I'm just drinking my first cuppa of the day, in my kitchen spot. The kittens have been fed & girl cat has gone up to snuggle with dd1. Dd1 wants to move & has text me moaning about the cat being on her leg 🤣. I've reminded her the cat's tiny & moveable.

We've got a fairly chill, but still productive, day ahead of us here. I've already got the washer and dryer going (dryer for towels so dd2 can shower early). We all need to pack for overnight in Manchester tomorrow; I'm half done already so I can help dd2 - I've even got out a small crochet project to fill at least one train journey. I might look for a second, but that means more to carry 🤔.

I'm planning to finish the two sets of peg dolls I'm currently painting, and then mark up some more ready for painting. I might get to starting painting them too since the others are mostly in need of their details.

We're having pork loin steaks, probably with salad, for tea. Followed by nice early showers all round - Self Care Sunday scrubby everything shower for me. I might ask dd1 to pop a dye on my hair once I'm showered, if I cba (probably not!).

Tonight we'll all just chill - dd2 is rewatching 9-1-1 so she'll probably carry on with that. I'm crocheting a yeti for a display at work so I'll do a few more rounds of that. Then all in bed early, ready for getting up at the buttcrack of dawn (as dd1 says) 🤣.

What about all of you? 🙂

Biscoff McFlurry machine broken 😡
Seems to happen quite a lot.

Never mind I'll get a vanilla ice cream milkshake when I get home in an hour.

Nursing a hangover 😅

Took my wee boy to cup final winners parade in town. He isn't massively into football but I thought we might regret not going if it takes another 35 years to win one!

Good Afternoon @lucysmam & The Sunday Crew. Missed yesterday’s thread. Really struggling with pain & discomfort 😢 I woke around 7.30 but went back to sleep when DH got up at 10 & didn’t wake until gone 12.30. Liquid morphine definitely played a part in that! I don’t feel I can do my physio today (meant to do 4 times daily) but will keep moving my fingers & wrist. Tried out a Whoosh delivery earlier which is ok but they have limited products available. Did a big Tescos order last night for delivery after 10 tonight. Yet another load of washing is on - since we sorted through the bedding & DD16 cleared out some clothes, the machine has hardly stopped! Still got whites, a delicate dress & DH’s cycle gear to do. He’s trying to decide whether to go for a ride later although it’s quite windy here. DD16 had a meal deal as part of the Whoosh. She has no plans for today. It’s our wedding anniversary so DH & I are having a special meal tonight & might watch “Paddington in Peru”. DD will sort herself as she doesn’t like what we’re having. She refuses to eat with us anyway. Wish I’d thought to buy a bottle of AF fizz. We decided not to do presents or cards this year & DD hasn’t bothered for quite a while now. She was great as a kid. Hope everyone is having a good a day as they can.

Dh is out. Dd is asleep having been up all night. Ds and I are just having our delivery from Paul. I'm having latte and a pastel de nata.

Just saw Leyton Orient lose the championship play off final; my late grandad's team. Up the Os! Or sadly not this year.

Thinking about when I'm going to put my slow cook Greek lamb shoulder in the oven.

Hello everyone just catching up. I really love this feel good thread btw! I’ve taken the kids to the beach for a windy but sunny dog walk today. Stopped at my parents for a roast dinner and catch up which was nice. Might have a chilled evening and a bath. Enjoy the bank holiday everyone.
