Good Morning Mumsnet! What's everyone up to today?

[lucysmam]

I'm just brewing my first cuppa of the day then I'll drink it in my kitchen spot. There was snow here last night & even my grotty back garden looks pretty. No-one else is up yet so it's nice and quiet for now.

We're meant to be heading into town for the girls' dad today & then either Starbucks or Costa - dd2's choice. I'm not entirely sure that's a good idea though so might suggest after school another day or next weekend instead.

If we don't go out, we'll get some more decorations up & I'll carry on with my last set of peg people for the year & the girls will likely do their homework and mooch about the house.

Gammon for tea, with pineapple, egg, chips, and beans. I'll pop it in the slow cooker in a mo 😋

Later on, probably some sort of crafting for me in front of Food Network, dd2 will definitely have her weekly catch up with a friend at a different school, and I'm not sure what dd1 will do!

What about all of you? 🙂

I've been productive for a change! I did all the washing yesterday and part 1 of Team TOMM spruce up (tidying) on Patreon and now I'm part way through part 2 (cleaning). I don't know why but it seems so much easier when someone's saying "now dust for 3 minutes" and "4 minutes vacuuming - go!".

Visiting parents later, then my favourite part of the day - wine with my lovely DH 😊

I need that Tree Fairy!

I'm sitting here half keeping an eye on my pregnant fish who looks like she is going to have babies very soon- live bearer. Also wondering what I'm going to do about these Platys who are breeding like rabbits.

I feel very unmotivated and irritable today. I need to pop out and get some more yarn, once I have found the energy to shower and get dressed.

Good morning all (just!). I'm feeling a bit lazy but had work Xmas party on Friday night and it was a late one then woke up early yesterday and went to slimming world so felt like a lazy morning! Feel guilty now lol. Will have a shower in a minute then do bathroom and change bedding. Going out with friends for a Chinese tonight then back to my friend's for some mince pies and tea, they're having mulled wine.

I have to accompany my little girl to a friend's birthday party later on followed by a swim lesson.
Soo much to do but I'm lay on the sofa watching John Oliver whilst she's on a nap.

Very lazy start here. Breakfast in bed and put the gammon in the slow cooker for tea. Stupid maine coon immediately attempted to throw slow cooker on the floor so it's been relocated to the utility room where hopefully it'll be safe!
Some GF baking this afternoon and finish putting up the outdoor Christmas lights. Still trying to find an alternative to a tree indoors as the kittens will just trash one within seconds

Going for a walk in the forest to cut a tiny bit of holly for Christmas decs. (If the rain stops.)

Check on the fox I'm wildlife rehabbing.

Probably go to a cafe to do a few hours' work and maybe have a cheeky mulled wine and a bun.

Watch last night's Doctor Who.

I'm moving house next week, so I'll probably walk to the new apartment and take some stuff over so it's a bit more settled before the movers arrive.

I've just googled Knish, which I've never heard of before. They sound tasty.
