I've literally just lit the fire as a marker for me not moving for the night. DH away. DS at party. I'm having a ready meal lasagne (Charlie Bigham one on yellow sticker !)
I'd be looking forward to a relax but DDOG is already fretting about fireworks. Have administered the first of the tablets we had prescribed and hope they help him. Does anyone have some good feel good tv (no shouting or bangs!) to recommend? I'm on Ainslie Christmas at the minute which is quite soothing

Curled in a blanket on my chair. Watching the new series on ambulance. DS(13) is on his PlayStation in his room,
Eldest DS has gone out with his mates to town,

DH is in Norway working until the new year

DDOG is being a pain the arse barking all day!

Fire is on, it's pretty cold here tonight

Getting up in a sec to pic my sister up from work but I don't really want to move!

Sitting on the train waiting for it to leave Central Station. Coat is wet. There's no dinner. I'm anxious and down.

Under a blanket with my book, earlier we were at bowling then a brewers fayre for big lunch so only soup needed for tea. DD is playing at the neighbours house.
I am going out to sports club at 8pm but I'll enjoy that

Laid in bed with the cat and leccy blanket on.( l had a quiche salad for tea).
It's a wonder l don't slip out of bed with all the voltarol l have on lol. My osteoarthritis is playing up.. plus my TMJ... had heat pad on it.
I'm waiting for Emmerdale and Corniation street.. then l might watch an old " Vera" ..can't wait for the Christmas special.. although it's the last one..
Had my 17 year old Grandson and his friend come to see me..asked if anything they can do for me.. set them to emptying the kitchen bin and and the litter tray and refilling it.. .. ( only lives a 15 walk away).. they were going to the shops.. l ended up giving him £20...

Enjoy your evening.

Sick in bed with a rotten chest infection. Feeling very sorry for myself indeed 😊

dontforgetme · 01/11/2024 18:37

Sitting in the kitchen with a cold beer listening to the tumble dyer. Can't wait for it to finish so I can park my arse on the sofa.

Oh and ds upstairs on the PlayStation. They have ribs and salad for dinner whilst I will nuke the left over dominos from last night.

HeyMicky · 01/11/2024 18:41

I've just done Halloween make up on 5 tweens and sent them off with DH to the village sports club for a party. Now me and DDog are watching Rivals and eating leftover hot dogs

LittleRedRidingHoody · 01/11/2024 18:45

In the car (passenger seat!) on the way back from a lovely few days on the coast. Currently munching an M&S meal deal (Christmas sarnies are live!) and extra eclairs 😋 Should get home around 9 and then I'll plonk in front of the TV - need to start Rivals and see if it lives up to the hype!

Pollyanni · 01/11/2024 18:50

I need to remember my Disney log in as that is a great shout!

On the sofa under a blanket with the fire on. DD upstairs, DH in the kitchen cooking steak and chips with garlic mushrooms. No plans to move far until bedtime!

CorkQuestions · 01/11/2024 18:52

Living with parents and sibling at the mo. They've had a fight and DM is smashed. She's gone to bed and the whole house is tense.

vodkaredbullgirl · 01/11/2024 18:52

Waiting to get ready for a night shift.

CorkQuestions · 01/11/2024 18:52

@LittleRedRidingHoody that sounds heavenly

Whatever it is, it will pass. It might pass like a kidney stone but it will pass!* Have faith in yourself and your ability to get through it.

*If it is something extremely serious then apologies if the above seems flippant

Crunchymum · 01/11/2024 18:55

Poorly here too!!! Head and ear ache, nausea, sore neck, cold to the bone. So it will be bed as soon as possible tonight with a book.

I've not eaten since lunch yesterday though and I'm craving some oven chips so I'll bung some on.

Kids all had a proper dinner at least. Youngest is nodding off on the sofa so I suspect she's feeling a bit off colour too. The older kids can fend for themselves.

Had to cancel a trip to the zoo today. Rubbish end to a rather lacklustre half term for us.

mamaduckbone · 01/11/2024 18:56

Dh and I are home alone as ds is at his girlfriend's. Fire is lit, I've had a glass of red after work and we made nachos with leftover chilli for an easy dinner in front of an episode of Rivals.
I could easily take root on the sofa but have made plans to go out for drinks with a couple of friends later so will have to muster the energy to get ready shortly.

Fairly sure it’s illegal to get up if there’s a cat lying on you…..

Thighdentitycrisis · 01/11/2024 18:57

Having large rum and coke, listening to radio 4

TokyoSushi · 01/11/2024 18:58

Just had a lovely dinner here now on the sofa for the night watching catch up beginning with Location x3, DS on Xbox upstairs and DD out at a sleepover, DH mooching about in the kitchen. I've had a really busy but not unpleasant day at work so glad of the nothingness.

shellyleppard · 01/11/2024 18:58

My eldest son is at voluntary work, eating pizza with my youngest and watching modern family 😁 curled up under a blanket.

Whatnextaaaahhh · 01/11/2024 19:01

Having a cup of tea watching the F1. Had an early lasagne dinner. Will have cheese on crackers later.
