I'm just about to do a little bit more beading on part of my Eras Tour outfit, then probably doom scroll & go to bed early ish. I'm tired after being at Lovejoy's gig last night, then seeing my consultant today. Thoroughly enjoyed the concert though, and had a really positive day today, plus amazing fish and chips for lunch on the walk back to the bus stop 😋

Dd1 is tucked up in bed, scrolling tiktok & avoiding moving 🤣 She was at the gig last night then had a full day of college today so is probably as tired as me 💤 She needs to shower too.

Dd2 is chatting away to her friend. They're both exceptionally loud on the phone 🙈

Bed time all round, quite soon!

What's going on at yours tonight?

Alright Lucy's mam 😊 love your threads

DH is pretending to work downstairs

Kids at school, will pick them up shortly

Sausage casserole cooking away 😋

HoliHormonalTigerLillyTheSecond · 21/09/2023 20:22

Eating cherries and yogurt in the kitchen.
DCs watching rugby with DH. Occasionally shouting.
DDog & DCat snoozing

WorriedMillie · 21/09/2023 20:23

I’m winding my brain back to A level biology and helping DD to revise photosynthesis 🤣

Ladyj84 · 21/09/2023 20:25

Just bathed all 4 little ones and popped them to bed here's hoping I can watch a couple of hours tv in peace lol

BitOutOfPractice · 21/09/2023 20:26

I’m not home. I’m on the train. And i Don’t live in a house. But I do love your threads so can I join in?

I’ve been in London with a client all day. Then I met my lovely uni friend for a glass of champagne. At home I expect dp is watching a boy programme on tv and putting His shoes on to come and pick me up.

approaching40 · 21/09/2023 20:27

Just got out of the shower. Peppermint tea brewed and about to watch real housewives of New York on hayu.

Youngest two are in bed but awake. DD 12 downstairs watching Netflix.

PS: sent hubby out to Sainsbury’s to get some last min packed lunch bits for kids tomorrow Grin

mondaytosunday · 21/09/2023 20:30

Watching the Good Doctor with the gas fire on. Daughter has only realised today her essay for unit one of her art foundation course is due tomorrow so is furiously typing away next to me. One dog on sofa, one in front of the fire. Not sure where the cats have gone.
We had fish and chips for supper. Trying to ignore the bread calling my name from the kitchen...

ATrulyMagnificentBroom · 21/09/2023 20:33

I've just put toddler DD to bed and am about to have a bath because my back is aching. I also want to have a big piece of my chocolate and orange birthday cake, and am trying to decide whether to eat it before, during, or after my bath.
After my bath I'm going to read my book and head off to bed earlyish.
DH is downstairs watching tv I think.
DD is not actually asleep yet but hopefully will be soon. She's rolling around in her cot and wiggling her feet in the air.

lucysmam · 21/09/2023 20:33

@BitOutOfPractice of course you can! I'd be here forever if I sat typing every type of place folks could live 🤣

@Ladyj84 @approaching40 hopefully your little ones all sleep well & you can both relax a bit 😊

@WorriedMillie my girls baffle my brain sometimes with the things they think I can remember from my own GCSE/A level years!

Started reading your post and suddenly imagined Taylor Swift seeing her own outfits and posting on mumsnet Grin

Toddler DD is in bed and I'm having a pre mixed cocktail before getting DS into bed too. I've got a programme on about 5 a day but it's a bit crap.

useless1000 · 21/09/2023 20:40

Dh at gym ds at club and dd in shower, I'm lying on my bed trying not to snooze or I won't sleep tonight, will head down and watch some tv with dh when he gets home and then bed

frozendaisy · 21/09/2023 20:41

Just got to sofa, H on way back from work, made Persian rice for dinner so house smells of all spice, cinnamon and tumeric
I am attempting to only have school uniform to wash at weekends, and not use the tumble if I can avoid so I have this, seemingly more time consuming, new routine, washing line, in to hang, just hang, god it's complicated but a no weekend laundry is my prize! (Apart from school shirts, blazers, pe kit, I can deal with that as it's not really put away).

I have cinnamon tea and a couple of weekend newspaper magazines to get through.

Usedandhurt · 21/09/2023 20:43

I’ve just had a big meal and have a face mask on. I’m home alone as everyone else has something on tonight and it’s blissful. I may have crisps and chocolate and watch crap tv.

septemberoctobernovember · 21/09/2023 20:43

DP came for dinner and went home to do some work. One doing homework, one watching TV with me and one just popped out to see a friend

tiffinagain · 21/09/2023 20:43

Just been to the Gym with DH, ate supper and am now going to change the bed sheets and have a shower. Should be time to watch an episode of Severance on Apple TV and maybe even read a chapter of my book if I get a move on. Also will have a cup of tea and a muffin I baked earlier.

Tarkan · 21/09/2023 20:47

DH is at work. DD just got home from her work so I'm sorting dinner for me and both DC in between keeping track of both the Rangers and West Ham matches.

I had my Covid and flu jags today. I felt a bit dizzy just after having them but I'm fine now thankfully. My arms don't ache as much as they have done in previous years either but I'll see how they are when I'm trying to sleep tonight.

One dog is on the sofa with me. The other two are roaming the rest of the house somewhere.

SofiYol · 21/09/2023 20:48

I’m glad your having a good day OP!

Ive just had a bath, going to get into bed and doom scroll/find something easy to watch.

My son is on his occulus, daughter in bed watching TV. Bedtime for both shortly.

Its been a shit week, recovering from covid and bad news about a relative who has a brain tumour. It all feels a bit much at the moment and the weather this week hasn’t helped matters. Everything feels a bit grey and miserable.

Still, Friday tomorrow!

Justonedayatatime11 · 21/09/2023 20:54

DH is just home from the gym and making himself dinner, DD has just gone to bed. I'm laying in bed thinking I'm slightly peckish but can't be bothered to go and find anything. Procrastinating instead of looking for new slaves for the kittens... sadly I think DH will divorce me if I keep them all!

ThreeRingCircus · 21/09/2023 20:59

I was so tired after work.... I did back to back meetings all day and my head is frazzled so it's a quiet one here.

We had vegetable curry with garlic naan bread for dinner. DDs are now in bed asleep and I've had a bath.

DH poured me a rum and coke and we're catching up with Celebrity Race Across the World. DH says we'd make a good team if we did that programme together as we have a similar mindset and get on so well and I think he's right ...but it was still nice of him to say.❤

Same bedtime and bedtime routine every night.....10.30pm and I'll read a chapter of my book before going to sleep.

BitOutOfPractice · 21/09/2023 20:59

Thank you @lucysmam I’m home now. Bra off. Glass of wine placed in my hand. Aaaaaand relax. It’s been a long day.

i very much love the sound of the outfit you’re sewing!

lucysmam · 21/09/2023 21:07

Thanks @BitOutOfPractice . This is my progress on the garter so far - this middle section is most time consuming! I have plans to customise a jacket, shorten a dress, and did want to customise some boots too but decided against that since there are bracelets to make with the girls too!

@Justonedayatatime11 the kittens must be big now! Will you keep any?

@ThreeRingCircus that was a nice thing for your dh to say 😊 I'd be hopeless at anything like that!

@lucysmam very big! They'll be 10 weeks old on Saturday. I'm keeping the girl, the boys will all be looking for new slaves!

What's going on at your house?
Decafflatteplease · 21/09/2023 21:12

Evening @lucysmam 🙂

I'm just laying in the dark getting my youngest down to sleep just listening for the change in breathing that means I can sneak out!

Nothing much going on here, little ones asleep, teens are in their rooms reading. I've got a load of washing to hang up to dry, then will make a herbal tea and catch up on an episode of casualty from the weekend and have a bit of a switch off.Also need to get a shower and wash my hair but will do that just before bed.

lucysmam · 21/09/2023 21:12

Aw, they are beautiful. What breed are they? I love their ears 🥰
