Hope everyone’s having a good one. Chilling & watching “ Ambulance “ whist waiting for Corrie to start. DH is putting the rabbits to bed. It’s pretty cold out there. Harry Ramsden’s battered giant cod are in the oven & I need to put some chips in soon. Having peas with it. DD16 will sort herself out. I’m really tired so will hopefully have an early night.

Sounds like a nice evening @MarmaladeSandwich7

I'm watching the Dog house whilst waiting for the jungle. Dh is out with ds2 at the local workies. It's mainly men on a Friday playing pool. Ds2 is back away tomorrow so I'm up early taking him to the train station. He's in the RN.

Bloody lovely thanks - everyone is out, I've got a G&T, chocolate, fire lit, full control of the remote.
I'm planning nothing more taxing than some online Christmas shopping and holiday browsing.

Fire is blazing, Lethal Weapon 1 on TV, nice drinks. Fabulous evening ahead!

OSTMusTisNT · 28/11/2025 20:05

Home Alone until 9.30pm. Sitting watching YouTube while knitting a jumper 😆. House feels cold so bumped thermostat up 2 degrees earlier, still cold!

Desperately want crisps, have no crisps but not doing a 12 mile round trip to nearest supermarket as it's freezing.

Just realised I've only had 2 coffees and 2 peppermint teas today, no other fluid so better make an effort to hydrate myself. Probably guaranteed to need to pee at 3am though 😭.

LadyHexham · 28/11/2025 20:14

It's pretty good.
Wedding anniversary today so we've been out & about, nice lunch.
Hub cooked dinner now we're in front of the fire, with wine, and rugby on the TV.

I've eaten a full 150g bag of coop salt and chardonnay vinegar crisps today. I only went in to pick up a parcel and get milk 🙈 I blame dh and ds2 for not wanting any once I opened them. They go off if not eaten on the day I know they don't.

Peridot1 · 28/11/2025 20:59

I’m in bed. Was awake with migraines the last two nights and still feeling a bit washed out. Had fajitas for dinner with DH and DS and watched Celebrity Race Across the World from last night and then came to bed to let DH watch Celebrity Masterchef. About to start reading my book. And praying I don’t wake in the night with another migraine.

Oh they're amazing crisps, so full of blood pressure increasing salty goodness. I had a Co-op £3 off £10 spen voucher appear amongst the junk mail and have considered buying several bags of the sea salt and chardonnay 😂.

TheChosenTwo · 28/11/2025 21:11

Very nice thanks, just dh and I in tonight, we had a Chinese takeaway and I’m now sitting by the fire watching I’m a celeb. If we’d have known the youngest wasn’t going to be back until late (scheduled to be back at 11:30) we’d have probably gone out but actually it’s been quite a nice relaxing evening.

Bayroot1 · 28/11/2025 21:11

@OSTMusTisNT oh you need to stock up being so remote! 😉

braaaiiins · 28/11/2025 21:22

I had a lovely dinner with my boys and a glass of rosé spritzer that i won in a raffle last week. Now bingeing my way through my iPlayer list and listening to the weather while i knit on the couch. Honestly living my best life

IndigoIsMyFavouriteColour · 28/11/2025 21:26

Watching Stranger Things with our older boys. Can’t really get into it. Had a lovely day, went out for lunch then sorted our youngest Christmas present. Very chilled in front of a roaring fire. Nice

CurbsideProphet · 28/11/2025 21:33

Small child couldn't get to sleep so we've not watched Race Across The World as intended. Ah well they're only little for this short time!

WinterBerry40 · 28/11/2025 21:38

I'm in my pjs with a blanket over me and scrolling on here . Dh sat next to me watching some documentary on submarines .

SilkiePenguin · 28/11/2025 21:41

Just had aligot and cabbage from the farm shop, it started off purple but was green when cooked. 🤔Then shared a big packet of minstrels with DH. Now having a cup of tea. Gave silkies some carrots and cabbage.

DH had his hair cut. Now putting up new velvet curtains in the dining room and the cat is fascinated. Also put some filler in the walk in wardrobe where there were a couple of holes before we repaint tomorrow. DD told us she's coming back home a day earlier for Christmas and back next Friday. I love Race Around the World but watched that yesterday and have watched Ghislaine Maxwell film.

mrstjones · 28/11/2025 21:47

I've just got into bed, I'm working this weekend so have been listening to music while getting snacks/clothes/bag ready for my 5yo DD to go out for the day with my sisters and cousin tomorrow. Also done some ironing, prep for dinner tomorrow night, meal planning for next week and finished the Tesco order which is coming tomorrow. Kind of looking forward to working the weekend as I'll be the only one of my team in so should have a nice peaceful day to make a dent in my to do list.

frozendaisy · 28/11/2025 22:36

H finally home all had homemade pizzas watching return to paradise after a full day with the eldest teen and youngster came home happy with lots of news

Christmas presents, needed winter clothes bought today

Tintackedsea · 28/11/2025 22:56

Shite. I have Covid (I think) and I’m so unwell. Also have a uti. Third in six weeks. Unbelievable. Feel like hell. All started on Sunday and all still ongoing.

Need a recommendation for something easy to watch.

Have you seen Ted Lasso?

Bayroot1 · 28/11/2025 23:38

@Tintackedsea and sorry you're so ill.

Tintackedsea · 28/11/2025 23:42

@Bayroot1 I have! Annoyingly I’ve just cancelled my Apple subscription because I binged Slow Horses. I still have Netflix though so might do a Schitts Creek (somewhat apt…)

Thanks for thinking of me. It’s pretty miserable.

Dh and I have watched Ted Lasso 3 times 🙈 Lucky ds2 is just starting it.
The Forsytes is quite nice have you seen it? I think it's channel 5?

Bayroot1 · 28/11/2025 23:50

I need to go to bed as up for 6am. Dh and ds2 are still out. I was waiting for them but am waning.

tobee · 29/11/2025 00:03

Bad luck with having covid @Tintackedsea

Haven't done most of the things I meant to do this evening (story of my life) as scrolling on Mumsnet mainly. Was supposed to be sorting out some clothes and laundry and stuff.

Had a couple of b&w Googie Withers films on in the background, very winter afternoon viewing.

Dd been out dog sitting and fell asleep when she got home, ds went out late to go to his friends for a weekend thanksgiving party - one is American and does this every year.

Everyone eating separately today.

Dh lit a fire at my request. Just chilling now thinking about what I'll do before bed. Drinking a coffee.

CNDflag · 29/11/2025 00:11

Been out for drinks with my girlfriends, lovely evening. In bed now, about to turn off the light. Got to be up early in the morning for my Pilates class.
