What’s Happening In Your House?

Morning folks - how’s your Sunday shaping up so far? I have exciting plans to blitz the bathroom once DH has finished his “ ablutions”. The whole house needs decluttering. It gets me down sometimes. Plus I tend to get overwhelmed so end up doing nothing! Eventually we want to do quite a bit as everything had been done on the cheap by the previous owners. Can’t wait to replace the grotty carpets with laminate flooring for starters. DD’s room, the lounge & the hall already have it. Planning to see the Avatar movie in 3D this aft but my back isn’t brilliant today so will see how it goes. We’ve said to DD that we’d pick up McDonald’s on the way home so we’ll still get that either way. I’m trying to increase my steps & go for a daily walk. Also have letters to write & DD needs to do her Christmas thank yous.

I've hoovered downstairs, tidied the sitting room and made breakfast for ds.

His dad arrived a while back, so I've retreated back to bed with a coffee.

I'll have a bath, then I've got to patch ds's blazer elbows. Noticed on Thursday they're on the point of wearing through and new blazers are on three months order time. Sewing is not my greatest talent 🙄

I'll make some soup, maybe do a bit of gardening.

OP, I came past our local MaccyD's yesterday and the queue for the drive through was at least 50 cars long. 😮

Still in bed with cat and feeling a bit blue. No plans other than shopping at some point

SunshineLollipopsAndRainbows · 15/01/2023 13:17

Anyone else? Seems quiet on here today

Took daughter for swimming lesson, came back, bit of laundry and tidying and now I'm off to work until 10.30. Really don't want to go. Fed up working all week and every Sunday.

i’m home alone watching a horror film in bed with a hot chocolate and home made brownies. my two girls are out with my partner getting their nails painted and my two boys are out fishing with their grandad so i’ve actually got the house to myself for once (apart from the two dogs and cat who are sprawled across the bed with me!)

Hope your mood improves @Hedjwitch
I have been to the gym while dd & ds did a class/ the creche, now ds is sleeping and dd watching bluey with a picnic lunch. Going to practice her bike riding in the park once ds wakes up. Then home for homework & baths & prep for the week. Trying to think of something cheering to watch or listen to this evening (or failing that, something nice to eat 🤣)

Got up and did a hot yoga class and picked up some shopping on the way home. Dh rugby training with ds and dd on her phone beside me on the sofa with the 2 dogs. Had Camembert and sourdough baguette for lunch and put on a wash and hoovered a bit. Thinking of meatloaf, veg and mash for dinner later and dd is asking me to bring her out to get stationary supplies but think is just using it as an excuse to procrastinate studying.

Getting on for 10pm here.

Both adult DC are home and in their rooms watching telly. DH is packing his bag to go to work tomorrow (FIFO) the cat is on my feet and the dog is in with one of the DC. I should go to sleep as up at 3:30am to drop DH to the airport.

SweetPetrichor · 15/01/2023 13:51

Did a bit of dusting and tidied the utility room. Will clean the bathroom later, maybe. Right now I’m just relaxing on the sofa and DPs playing on the Xbox. I’ll get my turn to play when he does his housework! Typical quiet Sunday for us.

Quiet morning here. Off to visit my dad soon. Can't really be bothered though which sounds mean. It's depressing how quickly the weekends are going at the moment. I feel like I'm not getting any down time. I also feel a bit blue. I'm sure it's just the time of year & the weather is depressing here.

DH is going to work shortly. He's on lates. I'm prepping for a week at work (teacher) Had a decorator round to quote for kids bedrooms and hall this morning. Need to get saving! No holiday this year, house needs sorting. DS 9 playing on ps4. DD 11 faffing on her laptop, encouraging her to do a past SATS paper. DDog looks like he would like a walk.
