Good Morning Mumsnet! What's everyone doing today?

[lucysmam]

I've just made my first cuppa, I was out for drinks last night & am slightly hungover. No-one else will be up for a while so I'm just going to sit here in silence for now & enjoy it.

We're not doing much today, I don't think. Dd1 has her A Level Law homework to complete, and has told her friends she might go with them to Ikea for a wander...they're meeting at 11 though & she's still sleeping so probably won't go.

Dd2's meant to be meeting a friend for a walk but the weather's dreadful atm so I don't think they'll bother either. I'll suggest the other girl comes here but that's unlikely 🤷‍♀️

I'm going to spend the day pottering about doing not much. Maybe scroll Vinted for a couple of new tops for a short break in York we booked last night after a few shots 🙈. I'll probably clean the fridge ready for my shop on Tuesday & make some bracelets for our Eras date.

Gammon for tea, I fancy home made chips, veg and gravy with it 😋. Then early showers, an episode of Lucifer for me, and then an early early night 💤💤

What about all of you? 🙂

Morning, @Lucysmam hope your head's not too bad!

First coffee for me, having just put stuff for a chilli in the slow cooker.

Need to go to the dump (again) later with a load of cardboard for recycling, so that's not a highlight for today.

Good morning @lucysmam , it’s cold (4° but feels like 2° according to my phone) and wet.
I have been out with the dog for an hour, stripped the bed and put the washing on and sorted out something for dinner.
I’m having a coffee and toast before tackling several deliveries that are stacked up in the hall (mainly bits for my new shed that isn’t completely finished yet) and squeezing the boxes into the recycling bin.
Dog is asleep and I don’t have anything much planned for the rest of the day.
Dinner is chicken in red wine thanks to M&S, roast potatoes and veggies and perhaps I will open a bottle of wine? I rarely drink but the weather’s so miserable I might light the wood burner early afternoon and enjoy a glass 🍷
Enjoy the silence while it lasts!

I am hungover too @lucysmam

Feel awful! Just eating some toast and hoping it helps shift the sick feeling before the in laws get here!

Weather is crap so we're just heading for a pub lunch.

Roll on bedtime

Morning @lucysmam and all the weekend gang

@lucysmam Sounds like you need a nice easy morning! We find Dirolyte is the best hangover cure.
How’s all the ERAS prep going?

Weather is horrible but hoping to take my eldest sons girlfriend into London for a look in Libertys, they were out last night though so she may not feel like it! I’ll try the dirolyte trick on them too I think. I’ve got 3 boys so it’s really nice to have other lovely female energy in the house!
I’ve stuck the slow cooker on with a chilli in, so don’t need to think about dinner.

Have a good day all!!

@LadyMonicaBaddingham great name!! Tony is such a fiend!!
We clearly had the same idea re slow cooker chilli!

@FayKnights there's no diarolyte in the house & I am certainly not going out in that to get some. Maybe breakfast then a nap on the sofa 💤

Erm...Eras prep is going ok. I had to rethink my outfit because I shortened my dress toooo much, so have bought some lovely beaded shorts & a cami. Dd1 was adamant her dress would fit but it doesn't so she needs to find something. Other than those hiccups, it's all coming together 😊

@dontforgetme I don't feel too bad - just a bit sicky & tired. Hopefully you feel better after your toast 🤞

Miserable outside but had a good outdoor day yesterday so after a quick pop out to butcher I will get music homework, roast, board games, out for d very rainy day in. I have many crosswords to finish so that should keep us occupied.

Washing out but it’s got a bit overcast now, church, lunch with friends, catching up with some recorded stuff on tv….lazy day here.

Morning! Our plans have been scuppered by DD’s Sunday club being cancelled due to lack of staff. Woe. So now we need to find a way to keep her occupied while it buckets down outside.
She’s currently having a bath with her baby doll, who got covered in mud during a brief foray into the garden.
Might gird our loins and attempt soft play later. Pray for me!
The plan is to get a takeaway for lunch as a treat - DP is keen on fish and chips but I fancy Chinese. We shall see…

Morning @lucysmam and all - happy Sunday.
Am so sick of this rain but managed to drag myself out for a 10k run along the Thames.
Just finished breakfast and will head out to pick up some supplies for dinner shortly.
Will sort out my holiday packing later apart from that a lazy day.
Enjoy your Sunday everyone.

Good morning everyone, happy Sunday. Just me, dd9 and dd19 awake at the moment. We’ve just had sausages sandwiches and I’m about to go and make another cup of tea.

I’ve no idea what everyone else in the house plans to do today but I’m going to go to b&q, homebase and the range to get some wallpaper samples for the living room. I also need to do a quick swizz round the house to keep it looking clean and iron dd9’s uniform.

I think dh might carry on with the garden but it depends on whether he’s hungover or not as he went out last night. He did mention inviting dd9’s school friend round today as he enjoys having a couple of coffees with her dad and they sit in the kitchen talking while the girls play but again I imagine that depends on the hangover 😄

We’re having roast gammon for tea then it’s homework, showers and an early night ready for school and work.

Morning! Yesterday by this time, I had walked the dog, put the laundry away, painted the playroom and had cakes in the oven.

Today, I'm on my first tea after waking up at 9:50! I needed it, I've been running on empty for weeks, but now I feel all disoriented and don't know what I'm meant to be doing 😂

DD is poorly in bed, so having done all my jobs yesterday, I think today will be reading my book and a bit of coursework. She probably won't want to eat much and DS prefers quick food so I'll just have a bath later before a busy week.

I was hungover yesterday so got absolutely nothing done. I'm still feeling it today!

Just about to have breakfast then I will sort the school clothes out.

It's not raining here so might take the youngest out on his bike for a bit. Although I did promise him more Fortnite time today so he will hold me to that.

Don't really know what to be doing with myself tbh!

In laws are coming round for dinner so should be tidying. I haven't even got in the shower yet so feeling groggy. Luckily DD and DS are playing nicely together with her new birthday lego. It amazes me how much patience she has with him.

At my mother's at the moment with my toddler she's been up since the birds chorus so hopefully it'll be nap time soon.

I'm going to go shopping this afternoon all by myself. Isn't it sad that im excited about a trip to Tesco's Lidl and boots without her and faffing getting her in and out of the car.

Good morning lucysmam and all.
As we're in the middle of the Snooker, that's mostly what I will be doing today, watching the greats.

However, we are also decorating the study/library in slow motion, doing one wall at a time, so I am sitting in the middle of boxes full of books and the sofa is backed on to the fireplace.
I will do the odd bit of painting in between. Luckily, it's all the same colour, shelves, walls, rads, the lot, so I will be able to just slap it on.

DH is pottering round (he isn't interested in Snooker) and will do some spuds for the air fryer later. The rest of tonight's dinner is left over roast lamb and veg from yesterday. There would be left over roast spuds, but he can't resist them and they have gradually disappeared!

Good morning Lucysmam and others. I have been up since half six and dgs1,who is here on a sleepover, since seven. We had first breakfast then and after that was playing with cars, going into the garden to listen to birds and watch the awful Vlad and Niki on YouTube. Limited viewing only!
Afterwards we went to Tesco for the ingredients to make slime. However it wasn't very successful. Too runny. Dgs1 was perfectly happy though. We've had second breakfast of sausages on a roll and when he's finished, I'll take him home. We have had a good time. Later I'll visit mum in hospital then do nothing til tomorrow morning when it's up at 5.15 for early childcare. Enjoy your day

Just come back from a yoga class and a 1 hour walk (in the bloody wind - my face is freezing).

Having a peppermint tea on the sofa at the moment.

Got an eyebrow threading appointment shortly, then a first date this afternoon with a man I matched with on a dating app.

Morning everyone.

Im on a tea break at work. Had a busy morning so far. On a long shift today and just feel awful. Sore all over. Once I get back again will be fine.

DH is taking kids to clubs today and plans to bbq tea tonight for a late tea. We were meant to have it yesterday but ended up with a late lunch.

Once home tonight I plan to sort uniforms that are currently drying, shower then early night.

Good day all.
I wa sup at about 10 after red went to one of dd1's friends 18th party last night. Feel very hungover. Dropped dd2 off to her dad, dh has gone to take the dogs for a cold and muddy walk. About to go and dismantle a bed I've sold on Facebook market place ready for collection and then build the new one. And I might start an upcycle on a dresser I got for £10 from our local recycling centre.
Sausage and lentil thing for tea. Perfect for the wintry conditions we have today. Thoroughly fed up as I want to get in the garden and plant some stuff!

I’m currently on the tube on the way to Liverpool St to do an outdoor escape room type thing with taco’s! A bit weird but should be fun!
We're meeting two friends at a pub who are doing it with us along with Bill the sausage dog.

Apparently it takes a couple of hours so we’re doing that then heading to a pub for a few hours to build appetites back up and then going for dinner.

We left home in drizzle but it looks like the sun has come out now so will be a good day!

Hi everyone, I hope you're all having a lovely weekend.

We've just got home. Took DC swimming, then went to Asda cafe for brunch. Pancakes for DC and cooked breakfast for DH and I! I bought myself some makeup, and DC got new water bottles.
Then headed to Sainsburys to return some shoes and pick up bits for tea- we're having tacos tonight. Poor youngest DC fell in a puddle in the car park so also had to buy some clean pants 😅luckily she was in a dress so could do without leggings until we got home.
Now we're back, I've made a cup of tea and I'm going to play the Sims on my laptop. I have DC youngest snuggled up next to me playing a coding game on the Ipad. DH and elder DC are playing on the Xbox.
I've got a wash on, no chores to do, looking forward to a cosy, chilled afternoon, an early tea and an early night.

I have a friend from overseas coming to visit in a few weeks, so I'm doing a deep clean and chucking out stuff and washing windows and doing other chores I'm usually happy to ignore.

I'm going to hoover and mop the sitting room floor shortly and then I'll pop into town to buy mince for dinner (I forgot to buy it yesterday when I was doing my shopping). Dinner will be chilli and then strawberries and ice cream for afters. I'll relax with a glass of wine and some TV later.

Been out with dog .Dropped things I sold on Vinted at parcel locker .
Made batch of scotch eggs in air fryer .
Cooked roast pork joint and prepared potatoes ,veg and yorkshires .
Just having a wee glass of rose before I tackle phase 2 of cooking with radio 2 for company 😁
DH and doggie snoozing on sofa "watching" some football thing ...love Sundays ❤️xxx

Morning all. I'm at work on call and have been since 7am.
We have my parents coming to stay for a week today so they will be there when I get back. My Dad is 94 tomorrow and we are having a little party for him. My sister is coming as a surprise and also my brother who is flying in from Texas today-they haven't seen him for 3 years so it will be a bit emotional I think!
