Lazed around this morning watching tv with DS and then decided I should do something productive so have dismantled DS’s wardrobe and taken all the bits outside ready to go to the tip at some point. Then I took the new wardrobe out of its many boxes and carted it all upstairs ready to build. However it’s unpleasantly humid here and I felt in danger of melting so I’m currently sitting on my bed with my neck fan on, eating an ice cream and scrolling on Mumsnet 😊

Holly03 · 09/07/2023 16:14

Only my third load of washing, second on the line. Argued with my mother and cut her and my father out of my line. Cleaned the bathroom and toilet.
cleaned my hoover as it conked out(hope it works again).
mowed the back garden
nipped to the shop twice
Washed up twice

scrubbed sick off my sons floor
put the washing away
half built the sideboard (waiting to finish when my daughter sleeps)
I’ve got so much to do before I go to sleep but I definitely need wine and to start tea.
it is also day 1 of quitting smoking

Doyoumind · 09/07/2023 16:17

Why do I do any day?

RatSalad · 09/07/2023 16:17

Gardening. All day. I’m pooped.

I’m just about to finish up and get a roast dinner on, including making a batch gluten and egg free Yorkshires.

I also popped to the shop and stocked up on movie snacks so we can chill out with a film later on.

Ooh, must fit in the Sunday skincare pamper after shower this evening too.

PinkiOcelot · 09/07/2023 16:21

I’m on holiday so I had breakfast and have lazed by the pool or in the pool all day. Bliss.

My Sundays are usually spent cleaning and tidying and getting ready for work on Monday.

Whattodo112222 · 09/07/2023 16:29

Woke up at 6am. Rudely awoken by DD4 hanging over me like the girl from the ring..
Stripped down beds, changed bedding.
Put two loads of washing on and hung up.
Serviced the washing machine, cleaned the drawer, filter and drum.
Prepped roast dinner.
Made lunch for DD4.
Went swimming for an hour.
Took some clothes to the donation bin on way home.
Put swimming stuff in wash.
Put roast dinner on.
Prepped lunch for work tomorrow.
Practiced reading and writing with DD4.

Still have to:
Serve up roast dinner shortly
Wash up and tidy kitchen
Hang up swimming stuff
Reading with DD
Bath, bedtime for DD
Paint my nails as they're chipped.
Collapse into bed by which point I'm drooling with one eye closed and one eye open 🤤

mondaytosunday · 09/07/2023 16:40

Not a lot. My daughter made lunch (ham and cheese toasties and salad) and, for the very first time, mowed the lawn!
I cleaned up after lunch and will put a load of laundry on soon. Took care of the pets but other than cooking dinner and maybe a little bit of tidying do not plan on anything else. Got a busy week ahead driving four to six hours a day so do not feel pushed to do much.

PickledMuffin · 09/07/2023 16:42

Went to a soft play with the children to meet a friend and their children. went to the shop, baked cakes and now cooking a roast 😋

Oikoi · 09/07/2023 16:46

@Freshair1 nope no one else helping I've got the house to myself for the first time in ages so I've been able to crack on.

DH is working so if he had been around he would have shared some of the load with me otherwise.

Wow, most have you have been very busy! I took DH a cup of tea in bed and I did an hour on my bike. DH made a roast lamb dinner which I really enjoyed. I Uploaded a couple of things on Vinted, one of which sold straightaway, so I've packaged it and taken it to a locker. I'm now going to eat some Minstrels Grin
Very lazy day

Inextremis · 09/07/2023 17:10

Very little. Got up around 7.30 am, had a large coffee, took the dogs down the field and threw balls for a while, back indoors, reheated dhal for breakfast, then an hour or so in Elder Scrolls Online (game). Emptied the dishwasher, emptied the kitchen bins. Reminded DH to get his washing out of the machine and hang it up. Mumsnetted for a while, husband went to the pub with his friend. Made an interesting stuffing and stuffed it in a chicken (bulgur wheat, preserved lemon, garlic, chilli flakes, mint, coriander, and parsley), boiled new potatoes then crushed them with a meat hammer (very satisfying!). Chicken and potatoes roasting in oven at the moment, chianti in my glass. Mumsnetting again, debating which vegetables to cook to go with the dinner. Husband watching F1, I think, though he says it's just ended. A lovely Sunday.

PrincessHoneysuckle · 09/07/2023 17:12

Amended a holiday with Jet 2 was very surprised it was such good customer service.

Had lunch at parents

Suchsadtimes · 09/07/2023 17:14

Made some flatbreads and had them with bacon, mushrooms and tomatoes with DH and DS. Met my mate had a picnic lunch and walked round a lovely country park for 4 hours.

Watching last 30 mins if a horror film, DH hates them. Having dinner soon, I will cook, they will clear up and then watching our box set. Possibly play our video game together.

Soopermum1 · 09/07/2023 19:46

Went to Mass. went on a long walk ( with a pub stop) then made home made dumplings with DD. Now contemplating how the hell to get a massive sofa out the lounge, ready for the delivery of the new one tomorrow
