Good Morning All! What's everyone doing today?

[lucysmam]

I'm just finishing my first cuppa of the day. For the first time in ages I was not alone to start a Sunday 😱 DD2 has been up hours by the looks of it, doing all the little jobs I'd usually do, and made me tea and toast! She's just left me the towels to wash and a handful of pots which I might leave until later on

Today's plan is more bracelet making and glasses decorating for our Eras Tour night in just under 4 weeks. We also need to look for suitably sized bags and both dds need to send me outfit links - nothing fits dd1's boobs 🙄 and dd2 is struggling to find something she feels confident in.

Dd's just chucked a gammon in the slow cooker so we can craft away for most of the day & then have tea without any real cooking needed.

Later on it'll be showers & chill before an early one for me. I think I'm going to pinch another posters Self Care Sunday idea again & have an everything shower/face mask/pamper myself a bit, ready for the last week before half term 😊

What about you lovely lot? 🌞

I was looking forward to a cuppa in the garden with my book but next door s builders have just turned up and will be above my fence height, right on my boundary banging the fecking roof on all day. 😭

Sounds like a lovely day! I'm about to have my second coffee in the garden after I've hung the washing out. Will make DS16 bacon sandwich for breakfast, I might have poached eggs. Todays task is to start sorting clothes for our holiday in 5 weeks, I usually leave it to the weekend before but we're going for 2 weeks this time!

Hi, just finished my first cuppa whilst scoffing my face on an empire biscuit. My sugar fix since gone dairy free for my daughter.

Going over to the grandparents later. Hope you have a wonderful day :)

Out for lunch for out 25th wedding anniversary 😊

Its actually sunny here atm

I did all the cleaning yesterday so today will mostly be spent Stuffing my face and helping dc with exam revision 😬

Morning.

Fed the cats. The feral kittens' mama that we had neutered a few months ago hasn't been here for 48 hours now so we are unfortunately expecting she has gone as she hasn't missed a day for food in over a year apart from the days she was having kittens. Sometimes they do show so we can only hope she is ok.

Have had breakfast and I'm off to a plant swap later so will be having an early lunch - it's a veggie all day breakfast lunch today.

Then will pick up two ladies at a local supermarket and drive to the plant swap. I've got a fair amount of plants to get rid of so am hoping this clears the way in my summer house for the summer crops of beans, and herbs, and cucumbers, and courgettes to have their main crop sowing in the week.

Happy anniversary!
Off to our local park for a transport fair and pop into pub on the way home.

That's so sweet of your DD.

Hoping mine develop the "helpful" gene soon.

I can't imagine how excited you must all be feeling for the concert. Its so close now!!

We're still recovering from illness. DC2 hasn't been out the door since Wednesday. She feels well enough to have half an hour in the park across the road so I'll let her and DC1 head out soon for some fresh air and see how her energy levels are after.

Food shopping due soon and then I can marinade the pork for later (honey, garlic, ginger and soy sauce) and we'll have it in kebabs with salad - or maybe with rice. Haven't decided yet.

Need to finish the ironing and the whole house could do with a hoover, that is DC1's chore though (well he does the stairs and I give him £3 pocket money, I'm working him up to doing it all and ill raise his payment to a fiver)

Not sure about later. May take whoeever fancies it for a canal walk when DP is back from pricing a new job.

DH away (one week down, one to go) I’m just sat having a coffee and fresh pastry in the garden, sun is beaming.

I’ll take dog to the woods or play in the garden this morning. It’s very hot already though for her.

friend coming over at midday, for a drink then out to lunch.

evening will be spent in the garden, having a drink, no work next week. Might wet vac the carpet before bed if I cba.

Morning @lucysmam and everyone.
Having a much needed lie in after working 6 days straight - I am exhausted. Sunlight streaming in whilst having a cappuccino and reading my book.
No huge plans thankfully - need to visit Dad and also go see a neighbour who lost her DM last week - will bring some flowers.
Huge pile of laundry to sort (probably 8 loads worth to put away 😱) and I must clean the kitchen windows as the sunlight is highlighting all the streaks and looks terrible.
Could do with going to a Home Bargains or equivalent to get some cleaning supplies and also sunscreen as we’re going to Tuscany in a week - can’t wait! I should be doing what you’re doing @WhamBamThankU and sorting out clothes/packing but I’m scared to try on last year’s holiday clothes in case they don’t fit 😂😂
Hopefully simple chicken pesto dinner and then homework/uniforms to sort.

Everyone have a lovely day in the sunshine.

Morning @lucysmam and all the Sunday morning lot!

That's so lovely of your DD @lucysmam ❤️

Self care Sunday here too, planning a garden day as I have some seeds to plant and a greenhouse to build, we lost our old greenhouse last year in a storm and I keep meaning to build the new one but never get round to it so hopefully today.

It was my turn for a lie in today and DH brought me tea and toast twas glorious. Ive stripped our bed and got the sheets in the wash so hopefully they will be dry and back on tonight!

Slow cooker lasagna for dinner and salad. Might make some cookies aswell.

Then bath,, early night with a book I haven't read all week 😔

Have a lovely Sunday all!

Sunday lie in and tv for kids but swimming later and then outdoor garden fun and we have trampoline and seesaw in garden so kids will love that as always especially as nice weather today

Good morning, I’ve been to the gym and in a few minutes I’m taking our daughter swimming, she used to hate the pool but she has started enjoying it recently.

Zero plans this afternoon, so we’ll probably be a bit lazy. We’re going to see Taylor Swift tonight, I’m not the biggest fan so I tried and failed to persuade my husband to take someone else.

22° today, so after swimming I might have another garden day.

I’ve had a bit of a lie in and having a quick breakfast. I’m off out in about an hour to meet my DPs, DB and SIL for a coffee and a mooch in the garden centre. (DB has a new puppy so hoping to meet her!)

DH is working 12- 10 so I will be home alone this afternoon and I’ve just started a new book so looking forward to making a significant dent in that.

Not sure what’s for dinner as it’s just me.

DD is studying all day and DS is working.

Morning, had first coffee of the day and let the dog out and fed her. Then did a bit of grooming her. Made DH a coffee. He is chuffed with himself as he created a rockery yesterday and added a few plants but want’s to nip to the range later for white stones to add to it. Then I want to have a nosey at Tesco’s clothes maybe. Then plan on sitting in the garden with my book. Oh and doing some kind of YouTube work out. And a little bit of Maths. I am trying to stretch my brain by doing some of DD’s gcse text book stuff. Off for a shower now enjoy your day all !

Morning @lucysmam and all. Happy Sunday.
Just back from a 10k run along the Thames. Very warm out there already. My first run in shorts - trying to embrace the - wear the damn shorts ethos. Feels very liberating even though I still feel self conscious.
Just about to have breakfast and will try to get the washing done and dried in the sunshine. Will have a quiet rest of day and finish my book.
Enjoy your day everyone.

@Decafflatteplease it was your self care Sunday idea I pinched! How do you do lasagne in the slow cooker?

Check your council guidelines but most forbid building works on a Sunday! If so you could have a word

Just popping back to say that the feral cat mama is here and she was caught in a barn as she is starving and covered in cobwebs. But alive!

Good morning everyone. It’s a gorgeous sunny day here again. So far I have sat on the sofa drinking tea and I’ve stripped my bed and put the covers in the wash.

There’s just me, dh and dd9 in for most of the day - dd19 is working and dd16 has an induction for her new part time job today too, she’s just set off and is a little nervous bless her.

Today’s plan is to sort the house out as it’s a state, iron uniforms and that sort of thing to get organised for the week ahead then I’ll sit out in the sun this afternoon and probably get the sprinkler out for dd9 and any of her friends in the street that wish to join in.

Tea is a roast - probably not the best plan in this heat but it’s on the meal plan so I’ll stick with it and then we’ll probably watch a few more episodes of Bridgerton with dd16 before showers and an early night for everyone.

@Simonjt have a fabulous time! What are you wearing?

Well I'm hungover sat eating half a leftover Big Mac from last night send me strength

Morning @lucysmam.

I'm still in bed, my sleep has gone to pot the past month or so and I keep waking up at 4am. DH is downstairs making breakfast and sorting the animals.

When I eventually drag myself up I'm off to ride, and then find somewhere to eat an early tea before collecting DD from her dads. I could do with putting some washing on and doing some baking but I just have zero energy. Not sure how to fix it!

@AlisonDonut that's good to see the cat has turned up, even if she is covered in cobwebs 😊

Gosh you're all going to be busy by sounds of it.
It's Sunday ..It's sunny.. It's going to be hot... can't stay in.
We are going for a drive into the Dales with a picnic by the river.
Tomorrow I'll do things l need to.. getting my things ready for my holiday to Cyprus on Thursday.
Gardener and cleaner be here tomorrow.
But Sundays to me are meant for days out.
Enjoy your day everyone.

Good morning @lucysmam and everyone! I really love this Sunday threads and look forward to seeing it.

I'm sat at a Starbucks have an ice Frappuccino for the first time this year. While DH and DS are at a swimming lesson. I can't bear the smell of chlorine/ swimming pools and I can't swim 🤦🏻‍♀️

Later in the afternoon I'd clean up the house, change bedsheets while DH and DS will go meet grandparents. So only me for tea/ dinner. And there's lots of leftover curry.

If time permits I'd go for a back and legs massage. 😊
