I'm doom scrolling, waiting for everyone to shower so I can go to bed in peace 💤💤 . I've been scrolling for some new paint brushes but not really sure what to buy - my current ones are from The Works & are knackered, but I don't know what I'm looking for really 🤷‍♀️

Dd1's just in the shower & will hopefully be done very soon! Dd2's faffing with her hair and practising make up, as usual. She was doing maths homework but has packed up for the night now.

What's going on at yours?

We just had to break the news to our DC that their Grandad (my fil) died this afternoon from his cancer. So we're all mopping each other up.

Sorry to hear that, that's really tough Flowers

Good luck with the Friday night A&E wait sprigatito

Had a Chinese takeaway (roast pork with mixed veg) then a hot cross bun. Done some hoovering, DH took over.

DD back from school A level mock week and has a 3rd university offer, came in at normal offer then she phoned them and got it reduced to contextual. Couple of loads of washing on.

DH is working. I'm watching the rugby with a glass of wine after making ginger chicken udon for dinner. DC (20 and 15) are about to take our 3 dogs out for a walk (15yo just takes our two old ones around our street).

Sat holding a sick bowl next to my 3 year old who is poorly and vomiting, going to be a long night I think. We had tickets for a event a our local farm tomorrow so I'm hoping they will let us swap them for a different day!

DH is on the PS4, I've had a soak in the bath, and am now laying in bed debating going to sleep or continue reading. Dog is flat out at the bottom of the bed. Up at 5am for day 6 of work, so I think sleep will win!

I was about to say whaaaat??? It's 9.15 on a Friday night.

Have now seen you're up at 5am so I'd go to bed, read for approx. 5 seconds then promptly fall asleep. 🥱

Friday night means late curry after son gets in from youth group

frozendaisy · 02/02/2024 21:21

@lucysmam I know almost everything about paintbrushes want some help?

LetsGoOutside · 02/02/2024 21:21

Just finished a cup of coffee and eaten several cakes. Laying in bed looking forward to the weekend with the family.

gingercat02 · 02/02/2024 21:22

Glass of wine, watching the rugby

MoiraRoseVibes · 02/02/2024 21:22

Sitting on sofa with DH watching the first season of The Sopranos (second time).

Just had one of the pecan and rum brownies I made this afternoon and a cup of tea.

Kids in bed. Ahhh.

Watching France v Ireland. Gin in hand.

frozendaisy · 02/02/2024 21:31

We are in a family heap.
Watching TV
Eating mini eggs and 2 of us are drinking beer and wine.

DrunkenElephant · 02/02/2024 21:32

I had a Uni interview today, and after stressing about it all week, not sleeping well and dreaming about it I think I did well! I’m very glad it’s over, but I feel proud of myself tonight.

Treated myself to a takeaway and had a glass of something nice after picking my son up from his friends. He’s gaming now and I’m going to fall into bed soon and hopefully have a lie in!

ssd · 02/02/2024 21:32

Im watching the documentary about Nicola Bulley. TBH im still unsure exactly what happened to her, there was no trace of anyone slipping into the river. Its very sad.

I do art brushes mainly
But can do decorating ones.

Cass art "acrylic" brushes I would go for a tapered brush.

Spend a bit more, clean them well, let them air dry. You won't need to buy another set for a while.

SydneyCarton · 02/02/2024 21:35

Just back from a climbing session, the highlight of which was my five year old complaining about his harness and shouting “IT IS HURTING MY PENIS!!!” at the top of his voice 😬. Children now eating quiche and watching The Worst Witch while I seem to have finished half a bottle of wine in about twenty minutes (I give up alcohol for Lent and it is so early this year following right on the heels of Dry January that I’m going to spend the next two weeks basically drunk 🤣)

Blueeyedmale · 02/02/2024 21:35

Ds is playing fifa in his room and I'm sat on the sofa watching tv

Teasie123 · 02/02/2024 21:36

@thirdistheonewiththehairychest , awe.im sorry. That's a difficult nite for you all
🤗🤗🤗

lucysmam · 02/02/2024 21:37

@frozendaisy definitely art brushes I'm after. I'll look up Cass art acrylic brushes in the morning, with my cuppa. Thanks very much!
