I'm just drinking my first cuppa of the day - not in my conservatory spot - the table's full of things I moved out of the kitchen yesterday 🙈. Boy cat's in the window, watching the cars on the road, girl's gone back to bed with dd2 💤.

I have the washer on for the first load of towels, and last night's few pots soaking in hot water. The washer does not sound healthy this morning! I'll shift and wash up shortly. Need to take my tablets first, then sort them for the coming week.

Today's plan is to replace a little bit of the sealant in the kitchen, where it's coming away, and a second coat of gloss on the door frame. I need to order some mesh tape on ebay too. They won't take long so, this afternoon, I'll sit down with my peg dolls for a little while. None are ready to go to work yet, so that's my plan for this week's afternoons!

Dd2 will, no doubt, do more revision. She's been busily writing herself q&a's for her upcoming Spanish speaking exam. I'd hazard a guess that today will be maths!

We'll have an early ish tea of bangers & mash with veg and gravy, tidy the kitchen and then get sorted for the coming week at work. I'm half dreading it - my teacher's on mat leave so I have temp cover until summer.

Tonight I'll look over the new crochet pattern I have. It's a kit that was a Christmas gift from a colleague so should be fairly straightforward.

What about all of you? 🙂

Slow and lazy morning - coffee, juice and overnight oats.
Talking to my DD about random things - we love to do that!
Tidied kitchen, need to do a load of laundry, prepare spare room for husband’s parents who are visiting and do a few other household tasks.
Will then have a nice walk in sunshine with DH.
Sausage and mash for dinner. Need to dh about an hour’s work too.
Lovely. ☺️

Been up since 5 (just can’t sleep
properly grrrr) watched some tv , put a wash on and loaded dishie with supper stuff and then took my mum to the airport as she’s off to Portugal with my niece for a few days - drove back the scenic route and now watching hoarders with a cuppa. I believe there will be football on tv at some stage unfortunately but then we are making a roast dinner and generally pottering about

Hello all!

A small lie-in by my standards, and up by 9. Weetabix with added ground nuts/grains/seeds and a spoonful of diced tinned peaches. Lovely.
A productive hour or so hoovering the downstairs, then mopping the hard floors. That always feels like a job well done. Then printed off the bits I need for this coming week's private tutoring visits.

Hoping for a lazy afternoon! Bit of tv and my book, hopefully!

Tea will be chicken thighs, potatoes and veg. All very simple.

It seems to be national bangers and mash day if this thread is anything to go by!
