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

[lucysmam]

I've just got up after an awful night's sleep. I have one of those annoying, does nothing, tickly coughs 🙄 My first cuppa's just brewing & I'm going to enjoy it in silence!

I'm in wait mode this morning - going out for drinks later to celebrate my favourite ex-colleague's new job, so won't do anything big 🤣

I'll get the washer going & tidy round after my cuppa. Hopefully the weather will improve - it's looking quite grey out there atm. I bought a new black marker too so will probably finish customising our t-shirts to wear to the Eras Tour in four weeks. I'm so bloody excited, even if I am having an outfit crisis 😱. Un-excitingly, there are a couple of bills I need to pay online too so they'll be my first job of the day.

Dd1's working at 2, so she likely won't do anything much either. I expect she'll lay in bed until the last possible minute 🤷‍♀️

Dd2 wanted to go try on a blazer type jacket in town so hopefully her Dad will do that with her, although I'm not convinced he's the best person for fashion advice 🤣

Later it'll be home & do nothing much for me. There's loads I want to do but once I stop, I'm done, lately.

What about all of you? 🙂

Morning :)

I've done the kitchen, put a load of washing on and sorted the dogs. Everyone else is still in bed.

Have one of DS friends staying so will make pancakes for breakfast.

Taking kids to Smyths later to spend some birthday money and am thinking of doing a BBQ for tea.

Hope you have a fun evening out!

Morning.
Am writing this from my bed, as usual. Just had tea so far not had toast yet. Weather meant to be lovely this weekend 🏞 hopefully get out and enjoy it later.

Morning! I also had a bad sleep, due to a sore throat.
In bed with DC who's playing online Sesame Street games.
Will be picking up shopping for my mum who's ill and making her lunch.
Then I'm playing a concert with my amateur orchestra this evening. Just realised the sore throat and lack of sleep is not going to help!! Will be loading up on ibuprofen...

Morning! Had a lovely run/walk with the dog, done a bit of ironing and now just cooking some bacon in the air fryer.

DD has rehearsal this avo, I’ll pop to town to see if I can get her some new jeans. Then we’re off to see friends for the night.

Happy Saturday everyone

Morning.
Just off for a swim in the sea and then doing a tour of our town's open gardens day.

Morning everyone, feeling a bit sorry for myself today, the weather is lovely here at the moment but I’m struggling to get over tonsilitis, currently feeling like a zombie so having to have a restful weekend.

Morning lucysmam & everyone. Still in bed but getting up soon to pop to Asda. They have a new Sensodyne whitening toothpaste half price - it’s got good reviews so hoping my local store stock it. Need to unload & load the dishwasher & might have leftover KFC for breakfast. I have 3 more doses of a cystitis remedy to take, although I’m not entirely sure my symptoms are caused by a UTI. Waiting for the surgery to phone with an appointment. DH is only working for a couple of hours, then this afternoon we’re both going to collect DD15 from her GF’s. The kitchen floor is way overdue for a mop! Not sure about tea yet. DD15 will probably ask for McDonalds. I fancy trying a pizza restaurant on the edge of town which does takeaways. They do deliver but it’s only just up the road. BGT & the 1% club will be tonight’s tv I think. Have a lovely Saturday all 🙂

Morning Lucysmam and All.

Going to pop to the vets shortly to pick up cat’s flea stuff (he won’t be happy with me later - after 15 years he still gives me ‘the hates’ after he’s had it!) and must post niece’s card for her 20th birthday.

DD (12) is recovering from a horrible virus that I also had 2 weeks ago and I’m also struggling a bit with my period (thank you menopause) so after we get back from the vets will probably take it v easy today. I’d like to get out in the garden later to do a few bits but I may just sit on my patio and read my book instead!!

Woke up at 6 which is so annoying when I’d hoped to lie in and already feeling tired now. We are going to the allotment for a couple of hours then cafe for lunch to take to see my mam. Need to get a few groceries and just got a £5 voucher for Lidl so will call there on way home.

I’m now on holiday til the 30th 😬

Churchview haven’t you been put off by the reports of all the sewage being dumped in the sea? I live near the beach but don’t think I’ll be going in the water this year 😢

Both young adult DD’s out of the house, so nice and quiet. First coffee of the day whilst checking emails, browsing SC. DP watching a programme on YouTube about bunkers in Switzerland 😩.
painting the kitchen shortly, have been putting it off for weeks. This afternoon moving some furniture around for SIL, then food shopping followed by a costa.
tonight finish watching The gathering, with the rest of the wine I opened last night.
15 mile walk tomorrow so conserving my energy for that.

Good Evening!!!
it’s already dark, cold and miserable day today, and my DS been sick with a cold! But hopefully sum comes tomorrow
enjoy your day ladies

Morning all

Got woken up with the neighbour doing DIY (i think flooring) at 8.20am!!
Washing now on the line. Need to do a food shop, gym and get in the garden for some rays.....

Its lovely here today, 23° already and sunny.

I’ve been out with the dog, my husbands been on a bike ride, our sons at the park with the neighbours, our daughter is playing in the garden, I’ve got the paddling pool out, but I’m hoping to wait a little longer before she goes in as suncream topup is at ten anyway. I found a shop that sells non-alcoholic brew dog here, so I’m having one of those and some crisps in the garden. A grab bag obviously, I’m not some sort of monster who only eats a teeny tiny bag of crisps.

I think we’re having a lazy stay at home saturday this week, we’ve had a very busy few weeks so it will be nice to do nothing.

We’ve just started watching the dead boy detective agency, so we’re going to watch another episode later.

This sounds lovely

@Simonjt that sounds like a productive morning! The drink & crisps are deserved. We still have a paddling pool lurking in the cupboard - wonder how the girls would react if I suggested we blow it up 🤣

@Giraff3 omg some people just have no sense at all!

@Topsy44 myself and dd2 had some virus a couple of weeks ago & I don't think I've quite kicked the last of it 🙄 Hopefully your dd's feeling better soon.

Morning everyone,
Been up since 8, put two loads of washing on and hung them outside. Need to pop to Asda and do a shop soon as dd has a birthday party 1-4 🥱. After that will probably come back home and sloth out

The sun is shining here in the west mids. I’m taking dd into town to get her feet measured and no doubt she will want to mooch round the shops. Later I’m meeting my mum and an old family friend at the garden centre for coffee. She lives alone and I think because of this will talk at us non-stop, but nevertheless It should be a nice afternoon. Going to see if they have any hydrangeas for a shady spot in my garden when I am there. Doing lasagna for tea, which is not popular with ds, but his girlfriend likes it so at least someone will be happy.

Woke up stupidly early Had 2 coffees ☕️
Unloaded the dishwasher
Have hoovered and mopped, dusted and just put some stuff in to soak
2 loads of washing done but 1 more to go
I thank the gods every day for my tumble dryer and heated airer!
Very grey and cloudy here today with showers forecast 😒
After I've cleaned the bathroom, I plan a day of reading 📚 and tv 📺 😊

I am awaiting a food shopping order (thanks to the Waitrose thread!). Dog walk, washing, DIY and house cleaning today, so nothing too exciting. I am really hoping the pastries I ordered aren't subbed as I am already looking forward to one with a cup of tea later!

Morning @lucysmam and all!

Have just had tea and toast with marmalade in bed. Will be chatting to Dad soon before an early lunch and then heading off for a canal walk.

I’ve been stuck in a horrendous migraine cycle recently and so hoping to let my body unwind and rest this weekend.

I will be doing an online M&S shop later for some new summer clothes and the Summer Beauty Bag which is now out. .. a little treat to cheer myself up.

Happy Saturday all!

It was a very much out of the house this weekend this weekend based mainly between the garden and local tip.

But have teenager photoshoot walk, a game of dungeons and dragons apparently, visit to neighbours, homework, revision, usual laundry pile, decluttering and god knows what else to pack in.

So it seems busy with no actual structured plan, hence the drinking coffee, listening to music and hoovering the easiest room first approach to the morning. A least school shirts are already drying which is a win win win win so far.

Morning @lucysmam and all.
I've been for my morning run and chat with my friend, and made my favourite breakfast- porridge with nut milk and loads of seeds, nuts, banana and blueberries.
Dh just made coffee so I'll drink that then go for a shower and get ready. I need to do a few jobs this morning - pick up a prescription, buy a present - then we're watching ds2 in a rugby festival this afternoon.
Ds1 is revising hard - 3 A-level exams this week - but he'll emerge later to join us for a barbecue, if the weather improves - it's a bit grey at the moment.
Have a good day everyone!

Morning @lucysmam and the Saturday morning gang. I'm at the hairdresser, getting my hair cut and coloured. I had a late night last night so I was very tired getting up this morning.

I discovered DD has been dumping unwanted clothes in the (unused) box room. I've visitors coming, so I need to to get her to bag up the clothes and then I'll drop them off at assorted charity shops.

I need to do some laundry and pick up something for dinner. It' a Rock 'n Roll lifestyle for sure 😁 .

Morning all!
DD was up with the larks this morning, so of course we all were too.
DH is working 7-12 but from home, so just been pottering around while DD & DS play quietly, got a wash done and out on the line, kitchen cleaned down.
done my nails & about to get ready to go spend an afternoon in mum & dads garden, few drinks, music, paddling pool & food & just enjoy the weather!
kids are climbing the walls so about to kick them into our garden for a bit until its time for a quick lunch & set off.
