Good Morning All! What's everyone up to today?

[lucysmam]

I've just made my first cup of tea of the day & am enjoying the quiet while I drink it & have a virtual wander round the Internet.

I have loads I want to get done today; I've brought the washing basket and ironing down with me, but first tea ☕️

I need to do a few repairs and hem some curtains, make a prototype for my Rainbows activity this week, and check my Christmas list against what's in the box.

There's some other bits too but dd2 wants to try making hot chocolate stirrers and sugar mice, so we might not get to them.

I'll see if the girls' dad will nip to Asda or Lidl for me -he'll only buy what I ask for whereas I usually wind up with several munchy items from the bakery/sweet aisles 🙄

We're having pork loin steaks for tea, probably with some salad bits and garlicky potatoes 😋

What about all of you? 🙂

Morning! We've already been out with the dog and filled up the bird feeder in our allotment, caught the neighbouring plots escaped chicken and put her back, and now we're having breakfast.
Got to go to buy more bird seed shortly! Then this afternoon I've rented a Rug Doctor so I'm going to do the carpets. I might have leftover curry for tea or I might get McDonald's, I haven't had one in years and I fancy the chicken crispy thing they're doing.

Gardening 👩‍🌾
pop to mil as she’s been v poorly
i have housework to do and at some stage I need laundromat as had a burst pipe under floor and utility has been hacked up to dry, don’t realise how these things are taken for granted
as for dinner, who knows lol

We have a huge bonfire to burn, after a lot of gardening recently. Also, teen son has asked to go and see the new Marvel film, so taking him and a friend to the cinema this afternoon. Maybe take the younger one bowling while they're in there. And a big clean up of the hall. I lost count of the amount of shoes on the floor yesterday because people are too hazy to put them in the cupboard!

Its my last day of my holiday, back to work tomorrow 🙁 my dh is away climbing a munro and my ds is being picked up at 11am by his gran and grandad so I will pop to visit my mum for a while. Other than that I need to hoover, clean out the budgies and get uniform ready for work and school tomorrow. Also need to top up the bird feeders in the garden aswell. Curry for tea and a glass of wine

I've just about managed to feed the cats and let the dogs out back so far! I'm waiting for a Ocado delivery- they were late yesterday and I had to leave for daughter's music exam.
Yesterday was full on so today I am doing nothing other than walking dogs and putting some washing on. Two Christmas issues of my regular magazines have arrived so will enjoy looking through those, I'll make some pumpkin soup and just potter around.

Church isn’t until 10.45 because it’s Remembrance Day, and we’re singing/bell-ringing. So heading out for dog walk now, then to church.
Quick lunch before planting MORE bulbs (must stop buying them…) and possibly a final lawn mow. To Granny’s at about 4.30 for Roast Chicken and posh ice cream.

Morning! Taking eldest to an SEN play scheme soon, then spending some one on one time with DD2 whilst DH goes on a bike ride. Walk after lunch with friends before collecting DD1. Making a fish pie for tea and baking some stuff for lunchboxes while oven is on then girls and I settling down for Strictly results. Have a good day all.

Good mornings mumsnet! ☕️

Right now I'm admiring this little snowman I made last night. Going to make some toadstools later to go with him. Have to pop out to Lidl later to buy stuff for chicken soup as both the dc are coming down with colds. Lots of housework to do but I'll probably just do the bare minimum 😁

Morning!

It is my birthday but unfortunately DS is unwell so our plans have been cancelled. DH has cinnamon whirls and chocolate croissants in the oven for me for breakfast though. Need to have a think what I want for dinner as we were meant to have Sunday lunch out. Hopefully I can fit in plenty of cross stitching :)

So cute property!

Just having a sausage sandwich and coffee.
Then off for a walk down the canal with the camera

got to get the DCs out of the house as the bugs have hit us hard this week. So watching DF parade this morning for remembrance and then a trip to the beach. Although DS 3 has woken all chesty 😵‍💫

Morning.

We are a bit slow today after a busy day yesterday and friends over for dinner last night. Although to be honest I’m pretty slow every day!

Dishwasher went on at 7.30 and there is at least one more load to do before kitchen is back to normal. House still smells of roast lamb so need to open some windows.

I need to have a quick shower and get dressed and take the dog out for a walk.

DH is planning on cutting the back lawn this afternoon and I will do some tidying of stuff on the patio that needs to go away. May also plant some bulbs.

May soak the fruit for my Christmas cake too. And I’d like a bit of time to read a Christmas magazine.

lamb curry with leftover lamb from last night for dinner. And wine.

Morning!

Sounds like you have plenty on today OP!

We're going to the local meat place that's started opening on Sundays to see if it's any good and hopefully get some stuff for the freezer. I need to sort the school uniforms out and I need to bath the dog, he's the only one left to do but at nearly 60kg I don't fancy lifting him into the bath paw by paw while he refuses to budge and inch

Good morning!
Dh just very kindly brought me a cup of coffee in bed so I'm drinking that and having a browse on here.
Going to watch ds2 play rugby this morning.
This afternoon Dh and I might go for a walk and I have some school prep to get on with.
Roast chicken for dinner, but ds1 is working 12-8 so we won't all be able to eat together, which I'm not too keen on for a Sunday.

Morning.

im enjoying a quiet coffee in bed watching the crown. I’ve just let the dogs out and both are asleep again.

the house is an utter shit tip but I don’t care. First time I’ve relaxed in weeks.

got to buy school shoes and go shopping later

Still in bed. Will go to Rembrance at 11. Visit mum. Thats about it unless I can be bothered to pot on some seedlings which werent supposed to germinate until next year!

am finishing second cup of coffee and going for 45 minutes run (doing a 5k to 10k atm). Then planning to clean rest of living room and put up Christmas tree 🎄stupid husband won’t help take down Christmas decorations which are all in the awkward places so that will be fun. Have a Christmas jigsaw too out and planning wine later.

Need to nip to Asda when it opens for a couple of things, then over to my mums for a Sunday roast this afternoon. Will come back and chill on the sofa for a bit until DD goes to bed, then DH and I will eat chocolates and play Mario Kart on the switch!

Morning

Im pretty sure I was on your thread yesterday @lucysmam

Today I’m going to finish all the bits I didn’t do yesterday before some friends come over for lunch

Lunch is going to be a roast chicken…

I was debating on raking up the leaves but read somewhere that Queen Bees live in them so it best to leave them not 100 certain on this but saves me a job 😂

Going to make a loaf of bread

then chill with the kids tonight and watch a film

Morning all, we are going to have a indoor day because ds2 has yet another cold and is not feeling too well. We usually go to church and then soft play/park on a Sunday. I dislike being in all day so going to keep myself busy and get all the housework/ironing done and then try and get into a book.

Morning! Love the little snowman, @Propertyporn !

Heading out shortly to get my boobs squeezed in Morrisons car park (mammogram, not random encounter). Then over to SIL’s
for lunch - looking forward to seeing everyone and cuddling their gorgeous rabbits.
Supper will be leftover curry, then desperately need to fill in some forms I’ve been putting off for days. Before we know it, it’ll be bedtime and the week starts again!

I'm enjoying a quiet coffee after my lie-in. DH has taken both the DCs to rugby.

After I shower I'm going to finish a technical assignment for my master's course and then some friends are coming over for a roast with kids and dog. (DH cooks it.)

Happy birthday @DreamingofItaly2023 !

It's FINALLY a dry day so going to sweep the mulch-fest of leaves that's surrounding my back door.
Might hoover the car.
Family coming over for an hour.
Might do a pre Xmas decoration deep clean of the living room (not putting them up until Dec don't worry).
Bought some bulbs for spring so I should plant those while it's dry...
