What’s Happening In Your House?

[RabbitsRock]

Just lost the morning yet I was up around 6.30! Really don’t know where the time has gone. I should be prepping veg for a roast but instead am scrolling through MN & Facebook. We’re having chicken, Aunt Bessie’s stuffing balls, roast spuds/carrots, broccoli & if I can be bothered homemade bread sauce. I have double cream ready for it yummy!
Had yet another argument with DD14 earlier; unfortunately her girlfriend heard a lot of it as they were on call so I texted her to say sorry she had to hear that. I am always determined I’m not going to bite & I’m managing it more & more often but today I ended up yelling. She knows exactly how to get a reaction! It doesn’t help that I’m still not 100% after Covid & think I also have an infection. Not sleeping brilliantly either 😢
DH is cleaning out the rabbits as he does every Sunday & will fill in a hole by one of the hutches - 2 of our bunnies got out yesterday but thank goodness the back garden is completely secured! He’s going for a bike ride late afternoon. We might watch “Fisherman’s Friends” as a colleague lent me the DVD a few weeks back. I need to advertise DD’s school uniform.

Technically I'm playing Minecraft with Ds2 and dh but obviously since I'm doomscrolling on mumsnet that isn't happening 🙄.

I'm waiting for the towels to finish in the machine, then I have to make myself go outside where its hot and hang them up.

I'm liking the cats attitude right now which is upside down and flaked out.

DH has decreed we should have Dominoes for dinner so no cooking for any of us. Win.

Youngest DS gone swimming with his dad now. Eldest DS studying in his room. (GCSE exams)

I’ve been up since about 7.30. No one else was up except me and the cat. I woke up because the alarm went off or else no one was going to wake me up and no plans today. Easy day. I fed the cat, played with him. Got washing out put washing in. Walked around bare feet in the garden. Had a coffee. Drank lots of water before that.

Ds 1 got up by himself and made himself breakfast. And offered to make me a coffee so I had another coffee and he made himself one and has a tiny sip! (He can’t handle coffee lol but wants to be a big player hahaha)

Talked to him about summer jobs and exams and how glorious it was last night. We were in the garden till after midnight on the hammock and sun-lounger. Both dcs had said it felt like being on holiday or in another country the air was so lovely and warm. The cat had caught a mouse or a frog in the garden around midnight we couldn’t tell with the minimal light, so we looked for it in the garden. Found nothing.

I have blocked a lot of people from my life so these mundane drama free days are amazing to me.

We're chilling after camping. The washing machine is on and Minecraft is echoing through the house.

In an hour we have to collect the click & collect food shop. And pick up an office chair via FB Marketplace.

Yesterday I overate significantly and my stomach is so bloated. I'm currently dieting and I feel like undone weeks of good work and I'm trying not to panic (although I know it's water and salt!)

I'm literally muttering "it's salt not fat" while rubbing my belly 😂

Awake at 8am, unusually late for me. Tea in bed brought by DP, lovely.

Went for a walk around 10am, cheered on the half marathon that's going through our village and past our house.

DP has made soup to use up left over veg but it's not soup weather. It's still yummy though and low calorie as we're trying to be healthy.

DS (20) still in his room, no movement yet. Not sure what time he got in.

Need to get some petrol later. Put all the garden cushions away last night (storm pending but didn't happen ) so don't know if I can be bothered to get them out again.

Going to try & finish my book later.

Anyone else?

Sweating, sweating and more sweating...

Even more now that a cat has sat on me... The rule in this house is you cannot move until the cat moves (but they can be coaxed away)

Just about to launch my sewing machine out of the window as the needle keeps jamming and today was meant to be a taking in of nice clothes day after losing two stone. Oh dear i may have to shop for new instead 😁

I'm lying on a lounger in the garden with cat, reading my kindle and drinking a Bloody Mary covered in factor 50.

Hot weather grinch DH is in his study with the curtains shut and a fan on him playing games 😂

We're part way through making sausages. Butcher delivered 10kg of minced shoulder yesterday, which is just out of the fridge. Herbs and spices, plus some rusk, mixed and ready to go. Now to load the sausage stuffer and get started.

DD is in the kitchen which is probably the coolest room of the house studying; year 12 exams are coming up.

DS is in his room - has been seen but has hangover after various alcoholic beverages last night.

DH is in the living room reading I think.

I am in the garden in the shade watching the French Open tennis final

I am lounging on my garden swing listening to the birds and the water feature and ‘supposedly’ looking at our finances- in reality I am scrolls MN, Facebook and contemplating what’s for dinner.

Flopped on the garden sofa under the umbrella reading/ MN. BBQ later when and if it cools down.

Melting....

Into a puddle of pink gooey sludge..

Took dog to get his summer haircut , came back and did some sorting of husbands side of the garage while he lay in - now encouraging him to finish the job !

DH is playing a computer game, DD is alternating between revising for her GCSEs and upcycling a skirt, I've just stopped for an ice cream break after tidying my desk and DS has gone to a friend's house for a D&D game. I forgot to marinade the meat for the pulled pork I'd planned to make for tonight, so we'll be having sausages, a couple of different salads and strawberries and cream for dinner tonight. A couple of the neighbours are talking very loudly about Brexit in their garden, so I'm staying inside at the moment.

My toddler son is eating his dinner, he woke up from his nap a little later than usual as we were out all day til late yesterday so we’re all out of whack, my husband is working (as per!) and won’t be back til late, I am wondering what to do this afternoon that doesn’t take too much energy with a very high energy son 🤣 i expect let him loose in the garden with all his toys while I flump on my lounger!

Just spent the day at sports awards ceremony which was outside with no shade. We’re all feeling exhausted from it. So 1 DC playing fifa in cool room and 1 Dc watching Tick-tock in other cool room. DH having a nap.

I need to tidy the messy house and go to Aldi. So obviously instead I’m MNing.

Almost a perfect hot June Sunday.
(Only improved by the never will be able to afford it own indoor swimming pool)

Most exciting thing H just doing a modest trip run.

myself, sat by open bifolds in new-ish armchair, garden to one side, cold diet cokes filled with ice the other, reading gentle, short story, whodunits set in heatwaves.

Teens in curtained rooms online, revising, homework because both out too much yesterday.

Sunday radio in background.

No intention on putting on footwear more strenuous than a 'slider' if I can help it.

You’re living life on the edge, they’ll be shutting in an hour won’t they? The pressure 😱

@NeverThatSerious i think realistically it ain’t happening, so tomorrow’s pack ups will be random

I’m sat in garden watching DH set up paddling pool, I’m starting dinner at 4pm, chicken roast.

two kids are creating videos on I video

Love a random selection lunchbox 🤣

Waiting for my kids insulin to run down so I can get him into the bath, todays been a lazy Sunday and I don't feel the least bit guilty after DS7 nearly killed me off going for two hour hike while making me carry his scooter all the way.

I had multifocal Lens replacement surgery on Thursday so I'm still milking the "I can't get dust in my eyes" line. So avoiding housework and cooking! Also put my bloody back out so I can't move anyway - I know from previous episodes it takes a while to recover.

dh cleaned the cars this morning and I have managed to do a wash - although it looks like it might rain here so may have to muster courage to get off the sofa and bring it in.

dog is 12 this week so have been thinking a lot of her puppy years - she's snoozing next to me.

dd is in Florida with her boyfriend and his family and ds is in his university accommodation in London so it's just us - quiet but lovely. He returns on Wednesday for the summer so my food bill will rise dramatically!

pork fillet mash and peas for din - a bit hot for it I know but I have to use it today.

Oh and strawberries and cream as well for afters - I also have half a bottle of rose left so might have that as well. Who am I kidding of course I'm having the rose 🤣

Seething because DH decided to leave out a bowl of leftover tuna for the cat on the hottest day of the year. No cat to be seen and it fucking stinks.

Also trying to get the children off screens and do something else to no avail.

I'm going to sit in the garden and read the paper and to hell with the housework.
