How’s your Wednesday evening so far? I’m looking at some spuds that need peeling & fine beans that need topping & tailing & trying to summon up some enthusiasm! I just had an improvisation session on the piano. Been doing that a lot more recently as I love it & it’s very therapeutic. Posted some of my pieces online. DH is working til 8. DD13 in her room but she’ll go for a walk later. She was off school today & sadly we locked horns more than once. I really have to stop biting! My turn to put our lovely bunnies to bed later. DH & I will probably catch up with some more Greys Anatomy. Now on season 5 so plenty to keep us going! I also want to watch The Dementia Choir programme. Cried buckets at the last one. I think Vicky McClure is fab. Such a warm empathetic person. I may be having a rather large glass of wine! Or 2!

Hello! DH is home putting the dd7 to bed, she's had her flu vaccination today so poor lass is wiped out! Hopefully wake up with a bit more energy tomorrow.

I'd love a piano, sounds heaven being able to play when you like, we have the eldest learning the keyboard, are the skills transferable to piano do you know?

I'm currently sat outside dd10's club getting a half hour of mindless scrolling out of my system before I head home with dd and have a wine whilst she gets ready for bed. We are on the last episode of From on nowtv, it's actually brilliant. What was your dd off with? There's a lot of covid around where we are just now, hope she's feeling better soon 💐

Dh is prepping work for tomorrow and I'm running around emptying bins as the black bin goes tomorrow and it's half empty Smile
Talk about an exciting life!

Vampirethriller · 12/10/2022 19:33

I've just sat down with my knitting and Chernobyl Diaries, DD is asleep, we had one of those frozen party food platter things for dinner. Couldn't be bothered to do any actual cooking.
Dug up a place in the allotment to make a wildlife pond this afternoon.

TheLightSideOfTheMoon · 12/10/2022 19:34

We’re watching The Midwich Cuckoos and I absolutely recommend it.

Ruibies · 12/10/2022 19:35

Currently holding my sleeping 5mo because every time I try to transfer to the cot he wakes up. He's feeling under the weather and we've had a tough day. DH is at a work do tonight so as soon as I can lob ds in the cot I'm going to wash and sterilise bottles and get into bed myself. Fingers crossed we don't start our day at 5am tomorrow like we did today. 🙈

MintJulia · 12/10/2022 19:37

Just finished supper, the log burner is glowing, the sitting room is warm, DS is laughing at YouTube and I'm ignoring the clearing up in the kitchen.

Things could definitely be worse. 😊

WhatWouldHopperDo · 12/10/2022 19:43

DH and I finished eating about half an hour ago and we’re both glued to screens to avoid clearing up!

I can hear DS (17) yelling down his Xbox headset and adult DD is in her room.

DDog is sulking because I won’t let him out in the garden to bark at the street light!!

MorningPlatypus · 12/10/2022 19:48

I am in bed cuddled up with my purring cat.

AdverseXCamber · 12/10/2022 19:54

DS and I ate dinner and watched Dahmer, don’t worry he is an adult! DH has been in Birmingham on business and has just finished eating and then changed cat litter. About to have a coffee and watch some tv together. DS is off out to the gym. Showed them both the cabinet I stripped and sanded down today. All very rock and roll.

Igo · 12/10/2022 19:54

I have literally been asleep on the sofa on and off all day (painkillers from the hospital) I set myself alarms to take my temperature/bp oxygen etc and take my medications.

my very lovely dh cooked the children some dinner and I listened to them read kind of dh is currently doing the washing up and then we will snuggle on the sofa in front of the long burner. I am not a snuggly person normally I just really need it today

Kids have had showers and now they have 15 mins before bed time, so I’ve asked them to read a book or watch YouTube quietly until I send them up to bed

the cat has come to investigate me a couple of times then wandered off looking for more treats.

Bugbeau · 12/10/2022 19:55

Had a very busy day at work and DH is working late every night this week so it’s been manic. Just finished putting DD to bed and finally sitting down on my bed!!DS is reading beside me- it’s very cosy!

MissyB1 · 12/10/2022 19:58

Just finished our pudding. Ds (13) is doing homework in his bedroom, Dh is out at a work meeting. Will have to nag ds into the shower soon - he’s a total soap dodger!

bluesky45 · 12/10/2022 20:01

I'm supposed to be doing the laundry and then doing some work. Currently sat scrolling. Got a headache and lacking motivation. DS was sick all over the bathroom earlier so I had to clean that up. DH is now doing bedtime. Probably watch some TV later, maybe a grand designs if we have one available to watch.

Purplehonesty2 · 12/10/2022 20:30

I had a really physically active day today so I am in the bath.

Dh and ds (17)are watching the football, I heard them yelling a few mins ago so that's good!

Dd and ds (13) are away for the week on hols!

I made low carb chicken and butternut Squash with chorizo and feta for tea and it was bloody awful!! I love all those ingredients but it was like mush.

I'm wondering about putting a rug on dhorse as it's quite cold but it's stopped raining so I am dithering.

NoDairyNoProblem · 12/10/2022 20:48

I’m in my pyjamas scrolling MN and ordering a few bits for DD’s upcoming birthday.
DH is making us both tea and putting the dishes away.

DS is at work (after uni) until 10pm and DD1 is having a bath (she seems to have half of lush in it from the smell) and DD2 is reading before lights out.

BuckarooBanzai · 12/10/2022 21:34

I made a rather hot green Thai curry it did not go down well with the brood! I've made birthday cakes for DD's breakfast tomorrow as that is what she wants, home made birthday cake for breakfast! I've wrapped her gifts with assistance from DP. Now I'm led on the sofa waiting for a friend to drop off a gift for DD while DP plays with my hair.
