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

[lucysmam]

I'm just drinking my first cuppa, in silence, & watching the breeze in the big sycamore at the end of my garden. Love being first up & my quiet start to the day.

The washer's on, and there are 2 more loads to be done but I don't think I'll do them today - towels and tea towels, they can probably wait til tomorrow. Uniforms all got done last night & are almost dry.

Me and dd1 are off to The Fillers gig in Sheffield later so I'm sure she'll be getting up soon to shower/shave/stick false lashes/dither about what to wear 🤣 She's very excited!

Dd2's going out for dinner with their dad, I think they'd decided on Cosmo, so she will probably do the same as dd1 🤷‍♀️

Dd1 wants to leave about 1:30 so we can eat in Sheffield so I plan to get myself dressed shortly & spend the day sketching my next set of story spoons before we leave.

What about all of you? 🙂

Haha, your DD is welcome any time - bit of a long journey though 😂

I'd planned to plant 500 bulbs in the garden but it's pouring with rain, so bumbling I suppose. Perhaps it will stop. Finish the hoovering?

I'll make spanish squid stew, persuade ds to do his homework, maybe order a xmas present or two. Practice my kata and kimote.

DDs playing her first Rugby cup match today, she has to play in a cluster team as there aren't enough girls in the local teams to make up full age group teams so they band together. It's pouring with rain but I'm sure she'll have a great time.

Today I am sofa shopping. DH and I bought a sofa this time last year and were promised a quick delivery which all fell through. Then the stroke happened and our living room became his bedroom so I had to cancel it all together. So today I am going sofa shopping, it should be simple but it is painful. My lovely daughter and son-in-law are coming too because I don't want to do it alone.

Sunny day here
