Good Morning All! What's everyone up to today?

[lucysmam]

I've been up about half an hour already, the washer's on for school shirts for the last time until Sept (although maybe I'll wash them next week actually). I've just sat down in my kitchen spot with what's left of my first cuppa. I have the window wide open but there's not many birds about atm & it's very quiet.

Everyone else is still sleeping atm so I'm enjoying the peace for now.

I have a busy day of not much planned. I'm off out to my favourite restaurant with the girls' dad tonight so saving my energy for that. Don't want to push my luck after chemo yesterday. The girls are planning to order Chinese for their tea 😋

First job is to pin & try on some trousers tonight, then see what dd1 thinks of my outfit - she's usually quite reliable at telling me if I need to change anything, without being rude. Atm they're almost full length on me but they're actually meant to be cropped - I'm just a short arse 🤣

I have Self Care Saturday planned after that! Since I haven't been out on an evening in months I'm going to have the scrubbiest shower ever, face mask, moisturise instead of be lazy, proper make up, paint my toenails etc. I may even do my fingernails! I'm really looking forward to it 😊

I also want to start varnishing Goldilocks & the Three Bears. I need to paint on the bears' faces first while I wait for dd to get up and look at my trousers.

Dd2 will sleep for ages yet I think. She's fallen asleep very early most nights this week & is ready for the end of term. She was toying with seeing if dd1 wanted to go for a wander into town, depending on the weather. Not sure they'll actually bother though & dd1's happy enough mooching here.

I'll head straight to bed when we get in, I think. The girls will probably be up later than me 🙈

What about all of you? 🙂

Morning @lucysmam , hope yesterday went well.
It’s a lovely lazy day for us today.
I've just moved the Guinea pig’s run so he’s got some lovely fresh lawn to eat.
Next job is to take the dogs out for a run over the fields - hopefully I’ll dodge the rain showers.
It's my friends birthday today - I had an afternoon tea delivered to her yesterday so today shall call round with some flowers and her card.
Have received a drunken email from DDs dad, he likes a Friday night drunken mail, so am in the process of drafting a response to that! He’s such a muppet.

Enjoy the pampering today

Just had relaxing bath then phoned vets for appointment for DDs rabbit.
Put wash on, tidying kitchen.
Dropping DD3 off in town in 30 mins then going to vets , followed by grocery shop and housework. Exciting times!

I’m on the sofa with the cat watching Wednesday. Loving it so far.

I’ve got really bad sciatica so I’m doped up on paracetamol, ibuprofen and codeine. It was getting better but it flared up badly on Thursday. So exhausted with it.

DD 22 is on holiday with her friends in Italy, she’s home tomorrow. DH has gone to pick up MIL who is staying with us for a couple of weeks.

We live in France and DH is Italian. We’re taking MIL out of the inferno of a city she lives in. Its to be 35°- 40° where she lives. It’s cooler where we are in the mountains.

im supposed to be running a race. Unsure if it the full race till later due to thunder and lightning predicted.

they might reduce the distance if its a storm. Fingers crossed its no storm!

Just at swimming lesson drinking a coffee . Need to go home and sort house out then take dd2 for her tap which is last of the term so I get to watch.
this afternoon they are going to a cousins party which their dad is taking them to so planning to do a bit of cleaning / washing and then chill.

been up to the allotment to tie-up everything , rain + gales doesn't bode well for outdoor crops like sweetcorn, tomatoes etc.

Woke about 15 mins ago. I can't really be bothered to do much today. Going to make a coffee & drink it in bed whilst watching an episode of the resident.
Might pop to see my mum. I'm a 44 year old woman & I regularly see my mum but I feel like I've missed her this week so I'll probs call in later.

I’m still in bed with a coffee DP delivered before heading out with the dog for her walk. I can hear all the kids downstairs so I’ll get up shortly and make them bacon, egg and cheese bagels.

Not much planned today, I imagine DP will continue with the garden project if the rain holds off. DS1 has got kick boxing at lunchtime but the rest of us will just relax I think.

No ideas what’s for dinner, finding something all four of them will eat is a pain in the bum!

Morning All!
@lucysmam you sound like you are doing really well, so glad to hear!

I’m tackling the washing pile and kitchen at the moment, the house is a mess! But my reward will be coffee and cake later with my lovely friend who has been on holiday for 2 weeks.

Have a fabulous day all

Morning everyone

Not much today, feeling a bit knackered as I've had no AL since feb so it's starting to feel like a bit of a slog. I only work part time , but in a job that takes up a lot of my brain on my days off.
I have a weeks AL coming up soon, can't wait!!

So today will involve a quick trip into town to get a few things for the holiday, then a rest. I'd like to get into the garden but can't see that happening! ☔️

Morning @lucysmam, hope you have a fantastic evening out tonight!

I’ve stuck a wash on and dropped DD off at dancing so have been catching up on Love Island and eating some chocolate porridge with raspberries. DH was on a late last night so is still sleeping, will wake him up shortly.

In two minds about what to do this afternoon, due thunderstorms so will be stuck indoors. Wouldn’t mind a lazy afternoon in the house but if DD gets restless we might end up at the soft play or cinema. Cinema will mean the new Spiderman film which DD desperately wants to see but I am not very excited about!

I'm 40 today!!!!! Having a party tonight. Today I will chill and maybe make some of my new lego 🤗

On the sofa with second coffee. Need to get shopping for mum. Supposed to be yoga in the park this afternoon but rain will probably ruin it.
DS comes home tonight so doing a roast! Havent really bothered to cook while he's been away so view this as a pain in the arse tbh. Why does he need to eat?

Happy birthday @MrsTaytodarling 🥳

Morning @lucysmam , hope you're feeling OK.

Today is a day of driving all over the place for me.
At swimming with GC1 , then take them hone and pick up mum and GC2, whose 1st Birthday is today.
Then take GC1 to a class party.
After that take my DC3 to work.
Maybe pop up the hospital to see my dad. See what the time is when I've finished running everyone else about.

Roll on school holidays!!

@Hedjwitch I wonder why they need to eat everyday at around 4:30pm when I start wondering what's for tea that evening 🤣

@MrsTaytodarling have a fabulous birthday 🥳 enjoy your party!

@MrsTaytodarling happy birthday 🎂

On the sofa with my second coffee atm while the girls are playing nicely with each other ( for once)

off to gymnastics later and then eldest has requested to go feed the ducks and have happy meal for dinner. havent decided if we’re joining the kids for that or attempt to have something a bit more ‘filling’ and nutritious

Doing a food shop later when husband gets home from work. Then I plan on having lovely relaxing evening (once kids have gone to bed) with my wine and my tv shows as its been a very long week!

Hi. I'm having a lazy morning as dh is working. Sorted breakfast for me and ds and I'm now back in bed. Hurt my shoulder recently so feel a weekend of doing not much would benefit it. Got shopping to do later for us and my mum but thats all I have planned. Pamper day tomorrow I think

We're doing the Big Step Forward in DH's memory, it's raising funds and awareness and to try to transform the future for those who get the diagnosis of this bloody awful disease. I haven't managed to raise much sponsorship personally but everyone doing their walk today (we are all doing our own, individual walks) will be wearing purple tee shirts from Pancreatic Cancer UK so I am hoping that alone will get people talking. It's going to be wet, windy and wild but we will complete our five miles.

Morning @lucysmam hope you have a great evening out tonight!

I've been up since 6.30 with our youngest while DH had a lie in we will swap tomorrow.

Got one load of uniform's in the dryer already, it's so rainy and windy here it feels quite autumnal!

This morning we are just pottering around, DC are reading/ colouring etc.

This afternoon we are off to a family friends party, we will have food there, then when we get home DH is off out for a work friends birthday, social butterfly! I'm hoping to get some of my cross stitch done this evening, it's very slow going. I'm trying to enjoy the process but I'm getting impatient now!

Have a lovely Saturday all!

Good morning! I’ve been awake since 4am, got up at 6, I will be knackered by early evening
DH was supposed to be out for the day but changed his mind 🙄 so he’s drifting around doing nothing but irritating me 😊
I’ve done a load of washing and hung it out, keeping a close eye on the weather as it’s supposed to be raining heavily again. I cleared the ironing pile and that’s all put away, cleaned the bathroom and the kitchen.
Just had a coffee and 2 matso with peanut butter , no idea what’s for lunch but I have a cooked chicken in the fridge so probably that with chips or new potatoes.
Dishwasher has nearly finished so DH can empty it.
Apart from that nothing else planned.
Have a lovely day everyone 🙏

Hope you get a restful day after chemo LucysMam

It's 45 mph winds and rain here.

DD has gone off to her job, supposed to be hosting a garden party. 🤔

DH is just dropping her off. He was supposed to be looking at a piano but person cancelled.

In theory teen DS has a haircut at 2pm but whether teen will move, he's asd and non verbal remains to be seen. Trying to reassure him. I ended up with a haircut last appointment for him though I really needed it to cut my chemo curls.

Hopefully swimming this afternoon.

Happy birthday @MrsTaytodarling 🎂

DD is at Guides camp and I am nervously watching the weather. Hope she has a good time despite .. well, rain and wind and all of it 😱😭

DS is delightedly enjoying uninterrupted Switch time without his sister 🤣 I’m about to shatter his peace and take him out though.

DH is cooking pork chops tonight and I am hoping to persuade him to watch Black Mirror. He argues that it’s depressing and frankly we don’t need that. He does make a good point 😆

Theres also tennis and Tour de France so we will sit on our arses watching other people be healthy.

oh and I need to do laundry, starting with re washing the bedsheets I washed two days ago and then didn’t take out 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Morning @lucysmam and all!
I've been for my morning run/chat with a friend and now having a coffee whilst I think through what needs to happen today. We're going on holiday tomorrow so at the moment there are piles of things around the house that need packing.
I also want to give the house a once over so it's clean and tidy when we get back.
In amongst that I'd like to catch some of the ladies final at Wimbledon.
Enjoy your meal this evening @lucysmam - sounds like it's a long overdue nice night out for you. Your self-care day sounds lovely.

@MrsTaytodarling happy 40th birthday 🎂

Hope the walk goes as well as it can CopperSea
