The washing machine is on.

DD has got music on upstairs but I can only barely hear it.

I’ve actually put my AirPods in and have music in as it’s uncharacteristically quiet with DH at work and DS out with friends.

Watching MAFS Aus.

Dh is chatting with ds about football as he's showering him
Dog is crying as I've left some chicken on the side for the fox later and he wants it
YouTube is wittering away on the tv
Ds is eating an Easter egg.

University challenge on tv. Big ginger layabout on lap ( cat), ds 17 playing with his mates ( audibly) on Xbox, ds 19 sitting on the sofa too. Dd 15 at friend's house.

Have just eaten a Twirl and am watching University Challenge.

Sat in bed with anxious 7yo DS2 who is listening to an audiobook while he tries to get to sleep.
Can hear DH and FIL talking downstairs and the TV going on full blast because FIL is going deaf and won't admit it.
DS1 being very quiet in his room so can't hear anything apart from the odd throat clearing.
DCat has just finished the evening zoomies and has probably zonked out somewhere comfy until about 3am when she'll start zooming again.

Sort your life out is on catchup, hubby is playing COD and the teens are upstairs gaming.

Jewelanemone · 01/04/2024 21:12

DH and I are in bed as we're both back at work tomorrow. I'm doing this, DH is reading something on his phone about a TV series he's watching. We've got our star) nebula night light on and Alexa is playing ocean sounds. We're drinking tea and eating Monty Bojangles Choccy Scoffy.

Tisfortired · 01/04/2024 21:13

Kids are asleep, house is tidy and I’m (half) watching This Town with the last of my Easter egg.

KeepingItUnderTheRadar · 01/04/2024 21:13

Washing machine and dryer are on which I can hear in the distance.

Ds1 I can hear taking on the Xbox. Judging by the thumps and bangs I believe ds2 is using the punchbag in his room.

Dh and ds3 are in bed so all quiet there.

Wond3rment · 01/04/2024 21:13

Netflix on in the background. DH and dogs asleep on the sofa across from me.

Teenagers gaming

Sunquest · 01/04/2024 21:16

TV is on, DH is on his laptop wearing his headphones. Cat is snoozing on the chair.

@OutOfTheHouse Schlager Champions sounds something so bad it might be good 😋

cassiatwenty · 01/04/2024 21:18

It's raining outside and someone is blabbering on the radio, and I hear cars driving. So happy this Monday is finally over, I barerly got thru it 😅

illiad · 01/04/2024 21:20

Watching World War II: From the frontlines, dishwasher is on, playing a freebie online poker tournament (not that I'm any good!).

ChicagoBears · 01/04/2024 21:20

We’re all flaked out on the sofa watching Migration. We’ve been cycling today and it was pretty gruelling.

Nibbling on crudities and delicious homemade hummus.

MaryasBible · 01/04/2024 21:21

DP is playing something on his PC. DS is being quite noisy for him, stomping around upstairs. I need to get ready for bed as I feel rubbish and have work tomorrow.

PokemonandMissingSocks · 19/04/2024 20:15

The Simpsons is on.

gimmegimmegimmeagin · 19/04/2024 20:21

Absolutely nothing. Peace. DH out. Kids out. Dog sleeping. TV off. Bliss

RefreshingCandour · 19/04/2024 20:23

Bill Bailey Oz on telly - it’s a bit dull

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 19/04/2024 20:24

Team America: World Police

Don't ask... 🙄

SheepAndSword · 19/04/2024 20:26

I'm working myself up to go to the shop in a sec before it gets dark as I forgot something.

Then tea and some lovely chocolate 😋

Actually that's an incentive to put my shoes on...

SevenSeasOfRhye · 19/04/2024 20:33

Vintage TOTP on the TV, cat is washing his bum.

Sunquest · 19/04/2024 20:48

Gardeners World on the TV. DH is watching a film on his laptop wearing headphones and sniffing and sighing and suffering with his man cold.
