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

[lucysmam]

I'm just having my first cuppa of the day, with dd1 🤯 She's even fed the kittens, and she made the cups of tea! They're now trying to get in something they shouldn't 🙄

We're off to a gig tonight & taking her best friend who's never been to a gig before. We're leaving around 3pm so this morning will be my self-care Sunday everything shower then a steady potter round getting ready & a bit of housework.

Her friend's coming round at about mid day so they can sort their outfits. We'll head to Wagamamas to eat beforehand then walk to the venue.

Dd2's staying here with her dad. They're either going out to eat (dd2 will say no - she always does), or more likely ordering takeaway.

When we get in, it'll be quick cuppa then bed ready for the 6am alarms 💤💤💤 I can feel tomorrow's tired already <yawn>

What about all of you? 🙂

Morning @lucysmam!

Still lazing in bed with coffee and my kindle at the moment. We were at Burghley horse trials yesterday and walked for miles so am feeling somewhat done in today.

DH is downstairs somewhere, DD is reading in her room. Nothing planned today which is rare.

Need to put some washing on, decide what we're having for tea and deal with the many many animals. Other than that I plan on doing very little!

Hope you have a lovely day

DS1 is getting the train to Leicester for his two weeks induction for his grad job. Somewhat nervous.
DH, and DS2 and I are driving to Manchester to visit MIL in the care home and then flying to Kos for a week before DS heads back to uni.
It's Radio 2 Party in the Park weekend here and the weather is forecast rain all day!

Morning @lucysmam and all happy Sunday.
Need to nip to the supermarket to pick up something for dinner and then heading to the cinema. Apart from that will be another lazy evening before the madness starts again next week.
Enjoy your day everyone.

Good morning everyone. lucysmam your kittens make my bigger cats seem very boring (they are 2 and 4 and both asleep where they'll stay for a good few hours)

I've just taken in the shopping - it arrived 45 minutes early but I was up and dressed. Going to do baths / showers and homework this morning so we have this afternoon free. There is a 'end of summer fair' locally and we've arranged to meet a few friends. Typically weather looks pretty iffy.

This evening I'm going to attempt to make my MIL's beef stroganoff. My kids love it so much the 9yo badgered her for the recipe and wrote it all down for me 😊 I am not a natural cook so I'm not feeling too hopeful.

Will be an early night in preparation for the first full week back. I need to fit in some ironing as well. The "non iron" shirts I purchased for DC1 lied to me!!

Getting ready for Radio 2 party in the park. All the rain proofs are going on!!

I'm trying to get motivated to move.. but.. its raining and it feels humid and sweaty again.
DD is in bed, and will likely stir about the same time I start making lunch.. coincidence I'm sure.. then she'll probably vanish for the day to a mysterious place known only as,
"Goinmemates" I think it's near Milton Keynes somewhere. 🤪

The dog wants to go for a walk, but I know him... He'll get to the end of road and want to come home because of the rain. He hasn't quite grasped that Rain in the garden, means rain out the front...

But I'll take him in a minute, get home a sweaty moist mess, have a nice bath before making lunch, DD will vanish in a puff of preteenstink and attitude, and then I'll go shopping, treat myself to a coffee, come home and get DDs school stuff sorted for tomorrow.

All that's missing is Bullseye, Howards Way and recording top 40 on cassette < Now that were a Sunday evening.. 🤪

Good morning *@lucysmam and others. It's very still and misty here. Mild too. I have had three coffees and a croissant with homemade raspberry jam. I've been to Aldi and put everything away although my dried food cupboard is untidy, so that'll be a job for tomorrow. Later today I'm going to the premiere of a film about my art tutor and back to her house for drinks. I'm in it being interviewed about her work. Tonight is Chinese style chicken curry for dinner. Have a good day all

Morning. It's my hen do today so I know a couple of things but not all of it lol x

Oh have a lovely day @leighks123

How exciting!!

I am currently having a cuppa and doom scrolling but I am about to put some music on and then I am going to go through my chest of drawers and cupboards and hope to get together a few bags to throw and give away!

@Crunchymum they're very funny. Girl kitten has just caught herself a spider & wandered round growling, with it dangling from her mouth, before dropping it to play with & it scuttled off under the fridge. She looked very confused 🤣 Boy kitten seems to think he's been left alone every time he leaves a room & there's no one in the next one - he doesn't seem to realise he's the one who left & we're still here. Queue lots of sorry for himself noise 🤷‍♀️

Morning all. I’m having breakfast in bed curtesy of DH.
About to shower and meet friends for tea and cake.
Housework did not get done yesterday so chores to do.
Curry tonight for tea (take away) so excited for that.

Morning everyone, I’m currently watching DS2 at rugby training. Feeling very tired, so I am going to chuck a gammon joint in the slow cooker with ginger beer and get some frozen roast veg to go with it.

That is hilarious 😂

I remember the kitten days very well. Mine do have their moments still but yep they are pretty "boring" (they do dispose of any spiders though. Unless they are on the ceiling. Then they just sit and meow at them!!)

Couldn't imagine life without them even though we are always covered in white furr [they are unrelated but both mostly white!]

Got woken up by a huge thunderstorm in the middle of the night so had a lie in after a disrupted sleep. Had coffee, toast and put a wash on.

Will call my 86 year old Mum in a moment and have a good natter, then will try and pop out somewhere with DD12 for a few hours as we stayed in yesterday recovering from the return back to work/school.

Got quiche and salad for tonight’s tea but might pop to local supermarket on our travels to get something a bit more comforting and stodgy for a Sunday evening.

Girl kitten is particularly adept at removing spiders/crane flies. Poor Shakes doesn't get a look in even if he was there first.

@Topsy44 quiche and salad sounds good to me! I saw a tik-tok last night while doom scrolling that described quiche as an omelette in a pie & it made me smile 😊

@leighKS123 enjoy!!

Up since quite early, managed to do something techy, deadline was end today.

Now have cup of tea and visitors round later. Some of the charity shops are open on Sunday so will drop things round, do more cleaning, I'd rather be playing with kittens like some 🤨😂

Good morning, lucysmam and all,
Today we are going to have a pub lunch with some of DH's newly discovered family members, so it's a bit exciting.

Good morning. I hope you all have a lovely day.

I'm in bed as the weather is rubbish and I've been ill. My mum died suddenly last week as well so I'm just relaxing and coming to terms with things really.

Wowee this sounds like a great start!

DC1 had an assembly about the Paralympics this week so currently sat watching that. Might venture out in search of air at some point.

Pretty much no other plans!

Oh mate. Sending hugs!!!

@TheChippendenSpook ❤️🌺

@NunyaBeeswax Ha ha, you've just reminded me of my teenage Sunday evenings. Having to be alert and ready to stop the recording after one song finished, to miss all the blurb in between, then switching the recorder on again quickly when the next song started. Happy memories!

@TheChippendenSpook I'm so sorry for the loss of your mum. What a terrible shock you must have had, please look after yourself x
