I really enjoy these threads and haven't seen a recent one so thought I'd make one. So, in my house
DH is on his PlayStation
DD18 is at work
DD15 on a sleepover
DD7 playing in her room
I'm currently upstairs in my pjs having a declutter and clean of my bedroom whilst listening to next doors teenage daughter blasting music through the wall
What's going on in your house?

Youngest is at a party at gravity with Dh.

Oldest and I are making buns to eat later whilst we watch kids bake off.

I’ve had a lovely bath, washed and dried my hair and I’m planning on finishing my book this afternoon and watch some more of the Marvel films this evening with Dh.

I'm sat on sofa on here.

DD16 is upstairs getting ready to go to a party tonight.

Husband and son are out at the football.

leithreas · 21/01/2023 15:53

I'm working from the couch doing really boring business admin with the 2 dogs stuck to me.

Dh is working upstairs.

Teen ds is in his room studying for his mocks.

Teen dd is in the kitchen making a cookie cake.

Mumsanetta · 21/01/2023 15:55

I’m in bed with my laptop, working (lawyer), and DD4 and DH are downstairs watching Frozen under a blanket. Feeling very jealous of them but the work has to be done and gives us all a nice life.

Mommabear20 · 21/01/2023 15:56

DD(8weeks) is snoring in her Moses basket next to me, DS(18 months) is happily playing with his cars on the living room floor in front of me, and me and DD(2.5years) are snuggled under a fleecy blanket on the sofa watching Pinocchio 🥰 DH is at work, and the 2 DDogs are snoozing in the kitchen.

Idroppedthescrewinthetuna · 21/01/2023 15:56

DP is in kitchen preparing a Lardy Cake and cooking up a chinese meal for us.

DD15 is upstairs doing biology homework

DD9 is on sofa poorly, watching tv.

DD6 has just finished playing and is now colouring in.

I am having a quick coffee before I vacuum and clean bathrooms.

OriGanOver · 21/01/2023 15:58

Dd is out at a sleepover
Ds is getting ready to go to the cinema.
I'm hungover and on the sofa but have got up and cleaned.

Dishwasher is on.

I need to get up and get the clothes out of the washing machine.

AdoraBell · 21/01/2023 16:00

Dog sleeping on the sofa because we’ve out.

We’ll be home in a few minutes, oven on for dinner, I’ll make granola and DH will probably collapse in a chair. He had a full business trip, 18 hour days, this week.

pleasejustgotosleep · 21/01/2023 16:02

Oh I love these threads.
DS11 in the front room watching YouTube clips
DD2 is curled up next to me on the bed. She's watching YouTube kids and I'm watching the film Locked Down on Amazon Prime. Thinking what to make for dinner too.

Biffsboys · 21/01/2023 16:03

3 under 3 plus two dogs and all under control. I hope your cape is made of silk.

I’m trying to tidy my sewing room (a losing battle). DH is sitting on the sofa watching woodworking videos on youtube, DD13 is in her room playing music and getting eyeshadow everywhere and the 3 DCats (a fancy indoor breed) are bedded down in one of the bathrooms as we’re all waiting for a couple of removal men to come and shift some really big furniture around between the rooms.

HerRoyalNotness · 21/01/2023 16:59

DD doing ‘experiments’ while we’re waiting to leave for back2back parties.
h and DS2 just finished watching football and H is now dadsplaining something
Ds1 haven’t seen him yet, most likely in bed
me, was cleaning up photo files, now just waiting until it’s time to go

Bluevelvetsofa · 21/01/2023 17:01

DH made smashed avocado and poached egg on toast for brunch, then we had a walk along the prom.

Vacuuming done, bathrooms done. Washing was paused when we went out, so that’s resumed now. Bedding has been changed and we’ve been scrolling round Netflix etc to find something to watch later. I’ll sort out the washing shortly.

DH is having something from the freezer tonight and I’m having a jacket potato with beans and cheese, but that won’t be for a couple of hours. DH cooks and I’ll be knitting.

sweatyannie · 21/01/2023 17:22

Just ordered a take away delivery for me and DS before he heads back to Uni tomorrow.

Curled up under a heated throw.

Zorrita · 21/01/2023 17:23

DH also on the playstation
Me on MN
DS3 (one year old) bumbling and playing
DD and DS at their fathers house (all three of whom are texting me intermittently)

..... nevermind the one year old has escaped to the hallway Grin

Franticbutterfly · 21/01/2023 18:52

I'm watching tv, kids are on the Switch, husband is in the shower after just finishing exercising. When the dough I've made has risen, I will make 4 pizzas.

Justonedayatatime11 · 21/01/2023 19:12

DD is doing practice SATs papers in her room (only 2 years too early) DH is faffing on his iPad, I'm MNetting on the bed. Have been out for a lovely walk on the beach and fish and chips so none of us are hungry. Will rewatch a couple of episodes of Wednesday with DD in a bit and then an early night. Feeling relaxed for the first time in a very long time. Was nice to get out and get some fresh air!

creamwitheverything · 21/01/2023 22:21

I am here and scrolling through! am just going to do dhs sandwiches which I never do really but he is half asleep on sofa watching some god awful 1958 cowboy film with one eye shut and hes off to work at 4,30am. My dd 11 is texting her friends in bed on the Guides whatsapp group, I shall make this pack up and go and have a lovely bath then head off to bed.

Mommabear20 · 22/01/2023 13:06

@Mumsanetta why the need to try and make someone feel bad because they're having a good day? It is possible to have all 5 behaving at once! I'm not saying it happens all the time, but at the moment I posted, that's what was happening 🤷‍♀️

We are watching football (come on you Wolves!), drinking tea and eating cake. I am living my very best life

FangedFrisbee · 22/01/2023 14:36

Hungover to shit watching the west wing in bed with DH who is also hungover. Ordered some greasy loaded fries to be delivered

TheChosenTwo · 22/01/2023 14:40

Waiting for others in the house to get bundled up for a walk to the pub!
