Good Morning All! What's everyone doing today?

[lucysmam]

I'm just drinking my first cuppa of the day, in my kitchen spot. I got up to feed the cats since boy cat was mountaineering in the bedroom 🙄

I've refilled my hot water bottle & may well go back to sleep. We got in at about 12:45 this morning after yesterday's gig <yawn>.

I don't think we'll be doing much today, I feel like I'm coming down with something & the girls won't be up for hours! I might run a nice hot bath in a bit, but that'll be it.

What about all of you? 🙂

Good morning @lucysmam .
I’m enjoying my first cuppa too .
A bit tired as I partied quite a bit yesterday 🤦‍♀️
Heading out to catch up with friends soon ..
far too sociable me !

have a great day

Good morning lm supposed to be doing a few hours private gardening with a friend but I'm exhausted so may need to cancel. Going to see how I feel post breakfast.

Other than that, I'll potter about till DH wakes up from his night shift sleep. Might possibly go climbing early evening.

Good morning, we’re about to go out for breakfast before heading to Bristol. We’ve just been informing our friend that Robert Irwin is only 21 after his Bonds photoshoot was discovered, said friend is now concerned for himself.

12:45 isn’t too bad, so hopefully a good nap will have you feeling a bit better, I don’t know about you but sometimes being tired can make me feel a little unwell.

I’m going to be power washing my driveway and patio later and am far too excited about it 😂

@Simonjt I'm usually tucked up by 9:30ish 🙈

I'm just planning to make a coffee and read my New Scientist magazine.

Not sure after that but no major plans for today, which is lovely.

Oh me too. Or earlier if I can get away with it!

Morning,

The sun is finally back out here today 🌞 DS2 has his last football match of the season. Then we're off to a gig and food 🙂

Hope everyone has a good day.

I’ve just got back from 10 days away so for me washing, cleaning, cuddling and brushing the pack of dogs. Enjoying the beautiful sunshine and later today I feel a beer garden visit is in order!! Back to work tomorrow but from what I can see it’s not been too hetic without me at the helm.

I think I might go back to bed with a hot water bottle too. Don't feel great. Just waiting on a delivery that be here in a mo so I have tided up and sort washing. Dh at work and teenager DS in bed. Have a nice chilled day.

Morning all.
Beautiful day here, I started it off with a swim in our local lake with a friend, there was a bacon roll van there today so we treated ourselves to one of those afterwards!
got home and now showered. Think dc1 and I will go for a walk later on, there’s a nice brewery pub thing in the woods and a lovely walk around the lake there so we’ll combine the 2. Not sure dh will join us, he’s feeling a bit delicate after a day out yesterday!

Absolutely nothing except sit in the sun. Bliss. I hate having busy weekends/too many plans. I need time to reset after a hectic working week

Good morning Lucysmam and All

I will be wrapping up presents for my DD13’s birthday tomorrow! I’ve got to pop out a bit later to pick up a couple more bits for her that I’ve ordered and then home to finish the wrapping.

Need to call my DM too this morning to have a natter and will try and get DD out for a walk at some point as we spent yesterday in the house having a recovery day from end of term/busy work week.

Enjoy your Sundays All!

@lucysmam go back to bed!

it’s green volunteering
football
friends over

all today here today need to put away many loads of washing and clear downstairs of house before KO plus make 20 burger rolls and work out some food but aside from this!

Late night for me too. How can 2 ten year old girls be run ragged all day and not go to bed until after midnight? 😄

Of course I was up at 7am and they have yet to surface!!

Have done two lots of washing and food shopping will be here soon.

Plan is to head out to the nature reserve today. They have a lovely (albeit overpriced) cafe so I'll shout everyone lunch.

Will drop DC2's friend home about 5ish then need to collect DC1 who is out for the day with his friend.

Later we'll just have something easy like pesto pasta or omelette. And then an early night all round.

Lovely lazy start to the day - the sun is streaming into the bedroom catching my new crystals hanging from the windows creating gorgeous dancing rainbows everywhere - it’s making me very happy.
Just having a cappuccino in bed reading my book listening to classical spring music. Bliss.

Planning an easy morning - going to do a face mask and LED mask to make me look a little more alive and then put away 6 loads of laundry.

Will visit my Dad and brother around lunchtime and hoping to stop off on way home for a cheeky glass of rose with DH and DDs. I couldn’t have any wine with dinner last night as I was on pick up duty for DD1 coming home from a party - didn’t get to bed until midnight - I wish she was 5 instead of 15 😂

Then DH will cook dinner whilst I sort uniforms/whizz round house tidying/spot cleaning.

Early night hopefully - with another episode of Brothers and Sisters. I’m loving this family saga - somehow missed it when it was released in the noughties.

I've been for a swim. About to have some breakfast. Then DH are going to go for a walk, probably head to the Lake District for the day.

Good morning @lucysmam and all.
I'm full of cold so still pottering around in my dressing gown. Ds2 and Dh have gone to rugby so I've got the house to myself for a few hours.

What I need to do is get prepped for parents evening this week. What I want to do is drink coffee and laze about. I've also got a few plants to get in the garden.
Ds and I have a revision date this afternoon to work on his English language.

Roast chicken for dinner, then the hamster wheel turns again for another week. So ready for the Easter holidays now but we don't break up until Friday.

Happy sunny Sunday everyone ☀️

Good morning @lucysmam & everyone. Sorry you’re under the weather lucysmam. Hopefully a chilled day will put you right. I woke up at about 5 but went back to sleep & then it was 7.50. That’s a lie in for us! I felt happy at the thought of a nice relaxing Sunday ahead then remembered I’m working at 12! Bugger! 🤣🤣🤣 Made a cuppa to have in bed with DH. He’s just gone into the bathroom & I will get dressed after I post this then make another cuppa. Dishwasher needs unloading/loading. There was a dramatic yell from DD16 just now - the freezer is over-full (I do tend to go a bit mad!) & the drawer hinge that DH “fixed” the other day fell on DD’s foot! It appeared that the door had been slightly ajar but everything inside was still cold enough luckily. Needs fixing again & a sort/reorganise. Good to see DD out of her room at least!
Not intending on doing much after work. If the sunshine lasts, I’ll sit in the garden with the bunnies & make more plans for the summerhouse. It’s looking pretty ramshackle! I’d like to paint it yellow. Got the chance of a free yellow table although I might cover it with a pvc tablecloth that has lemons on it. Decided on a fruit theme since a customer bought some super cute string lights the other day (oranges, lemons & strawberries) & I just had to get some! There’s a lovely cushion with oranges on it in store & I might buy a lime green rug.The summerhouse was bought for DD but she’s shown very little interest in it.
Nice easy tea of battered cod, Harry Ramsdens chips ( recommended by customers) & petitpois. I might make a start on our room which needs blitzing & try to reduce the pile of clothes on the stool - how many times have I said that on here?!! So much stuff still in packaging that I need to try on. Some of it will be too big now as I’ve lost such a lot of weight. Will be so good not to feel like we’re sleeping in a warehouse! Have a lovely day everyone 🙂

Happy Sunday all! I keep missing these threads. DH and I are off to watch Six the musical at the cinema this afternoon so 6m old DS is off to grandma’s. He was up at 11, 1am & 6:30 so I must try not to fall asleep in the darkness of the cinema!

Been to the gym, waiting for the tills to open in Tesco so I can pay then coffee at Costa and home for some gardening.

Been to gym
About to do breakfast then walk dog.
Ought to drive home at some point as I'm away lol

Good morning lucysmam and all,
I am just starting on my tea and then lots of laundry to fold.
A quick run round the kitchen and then it will be the snooker final for me today and not much else!
I will do salmon with parsley sauce for dinner tonight.
I hope everyone has a nice Sunday.
Your summerhouse sounds gorgeous, RabbitsRock.

Have had breakfast, off to a friends for lunch her DH will be meeting my DH for the first time. She is a newer friend of just a couple of months. But both DH and her DH are quiet studious nerds so hoping they click. They are immigrants from my Dads country of origin plus she works in education as did both DH and I so lots in common,

When we get home I’m researching stuff online about our planned trips. We just bought a 4 berth Motorhome, it’s an absolute beauty and are now planning a few long trips of weeks and also months as DH has just retired though still doing some work for a couple of Universities and he is on a couple of International research committee's. We plan to winter in the South of France and Spain for about 2 months.

Good morning!
DH has taken DD to football so I’m
lounging in bed with a hot cross bun and two cups of tea.
Plan to do some laundry and make use of the sunshine.
I’ll get up in a little while and some light yoga. I’ll walk the dog in the woods because I love the birdsong.
Dinner tonight is kofta meatballs with rice and salad.
