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

[lucysmam]

I'm just drinking my first cuppa of the day, in my kitchen spot. The cats have been fed & disappeared back upstairs already. No-one else is up yet, although dd1's work alarm went off at 9am, so I'll nip and make sure she's awake in a mo.

Plan for today is more packing boxes - although our current LL is ignoring the Estate Agent's reference request so it may be a bit pointless <sigh>. And start making some friendship bracelets with dd2. There aren't many boxes and we're not making many bracelets so neither will take long 🤷‍♀️.

I also want to do a bit of cutting out for work, and dd wants to start planning for her next assessment so we'll both do that later on.

If there's time, I'll chill with my paints for an hour before cooking tea. We're having pork loin steaks with garlic roast potatoes and salad 😋. Accompanied by a glass of wine for me.

This evening will be spent reading, with Glasto in the background I think.

What about all of you? 🙂

Morning I’m just having my 2 nd cuppa and want to put washing out but it’s raining and think it’s in for the day . Popping into town later as needs to get a few bits and prob have food out somewhere. Got my grandson from 4 onwards as his mam goin to a party but he’s good as gold so always a pleasure to have him . Realy hope things get sorted with your move lucysmam . Have a great and safe day all 🫶

Good morning. After my Dad ringing me before 8am ranting about the doors they are having fitted and because horror of horrors the old doors are still there, I'm taking my niece to a local Meet The Bees event where we will learn about them, honey and get to wear a bee keepers kit. We'll then go to a 'Spoons for lunch.

The old doors - my Dad after speaking to my Mum who is paying for the doors, I had a text from him that the Carpenter will be picking them up to dispose of them! He gets in a tizz over nothing. My poor Mum has to put up with him 24/7.

Just had a coffee in bed (coffee machine in my room was my best idea ever).

about to walk my dogs before it gets too hot, then packing for a week away at the seaside!

photo of the pups as tax!

Off to local agricultural show to meet family and then dinner with friends .
Early morning dull and drizzle clearing . It’s going to be a lovely day !

Morning all. I’ve been up for a while and have done a bit of a workout (not as energetic as it sounds) and am having an everything bath as I’m out tonight at an event (not Glasto…) DP has disappeared to see friends this weekend. There will be a lot of ironing done with a podcast, and gooseberries picked, before catching the train. I’m eating at the event which is exciting,

No plans as have to wait in for a prescription but I might sit in the garden for a bit

Morning everyone.
Got a slot at the tip this morning, dropping a cake off to my sil this afternoon and have some friends coming round for a bbq this evening.
Looking forward to it all!

Have got an unexpected weekend as 5 hour travel plans to Newcastle Uni open day with youngest aborted due to car trouble.
I’ll be clearing the back of the garden and installing a raised bed, returning library books and pottering round charity shops, catching up on housework while chats with friends. Quinoa, feta, rocket and pomegranate on the menu. DH is away so house feels boring without him.

Good morning @lucysmam & the Saturday gang. Your tea sounds lovely lucysmam. I’m in bed having had a cuppa made by DH & 2 figrolls. Needed to eat something as I took ibuprofen. DH at work but home soon then he’ll be on hand whilst I shower & wash my hair. I have much more movement generally but still struggle with lifting my arms up. It has been so lovely to be able to have proper showers again. Once I’m up & at ‘em, the dishwasher needs unloading/loading & the kitchen surfaces wiping. DD16 has someone from the MH crisis team coming round just after midday. The weather isn’t making its’ mind up but if it stays dry, I’ll go for a walk after the team leave. Trying to up my steps & get fitter. Would like to return to Pilates & maybe take up yoga again - practiced when I was in my teens & did the odd class in my 40s but nothing since. Yoga & meditation are so beneficial. I also want to swim in the sea when I am fully healed. Nice easy tea tonight of decent ham, potato salad, coleslaw & salad. I have cress & raw mushrooms just for me as DH not a fan of either but he will eat the Romaine lettuce, cucumber, cherry toms & yellow pepper. Vaguely remember buying a red pepper dressing from Aldi so will hunt for that. Oh & I may have a jar of baby beets lurking! Love pickled beetroot. DH wants to go for a longish bike ride later. No plans for tonight. Sod all on tv so we might put a film on. Any Netflix recommendations? We like medical dramas & have watched Greys Anatomy, The Resident & New Amsterdam. No horrors or psychological thrillers please. Maybe a comedy series? Have a lovely day all 🙂
Oh yes, forgot about Glasto! Who’s on today?

Morning everyone, I'm lying in bed, just having drunk a cup of tea. DH went to work early and I've been up and fed the cat before coming back upstairs.

I have a lovely day of not a lot in front of me! A tidy up and some washing accompanied by coffee, lunch at my parents and possibly a bit of golf practice later. DS17 is going out with friends and one of them is coming back to stay over and watch cage fighting or something. I'll go to M&S to get something nice for dinner.

Morning all! 🖐

I'm on my second cuppa and will then head out for a 5k power walk. It's very breezy here but warm (it was a warm night!) so looking forward to getting some fresh air with all the other walkers/runners/cyclists out on a Saturday morning.

Then home to do some ironing (DS goes away tomorrow and we go next weekend) and some baking before calling to the shops and no doubt a coffee with my kindle for half an hour.

Prosecco and Cocktails with DH from 5pm so I need to get my outfit/hair sorted for that 😊

Just had a Belgian Bun & coffee for breakfast. Then off to the Chalke History Festival for our second day of three there. Went yesterday with DD1 and off today with entire family. Our fifth year attending and hoping it will continue to be family trip for years to come.

I’ve not long been up. DH and I are going to Wembley to see Linkin Park later so having a slow and restful morning.

We’ll be heading out at about 2 and stopping on the way to eat. That’s my day really.

Hope everyone has a good day.

Good morning @lucysmam and followers, it’s drizzling here, the washing’s on the line 🤷🏼‍♀️
The dogs were out by 6 for their walk this morning, ZDog1 enjoyed chasing her ball tho’ muggings had to do most of the ‘fetch’ bit 🙄, as usual. ZDog2 spent much of the walk sniffing so they’re both asleep now.
After hanging the washing out I have made a big bowl of tabbouleh, my favourite salad, tidied the kitchen and I’m eating sourdough toast with peanut butter before heading into my Shed to carry on with the online botanical drawing class I started this week. It’s really enjoyable.
The dishwasher is on, there’s another load of washing to hang out and dinner’s sorted - salmon, salads, new potatoes and a big glass of Pinot Grigio me thinks 😋
Not a lot else planned!

Good morning all.

Having my second cup of coffee with Glastonbury on the radio. 2 loads of laundry done and breakfast burritos made and devoured. Last week was busy and stressful with a child planning meeting for DS (suspected Asd) and some horrible hospital tests for me. But the meeting was very positive and the tests look good too so I'm trying to shake off the residual anxiety my stupid brain is manufacturing and relax! Am feeling a bit wrung out though. Only 1.5 days of school to go until the summer holidays, thank goodness.
DH is busy doing some work on the house today so I'll do our meal plan and some other chores then prise DS off the Nintendo for a bit of fresh air. It's the cider festival at Spoons so we'll walk there for dinner. Dead classy, us! Have a lovely day, folks.

Been up since 6 -couldn't sleep, made a quiche and an apple pie. Also done a load of laundry. Got Tesco coming anytime in the next hour and then I will strip my bed. My mum is coming over this afternoon, this evening DH will cook and I need to organise clothes for tomorrow.

Im going to chill all day do some laundry.
Got no other chores to do.
So will binge on youtube and watch a series.
Also waiting for argos to bring me my new fan its in it way.

And wait patiently for Monday and Tuesday to arrive so i can watch the next episodes of revenge love.

I'm currently in Lapland. We're about to go to the village cafe, which only opens for a few hours on weekends. DD is grumbling about going anywhere though so she might stay in the house with my uncle's dog who has terrible separation anxiety whenever my uncle goes somewhere (he's gone fishing with his youngest child) so will be whining the whole time. Oh, she just stood up, perhaps changed her mind.

Later on I'll go fishing with my mum and DS, keep a lookout for reindeer and if it's not cloudy tonight I'll watch the midnight sun again. I want to go swimming but I forgot to pack my swimming costume.

I shall also get eaten alive by mosquitoes

@WonsWoo that sounds like my kind of day! Have fun 🎶

@OneLilacEagle which station for Glasto on the radio?

@Natsku probably stupid question - is it warm (ish?) at this time of year? Sounds like a lovely day 😊

Im in bed, having a huge coffee and thats as far as my plans go.

Good morning, lucysmam and all.
DH woke the dogs up early this morning for their walk before the heat kicks in. Big dog really likes her bed, so she was a bit dubious at first, but soon jumped in the van.
We're having a rather decadent strawberries and cream for breakfast this morning and then laundry, etc.
DH is “having a day off” as he's been busy with his (outing) retirement job this week. However, he won't sit still for long, so I think weeding will happen, unless it rains, because, despite the forecast, it's looking quite grey at the moment.
I want to transplant some plants later, too.
A friend gave us a cauliflower the size of a triffid, so we're having cauliflower cheese tonight, with new potatoes and bacon bits.
I am also very excited because all at once, we have dozens of swifts flying overhead and it looks as though they are checking out the nest boxes at the rear of the house for next year.

Tidying and cleaning for DD's little birthday party at home. Of course it'll all fall to me even though I've said I need everyone to help. Plus I have a cold and hormone rage which is a bad combo anyway never mind in a heatwave! I just want to get through the day without melting or demanding a divorce or sending the kids to live with grandma 😆 Any tips gratefully received. Have a nice day everyone.

Good morning! We’ve had our coffee and breakfast (just cereal, nothing fancy) and then I tidied and cleaned downstairs as the dog is moulting like crazy and getting hair all over the place. Poor thing, no matter how much we brush her out there is still more being shed freely during the day. School uniform just been put in for a wash. Husband has gone for a run before the heat gets too overwhelming and DS is making some wolverine style finger claws from a YouTube video guide. DH and son are going to the supermarket in a while to pick up a few bits for the weekend while I have an everything shower. Then I guess some reading, maybe a classic film this afternoon or a few games of uno between the 3 of us. I’m making chicken enchiladas tonight for dinner and I am looking forward to a couple of glasses of wine while
I cook and putting on one of my vinyls - probably Stevie Wonders Songs in the Key of Life because it’s so joyful and feels like it matches the hot summer we’re having. Once DS is in bed we’ll
probably hate watch the new AJLT episode 😄 and then probably something that’s actually good. Husband goes away tomorrow for work for a week so will be nice to just spend some quiet time together this afternoon and tonight.

I’m having an annoying time trying to buy from M&S, which doesn’t recognise my login and then tells me that I’m not online.

I give up!
