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

[lucysmam]

I'm just drinking my first cuppa, in my own kitchen spot, while the kittens have breakfast. Very different from last week
& I'm a bit gutted there's no big concert to get ready for this weekend 😥

We're not doing much - both girls need to unpack still from Liverpool, and dd1 from seeing The Killers on Wednesday too.

I'm going to play with the kittens, list some things on Vinted, and take in my Tesco shop. Maybe something crafty but not sure what yet 🤔

Tonight will be beige food, followed by an early shower and bed 🤣 I'm knackered but would happily do it all again this week!

What about all of you?🌞

Just had eggs bacon fruit and yoghurt for breakfast. Now packing ready for the beach in playa de Palma 💃

I meant to attach a kitten pic & forgot 🙈

Just had my tea and toast, we're going to st andrews today for a nice wander then driving down to Cellardyke and Elie. Love those places. @lucysmam , did you post your TS outfit last week, i didn't see it?

Good morning @Lucysmam and others. A beige tea sounds good to me! I have had two coffees and I'm going to move myself to do a food shop at Aldi. The washing is on. It was blue skies earlier but cloudy now so I'm hoping it stays dry for gardening. I'll visit mum later. Enjoy your day.

@ssd no, I will do now...it's not a very good photo though! We literally managed 3 photos of us 🙄 no 13 hands, no heart hands, none of us all together 🙈

@ssd I hope Janettas ice cream shop is still there for you! The Fife coast is lovely

Good morning, we’re all in Manchester, we’re off to Chester zoo in a bit, hopefully it won’t be so warm the animals are all in hiding. We’ll be spending most of our time persuading grandma not to buy loads of things that we’ll have to play to fly home with.

We’re in an airbnb, its very nice but the neighbour seemingly has a windchime museum in their back garden, they were so so loud last night.

Tonight I’m meeting up with a lot of my old rugby team mates, and we’re all going to see Troye Sivan, before going out out.

I hope everyone has a nice saturday.

Good morning @lucysmam , don’t you both look amazing in that photo?!
I’m just back from walking the dog, I’ve made a coffee before I get on with the ironing (I actually enjoy ironing!)
Absolutely nothing else planned so I will probably do some gardening and then sit in the sunshine with my book - I’m reading The Paper Palace which was recommended on a thread on here, it’s really good.
DH is doing a run to the recycling, he’s been saying he’d do one for at least the last 6 years so the car is stuffed with rubbish 🙄, including 18 empty paint tins!
Have a lovely day everyone 🌞

A levels finished yesterday so we're going out for a coffee today - we have barely spoken for weeks so it'll be nice to just sit and chat. Then a Chinese tonight to complete the celebrations and breathe a sigh of relief.

Hopefully I can persuade her to fill a bin bag or two as she's just been living in her room for weeks.

I've got some invoices to do and I'm in the middle of a nice summery easy read. So not much, but it'll be nice to be chilling together again.

Morning! :) you both look lovely @lucysmam

DH is at a friends wedding this weekend so I’m flying solo parenting wise. Have folded yesterdays wash, hung out a fresh one, done the washing up and vacuumed so feeling nicely productive! DD is at performing arts and DS is having a nap so im enjoying half an hour on the sofa catching up on Love Island. The weather FINALLY looks nice so we’re off to my parents for a bbq for lunch and will probably play in their garden for most of the afternoon.

Everyone is having random freezer leftovers for tea (turkey dinosaurs for DD, bean stew for DS, fajitas for me) and then hopefully an early night all round!

Taking the dc to see inside out 2 & the arcades had to bribe ds13 with going to see deadpool 3 next month in exchange to see "a kids film". 🙄😂

Grabbing some bbq food after that and having a few drinks with friends tonight.

Love both pictures Lucysmam! You both look fab. So glad you had an amazing time!

Just having a coffee, my dad and his partner are popping over in a bit and then I’m going to do a bit of housework before the cinema. DD is busy all day with friends! Home for lazy dinner and some peace and quiet - it’s been a week..

Have a lovely day all!

Good morning all
@lucysmam gorgeous photo from last weekend.

I woke up at 9am! Ridiculously busy week so clearly needed the lie in.
I’ve just finished The Paper Palace this morning @DaffydownClock really really good. Need to find a replacement now.
About to go get a cappuccino and then will do a mini facial.
Will take DD1 to her friend’s house then me and DD2 are going to visit my Dad, visit my Mum’s grave with a balloon as it would have been her birthday today and then I’m taking DD2 to the Trafford Centre as there is a VS sale and she wants a new body spray.

Back home for pizza and a movie. I may have an Aperol Spritz 😜

Good morning.

It's a beautiful sunny day and we are off to Sunnycon (it's an Anime convention)

Have a happy day, all.

Good morning.

Hammering it down again here in the South of France.

Fed the cats and kittens, the house cat came back to bed with me for a snooze, OH got back from a run so I made a bruschetta, he made coffee and now I'm contemplating what I can do gardening wise with all this rain. Probably prick out and pot on a load of seedlings that are suffering from lack of sunlight - if we ever get any again they might kick on in the coming weeks.

And I'll go sit in the polytunnel and play with some kittens as that is their hang out spot when it is raining like this.

We are potty training this weekend! So be in our flat since 10 yesterday when we got back from swimming. I'm already going stir crazy!

Morning all! What lovely pics @lucysmam never mind the few photo's you must have a head stuffed full of fab memories.
I get a bit stressed sometimes feeling I must take lots of pictures and then don't enjoy the outing as much. I've promised myself for our next holiday I'm just going to take a few key ones and then just enjoy.
My DH is away until later and DD's both still lounging so it's a quiet morning.
I have had a croissant and coffee in the sun and now contemplating a short walk.
DD 14 is working tonight so running her to and from later.
King prawn type noodle dish for dinner I think and maybe some football watching.
DD 17 and I started watching a cheerleader documentary on Netflix so we might finish that.
Will pop amd have a coffee with my DF later too.

Morning @lucysmam and all. Happy Saturday.
Parkrun done. Am going out for some retail therapy later to make up for a horrendous stressful day at work yesterday.
Other than that the usual housework and washing before a lazy evening on the sofa.
Enjoy your day everyone.

@ilovebagpuss yes, you're certainly right about the photos & videos. I didn't take many during the concerts & had a ball both nights singing & dancing with the girls!

I'm sitting on the decking in the sunshine - at a beach side holiday park

The dc are all off exploring - think we will go to the beach in a bit so they can mess about / swim

It's so quiet - hardly anyone here which is great!

Im having the day to myself.
Been sanding the floors for two days i need a rest now before i start the front room.

Off to see my mum in hospital later bracing myself for the chaos.
Just munching through a bag of Percy first!

Afternoon all - great photo lucysmam. DD15 is now frantically searching for Wembley tickets as she loved it so much in Cardiff! Worked til 1, as did DH, and we’re off to collect DD from her GF’s in a little while. Dishwasher needs unloading/loading. DH has hung out a load of washing but it’s turning quite cloudy. Not sure what’s for tea as it depends what time we get back. Might grab some pizzas on the way home.

Afternoon! We were out last night as we’ve friends visiting from NZ, so altho I went home early with our toddler (2.5yo), DH certainly did not and so was feeling terribly steady this morning. We walked down to the beach with the dogs and just mooched about, had a swim etc first thing, then back to mow the lawns (DS adores the ride on mower!). DH went to work just after lunch, so now I’m reading with a coffee while DS is playing with his toy diggers in the garden, there’s a few bare patches in the beds that he likes to dig up, trailer away and fill in again.
A friend got engaged at TS the other day, so I ought to drop them over a card and their gift.. I knew he was planning it for a while so had time to get something special!

Thats a lovely photo @lucysmam
