I am sitting in car, catching up on MN and answering a couple of emails whilst waiting for DC having music lesson.
Thankful for a bit of a breeze today!

Playing scrabble with my mum. Waiting for her to make her move now and trying to figure out a word when most of my tiles are the letter i

ThomasShelbysfagend · 03/07/2025 16:41

Just logged off work.

Feel absolutely dead on my feet today, meno insomnia and weeks of travel is catching up.
So also eating a bag of crisps. Yes, yes I am. BEFORE tea. Ask me if I care… no, no I don’t.
I bloody love crisps i do.
Going to have a bath.

Today can fuck off actually.
Glad you asked OP! 😁

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 03/07/2025 16:41

I’m not very well today so I’m feeling sorry for myself whilst watching DCC : Making the Team on Channel 5!

Wynter25 · 03/07/2025 16:43

Eating fish fingers. Will have a glass of wine in the bath soon

ChippySauce · 03/07/2025 16:45

Oh I hate that @Natsku , especially when you swap then get practically identical letters!!
Who's winning?

@EineReiseDurchDieZeit I hipe you feel better soon flowers 💐

@ThomasShelbysfagend I get you - crisps are life!
Plus it's a food group in itself, so you're fine 🙌

Scrolling shit, waiting for dd2 to get home, and dd1 to finish in the shower & make me halloumi 😋. We got in at 1:30am & I am so ready for bed so will shower and go to bed after the halloumi.

ChippySauce · 03/07/2025 17:03

Will you all stop talking about food!
Crisps, fish fingers, Halloumi., wine - I'm stuck in the car here with no food! 😂

@lucysmam 1.30am eh? Where have you been you dirty stop out ? 😉

lucysmam · 03/07/2025 17:07

🤣 @ChippySauce I went to a gig in Manchester with dd1. Not someone I'd have chosen myself but it was alright actually. Last train back was at 11:15pm but went a weird way home ish & arrived at 1am. I'm knackered now but dd didn't want to get the late train alone.

Loveduppenguin · 03/07/2025 17:10

logged off work a half hour ago, plonked on the couch watching “rich house, poor house” and thinking about making dinner…I don’t want to get up though 😭

ChippySauce · 03/07/2025 17:17

@lucysmam OK. I'll let you off this one time seeing as you were accompanying your DD and you promise to share the Halloumi with me 😉😆

@Loveduppenguin in true MN fashion -
Takeaway. Now.

Sat cuddling my chunky little dgc just 12 weeks old!!

JustAnInchident · 03/07/2025 17:19

I was trying to cook a risotto but my 4mo was absolutely insistent she needed feeding this minute so I’ve chucked all the stock in and am hoping it won’t boil dry while I’m feeding! My 3yo is doing his best parkour attempt around me which is terribly exciting to the dogs… nothing like a nice calm house 😂

lucysmam · 03/07/2025 17:19

🤣 you'll have to fight dd for the halloumi! Don't worry, the late night will not be repeated --until next weekend's Trnsmt trip 🎶

lucysmam · 03/07/2025 17:20

Oops, strikethrough fail 🙈

She beat me. I got the z at the very end and managed to make two double point words with it yet I still lost, though only by a few points.

ChippySauce · 03/07/2025 17:28

Is it bad you've made me rummage through DC's school bag for anything edible!

Spoiler : the packet was already empty 😭

What are you doing?

I’m scrunched up in my chair with my new rescue pooch snoring her head off while occupying most of the space. She keeps opening one eye and giving me a dirty look. She’s a poppet and makes me laugh 😍
I should get up and do something but cba.
If it’s cooler I will take the dogs out for a wander then find something to eat; for some odd reason I fancy roast lamb but a) I don’t have any and b) it’s ridiculously expensive so isn’t going to happen any time soon….🔜

ChippySauce · 03/07/2025 18:42

I’m hooome!

@Shesellsseashellsnotinmystreet How lovely! Baby cuddles are the best. Congratulations to you.

@JustAnInchident Hope the baby is now napping, and you’ve got a nice bowl of risotto with the parkouring 3 yo 😅

@lucysmam I’ll be keeping an eye on your shenanigans 🤭

@Natsku that sounds like a very good game there. I love scrabble. Well played, both of you 👏🏻

@Zippedydodah aww! Photo please , she sounds adorable!
Do you know what, I also fancy a roast dinner, but alas, I am not organised enough to have the ingredients in, so DH is doing a quick pasta dish for him and DCs, and I will have a baked potato with prawns in Marie Rose sauce, with salad and avocado and bacon, one of my favourite meals!

Just finished my tea and now sitting in the garden relaxing, trying to get the oomph to get ready to help at scouts tonight

MrsSethGecko · 03/07/2025 18:53

Eating chicken and pasta and watching Tom Hardy do the Cbeebies Bedtime Story.

I do have a child with me, for the record.

Takeaway. Now.

I would’ve loved to take away, however we are rural and getting a takeaway means getting in the car so that’s almost the harder option 🤣🤣🤣 I got up and I made a lovely beef stirfry with rice. My belly is full and I’m back on the couch.

Eastendboysandwestendgirls · 03/07/2025 18:57

Just eaten and now looking for a Michael Madsen film to watch. I loved him in Kill Bill, but he was so nice in Free Willy 😢

MrsSethGecko · 03/07/2025 19:04

@Eastendboysandwestendgirls it took me far too long to realise that Michael Madsen and Mads Mikkelson aren't the same person.

Lilacspring · 03/07/2025 19:10

I'm also glad of the breeze,I've just got off a packed tram,for the past 10 minutes I've been dodging swinging rucksacks!

Natsku · 03/07/2025 20:20

Now just finished playing Declaration Whist and Alias with my family, lots of fun.
