Good morning Mumsnet! What's everyone up to today?

[lucysmam]

I'm just making a cuppa to enjoy, in peace and quiet, before I get the girls up to go to town.

The washer's on & I've tidied round a bit so there's not much to do housework wise.

We're on the hunt for a-line school skirts, and school shoes, for dd1. We tried Asda the other day but they didn't have any of the bigger sizes on the racks 🤷‍♀️ I think we might have to order online though.

We'll pop into Primark too, more than likely, and nip to the fruit and veg stall on the market.

When we get in, the girls are likely to carry on watching Gilmore Girls & I'll either carry on disecting Cain's Jawbone or get out my crochet for an hour. I'm 1/4 of the way through a cardi for myself & dd2 has my next project lined up for me 🤣She wants me to make her a Taylor Swift cardigan like dd1's.

Not a clue what's for tea yet, maybe pasta 🤔 I'll have a glass of wine with whatever we have, and follow it with fruit and ice cream for afters 😋

What about all of you? 🙂

We're just back from a theme park today, so absolutely bushed! Going to have a glass of wine and then crawl into bed, everything aches! Looking forward to a very quiet day pottering around at home tomorrow.

Crikey, that was a long time ago. The princess dresses are waiting for new little girls to wear them now! Dd1's not far off 16, and dd2 is almost 13 😱

Dd1 laughed at the naked suggestion so is hunting down her own uniform for me to either say yes or no, and then order 🤣

It was Cruella this week at the outdoor cinema, Mama Mia last week or the week before & is HP and the Chamber of Secrets next week. I'm not sure what the earlier films are though - it was the Good Dinosaur this week just gone.

@lucysmam I'll be making some simple cushion covers to replace a couple that have started to get a bit threadbare and I'm going to have a route around my fabric stash to hopefully find enough fleece to make some thermal lining to add to the curtains in the dining room. Try as save some heat when the winter comes.

Ooh, that's a good idea for the curtains @Blackdiame, I wonder if I could do the same with ours in the living room & bedrooms.

Spent the day in the garden with a cuppa and a good book. Dcat has spent the day under my chair watching the birds on the feeders and in the bird bath! (She lives in hope😊) Dh has been out on what can only be described as an organised pub crawl, I've revelled in the peace!

Been digging out a new flowerbed and am exhausted and filthy. Off to pick up DS from.band call soon, then bung chicken wings in the oven.

I went wild swimming. Bloody fab.
