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

[lucysmam]

I'm just enjoying my first brew of the day, in complete silence, before dd2 wakes up.

Today's her 15th birthday 🥳 & she's very excited to open one of her presents. It's a fancy handbag, very similar to my Radley one.

She's having a sleepover with one of her best friends who's walking up around mid day, and we're probably getting Chinese takeaway for tea.

Dd1 has homework to be done so will probably do some of that.

I really need to crack on with a few bits for work, so I'll make a start on those while the girls are busy. I might even squeeze in some crochet!

What about all of you? 🙂

Good morning. I’m enjoying a quiet one this morning. Dh was up with the lark to go on a long bike ride, so I’ve had a leisurely pot of tea while loosely supervising ds make bubble tea with the kit he got for Christmas. Dd is holed up in her room, crafting or reading.

I’ve got a lot of laundry to plough through, then I’ll plant some bulbs (better late than never) if the ground isn’t too waterlogged. We’ll probably play a family board game later, in front of the fire.

@Sourisblanche thank you 😊. I feel secure knowing the hospital is aware and monitoring my condition and I have a direct phone number to call if I need to, which means that I can just relax today in my own bed. In fact I have only just woken up again! My DH will look after me very well so I don't have to worry about anything.

Had the longest lie in after a couple of days at work and a few late nights 😊 Need to get up and beautify myself, going out with DH to a nice restaurant later. Boys both going out later and DD is working a night shift tonight

Hello all

Just back from a big walk with the dog. Before that DD and I dropped DH at the Train station and DD at grannys.

I am so tired today. Might have a wee half hour nap. Have loads of housework to do so will attempt some.

Im thinking about cinema with DD later.

Happy birthday to your DD lucysmam I hope she has a great day.

I only have DC1 at home as the girls have gone for a sleep over at their cousins.

I've spent the morning batch cooking (turkey curry and turkey stew, can't believe we ended up with so much turkey. I also made a big pot of my tomato sauce). I've also tackled all the ironing.... including uniforms!!

I'm dropping DC1 at his friend's house after lunch and then I'm going to pop in to see my sister and kids for a cuppa. I'll probably head home to get some chores done and will be picking DC1 up about 5ish.

Salmon, rice and veggies for dinner. Will stick a film on and get the popcorn out later.

I'm knitting while polishing off what's left of the baileys chocolates and watching cartoons.

Good morning / afternoon and happy festive void to you all. Travelling back home after an intense week of hosting & visiting. It's been quite pleasant but also pretty overwhelming. But the friends who were supposed to come to stay for a couple of nights have cancelled so we suddenly have time just to chill and catch up with ourselves - bliss! We'll reschedule for miserable January which will be great. Booked our summer holidays too - Croatia - so all in all a decent morning!

Hi @lucysmam hope your DD has a lovely birthday.
I’m having a pyjama day today - DD is at work and I have no visiting duties for the first time in a few days so I’m absolutely relishing the peace and solitude! I’ve just put away the grocery delivery, cleaned the kitchen and put some laundry on. Planning cheese and crackers for lunch with some chocolate then an afternoon nap before reading one of my new books. Bliss!
