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

[lucysmam]

I'm just drinking my first cuppa & am about to text dd1 to see if she's up. Yep, lazy, but dd2's still sleeping so don't want to announce or go up & end up waking her up too. Need to put the pork in the slow cooker too.

Dd1's off to see The 1975 with her friend later on so needs to be ready when they get here to pick her up. Friends dad is driving them there and back, which is lovely of him & saves me sitting up worrying!

Dd2 has a bit of English homework to finish off ready for back to school tomorrow so I'll see if she wants to come sit with me and do it.

I have a drawer to sort out, that doesn't open, in the bedside cabinet I put together for dd2. No idea what's up with it 🤷‍♀️ I did the three of them following the destructions & the other two are fine.

Also have some washing to be done, a utensil rail to put up, and some peg people to quickly finish so I can varnish them.

So it'll be a steady but productive day here before early showers, and chill with something crafty for me, then early nights ready for back to normal tomorrow.

What about all of you? 🙂

Just up and listening to Sunday Love Songs with Liza Tarbuck. Have blubbed already :(

Off for Sunday lunch this afternoon for my best friends birthday - 7 of us so should be good.

It's tipping it down with rain here and looks to be set for the day.

My turn to get up with DS today and I just sent him in to wake up DH. I might go and make my second coffee of the day. DS is playing with some toys. It’s very peaceful!

Weather isn’t as bad as yesterday so we will try and get out for a walk. I also need to wash my hair (I was too lazy to do it yesterday and now it seriously needs some attention) and I’d like to get on the exercise bike so I’m just wondering what order to do it all in. School uniform is all sorted for tomorrow and I did loads of housework yesterday so I can relax more today. I recently spent two weeks with Covid and then had a few days off for half term so I’m prepping myself to get back to a full week of work!

It’s a day of writing for uni here. Starting off with my smoothie and toast then I think I’ll get back into bed with the laptop. DH is away doing a trail riun and dd2 will be working shortly so I should get a good4 or 5 hours in.

I’ve got a butchers steak pie for an easy dinner. Fancy doing an online spin class then a big bath at some point but will see how it goes.

Morning all, I'm actually here on the thread in the morning for once!

Football training is off as the pitches are waterlogged, so we're off to Maccies for breakfast when DS1 gets out of the shower. It's the start of half term here but I'm working all week so I thought it would be nice to go out for breakfast today.

No plans for the rest of the day really, need to pop to Tesco to get some stuff for dinner tonight, I've got some plants I want to pot up, we've got Gladiators to watch on catch up tonight and I want to paint my nails before work tomorrow.

Just drinking my tea inbetween packing for my daughters, they are off the grandparents for the night and being picked up in 45 mins. Eldest is in bed poorly, sons been away since Friday afternoon (no idea where) so it's just me a dh. Think we are just going to have a chilled one today and start Yellowstone and eat junk food.

Morning @lucysmam
I've been awake since about 7, got up at 8:30. Just had coffee and breakfast and am about to get dressed to go yo PiYo.
I'm not sure about plans for today. the weather looks reasonable atm so maybe out in the garden

Not much. It's pouring down. I had a lesion removed from chest and arm on Friday, can't believe the level of pain! Have to take it easy for the next 2 weeks, then back for suture removal. Normally,it would be dogs on the beach.

Shopping been delivered no missing items-woo hoo. Got a couple of things to u iron, a bit of lesson prep to finish, got parcel to return to New Look and hopefully going for a walk. Trying to keep busy. Have a good day everyone.

Morning 🙂
Just having a little rest after my morning swim. Going to take a trip into town to a space nk for a browse, need some shampoo and a new moisturiser - neither Dh nor ds are interested so I might also get myself lunch while I’m out.
Going to a party this afternoon and then we’ll be home for a roast tonight.
Everyone is back to work and school tomorrow after half term so we’ll have a quick sort out later on to make sure ds is ready.
dd2 is off to work shortly.

Went into work at 6.30 for a couple of hours but now home and about to get ready to take my employees out fir bottomless brunch, Christmas night out😂

Morning everyone, it is the most beautiful day here, cold, around 3 degrees I think but the sun is shining. I went for a walk with a friend and saw a rabbit and the birds were singing so loudly. Feels like spring and it's wonderful. Im heading to church soon then this afternoon I'm going to drag the kids to B&Q but also for a walk along the river and to find a new coffee placed I've heard about. DD2 has a project to finish for school so there will be a bit of printing and sticking and there's a pile of uniforms and work clothes to iron but I don't mind ironing as it gives me uninterrupted time to watch something on Netflix. I hope everyone has a restorative and restful Sunday.

Morning all
Today is DP's birthday so we'll do whatever he chooses although he's currently on the ps5. I've got some housework to do and the uniforms to sort ready for back to school tomorrow, I'm back to work tomorrow after annual leave too.
I've got a gammon in the slow cooker for tea tonight followed by birthday cake then afterwards a glass of wine and tv before bed.

Morning! On my second brew already! Coursework for me and homework for the DC today. I finished my book yesterday so I always have a day where I um and ah about which book to read next, and end up never choosing one. Haven't bothered buying stuff for a roast as we've been a bit rough all week, so freezer tea and early night I think. I'm always exhausted the first week back into the routine of school runs and evening activities. I've enjoyed finishing work and having no driving around to do this week!

Morning @lucysmam and all!

I'm just pottering around waiting for the food shop to arrive. Tumble dryer is on with the last of the school uniform, back to routine tomorrow ☹️
Ive got some clothes to list on vinted and 3 parcels to post off, been a good week for vinted this week!

After lunch we are off to the cinema, taking our own snacks to save money!

Fish pie for dinner and kale. Might make a banana bread in the slow cooker aswell for snacks in the week.

Early night tonight for back to school tomorrow. I haven't read all week so need to get some reading done!

Have a lovely Sunday all!

Just finished drinking my morning cups of tea, shall make lunch soon, and then we're going to a family skating event run by a local ice hockey team.
DS is playing minecraft with the neighbour's grandson who is visiting for half term (unfortunately his half term is a week earlier than ours so DS won't be able to play all week with him) and DD is getting up, reluctantly, and getting ready for circus school.

Going to do the food shop later and hopefully do some studying if I get some peace and quiet.

Just heard youngster make his toast and jam (I presume), will make coffee shortly quick sweep around, go local butcher to get roast dinner meat.

Then inspire young minds somehow!

Morning lucysmam & everyone. In bed just finishing a cuppa. DD15 decided to grill chicken dippers for breakfast, as you do! Not much planned for today. I’m going to make a sausage casserole in the slow cooker. It was funny because just after I’d decided to make it, what should appear on my Facebook memories? I think I made it about 5 years ago. Seem to remember there’s no Call The Midwife tonight. We’ll no doubt watch Greys Anatomy.

Got up at a leisurely 9am, having had a cup of tea in bed & starting to read Hamnet. Bliss!

Then got up & got breakfast all round. DH taking DS1 to play football soon (sadly not rained off), then when they get back we are off to York for a couple of days! It is our half term week. So looking forward to it, have been wanting to go for ages.

Ironing a few things.
Going for a walk later meeting a new friend. I like walking in countryside it will give us time to chat. Hoping to eat together later.

Morning everyone. I'm still in bed. I just had a cup of tea. I'm going to get up shortly and make bacon and egg rolls. Then I'm planning on dying my hair. Off to MIL for lunch. Then home to get organised for going back to work tomorrow. Might do a bit of food prep for the week. I'm not looking forward to going back to work. The dc have an inset day, so at least it won't be too bad for them!

My toddler is spending the day with his grandparents so I have a day to do things with my eldest that are difficult to manage with a two year old around. We will build Lego and do some word searches.

I'll also have a long bath and paint my toenails.

Boring to some but pretty perfect to me.

I really need to get up , we are going to a NT place at 11 I want to make some sandwiches to take so I shouldn't be lying here procrastinating but I did get in at 3am that's my excuse ! When we get back about 4ish I want to go out for a nice roast then do a bit of housework then settle down in front of the tv for cuddles and an early night .

Good morning @lucysmam & everyone, it was a wet start to Sunday then the skies cleared but now it’s misty and murky so I have no idea what the weather’s going to be like today!
So far I have emptied and tidied out the cupboard under the kitchen sink and the one next to it where I keep tea towels and things like plastic bags.
I’ve put the dishwasher on and prepped everything for lunch (pork escalopes, smashed new potatoes with lemon, roast parsnips and carrots, peas and broccoli) There’s melting middle chocolate pudding if DH is still hungry for pudding.
He’s walking the dog to the village sometime this morning, at the moment he’s cursing about trying to mend a shattered garden pot, his idea to mend it not mine 🤷🏼‍♀️
I’ll do some more n my online drawing course in a bit, after I’ve had a coffee and probably try to finish the pair of socks I’m knitting while watching something on YouTube.

also listening to liza tarbuck presenting love songs, quite emotional
rain is due to stop,
planning on putting a wash out
meet dm

Husband off to his own church, me - endless coffees, looking at a gorgeous green hillside with just one house in view, some day trip ( not very planned - we love last minutes adventures ) and the usual day to day cooking, tidying
, laundry ( things I really do not consider worth mentioning )
