Happy New Year Mumsnet? What's everyone's plans for the day?

[lucysmam]

I'm just drinking my first cuppa of the day, in my spot in the kitchen. The window's open so I can hear the birds outside.

Plan for today is to take down the Christmas decs while the girls' dad is about to put them in the loft & then clean the downstairs of the house. It's not too bad so shouldn't take too long.

Depending how long it does take, I want to paint my nails this afternoon. I didn't get round to it yesterday & last weeks is starting to look scruffy. At the very least, I'll take that off.

I don't think the girls will be up for a while yet, or will want to do much when they do get up; they both stayed up later than me last night 🤣

Roast beef for Sunday dinner 😋with yorkshire puds, and a cauliflower-cheese. I'm really looking forward to it, rarely buy beef any more these days.

What about all of you? Any nice plans? 🙂

Sofa. Telly.

Still exhausted post COVID.. Getting as much rest as I can before work this week.

I will make something nice to eat this afternoon though. Thinking of a nice veggie pie 😋🥧

I’m working 11 to 7 today.

Happy new year to you and yours.
I'm currently lazing in bed. Later I'll be watching football then having a lovely roast dinner courtesy of my husband.

Happy New Year Lucysmam
Thanks for these lovely heart warming threads.

I am still in bed after a late night. Going to do some yoga soon then have brunch. I'm heading out for a walk, I'm trying to make it my Sunday morning routine. Then home for a late lunch/early dinner, the meat eaters have haggis and I have a bought veggie wreath thing that looks delicious. Might have cauliflower cheese with it now I've read it here.

Did some pampering of my feet yesterday and I might do the same for my face today later after a nice long soak in the bath.

I had my granddaughters over last night so going to take them out with my ds, sister and her son . Need to get out of the house as dh is asleep as he is on nights. Then later need to paint my nails and pack as booked a last minute break in the sun and go Tuesday morning, can't wait for a bit of sun

We had a party last night and have lots of extras staying over. I cleaned up downstairs last night when everyone went but need to sort upstairs.
So far everyone is still asleep. None of us got to bed before 2.30 so fair enough.
Dd1 got in at about 3.30.
So just be and the dog having a coffee in peace which just lovely.
Having lasagne for dinner which is already to go in the oven. Will venture out for a walk later.

Happy new year everyone

DH has gone birdwatching, DS is still in bed, i have just had a big bacon and egg sandwich and are contemplating what veg to prep for our lamb roast later.

I'm just having a cuppa then I'm off to the beach for the annual New Year's Day dip..! 🥶

Love your grounded threads @lucysmam , happy new year 🙂

I’m carrying on with a bit more decluttering and cleaning from yesterday. Love the fresh, clean feel of the beginning of January when all the Christmas clutter is cleared away. Might watch a bit more of Firefly Lane, start a new book and have a relaxing bath later.

I’m still in bed after not sleeping well last night from coughing so much (lingering virus), so will start by getting up and making a caramel latte and watching the London fireworks on iPlayer.

We’re going to a rugby event in a bit, we always play a mini tournament of friendlies on new years day, so that will take up most of the afternoon. My husband flies home today, so we’ll need to pick him up from the airport at fiveish I think.

No plans tonight, I don’t like to organise anything much in the days before school starts again.

I'm still in bed, have done some brain games on luminosity and watched firefly Lane.

Planning to do a little yoga, make Sunday roast (lamb cushion), play a board game and watch that Christmas Eve animation - the boy the fox and the mole. And maybe read a bit.

Not a lot for us today. Still all in pjs, kids having some screen time and I’m having a coffee. It’s pouring down here so a quiet day at home and something easy for tea, sausage and mash probably.

Happy new year!

I'm going to take my DM to the cemetery this morning to 'see' my grandparents. This evening I'm taking my DSis to lose her bingo virginity!

Just been to do the horses in the pouring rain. Decided riding wasn’t a good idea, so lunged instead. Got home half an ur ago and the sun is now shining!!
A bit of cleaning this morning, then off to the gym.

Happy New Year everyone! We are having a planned quietish morning, but have just been messaged to say family are calling in in 15mins for coffee! We stayed up til midnight last night but I was tired and didn’t even fancy a glass of fizzy at midnight, which is unusual for me 😂. It’ll be mostly a lazy day here, we don’t put the decorations away til tomorrow so I’ll just potter about sorting laundry and putting the last Christmas presents away I think. We’ll have pizza for dinner (NYD tradition) and watch a film this evening.

Staying in Pjs and boardgames with DH probably. Looking forward to the last 2 chill days before I'm back to work on Tues

Happy New Year @lucysmam and thank you for these threads. I love hearing about everyone’s plans!

DH and I both slept until 9 which is almost unheard of. DH is usually an early riser.

Just having a coffee and toast then I will be spending a large part of the day blitzing the kitchen. It looks like an absolute shit tip. Will go on a longish walk with DDog at some point. He’s very restless at the moment so needs a massive run about.

DH is continuing with work on the bathroom which he is refitting. I think it’s flooring today. He’s currently drawing up a diagram and doing measurements and, as always when DH does DIY, there is much swearing. Luckily he does a really good job!

DS is working 12-8 and DD is travelling home today from staying with friends for a few days.

We’ve got salmon for dinner and will probably watch whatever film comes after the Da Vinci code as we watched that last night.

Just had scrambled eggs and smoked salmon for breakfast, watching two green woodpeckers on the lawn, which feels like an auspicious start to the year. Bit of a hangover from a friend's very long party last night. Off in a minute to pick DC up from a party sleep over and to haul them out for a walk. Then home to prep a New Year's Day dinner for family. It's been a lovely start to the year so far.

Nice relaxing day she says. Just dropped the beef before I could get it in the slow cooker and my kitchen looked like a scene from a horror movie.
Just the four of us today , starting the new year clear up as well. So many empty wine bottles 😳

Going to eat my (substantial) weight in roast beef and Yorkshire pud with roast potatoes and cabbage... my favourite meal, before sitting on the sofa watching a film... don't know what yet, but will do the annoying thing my husband does and surf through ALL the streaming platforms to find one... which will turn out to be the first one I looked at. 😄😄😄 its a tradition!

Love these threads!
Having a chill day today - got a bit of ironing to do for the work week ahead, and some other bits and bobs to sort post Christmas.
Might possibly start taking the Xmas decorations down, then either a walk or a swim.
I cooked a whole salmon the other day and we've still got half of it leftover so salmon spaghetti for dinner and the last of the Christmas pudding! Have a lovely day

Just eating French toast. Walked the dogs after midnight last night so got a bit of a sleep in today. I've put the dishwasher on and need quite a bit of tidying/cleaning after a lax week as I've visitors coming tomorrow who will want a full tour. Ugh that means I need to tidy the garden too!
My daughter will carry on with her History snd Art A level work...

I’ve just got up after lazing in bed for a few hours, I woke up just after 7 but it’s my first day off since Christmas Day so I just dozed for a while.
I am now having granola and a glass of orange juice. Dp has been up for a couple of hours and is chilling and watching Netflix. Both kids are still sleeping and probably will for another hour or two yet.
My plans for today are to put away my Christmas presents that are still all in bags on top of the wardrobe, have a tidy up and make minted lamb stew for tea.
I should make a start on some uni work, it’s my final year and I have 2 assignments due the same day in a few weeks. I also have a big job interview coming up in 2 weeks off the back of my degree that I need to start prepping for so might make a start on that.
Apart from that I was thinking of starting up running again since it’s the new year but it’s raining here so might see if the kids want to play a couple of the new board games they got for Christmas later this afternoon and go for a mental run in my mind 😂

Still in bed! When I finish this cuppa I will shower and walk the dog. DH will hopefully finish building drawers. When our girls come back later from different functions we will all eat a roast dinner.

Morning and happy New year @lucysmam 🎊

We are having a quiet day here, Im catching up on laundry and taking some decorations down so it's not a mad rush before school starts again etc.

Also hoping for a lovely soak in the bath this morning.

Hopefully a walk this afternoon just for half an hour or so give the DC some fresh air.

Roast dinner with venison sausages for dinner tonight although I forgot to buy Yorkshire's. Our oven is rubbish so any homemade attempts don't rise ☹️

Have a lovely day all!
