What’s Happening In Your House?

[SunshineLollipopsAndRainbows]

In need of a soothing thread! Really going through it with DD14. I’ve had a day off work today so that’s been good. Ready meal defrosting for tea ( beef stew & dumplings) & will do peas with it. DH will have beans on toast or maybe an omelette as we have eggs going out of date. Lots of tv to catch up with as I keep falling asleep! Call The Midwife, Doctors, The Apprentice & Doc Martin Christmas Special. Treated myself to a lovely bouquet today (carnations, lilies, gerberas & a rose) & enjoying looking at them on the kitchen table.

We are on holiday! I’m drying my hair (well MN), kids are watching ceebies and DH is in the shower. Going for dinner and I will try out the AL cocktail menu while we watch the very child friendly entertainment.

I've just got back from picking DS up from Beavers. About to put him to bed while OH cooks a curry for us. Then I will be watching episode 2 of Happy Valley with a hot water bottle in bed!

Heading to buy groceries after some silly time with my 8yo who needs a lot of reassurance that we don't hate her after accidently hurting her younger sister.

Dd playing a few doors down.

I have the Harry interview on pause ready to watch when I stop messing about on here.

I'm sat having a wine, chilling for 30 mins. Packed lunch done. Tea done. Washing and drying done and away. I'm livi g the dream.

Oversaw by him.

DC - doing some sort of mixed media art thing/watching TV
DH - getting ready for work
Me - just had dinner. No plans other than potentially making time to eat some Christmas chocolates and whatsapping a friend about having a day out.

I’m trying to make myself like truffles as we sadly seem to have eaten rest of Christmas supply. Nutty ones ok. Prefer a crunchie though.
ds2 on ps with his lovely mate. Ds1 supposed to be revising! Hollow laugh
dh doing some work related thing and any minute now will come in hog the remote and then fall asleep with it clasped to his heart.
dkittens asleep. Thank god.

On train going home from work

Dd2 is in the shower.

Me and dd1 are sat in the kitchen listening to one of the most random playlists ever...she skips artists & genres quite bizzarrely sometimes & it's even worse on shuffle 🤣

Not sure who's showering next probably not me

When I have had my shower, I might spray some new perfume and start a new book - both birthday presents from the girls (the books are a series I suggested dd2 might enjoy so am fully expecting them to be pinched at some point)

Forgot obligatory pic__

Waiting for my DH and DD2 to come home with fish and chips. Totally unplanned but I am so looking forward to it. Bring on the chip butty.

Dd1 has just gone out to her works Christmas party.
Dh is cooking our dinner.
Ds is getting his football kit ready for tomorrow and then finishing his homework.
dd2 is in her room having her usual video chat with her friends she sees every day 😂
I’m sitting on my bed under the pretence of putting the washing away but really just sat on my arse MNing…

Ahh @ThatshallotBaby - I’m totally not a cat person but that photo is so cute with one of the with their arm over the other!

I am MNing whilst waiting for the potatoes we're having with dinner to crisp up.
DH is bathing DD.
DS1 & his girlfriend are asleep. Teenagers!
DS2 & DS3 are gaming.
Ddog is snoring on the floor by my feet.

Once we've had dinner, DD and I are doing to snuggle up and watch an episode of Wednesday. The boys don't want to join us so they will just shower and read/watch tv/game in their rooms. DH will watch with us, then when all the DC are in bed he and I will watch Only Connect.

Dinner is chicken, leek and mushroom pie with cripsy potato cubes and cabbage. Using up leftover chicken from the roast last night. No pudding as we only have it on Sundays, but there is plenty of leftover Christmas chocolate knocking around so I suspect they will find some of that later.

Just finished dinner of chicken and couscous salad.
Dd wants to bake a cake.
Ds1 is doing homework and ds2 is watching some gritty drug drama on Netflix (teenagers)
I'm about to go do some work admin that I'm so rubbish at and should have been done a while ago.

I’ve had a swim in the river this afternoon, walked puppy, mopped the floor and then had a shower, so just sitting in my onsie with wet hair.
My puppy is asleep. Dreaming as his eyes, ears and paw are twitching……
He wakes as soon as I move, so I’m trying not to breathe…….

My DH will be home in about 30 minutes, puppy will wake and all will be chaos!!

I’ve eaten and DH has requested leftovers from the other day.
It’s peaceful. I can hear the wind blowing and the hum of the heating and fridge…….

Thank you @TheChosenTwo
They are rescues, it’s been a journey

How long do you have left on your train.

DD back from school and happily playing with her New iPhone. I have been to the gym, cleaned my bedroom and bathroom.

DD will have an M &S ready meal for tea, I am having a noodle soup.

I'm listening to a programme on Radio 4 about the history of the shipping forecast and why we find it comforting. It's very peaceful here at present!

I’ve already had a shower and put pjs on. Dd is revising for a-level mocks starting tomorrow so I’m about to pop in and offer tea and chocolate.

Ds has football training later but dh is taking him. I’ll try and do some yoga with Adrienne and read another chapter of my book. Avoiding all things royal

DH is cooking some fancy salmon & Chinese flavoured rice dish, I didn't fancy that so have had a frozen M & S pizza ... plus two large glasses of wine, now napping on the sofa. DS home from Uni and has been working on the same essay for nearly three weeks . I need to finish my book for book club on Friday but will probably drift off soon ...

Watching Eastenders with DH while he answers endless work emails and tells me about each one 🙄
Ddog is laying on my feet keeping them nice and warm.
DD15 is reading in her room and DD12 is playing Fifa and talking to his mate on FaceTime (very loudly)
I am putting off doing the ironing as I don’t want to disturb Ddog 😀

I’ve been coughing a lot, and feeling miserable. I’m just had macaroni cheese as east comfort food, and I’ve watched Happy Valley episode two, which is so good.

DD doing uni work. DH in shower. Two cats sleeping. Nothing much I want to watch on TV tonight, but I'm on the last third of a good book, so will happily read between distractions.

I've been studying and applying for a different job. DH is putting the laundry away and getting the clothes ready for school tomorrow. DC are playing Roblox with each other on their phones.

Trying to get youngest child to sleep whilst other dc reading, I'm overdue pregnancy and feeling the pressure! Feeling miserable cannot wait for bedtime myself going to comfort on some chocolate which will probably be in about half hour- when all children are settled dp downstairs he actually made tea which was a bonus. I think he knows I'm not a happy bunny tonight 😅
