What’s Happening In Your House?

[SunshineLollipopsAndRainbows]

Haven’t done one of these threads for ages. Hope you’re all having a good evening. I went back to work today after nearly 2 weeks off but actually I’m not feeling as tired as I thought I would. Easy tea tonight as DH won’t be home until about 8.30(ready meal for me, probably bacon & egg sandwich for him). Need to put the rabbits to bed soon. Not sure what to watch on tv later - might catch up with Saturday Kitchen. DD13 in her room, periodically emerging to say how bored she is. The holidays are going to feel very long! We have just had a lovely long weekend with my brother & family though. None of us wanted to come home.

I'm half watching the Hairy Bikers & half scrolling here. Going to put my phone down in a mo though & refresh my memory how to put in gift aid claims for my Rainbows and Guides.

Dd1 is making a cup of tea & talking to dd2's praying mantis (who she apparently doesn't like 🤔)

Dd2 is Minecrafting, upstairs

I’m lying in bed scrolling through my phone, I’ve had a busy day and I’m exhausted and need time out

I love these threads. I'm in bed starting a new book (and scrolling Mumsnet!). DH is downstairs and DD has finally managed to go to sleep!

Anyone else?

I’ve been out playing tennis tonight, just back and enjoying a cuppa before bed. Busy day at work otherwise, and another to come tomorrow. Dp still working. Kids are asleep.

Currently lying in bed listening to my husband try to get our 8 (nearly 9) month old daughter back to sleep. She went down fine at 7pm and by 9 she was wide awake. Shes been horrendous the past few night & just won’t sleep. She’s not sleeping too much/ too little in the day so we just can’t work out why! Anyway hopefully she’ll go back down soon & we will all get some sleep 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

DH and I watching an old episode of Jonathan Creek.

Watching an old episode of Royal Family. Kids are all asleep.

I’m on holiday in a trailer tent, dd is asleep in my bed and DH is reading to ds to get him to sleep. It’s gone pretty cold this evening’

I've had an enormous row with husband about feeling unhappy /menopausal and now texting my friends pretending all is fine because I never discuss my relationship even with the closest of friends.

We’ve just been out for dinner. It was amazing food and we were stuffed…until the pudding menu came out. Dd1 stuffed her face with sticky toffee pudding and dh, dd2 and I shared a humongous cheese board.

We’re back now and feeling rather sorry for ourselves. It was a lovely treat to go out for dinner as we rarely go out to eat, but have take away once a week if we’re lucky.

My son is flying back to the US after staying with us for a couple of weeks. I’m tracking his flight whilst putting through an Ocado order.

Just got into bed and cajoled my dog to come with me. She is now snoring, and I’m getting ready for work in the morning. Rest of family watching silly cat videos on you tube!

I'm catching up on the soaps. DS1 has just gone down after having a late nap today. DS2 is sleeping in his nest, although not peacefully, he's threatening to wake and DH isn't helping matters by rustling his f@cking biscuit wrapper 😡 it's been a looong day 😵‍💫

DS and DD now asleep, getting worried about how I will get back to normal routine when school starts up. Just put the tortoise to bed and having a cup of tea., about to watch some Netflix.

I find it really heartwarming when people say things like "putting the tortoise / rabbit to bed" I don't know why as I'm sure everyone treats their pets well! But I love hearing about peoples pet routines lol

Juggling poorly DTs (14 weeks and full of snot/sticky eyes/cough) whilst trying to do my revalidation for work. Breastfeeding twins and typing on the laptop is not fun.

Apparently everyone understands the meaning of Maternity LEAVE apart from the fucking NMC. Knobbers.

On holiday, DH and I just got from a meal followed by a drink on the sea front in Italy. Bliss. I shouldn’t have had the last glass of vino as DH asleep and my head now hurting. On the plus side tomorrow can get up when I like as now work!

Drinking wine and just put my teen to bed- he requested it and acquiesced to a hug!

Finally sitting on the sofa in my pj's as we got back from holiday about 6pm!

Didn't have a great holiday with dh so a bit of a frosty atmosphere but I'm going to bed now. Kids had a great time though.

I love these threads! I find them comforting.
I'm lying in bed with DS who has fell asleep but my arm is trapped underneath him and I'm trying to gauge how deep his sleep is so I can move ! He has SEN and likes me to lie with him till he is asleep. I do worry how this will ever change in the future...

Partner catching up on commonwealth games
Im on here with the start of a bad heartburn attack

I’m lying on the floor on a Shakti mat, listening to DH snoring in bed next to me.

Eldest DC is in their room probably playing computer games and youngest is watching TV with me (and about to go to bed, both are teens so I don't get my quiet evenings so much anymore). We're both having a cup of tea.

DH is at work until after midnight.

Two of the dogs are sleeping in the hallway, third dog is snuggling up to me and DC wanting cuddles and butt scratches, and the hamster is in her food bowl filling up her pouches.

Finished work and started painting, broke off to fling a pasta bake in the oven and went back to painting. Broke off to watch some of the Commonwealths.
