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

[lucysmam]

I'm just drinking my first cuppa of the day, in my kitchen spot. The window's open for some fresh air & I might venture into the garden with my cereal. No-one else is up yet & probably won't be for a while so it's lovely and quiet down here 😊

Today's likely to be a very quiet day here - I've not been well all week & crashed on Friday, then spent most of yesterday asleep 💤 Feeling much better today but don't want to push my luck.

I think I'll slowly potter round, tidying and doing some washing, then do some crafting - probably continue customising t-shirts for me and the girls to travel to Liverpool for the Eras Tour in. I need to look at my appraisal document for work too but I was absent when the targets were set & wasn't aware of them until about a week ago, & I've never had one before, so seems a bit unfair really. Like I've been set up to fail 🤷‍♀️

Dd2 will probably come and craft with me, although she did say her friend wanted to go for a walk, so I'll encourage that. & dd1 might go and play pool for a while.

No idea what's for tea - gammon was mentioned last night but is not defrosting 🤷‍♀️ something easy! Then another early one for me...hopefully get up less ill tomorrow & actually do something 🙄

What about all of you? 🙂

Just waiting for the hair removal cream to do it's job on my tash look a bit like a cross between Santa and a odd p*rn star at the moment. Shexy.

Off out later for my brother's birthday might pop into a few shops in his city for a couple of bits I can't get local.

Glad you're feeling a bit better today. It's been a brutal (and long!) winter for illness.

A restful day sounds like a plan.

I'm feeling slightly more energetic myself today but after several weeks of being utterly wiped, I too don't want to push my luck.

I'm talking the younger two for a canal walk and we'll grab a coffee / babychino at the local nature reserve. Daddy is meeting his friend and his kids at the bike park later so he'll take our 3 out for a few hours and hopefully knacker them all out.

Later we've decided to have a takeaway. Yet to be decided. We'll have a vote argument when they get back from biking. Will probably be McDonald's 🙄

I'm looking forward to a day of no plans. Washing is out. I'm doing some exercise at home this morning. Might do a run later. I just want a quiet day with no pressures or expectations of me

Sat in the decking of one of our caravans, drinking my cuppa and eating breakfast. Thought with it being bank holiday it would be freezing all weekend so making the most of it! Going to take the dogs down the beach soon

My sister has been staying with me since Tuesday, flies home tomorrow. It rained a bit this morning, but has cleared up now, so she is outside with her book. It’s Easter Sunday here, so we are having slow roast lamb which is on the big green egg cooking away. Have friends coming for dinner, so have hoovered, need to do a bit of tidying around and clean the bathrooms. Happy Easter!

I'm having a day in bed and I'm trying out my new circular knitting needles.

I'm just dying my hair as the greys were appearing again! First load of washing is on the line. DH is waxing his car which looks a very boring task but he enjoys it! DD1 is coming for roast lamb at lunchtime so will start the prep soon, leeks in cheese sauce is her favourite 😍 glad your feeling better today, I've been feeling ropey for weeks.

I think I’m going to do some gardening as it’s finally nice weather. I started yesterday and still have lots to do. I might try and persuade dd to come to a garden centre later, there’s a lovely one near me with a duck pond and a cafe. Later on cooking a roast and watching the f1. Love a quiet day and feeling like I really need it after a busy work week.

Morning!
Got up to watch Casualty in peace before everyone else surfaced. Made fake maccies for breakfast.
Washers on, planning to plant some seeds later.
Got our monthly sausage dog walk at the local park today.
I'm the only one working tomorrow so will chill this afternoon before watching a late f1 grand prix and crossing fingers I can get up four and a half hours later!

Make sure you take it easy today @lucysmam

I’m having an unusually sociable day today, meeting a friend for afternoon drinks in a nice beer garden and a good catch up, then off out for a carvery this evening with DD and DM. Glad the sun is shining and looking forward to being out and about.

Good morning all and @lucysmam. I’ve been up and walked the dogs early in the sunshine. Cleared the kitchen of debris from last nights dinner- we had friends round. Now back in bed for a rest whilst DH banging around in the kitchen feeding dogs and general faffing. Plan to rest and chill for the day in a sunny spot in the garden. Not sure what we are doing for dinner but I do need to make pastry for a quiche we are having at a friends lunch tomorrow.

Good morning! It's Easter Sunday for us too and I've had a leg of lamb in the slow cooker overnight, the house smells amazing 😀. We're going to take the dog out for a long walk so ds2 can get on with revision then back for dinner, wine, and telly!

I hope you start feeling a little better soon.

We’re Malmo in an airbnb at the moment, we didn’t book it ourselves so we didn’t know what it would be like, its far far too fancy for us. Theres a big group of us including mum, so its really nice for the kids as its the first time everyone has been together since we left the UK. Its also the first time mum has had all three of us together for almost a year.

This afternoon we’re all going to minigolf, so we’ve basically paid to argue about who is the worst cheater. Tonight we’re going to see a dress rehearsal for one of the eurovision acts, I will be nice to inside the arena as we’ll get to see all the staging that stays up for all acts.

I’m cooking for everyone tonight, so I’ve done any prep that I can do this morning so there’s less to do tonight.

Have a fab sunday

Happy Easter to those celebrating.

Definitely sounds like you need to rest @lucysmam.

I’ve been up a while. Had toast and honey and lots of tea for breakfast.

Just attempted to clean the extractor fan filter which was disgusting. Such an exciting Sunday morning task.

Plans for the rest of the day are a walk this morning for me. DH is going to cut the front lawn. He’s obsessed with the lawn. Dog will be happy to sit there upside front door and watch him. She is almost 14 and struggling a bit with her back legs this morning.

This afternoon I’ll potter around back garden and plant up some pots and do some weeding.

Slow cooked beef cheeks for dinner. We are attempting to use our ‘new’ Instant Pot. I say new. We bought it last July and haven’t used it yet!

Got up at 8.00 to let the dog out and put a wash on came back to bed and listened to a podcast just had a shower and now going to have a coffee and almond croissant
Going to clean my utility room and dh’s home office whilst he’s away with work
Dd is still in bed not sure what plans she has for today might see if she fancies joining me on a dog walk
Not decided what to have food wise did a shop yesterday so will decide later
No plans for the rest of the day so probably catch up on some tv and maybe do some family history research
Have a lovely day everyone

Good morning @Lucysmam and others. I hope you feel better soon and the appraisal is nothing to be feared. I have had two coffees and a cup of tea with toast, then a visit to Aldi for food. I stayed away from the middle aisle and Bluey stuff as I probably would have bought something for dgss. I stripped the bed and stuck whites in the washing machine before I went, so that's it ready now. Sadly it's wet here, so it'll be tumble dried. In an hour,I'm looking after dgs2 while dd takes dgs1 to football training. It's only for an hour or so. I'm not sure what she'll do afterwards. Possibly come in for coffee and cake. Later I'll visit mum in hospital. Chicken and leek pie for dinner. Enjoy your Sunday.

Sun is out here in the north West and we've had a lovely breakfast outside in the garden. Bought our garden sofa in Sept last year and it didn't get much use but it will this year!

Deciding on a country park to take the kids to this afternoon.

Not much enthusiasm. It was the first anniversary of my mum's passing yesterday and I'm feeling quite low 💔 A whole year passed so quickly.

I'm currently making chicken, veg chorizo kebabs and a tri colour salad to take to my sister's. We are having bbq or indoors if the weather changes.. My nephew and his partner are revealing the sex of their baby due in sept and I will get to meet my friends new grandaughter (grandmother is my sisters next door neighbour and best friend). Looking forward to it.

Morning all. You were missed yesterday Lucysmam.

DH is at football so I've got the day to myself hurrah! About to change the bed and put some laundry away (a job I hate). Will pop round to MIL for a quick cuppa later this morning.

I keep forgetting it's a bank Holiday tomorrow. Such a nice feeling when I remember. Hope the weather holds.

Will spend some time this afternoon working out what to pack for Malmö next weekend. Enjoy the show Simonjt! (Is Malmö nice?)

going for a walk in the woods with my dm and my ddog
then taking dm to tesco

I'm off to Wembley later for the National league promotion final

I’ve just been for a sea swim 😁 picked up coffees on the walk home, had a shower and now watching morning TV.

No real plans for today except hanging out washing, sit in the garden, and probably a takeaway later tonight.

I'm still lounging about in PJs while DH is gardening.

But at 2pm we drop the DC off at MILs where they will stay for a beautiful 24 hours.

The world is our oyster! We are going to go into town, have some drinks etc. I have a table at my favourite restaurant booked.
Can't bloody wait. And the lie in tomorrow....

Good morning @lucysmam and all!

It's a beautiful morning here, one load of washing out and another in the machine.

Oh is at golf so the dc and I are having a slow morning before we head to a pub garden for lunch.

Have lovely Sundays all.

Morning all . I’ve been up since 8 and aside from unpacking the dishwasher and feeding the dog I have done nothing at all . Dog is now snoring on the settee , I’m watching cricket on Sky , daughter is still in bed . Husband is at our son’s cat sitting this weekend but will be home later . I’m doing something with salmon tonight , yet to decide what .
