Good Morning All! What's everyone doing today?

I'm just enjoying my first cuppa of the day, in my spot, in the kitchen. I've got the window open & can hear lots of little birds, and there's a wood pigeon cooing away to himself in the sycamore at the bottom of the garden.

I'm going to iron the girls' school shirts so they're done, and wash the few pots there are, in a bit. Might put a wash load in as well when I've had a look in the basket.

I need a few bits from little Asda too, to make meals out of what's already in, so will walk down with dd1 (and maybe dd2 if she can be arsed).

This afternoon I plan to carry on crochet Supertato, and hopefully finish him. I'll see if the girls have homework, and suggest that dd1 might want to do some revision for her upcoming mock GCSEs.

Roast chicken dinner, for tea. Maybe followed by fruit and ice cream. The fridge is chock-full of fruit to last the week after yesterday's visit to the market 😋

What about all of you? 🙂

Morning! I just had toast and a coffee, DH is watching a programme and DS is quietly playing with toys. DH is going to get a roast dinner on soon as we're having an early one today.

I need to get some washing done but with it being half term today feels more relaxed than usual! I might read my book in front of the fire this afternoon and suggest we watch a film this evening.

A rare day with absolutely nothing planned ... bliss! I will go for a shortish walk this morning and can combine it with some admin for a volunteering role .. then whilst DH is out at golf will have an afternoon on the sofa with a couple of books. Doing one load of washing and changing the bed is the only housework planned for the day. Spanish pork casserole in the slow cooker for dinner ... watching Vera tonight. A nice quiet day after having spent a few days with my elderly mum this week she talks non stop Grin.

Wow your day of nothing planned is still very productive! I'm going to get a walk out and some cleaning done when I can drag myself away from mumsnet bed.

Good morning everyone 😊
I'm having a coffee at the kitchen table. DC are playing with some toys I picked up off facebook marketplace last night, so they're happy and I can listen to the radio in peace.
DH is just getting dressed and then we are all going out to the garden- we need to sweep up some chippings to make room for the new plants and trim the hedge out the front.
Then DH is going to work, I might take the DC out after lunch but depends on the weather. Might do some baking. They've broken up for half term and we have a busy week so I'm not fussed about them having a lazy day.
No cleaning to do as I did it yesterday, which feels lovely.
Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Starting to mark 66 exam papers ... can't enjoy half term till complete. Think about 25 hours of work. Hey Ho this is why I'm paid the big bucks Confused

Morning everyone! Having my third coffee and wondering how much longer I can leave the dc on their devices before it becomes child neglect.

Cleaning and organising day today. I've got a shitload of stuff for Ebay, cupboards to clean and sort, clothes to bag up for charity, and a filthy car to clean. I'll probably get some of it done 😁

I’m currently on holiday. We arrived in Spain yesterday, it is really cold! Off for a walk soon and have a roast dinner booked at our favourite place. Have a lovely day everyone.

Good morning everyone!
So far I have tidied the kitchen, cleaned out the fridge, thrown out a number of almost empty jars 🙄, put the joint in the slow cooker, peeled the potatoes and made a plum crumble.
DH is supposed to be walking DDog, if he doesn’t get a move on I will take her as she’s agitating to go, the garden’s not good enough!
In a minute I will sort the ironing then late morning someone’s coming to look at building me a new patio 🤞🏻; DH said he’ll do it but I can’t face the huffing and puffing and it taking months.
This afternoon I will do some more knitting and listen to a podcast.
I hope you all have a lovely day x

Morning @lucysmam ,im enjoying the peace and quiet, can hear the birds singing too. Its lovely.

Cullenskink · 12/02/2023 10:25

Sat cuddling wee ones with a cup of tea, there’s a load of washing on, the dog is asleep at my feet and the cat asleep on my lap. Later it’s a walk on the beach then martial arts class for DD and a quick shop whilst I wait.
Dinner is steak, our anniversary meal, and I can’t wait.

pursudebyablackdog · 12/02/2023 10:26

Procrastinating reading mumsnet with cup of coffee, but the laundry and other chores await....I really should clear out the fridge which is currently spawning it's own unique lifeforms!

popandchoc · 12/02/2023 10:28

Just at park with DD2 so she can ride her bike and get some fresh air .
rest of the day will be quite chilled but need to sort a few things out .

bluetongue · 12/02/2023 10:32

I’m in Bologna in holiday.

With my skinny jeans and white Adidas sneakers I’m actually managing to pass as Italian about half the time which I’m pretty proud of 😁

Cold but lovely blue skies here.

bluetongue · 12/02/2023 10:34

Forgot to add that after three weeks in Italy I’ve put on a couple of kilos. Oh well, I’ll worry about it when I get home …

My 14 year old son and I are off up a volcano in Tenerife to look at stars through a telescope. It's only overdue an eruption by about 20 years so should be fine.😃
