I'm just up & have had breakfast - now I can drink my cuppa in actual silence without occasional grumbling 🙈 I'm sat in my spot, with the window open, and my tea brewed in my pot. The girls are still sleeping and their dad's at work for the morning so it's lovely sitting here 😊

As always, washing and pots to be done. They never bloody end. & a quick tidy round and sweep at some point. I'll get the machine going shortly.

We're nipping into town today - dd1 has an interview on Monday afternoon so needs a smarter top than the ones she has. I'm sure dd2 will decide she needs something too. We're going to have a wander round the market a little earlier than last week & buy some more of the giant cakes from the Polish bakery on there. They were divine, and definitely worth more than I paid last week!

When we get in, it is definitely time to stop for a while, after being busy for four days with appointments and Prom, I could do with a rest.

Not sure what the girls will do - I'm fairly sure I heard dd2 tell dd1 she has English homework so will check if she does or I mis-heard the conversation. Dd1 is probably still tired after Prom 🤣 She slept the afternoon away yesterday!

Tea will be something quick and easy, from the freezer probably, then an early one for me after an hour with my crochet project, I think. Everyone else will entertain themselves & go to bed stupidly late, purely because it's Saturday 🙄🤣

What are you all up to? 🙂

Afternoon everyone! Likewise I started reading this morning and then got sidetracked. I was at Guns n’ Roses in Hyde Park last night so was a struggle getting up to cart DS1 to football training but I managed it! He’s also done kick boxing and is now off playing golf with his dad.

DS2, DSS, DSD and her friend are all hanging out downstairs in the snug after bacon, egg and cheese bagels. I watch the morning session of The Ashes between carting and cooking. It’s lunch now so I’m finally getting in the shower!

School Summer Fayre this afternoon so I’m taking all the kids to that while DP finishes building the raised flowerbeds in the garden.

Sausage and mash for tea once DS1 gets home and then our neighbours are coming round for a kitchen disco.

Actually going to the Ashes tomorrow so will try not to feel too ropey tomorrow!

💐hope you're ok

Thank you.

Right now it doesn't feel as though I am. I will be in time I guess. But right now I want to cry and scream, while trying to pretend everything is OK because I can't tell anyone the truth.

There are worse off than me though, most would laugh at my 'problem'.

I'm currently lay on the sofa whilst some lovely hot dogs cook on the Tefal grill so take zero effort then we're going to bed the little one will be up around 5 so late nights aren't for us anymore but I really love it I wouldn't admit it but I love our exhausted 5am mornings when the world is quiet and she's awake and happy.

Aw @AfraidOfLove I hope you're feeling a bit brighter now 💐

I've just sat down with my crochet & Food Network on in the background. I'll be off to bed shortly though; I'm starting to feel 4 busy days 💤

We ordered pizzas for tea - I wasn't fussed & would have cooked but everyone else enjoyed them. Trouble is, I'm not sure I want my pastry now after all that bread 😢

Maybe it'll be breakfast instead 🤔

Hope everyone's had a nice day 😊

First child free Saturday in months. Lie in followed by brunch out. Came back and started watching an Amazon box set. Went to bed in the afternoon. Got up had loaded fries for dinner and now bingeing on the rest of the box set whilst eating crisps and Tangfastics.
A rare and lovely relaxed day together ☺️
