Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers of Mumsnet 💐. I hope your day's enjoyable, whether you celebrate or not.

I'm just drinking my first cuppa of the day, in my kitchen spot, after dozing off once I'd seen dd1 out to work. Boy kitten's currently on the hunt for a bug he's seen (and I think already eaten 🙄), and girl's watching him 🤷‍♀️.

Dd2's in charge of my cards and present - she said good morning on my way past her bedroom but hasn't come down so I'm guessing she's gone back to sleep. I'm intrigued as to what she picked yesterday, she dragged her dad into Waterstones & they used my points I was saving...but it's not a book!

It'll be another slow day here. I want to wash all the towels, upload some more things to Vinted, and carry on painting peg dolls. Nothing too taxing!

Later on I'll cook a roast for tea, then have my usual Self care Sunday scrubby everything shower, before I settle down with the last of my book.

What about all of you? 🙂

Good morning all!

Lazy morning so far, plenty of black coffee and some reading in bed as I had a rare night out last night for a friend's birthday, live music in a pub. DD16 made me a mother's day card which said "thank you for putting up with my bullshit" on it and DS18 brought me a smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel.

I put a dark wash on earlier so will hang that out in a bit. Exciting mother's day afternoon plans include going to the tip (I love the tip!) to get rid of some junk and then swinging by IKEA to pick up a storage bench for the garden. I have the ingredients for a chicken dinner, DH and the kids will sort that out this evening.

Well, I'm made up with my present - a new Sherlock Holmes board game, notebook, and chocs that we're sharing for breakfast. So I'll let them off with spending my Waterstones card balance 🤣. Now I need to convince them to play later!

Morming Lucysmam and all.

Woke up at 6 (bloody mad wind knocked my olive tree in a pot over oustide my bedroom window) have been up and watered my seedlings, fed the cat and had a cuppa.

DD got me a card that said "You're the Mum that I want" and asked if we could watch Grease together later. Can't wait, as she's never seen it before (she's Autistic and very careful regarding 'inappropriate content')

Just back from the garden centre where I spent a fortune, but I got a 5ft Japanese Acer for a cracking price. When the wind drops, DD and I are off out to plant it in our new Japanese corner of the garden.

Late dinner and a Grease this evening.
