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

[lucysmam]

I'm just drinking my first cuppa, but, instead of sitting in my spot in the kitchen, I've brought it back to bed so I can wrap the last few presents for the girls while they're still sleeping.

I need to wash the oven pride off the oven racks, clean the cooker top, and ice my dad's Christmas cake, today.

The girls are going to tidy & hoover their rooms. Tbf, they're not too bad. Dd1 wants to make some more mince pies too - I've told her to do them before Saturday because she takes up the WHOLE kitchen doing one little job 🤣

We'll see what else gets done later.

I have no idea what's for tea yet, so had better look at some point 🤷‍♀️

Tonight will be mostly relaxing in front of the tv & making sure everything's done (I'm 99% sure it is but just checking my many lists to be certain!)

What about all of you? 🎁

I’m coughing with some horrid virus so going to try to have a chilled day. Still got some Christmas shopping to do so will venture out for a bit later. Also have a cake to ice but don’t want to cough on it so will leave for today. Probably got an hour or two until teens emerge so might wrap a couple of presents. All my bathrooms need a clean as well.

Working. From home though as got a horrible coughing illness.

On my 3rd cuppa of the morning. Dd7 has not long got up and we're pottering about in our pjs. Dd18 is in bed, dd15 is at my mums and dh is at work.
I'm waiting for parcels today so can't venture out until they've been, the whole house needs a good clean so I'll do that while waiting for parcels. No idea what's for tea so will need to sort that at some point too

We’re abroad so just had a buffet breakfast, visit to the hotel playroom, we’re going to a museum and then maybe a final Christmas market before we fly home tomorrow ☺️☺️

DD woke up with conjunctivitis though so not all fun and games!

Ds is in school until Thursday, other ds is back from uni and gone to work. I am wfh and moving Christmas presents around and trying to wrap stuff. Will do some actual work after a coffee!

First day of the holidays -bliss (I’m a TA).

Spare room and bedding to organise for our Xmas guests.

Going to try to do the stuff I had planned to do yesterday😫 having a fibromyalgia flare up.pisser😫had a bath, breakfast and now got to call life assurance company that have ballsed up payments😫could do with doing some tidying and deciding what I am going to have for Christmas dinner. Onli me,shall I cook a full meal or pig out on cheese and crackers? First world problems 😫

Going for a run
Collecting a prescription
Wrapping some presents
Meeting a friend for drink

Was going to spend the day cleaning and changing beds etc but I came back from a weekend with elderly aunt to find dh and ds had done it!

Swapping between bed and the sofa. Me and DD are really unwell. Coughing, sore, throat, fever, headache.

I had plans for today - basically a slightly deeper clean/tidy than usual ready for Christmas. WFH a little bit (it’s my day off, fortunately, but I like to chip away at projects).

I’m gutted. Her first (and only as she’s in Y2) Nativity is tonight and tomorrow. She can’t go. Nor can I.

Cup of tea in bed after feeding litter of pups. Venturing out later to do Christmas food shop.

I've had three cups of tea to try and stop the coughing fits. About to wake up DS1 as he's got college. Then laundry and rescaling the shower. Rock and roll.

Need to get out of bed (was out last night so not feeling the best) and start my deep clean of the whole house. We are extremely busy this rest of this week visiting friends and doing Christmas activities, so this is the only day I have to get bedding washed, tumble dried and put back on ready for Father Christmas. Once finished I will make something quick and easy for dinner and relax. I also need to put the finishing touches on the already wrapped presents at some point too.

I’m Ill too and had to cancel on a friend in need today, so feeling rubbish. Waiting on call back from doctors as I’m pretty sure I’ve got pneumonia again.
roll on the new year and some health for me!

Procrastinating right now although I have written my todo list.

Tidy up
washing away
write cards/last few presents
Do some work

I'm in bed with a cup of tea, contemplating the day.

Was meant to be going for a long ( boozy probably) lunch with friends but have decided to give it a miss due to finances and also my MH has been shoddy recently and I'm not feeling great.

OH is WFH.. might try and drag the kids out for a walk later but the weather is crap.

Got some presents to wrap later.

Anyone else feeling a bit flat mentally right niw?

Presents almost wrapped - there are 3 shared ones to go but I'm almost certain dd2's up and listening to me wrap so will do those and start on birthday wrapping tomorrow morning.

Next up; get dressed, wash up then ice the cake. Might wrap for my dad with the girls later actually, just in case he decides today is the day for his Christmas visit 🤣

Hi @lucysmam love your thread,wishing you all the very best with your treatment.

Up early this morning,me and DH split the chores then took DS2 to collect his new glasses.

I am just waiting on DH and we are off out for a walk in the town and booked into a new burger place for a meal and some cocktails.

Will probably let the kids have a takeaway later so I don't have to cook.

DS2 is revising for GCSE'S and DS1 is still in bed after a heavy night out with his mates after his return from uni.

Funny how the weather can really lift your spirits.
