Good Morning All! What are you all up to today?

[lucysmam]

I'm just drinking my first cuppa, in my kitchen spot, while everyone else is sleeping. The only sound atm is the kitten's water fountain & the occasional noise from next door. Bllss 😊

I've just been scrolling back on All Points East's FB page to see when tickets were released but forgot to look when dates were announced 🙄

We have nothing at all planned for today really. Dd2's off to her friend's house for the afternoon so will probably be up shortly - she's a flapper getting ready for anything (no idea where she gets that from 🤔🤣). And dd1 has work to do for college so she'll be up soonish too I expect.

I want to clean the bathroom and downstairs loo & try to sort out the top of the stairs. That just leaves my bedroom to be cleared out, cleaned & then only the stuff I want put back then - I've gone round the whole house over summer deep cleaning & decluttering but homeless things have ended up in my room 🙄

I want a new craft project too but nothing's really appealing so I might look at yarn for the Taylor Swift cardigans the girls want 🤔

Dd1's meant to be cooking but hasn't defrosted the chicken she needs for the last 2 days so I suspect she won't be cooking tonight either so I'll look shortly & decide.

What about all of you? 🙂

Collected don from Leeds festival last night so still in bed as wasn't home until. 2am. Polkadog was pretending he'd been awake when I got home but is now snoring.
I need to clear my bedroom. Newly decorated but STUFF everywhere

Good morning @lucysmam , just back from a soggy dog walk; I really don’t mind walking in the rain so long as I have waterproofs and my knees stay dry ( I hate wet knees!)
I have put away the grocery delivery, put the washing on, filled the dw and that’s on too, just having a coffee then I will make some toast before I do anything else.
All’s very quiet here.
Crispy chicken, rice and poppadoms for dinner (thank you Waitrose!), home made apple and raspberry crumble with ice cream to finish I think.
I hope today goes well for everyone 🌻

Good morning @lucysmamand others. I've had two coffees and a slice of toast. The bed is stripped and the washing is in the machine ready to go. I've had a shower and I'm heading out soon for second breakfast with a friend. It's a fortnightly occasion. When I return, I'll get the washing going then tumble it. The weather here has to be showery. Some gentle housework ie hoovering and polishing and cleaning the bathroom ahead. I'll have a salad for dinner to use it up. Enjoy your day ahead.

Morning @lucysmam and the usual Saturday morning gang.

I'm meeting a friend for breakfast at 10.30. It's been a busy summer and it's been longer than usual since our last meet up. So we'll have lots to catch up on. We usually have breakfast and then have a second cuppa while we put the world to rights.

After that I'll do my usual Saturday stuff - grocery shopping and meal planning etc.

Need to do a bit of driving practice with DD later, which I'm dreading. This is the stuff they don't tell you in the baby books.

It looks lovely out - blue skies and sunshine.

Your girls are lucky they have such a crafty Mum - you'll have to show us the cardigans when you finish them.

Good morning @lucysmam and everyone
Porung with rain here but that’s ok as planning to get lots of cleaning done today. I recently bought an Aesop handwash (after reading all the rave reviews on here) as a treat for passing an important exam I recently took and thought had failed. So I want to get the sink scrubbed and ready 🧼 😊✨
Happy Saturday everyone!

I'm still in bed, which is v unusual!
DS was at Leeds festival yesterday and wasn't home until late (he's only just 16 hense waiting up). So, we weren't in bed until after 2am.

I'm just about to get up. Plan for today was going to watch a local paddleboard competition, get some food and maybe a drink or two. It sounds windy still, so I will need to check it still happening.

No other plans as yet. I have been off work since Thursday, so I'm pretty up to speed with chores chilled BH weekend incoming 😄
Enjoy everyone

Good morning all

About to sort out second coffee, came back from a exhausting but excellent holiday yesterday and ploughed through jet lag to get laundry done on line because it's wet today. So have my favourite piles of clothes to put away, kill me now, would be easier.

Haven't attempted the rest of the unpacking.

Had a massive online delivery yesterday which i ordered half drunk away and it seems like £200+ of nothing to eat! So i don't know someone needs to pick a meal and we'll take it from there.

Would stay in pjs all day but have additional teens staying over, why did i agree to that?

So in a nutshell pottering, full fridge nothing to eat, will probably have random dozes and not know whether it's best to wake anyone up or not.

Good morning, its going to be a nice day here again so we’re getting the metro in a bit to go to a park. Its further than we would normally go, but its got a really good playground that actually suits both of ours, we’re probably going to have lunch there as there is quite a nice cafe.

I don’t think we really have anything in mind for this evening apart from cleaning the chickens out.

Have a good saturday everyone.

Hi all,

Got up.late today. Must have needed it lol Sat having a 2nd cup of coffee. Nothing planned today here. Just gonna go with the flow 🙂

Hope everyone has a nice day.

@frozendaisy that was very bad planning, inviting teens to stay when you're still recovering from a holiday.

My last day on holiday in France. So I’m sat on the beach. Going to walk for an Icecream. And have to be pulled kicking and screaming home tomorrow 😔

I've been up for ages so have done a bit of housework, dropped DD1 at work because it's chucking it down and now sitting with a cuppa in front of the telly.

Later we're going to buy DD's bits for sixth form and I might wash my hair...

I've just woken up, I'm away in London atm but was at Victorious Festival yesterday so I'm shattered.
I think I'm going to wander down to Borough Market for food and a cup of tea, then head over to the V&A, then maybe a browse in Camden.

Was out with DS1 at the cricket yesterday so shattered today! Going to work shortly, on call until Monday morning 🤨 Then can either go and watch one of them play cricket later or come home to an empty house 🥳 DD is out this afternoon, DS2 has gone to cricket already

Good morning all. I've just finished my 1st cup of tea of the day in bed. I've been in work all week, my first week back after annual leave, and I've been feeling pretty tired. Quiet day for me. My husband is away for the bank holiday weekend with work, so just me and my boys. DS1 is off to meet a friend this afternoon. Ds2 and myself will pop the shops to pick up some school uniform orders. Then to m&s to get something nice for dinner. Hopefully, then a film tonight.

Out in the garden, relishing the rain - the first rain here for over six weeks - the land is arid, dessicated and has been crying out for this! One can almost hear it soaking up the precious, life giving liquid, belching and asking for more, more and yet more!

Debating whether or not to risk planting out the many young plug wildflowers I have grown from seed into the wild flower areas of my lawns and hope they get enough rain to settle them in - Chicory, Salad Burnett, Red Clover, Weld, Praire Clover, Pink Sainfoin, Hoary Plantain, Vipers Bugloss, Marsh Woundwort and Yellow Toadflax. Hoping they will make a good show next year.

Watching the birds on the bird feeders, especially the Great Spotted Woodpeckers.

Going beach fishing later, a high tide at dusk, which is perfect, and will enjoy watching the night creep in.

A perfect day and start to the Bank Holiday weekend

I crawled out of bed at 9 ish.
Coffee shower now im fully awake no house work to do not working today.
Going get me a work out in and do another later.

Morning @lucysmam and all happy Saturday.
Just back from volunteering at a very wet parkrun so currently drying out and warming up.
I don't have any plans today but am hoping to do some of those jobs at home that I keep putting off. Sorting paperwork, wardrobe etc.
Enjoy your day everyone.

On the beach in Majorca. Blistering hot. May just sit in the sea all day 😂

I’m in bed having my coffee

I honestly have no idea because I was up at 3.30 to drop my son off who has gone to France for a week with scouts. So yesterday was running around all day sorting him out. I have been back to sleep for a bit but am more knackered than usual just now!

Good morning all! Happy Saturday.
It is a truly shitty morning (weather wise!) here so toddler ds and I, having braved the weather to sort the horses, dogs, ducks and livestock, are holed up in his beach tent watching his latest favourite film, Moana. He makes me sing every single song… I’m not much of a singer but he seems happy.
Need to nip to the shops later as we’re completely out of milk which was a pain in the arse this morning when I wanted my coffee! I’m currently pregnant so have decided to only have decaf, so bought myself a fancy one and some caramel syrup as a treat… but forgot the milk 🤡
This evening DH is having a v rare evening off and we’re going to a 90s throwback type outdoor music event. I’m so excited, we hardly ever go out March-October because he’s always working 🤣

Morning @lucysmam and the weekend gang!

I was up early as my cleaner was due round, then she texted to say she'll be here tomorrow instead. That's annoying because I cleared away my crafting stuff ready and because tomorrow I'll probably be groaning with a hangover.

It's a four way celebration later today with 15 friends, and we're starting early 😬 Wish me luck!

Morning everyone.
Had my cuppa.
Put dishwasher on ..forgetting l hadn't had my shower..( it always goes hot and cold while it's on). So I'm still laid in bed scrolling on phone . I have a Fibromyalgia flare so won't be doing much at all.
I'm having new wooden flooring put in all downstairs.. they workmen have just the beading to do in the living room and dining room.. then after bank holiday will be doing the kitchen.. the utility room and the hallway.. I've told the cleaner only to do upstairs for now.
I was going to get taxi round to my daughters to see Grandsons.. but eldest ( 19) just set off for Leeds fest.
16 year old went to an house party to celebrate his GCSE'S last night and us now hungover and got a friend asleep on sofa.. and daughter been called into work.. so she's leaving them to sleep it off.
I'm on mounjaro so defrosting a chicken breast.. will decide later what to make with it for tea.
Can't wait for the heatwave that's coming at beginning of September.

Morning all. Ive had breakfast and a second cup of coffee in bed. Washing is done and I'm going to put the dryer on as not raining atm but is forecast for later. I've been on the online chat with my car insurance provider for 45m sorting out by renewal quote which they'd messed up.

I'm going to have a bath and do all my skin care, change the sheets and then off to the Cinema this afternoon to see the new version of The Crow with dh.

Lunch will be a salad before we go out and then making homemade Nandos for dinner. Tonight we are going to catch up with the Umbrella Academy

Good morning @lucysmam and everyone. Both kids have been awake since 7am. I’ve washed school uniform, second load in and beds made. I’ve just washed and sterilised the bottles and im about to put baby down for his first nap of the day. I’m not sure what we’re doing this afternoon, we’re waiting for DH to finish work early afternoon and then we’ll see. Hope everyone has a good day.
