I made myself burger and chips and just started watching normal people. What's everyone else up to?

DH has a friend round and they are upstairs in the office geeking out. I’m watching James Martin on Amazon. Later DH will serve up chilli, rice and nachos for us all and we’ll sit around chatting. Lie-in tomorrow for the first time in a month, can’t wait.

I had a really lazy day but forced myself to go for a walk ... now home with a large glass of wine actually my second and homemade curry for dinner. DH & DS watching the rugby. I'm hoping we might play a board game or cards after dinner .. we did that so much during lockdown but now it seems just reserved for Christmas. I love a board game Grin.

Prettypaisleyslippers · 22/09/2023 18:49

Running a bubble bath. Going to get a glass of Prosecco then get in with my book.

hoophoophooray · 22/09/2023 18:49

Watching how to train your dragon with my 13yo DS (his choice) and waiting for the food gods (aka DH) to supply sustenance (aka get back from the takeaway)

Cece92 · 22/09/2023 18:50

Just logged off so I'm currently laid on my bed mustering the courage to find something for dinner lol! Probably wash my hair then clean pjs on and watch tv with some snacks, but I need snacks so that means dragging myself to shop lol xx

PeraltasWife · 22/09/2023 18:53

Glass of red in hand, about to dish up a homemade curry and then pop a nice disaster film on for family film night.

Earhell · 22/09/2023 18:53

Dh is still at work and I've had covid this week. Kids are eating waffles and fish fingers while I'm under a blanket on the sofa. Will put them to bed and then study with a cup of tea, bung something in the oven for dinner and hopefully be asleep by 10.30

SomethingNastyInTheBallPool · 22/09/2023 18:54

Just finished work. DP is upstairs, hopefully about to get DD bathed. She’s been a bit of a minx recently, delaying every stage of bedtime, but fingers crossed…
I’ve ordered a Chinese, which we’ll eat while listening to the Archers (wild times!)
I might have a lovely long bath with my book afterwards.

Lastchancechica · 22/09/2023 18:55

I have covid. Even the dogs are avoiding me. We have a party tomorrow and I am stressing about being well enough to go. Long week. A man shouted and swore at me in the car when I picked up dd from school and I am still sad and rattled by it.

FuckoffeeBeforeCoffee · 22/09/2023 18:55

Watching Toy Story and counting down to bedtime.

vodkaredbullgirl · 22/09/2023 19:05

About to get ready for my 3rd night shift.

TigerRag · 22/09/2023 19:06

Watching old TOTP episodes on BBC4

Globules · 22/09/2023 19:07

Wolfing down home made soup then off to pub quiz at 7.30. Hope I make it!

IHeartGeneHunt · 22/09/2023 19:08

I'm eating mushy peas with vinegar and bacon, and watching Evil Dead Rise.

frecklejuice · 22/09/2023 19:09

My 9 year old is having a friend to sleep over for the first time and this girl is LOUD!!

I've also just broken my tooth so I'm sitting here praying that my tooth doesn't start hurting and the girls don't stay up all night 🤣

skinnytobe · 22/09/2023 19:11

Ooo I just made myself burger and chips too.

Previous to that I walked the dog.

Now both DC are home. I will go on the treadmill for 30-40 mins. Make sure I reach my 10k steps. But I am bloody exhausted after my busy night shift on wed. 13 hours. 10 nurses short. No breaks 😭

I lay in this morning. Hoping after treadmill. Bubble bath and to bed early! Off out for bottomless brunch tomorrow with a friend 😁

Johnnyfartpants · 22/09/2023 19:11

Vodka and tonic; watching Painkiller on Netflix; will order a pizza later and then probably a lovely bath before bed n book!

PersephonePomegranate23 · 22/09/2023 19:12

I've finished work for the day, had a quick and easy dinner, now pondering what to watch once I've put DD to bed.

Scruffington · 22/09/2023 19:15

scoffing a lovely panful of fried gyoza and roast broccoli and then I think I'll fix myself an espresso martini.

cptartapp · 22/09/2023 19:18

Helping DS1 pack before a trip back to Nottingham for third year uni drop off tomorrow. DS1 went to York for his first year last weekend.
Then our nest is empty. Feeling a bit hollow.

GiveYourHeadAWobble · 22/09/2023 19:20

I had a bowl of muesli for dinner. Couldn't be bothered to cook properly and I'm still full up from lunch (huge cooked lunch today).

I'm browsing Mumsnet thinking of all the things I need to do. I plan to finish some work - that'll take me an hour. Then I'll tidy the kitchen and bathroom before I go to bed.

Penguin34 · 22/09/2023 19:21

Went to the gym, then tescos, now eating left over spicy chicken with coleslaw.
Having a Bacardi and lime Pepsi max (trying to avoid wine atm)
Dh and 5 ur old went to the pub for dinner.
Going to put a hair mask on and tidy my dressing room now
Nice calm evening.
Dh can do bedtime since he took her out late so I imagine they will be home very soon both full of ice team

Purplerain0505 · 22/09/2023 19:34

I’m stood outside the takeaway waiting for our order to be ready. It’s new and very popular and therefore pretty busy!

Then back home to DH and our friend who is joining us for food and bubbly. We’ll eat, sit and chat, drink and watch something silly on the tv.

Shergill15 · 22/09/2023 19:34

Been cleaning all day, DD's bedroom was a disgrace! Pizza for dinner then once she's in bed I'm going to have a glass of wine and find something cheesy/requiring minimal concentration to watch (fall asleep in front of) on TV

willowtree66 · 22/09/2023 19:37

Currently wallowing in the bath in my newly installed bathroom, we're renovating our house and knocked apart the smallest bedroom earlier, after which I walked the dogs and did a hard training session at the running track. Had a 0% lager but really fancy a large wine!
