I'm just drinking my first cuppa, in silence, before I head up to make sure the girls are up.

We're off to a college open day for dd1, with one of her friends. She's 99% sure what she wants to apply for as a-levels but wants to go and speak to the tutors again.

Thankfully, the house is clean and tidy, and there are just 2 wash loads to do this weekend.

We'll probably nip to the big Asda for a wander of their home aisles on the way home, and maybe head round the lake to the shops there.

I have no idea what's for tea yet - I meant to make pizza dough last night, so we could pick up toppings today, but totally forgot about it. That said, it probably will be diy pizzas of some sort, and a glass of wine for me.

What about all of you? 🙂

I've only been up about an hour, recoving from a week of night shifts and feeling a bit under the weather. I have a mouthful of ulcers atm, about 6 of the bastards, which is making me feel pretty rotten (and hungry as I'm struggling to eat).

Ds is watching some minecraft videos on YouTube on the TV and is doing a great impression of being a potato after a pretty busy week for him.

I've had my second cup of coffee and now going to start tackling the war zone that is my house as basically no chores have been done all week due to aforementioned bastard night shifts.

Dm is visiting after lunch so I might even get most of it done. My adhd brain needs a real time limit like that, and I don't have a very big house. As long as I get downstairs done by lunch I'll be happy.

I can do upstairs Laterâ„¢, whenever that may be.

I would rather not do any of it. I am so so tired and really would like to go back to bed.

Good morning, I had a rugby night out last night, I’m still in bed as I’m very ‘unwell’. I need to pick my son up from his uncles house is an hour, then we need to head to the airport to pick up my husband and daughter, they spent the week visiting his Grandma in Sweden.

We have a home match today, so we’re going to support as I can’t play. We’re going to have a fairly lazy saturday as we’re all going to be a bit tired.

I enjoy these threads! I’ve been to my usual saturday 9-10 gym class, then dropped some charity bags off.
Home to washing and ironing. Children early teens, they're playing online with friends but it is a beautful day here today so hoping to get out in the sunshine at some point for a small walk. Need a couple of ingredients for tea so an excuse to walk to the local tesco express maybe.
Tea tonight is homemade butter chicken curry and saag paneer with samosas, garlic naan and rice. I enjoy pottering in the kitchen on a saturday early evening cooking with a glass of wine and the radio on.

That dinner sounds wonderful!

I finally decided what to have for dinner and had a freezer rummage so am cobbling stuff together save going the shop. It's a random mixture of ramen soup with gyoza for adults, fish fingers jackets and beans for dc

Afternoon now.. Tesco will be coming soon with my (sadly depleted) order.. will have to order from Asda too for all the missing items!
Other than that, nothing! Hopefully a nice restful day.

I'm on the Isle of Wight visiting my son. Went out for breakfast, yummy, but my son thinks 20 minutes is enough time for any meal so not the leisurely relaxing Saturday as I'd hoped! Then visited a farm shop, walked the dogs while he headed for the gym, and now about to head for ferry back to mainland. Dinner? Hmmmm....

Bluevelvetsofa · 15/10/2022 13:05

Decorating the kitchen, which is big. Takeaway tonight, I think.

I’ve got a broken wrist and had surgery on it on Wednesday evening, it’s hurting like a bastard at the minute so I’m trying to have a relaxing day but have managed to sort DS2’s toy box to gather stuff to take to the charity shop as he rarely plays with anything now…

DP has dropped and picked up DS1 from football training and is out with the dog now. Both boys have made their own lunch (and tidied up!) but I’m on a diet so couldn’t get them to make me a sandwich too. I’m sure DP will pull something together when he gets back but I’m not sure
what.

Boys are going to their dads late afternoon so we’re having Spanish chicken traybake and catching up on telly tonight, if I can stay out of bed long enough!

We are off to McDonald's for lunch today then a browse the pet shop I need bird seed and dc want to look at the animals.

Then home for homework etc and getting ready for the week. Roast chicken dinner with sprouts and calvero Nero, cake and custard for after.

Early night all round then bath kindle and gin for me 🙂
