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

[lucysmam]

I'm just drinking my first cuppa of the day, after what felt like a nice long lie in with both kittens. It wasn't 🙄 it was my usual 8am but I slept an hour longer because of the clocks going back. Both kittens are fed, boy's gone back upstairs to bed, and girl's curled up on the chair opposite mine. I thought she was coming to sit with me, but no.

Both girls are still in bed and will be for a good while yet I imagine. Dd1 was tired after work yesterday, and dd2 was staying up to watch someone's stream of Adele from Vegas.

My plan for today is send a couple of Vinted parcels, upload some more to it, and continue spring cleaning the kitchen. I need to nip to the shop for loo rolls too. Think I'll get us all some sweet treats while I'm there.

I'm not sure what's for tea yet - I forgot to defrost something overnight so will look shortly.

Tonight it's an early Self-Care-Sunday scrubby shower, followed by an hour or two with my crochet and one of my books. I have three on the go but should really finish one of them that I've been reading for aaaaages I think 🤔

What about all of you? 🙂

Morning @lucysmam. I've been awake for ages, DH and DD are still asleep so I've come down to scroll MN on the sofa. Have a banging headache and am shattered but couldn't lay in bed any longer.

There was a promise of a full cooked breakfast today from DH so am hoping that materialises at some point. Think DD could do with a duvet day, so hopefully a day of doing very little.

Need to make some GF sausage rolls so will do extra pastry and have venison pie and mash for tea I think.

At the moment I'm drinking coffee and watching Classic Corrie with the dogs. I might go and visit the Parentals later if the sun stays out but DH has a busy day 'at war' (new COD) and then watching the footie so it's Shank's Pony for me all day today. Might just sit on my bum and read.

Good morning Lucysmam and All.

Just had a coffee and some toast, put a wash on and dishwasher is on. Trying to summon up the energy to get in the shower to get ready to go and see my Mum for lunch.

Going out with some friends this evening and will leave my DD with my Mum so they will have a lovely time watching the Strictly results while eating some chocs.

DD2 was up at 5am (but it was really her normal 6am.) I told her to go back to sleep and by some miracle she did do we did actually get the extra hour in bed!

We've just had bacon and eggs and I'm on my second cup of tea. I need to pop to the supermarket in a bit and then this afternoon we're meeting up with friends for a birthday gathering. I think it'll be a buffet for an early dinner and then we'll try and get home at a reasonable hour because I fancy an early night.

I get married tomorrow and I'm ridiculously nervous, no idea why ( we've been together 10 years and have a house, child and dog!)

So my day is being spent prepping for things and attempting to keep my cool.. tips welcome!
Oh and we go on honeymoon on Wednesday so I'm packing all the things for that!

Morning all!

Your days sound lovely, I'm planning on picking up reading again every evening even if it's only for 20 minutes as I've got out of the habit.

We're in Disneyland Paris for a few days and tomorrow is mine and youngest DDs birthday - she will be 4 and I will be.. a little more than 4! We've had a lovely continental breakfast and I'm just chilling on the bed while DDs and DN are playing with their toys, whilst the rest of the family get ready. Weather is overcast here but no rain forecast.

Enjoy your Sundays everyone

Congratulations for tomorrow!

Good morning @lucysmam & everyone. Slept til 7.30 but only just got up.It’s another beautiful day here in Cornwall so will definitely go out at some point. Might have cold pizza for lunch. Easy tea of Greggs steak bakes with garlic mash & broccoli. The upstairs desperately needs hoovering - I’ll ask DH to do the stairs as we have a Henry which is quite heavy. And I really must dust the lounge. DH might clean the bathroom later. I might be sitting with DM this afternoon if DF can book a round of golf. DBro & DSil hopefully coming down tonight ( not staying with us). Will be lovely to catch up.

Congratulations @Fixesplease ! Hope you enjoy both today and tomorrow!
Happy birthday @merryandbrightdelight to you and your DD.
I’ve just had a cuppa and two crumpets in bed. About to have a shower, tidy kitchen and then watch eldest play rugby. Got parents coming round for Sunday lunch so will get all the back to school stuff sorted before they arrive as we’ve had our half term here.

Thoroughly enjoying the extra hour! So nice not to rush around.
Today we are going to an NT property, will get lunch there then pop into town on the way back as DH needs a new office chair.

@Fixesplease how exciting! I hope you have a fabulous wedding day & enjoy your honeymoon!

@merryandbrightdelight happy birthday to you and your dd 🥳

Best of luck for tomorrow @Fixesplease

I am sure you will have the most amazing day.

We had a change of plans yesterday and both DD's went off with granny at about 4pm for a sleep over. It's only myself and DC1 at home.

We got up about 7.30 and so far I've put a wash on, defrosted the freezer (and sorted all the drawers out / washed them), made bagels and washed up.

It's only just gone 9am 😂

It's a beautiful autumnal day here so DC1 and I will go for a bike ride along the canal (he has a new and rather large bike so we're trying to get him confident on the cycle paths and canal). We'll go and collect the girls later and we've been offered a roast dinner. So excited as we don't really do roasts much here. Half the family isn't fussed with them so I only do them occasionally.

DP is actually already at his parents as he is helping them with some DIY this weekend. He stayed over with the girls so he could get an early start.

Later will be a film and an early night. I am only working tomorrow - but I have so much on so I want to log on early - then I'm off for half term.

I'm on holiday and have left DH and DS at the cottage and am in a cafe awaiting avo on toast. They are having cereal at home and the one I have wasn't in stock at the local shop. Shame 🤷🏻‍♀️

Peace!

Then we are going for a long walk along Rhosilli beach with the dog. Lovely day!

Wow! Congratulations.

🍾

I’ve got to pop up the hospital this morning to see DP who had a heart attack almost 2 weeks ago. He’s stuck in and awaiting a bed at Kings for a double heart bypass. Then I NEED to do some tidying around the house. I’ve struggled since he got ill and can’t really focus to get anything done but the kitchen was done yesterday so planning on doing the living room today and making it all cosy for a relaxed evening. No clue what to do for dinner, there’s a chicken in the fridge but I suspect it’s out of date now, so might rustle up a hearty stew for me and DS. DD refuses to even try it so I’ll have to grab her something on the way home from hospital. Would also like to squeeze in a nice bath and relax for a bit! Half term here so minimal work for me. Got to go and do a few hours tomorrow but then the rest of the week is free.

Good morning! Enjoy your pre-wedding excitement @Fixesplease

Teens out at orchestra rehearsals today so I think I'll go to the local cinema to catch the new Almodovar film, all on my own. Bliss!

Fixesplease congratulations 🍾🥂🎉🎈🎇🎆💐

@Redcase @lucysmam thank you!

Good morning!
• Put a load of towels in the wash, don't have a dryer but it looks like it won't rain so 🤞
• Going out later for DS's sporting activity, in-laws meeting us there to watch him be evaluated
• Tesco weekly shop coming this evening, but I've already defrosted prawns for tonight: chilli prawn linguine, adding a pack of mussels from Aldi as a special treat. Think lunch will be something from a Greggs/pasty shop/McDs due to being out around then.
• Also to do this evening: get DS to start his half term homework....

But for now currently in bed with a cup of tea looking at magazines on Readly (always using the free trials) and intermittently thinking about fixing the time on kitchen clock.

I'm lying in bed listening to the church bells. It is a beautiful autumn day here. I need to take a load to the launderette but I doubt I'll get much further than toast & tea this morning! DD is at her dad's and not back until the afternoon so I won't have to bother with lunch.

Have had my breakfast - buttery toast and a coffee with a splash of gingerbread syrup - and have just cleaned the bathrooms and bedrooms upstairs. Waiting on my son to tidy his room and clear the floor so I can run the vacuum round his room. Then shower, brush teeth etc before we take the dog out for a walk. Normally she gets walked first thing but I wanted to get the chores out of the way first, so she's moping around and sighing a lot - quite the performance!

Then we'll have lunch - probably cheese on toast - and I'll read for a little while, DS will probably play his Switch or watch YouTube for an hour or so. Husband is back later this afternoon after having to go away for a few weeks with work so we're all excited about him being back. He's not back until early evening so I'll cook a roast chicken dinner with all the sides for when he's home. Then we'll all catch up, play with the dog, watch TV etc over the evening. A fairly relaxed Sunday with us all being reunited again!

Trinity69 hope your DP gets a bed soon.

Morning all!
DP is currently in the kitchen making us all a cooked breakfast. My dd has an appointment today so I'll drop her off there, need to walk the dogs and visit my mums grave today too.
This afternoon will be housework and clearing out the kitchen ready for it to be decorated this week then this evening will be tv and a glass of wine. Half term here so no Sunday night rush to get uniforms ironed

Good morning @lucysmam and everyone. I didn’t sleep well last night so was pleased when it reached a decent time to get up! I’ve done two loads of washing, peeled the veg for tonight’s roast chicken and cleaned the bathroom so far. Having a little sit now with some tea and toast. Nothing exciting planned for the rest of the day - change beds, more washing and a bit of batch cooking and baking for the weekend ahead. I can definitely see chocolate brownies for pudding tonight! Hope everyone has a great day!

I’ve got a gaggle of girls here from a sleepover who are just so sweet. They have been up and baked this morning. Now all back in bed eating cookies.

I’ve tidied up and unloaded the dishwasher, folded a wash and put my gym kit on.

going for a sea swim later and out for food. Need an early night as went to the pub last night!
