I did check before posting, so my apologies if this is a duplicate thread!

Anyway...I'm just relaxing after chemo 12/18, and then lunch out with the girls. I've done a bit more of the Colour Monster display props and treasure chest I'm working on for school too, today. I was going to pick up my crochet, but I'm quite tired so am not going to. I've been trying to do the same row for a couple of weeks now & my brain just won't compute it at all 🤷‍♀️

I might browse Vinted for cheap, 2nd hand, cowboy boots, and a slouchy jacket to make a Karma jacket, before I consider new. I want to rhinestone the boots & that will take forever, hence looking with 10 months to go! Then have a scroll of tik-tok which will show me lots of food, cats, and Eras tour outfits. It sometimes chucks in 3 minutes of House or The Good Doctor too.

Dd1's teaching herself to play August (Taylor Swift) on guitar, having failed so far on the keyboard - she says she can't find the sheet music online for it.

Dd2's showering - must be an all over scrubby type because she's been in there longer than usual.

What about you lot?

Hi lucysmam, didn’t want to read and run. Hope you are feeling ok after the chemo. We are on holiday- 0019 here. DH is asleep next to me, not snoring for once. The kids are asleep after a busy day in the pool. We came 21st out of 45 in the evening quiz tonight! I am drinking a very strong Mai tai cocktail, and watching Below deck sailing yacht on Netflix.

Hope you manage a bit more on the crochet, I really want to learn how to, but I think I'm too lazy 😂
Chemo is draining, so hope you've had a slow and easy evening.
We've had a bit of an odd one today, went out (had to have an earlier dinner). Got back, and everyone's a little hungry, dd (7) has had a small bowl of cereal (I have too-but I love cereal so any excuse). DS(12) claims he's not hungry (he seems to say that a lot recently).
Trying to get dc to bed, but it's going to take a while for them to get ready for bed, dd takes the longest time getting ready for bed.
Making myself a cup of tea and might have a little flick through Netflix.

Good luck with your chemo, OP.

DS1 is away visiting friends from uni.
DS2 is chatting online with a friend from USA.
DH is in his man den so probably playing football manager.
I had a day off work today so made a big Dutch apple crumble cake and home made pizzas for a family film night but the TV chose today to 'quickly update' its settings for half an hour after which Amazon Prime kept malfunctioning so we gave up and just chatted instead. Also had a lovely long walk on the heath in rare sunshine. About to go to bed with a novel I'm half way through and loving.

Really nice day.

We had a 4 hour round trip for a family get together today so relaxing now. We all had a very big lunch, so for tea tonight we just had an apple and blackberry crumble.

DCs are either in bed or faffing in their rooms.

I've been binge watching Dectectorists (again!) and browsing online pondering buying a pair of Fitflop trainers.

Having a nice cold glass of wine too.

Nutsabouttopic · 04/08/2023 23:03

Eldest is at work, hospitality
Second is on a girls night out with friends. I'm waiting for a text to collect her later
Other two DC are here . They and DH are watching the Twilight movies. Popcorn mixed with prawn cocktail crisps and crispy m&ms the snack of choice.
I'm between scrolling on my phone and reading a book, dog flaked out beside me.
Weather here very wintery

We took the dog for a walk round the water park next door and stopped for a drink at the bar.
Then had cheeseburger pasta for dinner (slimming world), some wine, now chatting with our daughter who is just home from her restaurant job.

Just got back from the pub to celebrate dd1 21st and now we are all in bed. Dd2 and her friend are downstairs in the front room having a sleepover and I’m just laying here on mn and feeling pretty chilled

golddustwomen · 04/08/2023 23:48

Am lying in bed deciding whether to get back up and watch some tv or not.
Was so tired downstairs, now I'm up in bed I'm wide eyed. Being on my phone probably doesn't help Grin
Was a chilled Friday night for us. Had a couple of bottles of beer and watched guardians of the galaxy 3 with the kids.
