Apologies if any similar threads are running. Hope everyone’s had a good week & heading for a good weekend. Chilling out very nicely with a Thatchers Zero & one of the bunnies. He’s such a character,bless him. I really connect with all of them. Rabbits are the best! DD17 is in her room as per & DH is in the bathroom. DBro is down, staying with DF, so I’ll catch up with him at some point. Easy tea later on of southern fried chicken steaks, chips & peas. Posted a load of stuff on Vinted. I’ve made nearly £90 this week which will come in very handy. Have to admit to spending £65 at the charity shop today though! Only popped in cos it’s near to the Post Office where I took some Vinted parcels. I had planned to visit a dear friend in hospital but unfortunately haven’t been feeling brilliant myself. Rescheduled for next week.

DS is just in from a long day of work (out at 5.30am this morning) and is getting his tea which I left in the oven. DH is pottering about down the garden in his shed. I'm thinking of going to read in bed very shortly.

Fun and exciting Friday nights in our house!

Just back from dog walks. All dogs were stars which was lovely (they are all rescues with issues and if they see something scary - which changes every day - some walks are decidedly more stress than others!) Cuddling my cat just now (she’s elderly and somewhat of a diva, lol) while I try to persuade her premium tuna is worth eating..

LancashireButterPie · 10/04/2026 19:49

Well done with vinted! I tried it and I'm just not that organised.
Have a lovely weekend everyone.
DH and I are off on holiday for 2 weeks from Sunday, very excited here.

FabulousFreshias · 10/04/2026 19:50

DD 18 is at work, hubby and I enjoying some red wine and dog is fast asleep! Hope you all have a good weekend

TheLightSideOfTheMoon · 10/04/2026 19:52

One of my pet crabs is going through a moult phase and has burrowed and hiding from the world.

I’ve just put some sardines in a bowl and am waiting for him to scuttle out and eat them. I want to see him!

They are exhausted and hungry after they’ve moulted.

Hedgesgalore · 10/04/2026 19:56

Dog is sleeping on the sofa next to me.
Rugby on the tv, I have a beer.
Dishwasher is on, kitchen closed 😁
Dh is wfh at the kitchen table, he'll do a few more hours then clock off.

I've walked the dog down to the beach today and cut the lawns all before it rained. We had teriyaki broccoli and chicken with some brown rice for our tea, very nice too.

FoolOfShips · 10/04/2026 19:56

DH, I and 1 x cat are all on the sofa with TOTP (1999) on the telly. Not sure where our other cat is; she was on the bed earlier.

Listlostlast · 10/04/2026 20:01

I love a good run on Vinted, it feels so good, both to clear the house a bit but also to make some money! Well done 😊

Both my kids are asleep, 4yo and 1yo, thankfully after a week of hellish bedtimes and nights because they’ve both had the cough/cold from hell, so I’m snuggled up in a blanket rewatching Vanderpump Rules from season one… again 😂 husband is working and will be til late, so just me and the dog!

Hedjwitch · 10/04/2026 20:04

Am curled up on the bed with a sore back and a class of wine. Annoyingly,dh has just joined me and is watching footy on his phone. Now the cat has arrived too!
DS is in his room.

Chelsea26 · 10/04/2026 20:05

DP and I are on the sofa with the football about to start. I have a lemon cider and he has a beer but I’m moving onto white wine next. I bought the cider thinking it would be warmer this evening.

None of the kids are here this weekend so we can do what we like but have nothing planned! Might go for a nice country walk tomorrow.

We've just discussed that neither of us are particularly hungry so I probably won’t make a dinner, we have cheese, crackers and grapes in the fridge and soup dumplings in the freezer if we want to eat later. Was going to be some sort of chorizo/tomato/pasta situation so we can have that tomorrow if we’re here…

DreamingOfGeneHunt · 10/04/2026 20:08

We're just back from a holiday at the seaside. I've got laundry on, we've had chicken burger sandwiches, child is in bed and I'm about to watch Luther.

greenteaandlimes · 10/04/2026 20:13

DD13 came back this afternoon from a sleepover & hangout, she’s exhausted and we watched the whole new series of Malcolm in the Middle (I cried several times). She’s had a snack tray for dinner. It’s DH and my anniversary so we were able to go to the pub for a drink at lunch while she was out, and we just opened a bottle of prosecco to celebrate.
Nothing exciting for dinner but we have leftover stew so at least neither of us need to cook. Few more drinks, get DD to bed, maybe some tv, its rock n roll here lol

YelramBob · 10/04/2026 20:16

Orthodox Easter here so loads of fireworks going off in the distance, cats are not very impressed 🤨

Kalo Pasxa!

frozendaisy · 10/04/2026 20:21

At the kitchen table with home made garlic heavy pizza

Sorting out the staying up to watch re-entry logistics later

Teens content, music on, cold glass of white wine. Easy Friday evening.

lucysmam · 10/04/2026 20:38

I'm scrolling randomness & half watching Sister Act 2, with a big mug of peach tea. Will probably head to bed soon - I want to be up early ish & actually finish decorating the kitchen tomorrow. Then there's a little bit of diy to be done when I work out how 🤔.

Dd2 was getting in the shower...don't think she's been in yet 🤷‍♀️. There's a chance she's asleep already!

Dd1 has a friend to visit at her uni accommodation in London - she's finished for the year but staying there for the moment.

troppibambini6 · 10/04/2026 21:08

Dd1 had just left for work she will be back at 2am.
dd2 is upstairs revising she’s been swishing about with new hair after 3 hours in the hairdresser this afternoon.
ds1 is sat chilling watching it a celeb with us.
ds2 is in the shower.
Me and dh are on the sofa with both dogs and the heated blanket. I’m debating making something to eat but I can’t figure out what I want. Everyone else has burgers earlier.

BlondeFool · 10/04/2026 21:11

Home alone with the dog. Recovering from H Pylori bacteria so on a brutal antibiotic regime. Feel beyond awful.

PearlsTeapot · 10/04/2026 21:12

On the sofa with the dogs and my heated blanket. I've been watching the new series of Love on the Spectrum, which I just enjoy so so much!

DS15 is asleep after a stressful day- he had a series of attempts at a blood test but they couldn't get any blood. He has a needle phobia and was so brave so he came home this evening and just crashed out.

DW is at the hospital visiting her grandma who had a hip replacement yesterday. She's now got a chest infection so everyone's very worried.

I want to go to bed but I won't be able to settle with worrying about grandma, and about DW driving home in the dark- that's my fear not hers, she's a confident driver.

pizzaHeart · 10/04/2026 21:17

I had more than usual walking today and less sleep so I’m in bed already. DD is in her room. DH is going to join me soon and we will watch How to get to Heaven from Belfast.

Gingerwarthog · 10/04/2026 21:23

On the sofa with dog and DH. Both sets of parents and DD here so we have a houseful. DFIL reading a detective novel, DH reading something about maps. DD and DMIL and DM talking about going into town tomorrow. DDad watching golf. Chilled - better than Christmas when we all had flu.

DilemmaDelilah · 11/04/2026 09:06

I'm waiting to see whether my Son in law will be popping in with my granddaughter and his new family on their way to Cornwall. We're not perfectly guest-ready, as we only got home ourselves yesterday evening, so it would be nice to know!
