How’s Your Saturday Going?

Worked a 6 hour shift which was very busy but good as I had some lovely customers. Home for lunch & watched a bit of “ Don’t Worry Darling” with DD then we went to Asda. Planned to get over the counter pizzas but there was a 40 minute wait ( why they can’t make them up when you ask like they used to is beyond me!) so I got curries instead. We like the Asda ones as they’re quite generous portions. I got a bottle of Viognier that was recommended on Saturday Kitchen which is going down rather well! Less than a fiver too!
Not sure what we’re watching tonight. We have a movie channel which DD discovered - it’s initially free then you pay a nominal amount. The trouble is DH & I are both pretty tired by Sat night so would run out of steam during a film. Might catch up with Greys Anatomy which we’re both enjoying.

Pretty good - boys all did footy this morning and then we came home for lunch. DC2 went to a friends for the afternoon, I did some bits and pieces at home. At 4 ish I took the other DCs and the dog to the beach for a run around and a swim. All home and cosy now, all had baths and showers. DC1 is cooking fish and chips for tea. I am in bed with the electric blanket on! 😁

TheLightSideOfTheMoon · 29/10/2022 19:09

I watched Scream 2 and wrapped all of my Christmas presents. (I get anxious, I need to know it’s done.)

Had a lazy morning, then decided to book us (me, DH and DC age 12) last minute tickets to the matinee at the local theatre.
Had an early lunch, then headed to town where we popped to see the temporary exhibition in the museum (trainers...!), had a quick drink in a new bar, watched the show, then headed home (via shop to get some chocolate for later tonight!).
DH cooked dinner and we're all now about to snuggle up on the sofa and watch a bit of TV with the chocolate.
Probably all be in bed by 9.... Bliss!!

BluOcty · 29/10/2022 20:02

I did DIY, yay me! I've also had curry and a movie Grin

StealingYourWiFi · 29/10/2022 20:04

I worked 8 hours, home by 2pm. We took the dog into London for a mooch and saw some Dia De Los Muertos celebrations which was nice. Got a bagel and some donuts and ate them watching strictly. Lovely. Will probably have an early night as had a busy week at work.

Shallysally · 29/10/2022 20:07

Bought new doors, light for the living room and tickets for DP’s Christmas gift. Just had pasta for tea.
Am child free tonight so going to watch a film and early night, rock and roll!

TheRookie · 29/10/2022 20:21

Been to my folks house with the kids this morning, then took one of the kids to a birthday party at soft play, it was chaos!! Back to my parents to collect the baby and then home for quick tea for us all, kids bathed and in bed and I've had a lovely chicken salad with nice bread, and not watching strictly with wine and crisps 👌🏻 DH is at work, 12 hour shift so won't be home until after 11pm.

TheChosenTwo · 29/10/2022 20:22

Lovely thanks!
Bit of a lie in, cooked a nice breakfast for me, dh and dc3. Dh took him out for a couple of hours to do a few things, I sorted some washing and read my book for a bit. Then dc2 came back home from visiting dc1 at uni for a few days and we are about to have some lamb and halloumi pittas.
The fire is going, I’m sitting by it having a drink.
Tomorrow dd2 is working and then going to a gig, I have proposed me dh and dc3
go out somewhere for a walk and a pub dinner!
Back to work and school on Monday.

Ohmygoshposh · 29/10/2022 20:46

Fine thanks. Went cycling with a pal this morning.
Home for lunch. DH & DC got back from swimming.
Bit of gardening / pumpkin carving this afternoon.
DC (4yo) was an absolute terror at bedtime though!!

newtb · 29/10/2022 20:55

Bit crap, think my clutch is going and I have a nearly 200 mile drive to do Monday. To make matters worse I've decided to change the car.

Bunnycat101 · 29/10/2022 21:21

Nice week but crap weekend. Have spent most of it looking after sick 3yo including a long round trip to out of hours. We were supposed to go pumpkin picking so my eldest has been moaning at missing out (husband was away so couldn’t take her) on that and swimming. Had to bribe 3yo with chocolate to take vile medicine after a stressful standoff. Hoping she’ll sleep as I think I’m now going down with her lurgy and I’m v grumpy and tired.

I’m dreading winter and illnesses. We had so many plans cancelled last winter and I don’t think I slept through the night from November to March as youngest was just so unsettled with constant sickness. Feels like the start of more to come…

FlowerBrooch · 29/10/2022 21:43

Sorted laundry
Ate lunch at home with DS and his GF who then went back to hers
Hours walk with DH
We compared calendars to match up stuff
Watched two episodes of The Watcher
Fishcakes for dinner and made chocolate puddings in mugs in microwave for first time, it was too easy and I’m worrying about my arse expanding as so nice and quick
DH popped out to buy stuff for his experiments in the lab at work
About to watch last episode of The Watcher

SideshowAuntSallly · 29/10/2022 23:18

It's my birthday but I've had a quiet day, spent a fortune on new underwear, had lunch with my mother and then went to see a friend with another friend, now catching up on Bake Off. I go away with work on Monday for 4 days so having a quiet weekend as there will be lots of alcohol consumed and late nights.

HelloVeritas · 29/10/2022 23:22

Flu jab first thing then Rug Doctored the entire upstairs - back now officially wrecked.

Then made 2 Dundee Cakes (both gifts, one for a housewarming the other a birthday).

Spent the evening watching Strictly then West Wing and drinking port also supposed to be a gift whoops!

Benjaminsniddlegrass · 29/10/2022 23:22

I went for a 5km run and then did boxing workout with DH in the garden. Went to the cinema to watch Black Adam with DH and DD6 which was silly but fun, either side of that I did work in preparation for Ofsted inspection. Made marshmallow ghosts for a Halloween party tomorrow and a lentil dhal for tea. DD6 watched strictly whilst I did some work with a G&T. I then dozed on the sofa whilst my DH watched The Old Man (very good btw just pooped!) Off to bed now....
