. Cooked lunch for everyone. Eaten lunch and tidied it away. Made cookies with my youngest and finished my 1000 piece jigsaw.

Now I'm on the sofa trying to get energy to go for a short run before a shower and going out for a pizza en famille.

PeanutButterOnToad · 30/07/2022 14:59

I am on holiday in Bali. I haven’t made a bed, cleaned anything or cooked a meal in ten days so tomorrow I will have probably have another massage and chill by the pool and read my book until lunch when we have a booking for a really nice beachfront restaurant 😂

Perfectlystill · 30/07/2022 15:01

I thought I was having a nice day til I read that @PeanutButterOnToad !

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 30/07/2022 15:02

We've had a lazy day but off out shortly to have a look at the Commonwealth Games stuff in the city centre, then an early tea at Dishoom and a trip to the theatre.

Aseagullatemybaby · 30/07/2022 15:03

Crippled by PND I’m doing nothing but count down the seconds until dh is home at 8pm. I’m making 3 meals, giving snacks and watering my brood, watching Disney films/peppa pig/CBeebies and breastfeeding all whilst feeling desperately devastated that I’m not a better mum for having my shit together and being able to do/give more..

you asked 😆

Funkyslippers · 30/07/2022 15:03

Got home from Portugal yesterday so finished unpacking today, 2 loads of washing on the line. Dd1 gone to cinema then work, will be back late tonight. DD2 gone in town with friend then friend is staying the night.
OH gone food shopping and gym then out at 5 for the evening. Invited DD2 friend's mum over for drinks this evening but she hasn't replied yet. If she doesn't come I'll have the evening to myself 🙂

OnceAnElephant · 30/07/2022 15:53

Still in bed.

easyday · 30/07/2022 16:08

Laundry, dishwasher, watered garden this morning. Now just come back from dog walk with son on the common - it was his birthday yesterday so he's visiting, and a dog walk is a good way of talking without him having to look me in the eye so makes for a freer conversation (he's a teenager). He's asked for a roast tonight so lamb will go on soon.
About to watch the footie at 5.15 too - not something I'd normally do but he wants to.
My daughter will only appear at dinner (though she did help water the garden this morning).

ChocoButterfly · 30/07/2022 16:43

@Aseagullatemybaby sorry to hear that. You will feel better I promise. You absolutely have got your shit together...your baby is alive and you are breastfeeding!! You need to adjust your expectations. 💐💐💐

Jowak1 · 30/07/2022 16:52

It's my anniversary today but won't be doing anything as hubby not well 😞he's got heart problems and we are going for an echocardiogram tomorrow to find out what's going on. Really hope they find out something it's been going on months he's off work and feeling crap! Just doing jobs and sorting the children out 11 and 16 so not very young and understand their dad isn't well so they hope where they can. Might watch a film with daughter while son is out and hubby asleep

mrsbyers · 30/07/2022 16:57

Waited on husband to surface (watched blown Away and churned laundry while waiting) then to Homebase to pick up some lovely pots reduced in sale and found a pebble mirror I’d been covetting was also reduced. Went to Asda for some of their sausages and picked up a few other bits including some super cheap gardening stuff and then sat for half an hour in the carpark as a car had broken down blocking exit.

Now watching more blown away while husband watches football focus or whatever it’s called on sky in the kitchen.
