What’s happening in your house?

I’ve just had breakfast which was a bowl of sheep’s yoghurt with home made low carb granola.

I’ve already had one coffee and am about to make my second. I plan on reading a bit before starting the next phase of my crochet project.

DH and MIL are already in the kitchen making a complex dish for lunch (they’re Italian) and DD is still in bed after a Barbenheimer extravaganza last night

It will be a slow lazy day here.

DH is still in bed, the kids are up on their ipads while i’m watching the news and scrolling with a coffee.
not much planned today, the weather is going to be absolutely rubbish!

AliceinSlumberland · 23/07/2023 07:21

I’m lying on the sofa with my sleeping almost four month old baby, husband is still asleep. About to get some sugary cereal to give me some energy ha and catch up on Love Island.

stayathomer · 23/07/2023 07:24

Writing (hence on mn lol) before I go to work. Everyone else in bed as they always are making me very bitter (not really but they're so lucky!!)

mycatisawesome · 23/07/2023 07:38

Coffee and LBC before grandchildren are up then one of to a party and the other with me in the carnival parade with Rainbows. Hoping the weather doesn't get too bad as yesterday was a washout for the carnival weekend.

I'm laying in bed breastfeeding 1 year old DS. Dh is snoring on the other side of the bed, 4 year old DS is cuddled up to his dad and 10 year old DD is reading in her room.

The bed is so crowded but I'm aware I'll miss this one day so I'm trying to enjoy it.

ssd · 23/07/2023 07:41

Lying in bed listening to the wind blowing through the trees. Am thinking what needs done in the house today and realising I'm the only one who thinks this way.

cptartapp · 23/07/2023 07:45

It's heaving it down in Lancashire. Forecast all day.
DS1 home from uni is still asleep.
DS2 is in Italy travelling, they arrived in Puglia yesterday. Very hot!
DH and I are sorting our POA today and tidying our paperwork. FIL's recent cancer diagnosis and subsequent realisation of the shambles his life admin is in has given us the long overdue push.
Boring but necessary.

Girasoli · 23/07/2023 07:49

Oooh what are they making? (from a fellow Italian).

DH and DC are eating breakfast and watching cartoons in front of the TV. I have bought my tea and toast back to bed (having got up with the DC first).

Other than going to church in a bit we have no plans yet as it's drizzling. I need to hang some wall stickers up in the DCs room but I ideally want the DC out of the way for that...maybe I can persuade DH to go to soft play?

Atalanta1 · 23/07/2023 07:50

Kids just had porridge and are dancing to a Kenny Rogers concert. It’s wet and windy here, so I’m under a throw with my cuppa. We’ll go and tinker with our yacht in the marina later, and walk the dog, hope to get out tomorrow for a sail.

Bananas1350 · 23/07/2023 07:51

Sat in bed wondering if my husband is going to wake up for some …. well sexy time 🤣🤣🤣 if not will get up and make tea. My son and his girlfriend will be asleep for hours yet.

Eggsley · 23/07/2023 07:52

Morning all!

I was up at 5am to drop DS1 off to go on his cadet camp. He's off for two weeks, which is the longest he's ever been away from home. He'll have an amazing time though!

Came back, had breakfast, did a few bits in the kitchen. DH and DS2 have football training this morning and I'll be selling the teas and coffees at the football club again. Then we're going to the shopping centre as DS2 wants to buy a game and we've got a couple of DS1s games that need swapping. DH has just got up and DS2 is bouncing around in his football kit.

Hope everyone has a great day.

Whattheduck · 23/07/2023 07:52

Just let the dog out now back in bed going to listen to a podcast Dh is working away so making the most of having the bed to myself
Dd still in bed
Going to cook a roast later and take the dog for a good walk but no other plans I think Dd is going to the cinema so will probably drop her off

pinkunicorns54 · 23/07/2023 07:54

I'm feeding DC2, whilst DH and DC1 are in our bed singing old McDonald had a farm.
No big plans today!

SushiSuave · 23/07/2023 07:55

Me and DS are watching TV while DH is still in bed. I'm taking DS to Smyths this morning for a treat for his amazing report and SATS results! Then my best friend is coming over to see our new house. We only see each other 3/4 times per year due to his job so I'm really looking forward to seeing him today. May take the dog out later if it doesn't rain and then we've got steak pie for dinner.

CrapBucket · 23/07/2023 07:59

I’m on the sofa about to feed the dog and have a coffee… thinking about getting some trellis and fixing it to my fence… and mowing the lawn… and church…. and a food shop… and visiting an old friend… and not sure if I have enough time and energy for all this…

Tarantella6 · 23/07/2023 08:02

Everyone else is asleep. I am wondering whether to have a quick shower and go to the launderette because the washing machine seems to be unable to spin. We are going to see Barbie in 2 hours so I'm trying to work out if I have enough time.

Fiddlesticksand · 23/07/2023 08:16

Lying in bed planning the day. Breakfast, coffee, Zwift, take DS3 to his girlfriend's house, garden centre, more garage clearing and House decluttering, roast chicken for dinner. Suppose I better get up!

Soooomaninamechanges · 23/07/2023 08:20

We are off to the museum of graves in Notting Hill later. Might get up and go get a costa in a minute. DP is snoring away next to me after a late night. Kids are at their dad's until tomorrow so it can be a lazy one

Myn · 23/07/2023 08:22

DD1 woke us up at six so we've had a bottle in bed and some snuggles and giggles she's now on her first nap of the day (her first wake window is usually quite short)
I've just loaded the dish washer and surveyed everything else that needs doing today but realised I feel far too poorly so having a snugs on the sofa with the dog. DH is in bed :-)
These mornings just feel like family contentment and I would like to bottle them up (minus the feeling like poo)

AliceTheCamelHasFiveHumps · 23/07/2023 08:26

Sitting in bed listening to the radio whilst DD3 is pretending to be a car.

KStockHERO · 23/07/2023 08:26

DH is still in bed. I'm in PJs s scrolling MN while the dog lies next to me farting like a navvie. It's raining so no dog walk this morning.

Once I'm dressed, I'm heading to a houseplant studio to buy a voucher for some friends who got hitched yesterday. Then to Sainsburys for some rice for an afternoon of batch cooking the dog's food for the coming week.

The I'll spend the rest of the day reading my brilliant book, doing some work emails before tomorrow and maybe a little crafting if I'm in the mood.

Ivalueloyaltyaboveallelse · 23/07/2023 08:28

Most of my house is still asleep but DC1 is reading in bed. I’m sat in bed with a tea scrolling. Later I’ll be cleaning and packing for holiday while DH takes my mum to collect her new car. Will cook a roast later and watch a movie.

violetcuriosity · 23/07/2023 08:29

Lying in bed with DP and DD5months watching Miss Rachel 😂.

Meeting my parents for brunch about 10:30 and might take the baby for a walk along the beach after. Quick food shop then back for a roast and DD8's return from her Dad's.

PissedOffNeighbour22 · 23/07/2023 08:46

I'd hoped the kids would sleep in this morning as I let them stay up late last night waiting for their dad to get back from work. Toddler was up just as early as usual but the baby is only just stirring.

Toddler was adamant her dad was hiding under the bed but he's actually at work and won't be back until at least 8pm.

Today I have the beds to change, bedrooms to clean, the usual chores plus a long list of other things to start on.

Kids will just be playing most of the day although the toddler is incredibly whingy today so she's not going to be easy to deal with.

Also have to try to get some extra work done as I'm snowed under at work and they expect too much to fit it all into a standard working week.

recklessgran · 23/07/2023 08:50

I've been up since 5.30am [insomniac]. I've had breakfast and multiple cups of tea. I've cleaned out a kitchen cupboard and chucked out lots of out of date herbs, spices and cake decorations. I've prepped all the veg for the big roast beef dinner later. I've read mumsnet and gransnet and ordered DH some navy socks which he needs for DD3's forthcoming wedding. I sound like a domestic goddess but I really am not and will be flagging by 5.00pm - I'm just good in the early morning but it doesn't last!
DH and DD1 who is staying for the weekend are both still asleep. DDog has been out and is now laying on the sofa with a cushion under his head and his blanky next to him. He is DH's dog really and we have a love/hate relationship as I don't approve of him being allowed on the sofas - he's too cute though.....
Later on we are taking DD1 to the hospital for a skin biopsy [she's disabled so it takes both of us to help her with things like this.] I will first of all help her to have a shower and put Emla cream on her in the hope that it will help her not be too distressed and she manages to co-operate. Bless her - she's a darling. Afterwards we have promised her a Belgium bun which is her special treat.

After dinner I'll probably collapse and get an early night as today will be a tiny bit stressful I think.
