I had a busy shift at work then popped to Lidl for a few bits, including alcohol free lager ( I’m enjoying one now). Also went to Tescos as Lidl had no ready prepared chicken breast joints & I wanted one for tomorrow’s roast. Sitting at the kitchen table looking at a pile of dirty dishes - really should do the dishwasher! Have put a load of washing on though. DH is out on a bike ride. Hoping he will make ham & cheese omelettes for tea. DD15 is lurking in her room as per. She was absolutely vile this morning but seemed in a better mood when I got home. It can be like Jeckell & Hyde! Might watch Strictly tonight. I didn’t really get into it last year. We like The Voice so may put that on & catch up with Strictly later. It’s a beautiful day here in Cornwall & hopefully the sun will stay for the week ☀️☀️☀️😎😎😎

((hugs)) for you ConiferBat

We had a busy morning. A 20 minute errand turned into 3 hours and we had to stop for cake to revitalise! Homemade pizza dinner in a minute, then off out to enjoy some of the local festival, home by midnight-ish.

Been out most of the day with DS at various activities then a play date which was extended in the park as the weather was so nice. Now home and DH has done two lots of washing, thank you! He's on bedtime duties and I'm doing dinner (sea bass and chorizo chowder). Just about to enjoy a glass of wine then watching a music documentary about Creation Records once DS in bed.

Honestly, feeling like a bit sorry for myself, and have had a little cry.
As this is not how I envisioned my life mid 40s!
Pretty recently split with husband, co parenting, so have the kids alternate weekends, and I’m spending this evening (and the weekend) with my parents (they don’t live nearby). As I don’t want to be home alone and at a loose end.
My friends are all still happily married and doing family stuff at weekends. So yeah, I’m the sad loner.

Oh god I’m sorry!

Looking forward to Strictly & the Voice 😁

It’ll get better soon. I promise xx

Busy day, shopping in town then the retail park, home for a quick lunch and sit down then we loaded the newly boarded attic and got thoroughly knackered and achy, cleaned the floors we could now see and did a couple of runs to the tip.

So now in PJs and not moving from the sofa unless I absolutely have to.

MistyMoonlight · 14/09/2024 19:00

Sat on the sofa with a glass of wine, husband is cooking (only pizza, but hey, it's not me up and about!), and the dog snoozing next to me. Busy day installing water trough and fencing a yard in so I won't have a hard winter like last year with the horses and sheep. Still a bit to go, it's taking a while with us doing it ourselves between work and other chores, but the end is in sight!

CalicoPusscat · 14/09/2024 19:00

@MonsteraMama I had to steer myself away from a thai delivery earlier (cost)

sunsetsandboardwalks · 14/09/2024 19:01

I'm at work (dog sitting).

We had a walk, she had her dinner and now she's snoring on the sofa while I watch re-runs of the Simpsons and eat gingerbread flapjack.

I'll be going in an hour - DH is out on a fishing trip with the dog so it'll be home to feed the cats and enjoy the peace!

Ifoughthefight · 14/09/2024 19:04

Slow morning, afternoon heritage weekend crawling, food shopping, had some zoom meeting with nice ladies and everyone on their internet devices waiting the nice dinner husband is cooking

Crunchymum · 14/09/2024 19:07

Homemade lasagne, salad and alcohol free Leffe for dinner.

Older two DC headed out for an impromptu sleepover, little one is knackered from swimming and bike riding so as soon as she is asleep I'm going to open the festive cheeselets (I only like the Christmas tree ones, was so excited to see them in stock. Although I am still outraged Christmas stuff is on the shelves in September!) and hit Netflix.

DP worked early today so he will go up with little one and probably not return so I'll watch a few episodes of Dexter!

BCBird · 14/09/2024 19:09

Up early for slimming class weigh in. Lost a few pounds. Been preparing lessons for work- ball ache. Sick of it. Planning an early exit. Been for a walk to.stretch my legs. Weather reasonable in Central England.

Moier · 14/09/2024 19:15

Been in bed all day.
Got an herniated disc as well as D&V.
Take ages to get to the loo.
Daughter been and brought me some electrolytes and incontinence pants after she finished worked.
I'm also full of cold..so coughing and sneezing isn't helping.
Not eaten anything either.
I've been dozing on and off.. but can't get comfy.
Oh whoa is me.🤢😪.
I'm going to watch The Teacher.
Might manage a chicken cup o soup in a bit.
Got the cat for company.
Enjoy your weekend everyone.

Tea has been and gone. Home made pizzas and salads. Kids have dispersed to various screens. DH is loading dishwasher and I am supposed to be catching up on a bit of admin. A small glass of cider is going down very well. We are planning to watch the Bob Marley biopic in a bit.

Just got home from watching England v New Zealand at Twickenham. About to have fish and chips and watch TV. Opening a bottle of wine.

Me too! It was so good- even managed to catch one of the little balls they threw into the crowd after. I’d be dead good at line outs 🤣🤣

Makelikeatreeandleaf · 14/09/2024 20:37

Been to see Rocky Horror starring the incredible Jason Donovan, twas epic. Home now to watch Twilight with DD and gf. @ItsAllALearningCurve - I was you a long time ago. It definitely gets better 💐

imverynosey · 14/09/2024 20:55

I made a home made coconut Thai curry with home made chicken meatballs (em the nutritionist recipe)

Had a sun bed

Not much else. Been attending to my 8 week old baby so lots of breast feeding and nappy changes.

imverynosey · 14/09/2024 20:57

Oh yes and I finished the virgin river series (wonderful series which I would fully recommend)

CalicoPusscat · 14/09/2024 21:04

Just scoffed a banana fritter with syrup from the Chinese, accompanied by clotted cream.

Potassium and protein, right?

troppibambini6 · 14/09/2024 21:13

Three football matches today then a walk into town with 2 out of the 4 kids for some tapas.

Now on the sofa with a dog on my lap watching voice. I'm knackered and have a small child being dropped off at 8.30, a netball match and a football match tomorrow morning so won't be having a late one.

Wishingonastar08 · 14/09/2024 21:39

Took DD to her 11+ this morning, went shopping with a couple of schools mums while we waited for the test to finish. DH cleaned the house while we were out 🙌🏻DD has a friend sleeping over. They’re downstairs watching a film. We’re up in our room watching a film on the projector with red wine & snacks
