We've only left the house to take the dog out on account of DS having a sickness bug this week. He's currently on the sofa in the living room watching some vampire thing on Netflix. DH is in the snug watching Columbo. I'm sitting in the kitchen with a wine enjoying a Mumsnet scroll after sorting out old clothes most of the day!

My bloke and DS are playing minecraft together, DD is lying in bed as she's knackered after an afternoon of football and volleyball, and I'm trying to gather the energy to get up and do something.

MoggetsCollar · 18/04/2025 17:34

Teenager is in the bath. DH is working on his laptop on the sofa and I'm scrolling mumsnet. We have music on.

Just had a mini tornedo sort of thing rip through the back garden and take the very tall and heavy wooden back gate right off its hinges. Frightened me and the cat to death!

Must be going around, we also have a ds looking pretty sorry for himself on the couch with an emergency sick bowl. Dh is gardening. Older kids are revising.

It's normally fish and chips tonight but I don't have the heart to be tucking in to that while ds is on toast rations.

JojoM1981 · 18/04/2025 17:36

Dying my hair. Was supposed to be going to the black country living museum today but daughter was sick,so going tomorrow.

ICantBeDoingWithThat · 18/04/2025 17:37

Waiting on the sofa with a drink, whilst DH makes tea. Fish chips and petit pois.
Watched Paddington in Peru this aft. Really nice, low key day.

mummybearsurrey · 18/04/2025 17:37

DC1 off to scouts. DH driving DC1.
DC2 on sofa reading
moi….. drinking tea in the greenhouse!!!!

Hatty65 · 18/04/2025 17:38

DH is messing about under either a car or a lawnmower, not sure which at present.

DS is watching The Walking Dead, I think.

I'm cooking tea (it's in the oven) and scrolling MN whilst waiting for it to be done.

Dog is hanging hopefully around the kitchen.

justkeepswimingswiming · 18/04/2025 17:39

One dc is showing his nana fortnite.
Other dc is playing his pc.
im making a picnic as we’re going out for tomorrow.

One dc is showing his nana fortnite.

God, give me the patience of a nana.

YouBelongWithMe · 18/04/2025 17:41

DH is sick and on the sofa watching Smallville with our middle DD15 (who has just finished an English past paper and then had it marked). DS17 is revising maths for his exam in a couple of weeks. DD13 is pottering about her room organising her shelves to display her funkopop collection better. I've been batch cooking for going back to work next week - have made a hm made sauce for meatballs, a curry, GF flatbreads, soup and made a fruit compote out of what was looking a bit rough in the fruitbowl.

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 18/04/2025 17:41

Both DDs are at PIL’s house for the week, DS is eating his dinner, DH is writing his essay for his course and I’m wrapped in a blanket on the sofa eating cheezios.

Crispynoodle · 18/04/2025 17:41

We’re cleaning and tidying to welcome our DD (27) and her 3 friends from uni

Sunblocker · 18/04/2025 17:43

I’ve made bouef bourguignon (can make it but maybe not spell it!) making a veggie pasta bake for DD2 whilst she snoozes on the sofa. Eldest watching something in the front room and DP entertaining me as I cook! Wine open, heating on… bliss. May light the fire too- go me!

Sparticle · 18/04/2025 17:43

We’re catching up on the final of Gladiators in DS’s break from GCSE revision and very excited that I managed to get tickets yesterday to the live tour!

Topsy44 · 18/04/2025 17:46

I’m watching Big Bang Theory on the sofa with cat on my lap.

DD13 is in her room pottering about.

I need to move soon though as getting hungry and need to make dinner but cat is putting paid to that at the moment😀.

Trinity69 · 18/04/2025 17:47

I’m scrolling while watching Tipping Point and being grumpy it’s not The Chase. Everyone and everything is pissing me off (perimenopause). My AuDHD son (15) is sitting next to me jabbering away to himself, DP is cooking dinner for the kids and my daughter (13) is already refusing to eat it because she hates us all. Just found out she’s pierced her 2nd’s and 3rd’s with a needle in her shit tip of a bedroom and put cheap nasty earrings in. Has no interest in anything I say about infection or sepsis. It’s fun. 🙄

RichWithNoSelfControl · 18/04/2025 17:49

DD is playing with her sink in the living room, "washing" her dishes and getting water on the carpet

DS is drawing ALL the world flags and sticking them to the fridge

DH is doing cable management because he got a new monitor today, seems like a waste of time given it'll have to be done again soon when the new Switches arrives

I've just fed our murder and need to wash the dishes before getting the kids ready for bed. I've got a stupidly long to do list which I'm ignoring and instead I'm scrolling Mumsnet, ordering crap I don't need online and just made my 4th G&T.

devildeepbluesea · 18/04/2025 17:51

Just me and DDog this evening, DD at her dads for the night. DDog and I are sat on the sofa watching Wish Me Luck on DVD. I’m just about to make a second helping of chicken & sweetcorn baguette.

Early night tonight, then out with friends tomorrow for bottomless margaritas…

TeenLifeMum · 18/04/2025 17:53

Home from a soggy dog walk and I’m considering taking dd1 to a car park to drive the car for the first time… might leave that until tomorrow as the weather is so awful. She’s been having lessons but we only just added her to the car insurance. I’m nervous 😬😂

gingercat02 · 18/04/2025 17:55

DH and I are watching Come Dine with Me, waiting for DS to come back from the driving range so we can order tea.
We have been in the garden all-day so just having chill.

HappilySquare · 18/04/2025 17:57

JojoM1981 · 18/04/2025 17:36

Dying my hair. Was supposed to be going to the black country living museum today but daughter was sick,so going tomorrow.

We used to go there lots with the DC. It's bostin' 😄

Tisfortired · 18/04/2025 17:59

We’re all just laying around after eating cottage pie for tea. Me and DS1 made mini egg brownies earlier and are waiting to be able to fit them in with some ice cream!

Youngest is playing with his train track and watching Moon and Me, I’m checking the weather to see if it’s worth a trip to a national trust property tomorrow.

mrsfollowill · 18/04/2025 18:07

I'm scrolling on here on 3rd G&T. DH is watching something on his Ipad and adult DS doing the same. I'm going to get started on making tea soon to eat around 7. Got some amazing looking lamb kebabs from our butcher and will have them with mini roasted new potatoes and Greek salad. We will maybe find a film to watch after we eat. I'm shattered so probably a hot bath and early night for me- got loads to do tomorrow!
