What’s Happening In Your House?

How’s your Friday going so far? It’s so hot & not in a good way - humid. I’m suffering with sinus headaches & this weather isn’t helping. Doing pizzas for tea later. I have a sourdough one with ham, mushroom & mascarpone. DH has pepperoni. I may have a glass of Chenin Blanc on the go!
I got my car back from the garage today. They have had it for 3 weeks & it’s eventually fixed! The accident was back in October & we couldn’t afford to get it repaired when they offered a date in December. Because it’s taken so long, they waived the excess charge of £350. I’ve had a Vauxhall Corsa as a courtesy car. Took a while to get used to but I actually quite liked it, especially the reverse sensors!!
A week ago, DH & I were in London to celebrate a big birthday. We had 3 nights away & it was fab. Already planning the next break, probably for our wedding anniversary in May. We saw a couple of West End shows. If you get the chance to go to “ Tina” ( the Tina Turner story) grab it with both hands! It was absolutely phenomenal! The leading lady was off the chart talented. At one point I cried because it was so good. We also saw Back To The Future which was great fun with very good special effects, especially at the end.
DD14 is away, back tomorrow, so we’re enjoying the final 24 hours of peace! Tomorrow is DM’s birthday & we’re having an Indian takeaway. DBro & DSis in Law will be joining us. DD is probably having cheesy chips. Not very adventurous!

DH is in London seeing Russell Howard. Kids are both asleep and I'm on the sofa with a bowl of icecream and the very rear chance of control on what is on the telly. Been at work all day in a room with no air con so now have 2 fans on me.

I've had a mad day at work and was hungover from yesterday so it has been long and trying. Then DH decided to do a bbq - he is terrible at them and smoked out our whole street.

The children loved it and ate steaks and chicken and sausages but I wasn't up for that so had krisp rolls and a piece of nice cheddar with some rose.

Now I've had my third shower of the day and am lying on my bed with the dog and the fan trained on us while I read my phone.

DH and children downstairs watching rugby.

Watching tv with a lovely wine, finished doing my nails with the fabulous lily and fox nail wraps.

DH is away for the month with work. I've been at my volunteering role for the evening, not long home, got a lovely cold beer on the go!

Watching Walking Dead with DS (we're very late to the show!), waiting on DD to come home from a party. Gave her a midnight curfew, I can't quite relax til she's in. I look forward to the day I don't have to sit up worrying about them.....

Hope you're enjoying the peace OP!

Walked the dog, went to meet my fiancé at a vintage bar. Had a few beers, came home, hugged the pup, watched Benidorm.

Everyone still sleeping, DH and DS x2 all out last night so am enjoying the peace this morning. Off to shops soon for bits and pieces, make a spaghetti Bol for dinner and enjoy this weather which looks to be our last gasp of summer ‘23 😢

Up at 5.30.
Tried to explain to the dog that now was his chance to walk before it gets too hot.
He declined.
Watched gogglebox, tried Donhead again, gave up and have been looking for bathroom cabinets online.
Will do some painting of bedroom and bathroom then work

Sat on Sofa in a cool (for now) conservatory with two freshly bathed dogs sat near me smelling slightly doggy damp but better than they did.
DH nipped to buy paper and bread, he's been up since 4 due to heat so a bit spaced out. Youngest DD 12 is drawing, she draws for hours a day, something she started during lockdown and now is a passion, middle DS (16) is having a shower and saying he had too much sun yesterday, he's a goblin and likes it cold and dark, eldest DS (20) is having a music lesson via zoom.
Eldest is back to Uni soon so will be having friends over this weekend so I shall have to do some cooking and cleaning.
I'm surfing mumsnet as a distraction technique as I've had some medical tests last week and am seeing Doc on Monday. It's all been very fast so I have a niggly feeling it is something 'proper' that I have and I am NOT THINKING ABOUT IT.
