What’s Happening In Your House?

[RabbitsRock]

I can’t see a thread from LucysMam today so thought I would start one. Hope everyone’s having a good Sat so far.
I worked 10 til 2 - so busy! We’re selling loads of Christmas stuff plus there’s a sale on some Halloween products & I sold loads of decorating materials too. Really want to redecorate our whole house! Popped to Tescos after work for a few bits then home for a late lunch & finished loading the dishwasher. DH & I are off to a show tonight. We were going to eat out first but decided to save that for another time & grab Burger King instead then a drink at Wetherspoons which is just opposite the theatre.

Kids have been fighting all day so I'm 1 bottle of wine in and losing my voice from yelling. Apart from that I've put all the autumn decorations up so there's light up leaf garlands and pumpkin candles all over the place, as well as an obnoxious amount of orange glitter. Probably do something simple for dinner and have a cosy night as it's so cold today, I have a new book to read. Thinking of doing some Halloween baking but quite honestly don't think I've got the mental energy for it

We were supposed to be having a quiet day to recover from colds but instead we went on a long walk exploring the area around our new house (we’re moving in December after some building work is completed) and then drove to pick up a gorgeous G-Plan sideboard I found on Facebook marketplace which fits perfectly in our new hall. Now I’m having a bath listening to DP and DD tidying up and talking about what Lego they’re going to do, then we’re having tomato orzo for tea and we’ll watch Strictly together. My favourite time of the week.

My dd had a football match this morning. Then I went with ds and his football team to a lazer tag game, parents against kids out in a muddy woods but it was really fun!
Now I'm home i feel like I can't get warm.
Getting a takeaway delivered tonight from the pizza shop. I'm procrastinating on here because my kitchen is in a shocking state and I don't want to face it 😒

We've been out today, got back about an hour ago. I'm trying to have a nap on the sofa but the kids keep bugging me for stuff even though they are supposed to be happily colouring in, in the kitchen. Somehow DH has snuck off and managed to go for a lie down on the bed, so I'm the go to parent. How the fuck has that happened? Again!

Enjoy the show Rabbits

Nothing too much here, we are nearly finished in having a kitchen put in and just starting getting the outside of house repainted and windows done and so a bit of sorting things for that today.

DD went to do her punting job but after an hour got sent home as river unsafe with the weather.

DS has been doing an impressive job of eating DDs birthday red velvet cake, 1/4 of the big cake and 1 cupcake this morning. 🤔He's asd and very thin so good he's eating but a little 😱he can eat so much buttercream. Finished now.

Had a toasted brie and grape sandwich for lunch and having potato and broccolli bake for dinner.

Dh took youngest Ds swimming this morning. I've been catching up on uni work. Middle Ds has gone to a friend's house for the evening. Bit boring really. Dh is cooking tea of pasta and meatballs. Hoping to go for a walk somewhere tomorrow for a change of scene.

I've had a very twee and smug day 😉. We've taken the dc pumpkin picking. Tonight steak and a film.

We are off to the Cinema to watch the new Trolls film soon.

We have been out for lunch and then food shopping.
13 year old Dd has been to a football match with her dad instead and won’t be home until later on.

I’ve had a smug day too! 😀

Quiet morning of housework, then DH and I took the dog to the local pub and spent about 3 hours talking to total strangers. Was lovely.

Walked the dogs and sorted 4 stables for winter. We’ve had horrendous storms the last few days and had to bring the horses in earlier than planned. The fields are flooded and I was soaked through. The bath is running and it’s salmon, broccoli and cous cous for dinner.

Unusually, I'm completely alone in the house! DH and kids all out at various things. Have done some useful stuff and now chilling out with a cup of tea.

Ds at work , dd sulking off a hangover in her room ,

Dh has cleaned and re laid the log burner and is currently on PlayStation

I did some work this morning , then cleaning and a boxing workout . Now noodling in the bath with a glass of wine before we all get together to watch the rugby

I've turned into a different person today. up at 7, did a hit workout then walked the dog. Been out all day and I've done 20,000 steps. I don't know what's happened to me!
Had lunch out so just going to have a light tea. Sat relaxing with a magazine now.

Dd watching elemental, Ds playing roblox DH has just made us all sausage toasties after a red hot bath.... Nice chilled day. I am playing sims 4 later I reckon when the kids are in bed 😂😂

Been pumpkin carving with DC all afternoon after a very lazy morning, DP has retreated to the pub to watch the rugby, just had tea and I’m now relaxing with the DC waiting to start bath and bed! Roll on some alone time 😂

I’m trapped under 2 kittens with a glass of wine after a day blitzing the house. The youngest 2 are out playing football with a neighbour’s grandson, the teens and DH are out with friends. Lazy dinner of nachos planned when it gets dark, followed by a long bath, some tv then reading my book in bed (probably with boy kitten. Girl kitten likes to sleep with dc)

Been so lazy all day..only time I've left the house was to go to Sainsburys. Had soup and bread for lunch and can't even be bothered to cook a proper dinner. Did use my new body exfoliator this morning which smelt nice :') I vouch to have a busier day tomorrow and get to yoga early on. It has been quite cosy being in all day with the rain outside, watching films, but I must get out even for a walk to move my legs!

We’re usually at football training all morning but it was cancelled because of the flooding. So a proper lazy day.

Made chicken soup and cheese and black pepper bread for lunch, then some cookies this afternoon. Did some washing. Went for a walk with DS3 and the dog, picked some apples. Watched Masterchef with DS2 and 3.

Bangers and mash for tea, then watching Bake Off episode 2.

Lazy day, I’m watching tv, waiting on Strictly starting, dh cooking dinner and ds and dd getting ready to go out with friends.

Chilled evening waiting for my tea that DH is making. Tickling my dd's feet while she watches Hey Duggee.
DS is at a sleepover tonight. Quiet one for me!

Teenagers. So many. Each child has friends over so now I have 8 here. Son is back from uni and I’m feeding him and trying not to keep hugging him. He is happy chilling and avoiding all the 14 and 17yo girls.
I hope all the spares go home soon…!

I’m on the sofa full of cold watching Harry Potter will watch strictly

Dd is at work till 10.30

Im having a little stretch out on the sofa cos I’ve eaten too much tea.
Roll on bedtime and the kids are going to bed.
