How’s Your Saturday Night Shaping Up?

I’m cooking chips to go with the quarter pounders that DH has just grilled (he’ll add cheese slices once the chips are ready). Will serve the burgers in toasted brioche buns with gherkins, mustard & sauce of choice.Oh & cheesy coleslaw although it’s a day out of date. We’re watching The Dambusters. Frozen it whilst DH puts the bunnies to bed. DD16 is in her room. I caught a glimpse of her bottom sheet earlier & my goodness it needs changing! I have no idea how she gets in the bed with all the stuff! She will sort herself out for tea. I’m drinking Kylie AF sparkling wine which is ok but I prefer the rose version. Might watch another film after The Dambusters. I need to catch up with yesterday’s Emmerdale. Also planning some theatre trips.

Very chilled here - had tandoori lamb chops and bombay potatoes for dinner with all the dips/chutney/bread/rice and poppadums. I'm all ready for bed as in make up off and dressing gown on. Just drinking cold G&T and will brush teeth and roll into bed soon. Everyone in (including young adult DS) doors locked for the night. Content. No work until Tuesday for all of us!

Had cod in a herb crumb with veg and baked spud. DH and I watched The Lovely Bones, I read it years ago. Then he while he was looking through paperwork I went on my games console and chatted to 2 friends for an hour whilst gaming.

I hope you manage to get at least some rest, if not a whole night of good sleep. I 🤞🙏all your “ niggles” are wholly unrelated, and your next scans come back completely clear…

Sending you 🤞🙏 and 🤗.. Sleep 💤 well. 🤞

Thank you. Somehow I slept 11 hours which is unheard of for me.

Aah man. Where are you? Hope you’ve had a good hols though aside from this hiccup.

I was on Cyprus. The holiday was amazing thanks, flight home was delayed by 25 hours though which wasn't ideal. At home now though thankfully

Sorry to be a downer but I’m sitting alone after my partner and I have decided to separate but still live under the same roof for the next few months and co-parent for the sake of the children (we have a 20 month old and a seven week old), the stress of two under two has really taken it’s toll on us 😢 hoping we can work things out soon

I’m so sorry to read this…. ( sorry that it wasn’t on Saturday night).

I had my DS similar time difference, and it is really horrific at times….. not all the smiley social media crap that unfortunately you have to tolerate ( mine are just 19 and almost 17 now). I used to have that when DH “ helped”, it would usually by taking DH1 somewhere. I struggle to remember if he ever took them both and just let me sleep, have a bloody bath or watch crap telly in bed… 🤷‍♀️😈🤷‍♀️…

I really hope you both take a deep breath and try to get through this. I would beg you up avoid looking at the unreal and unattainable crap people post, and realise you are going through what the majority of people in your position do, and, “ it will pass”…….

Sending you a 🤗. Good luck….
