Daily Project Round 10

[Mumtobabyhavoc]

We are a kind and welcoming group supporting each other in our daily tasks to organize and declutter and stay on top of all that needs doing. We share our accomplishments and brain dump our to-do lists in a friendly chat over coffee manner. 😊☕️

Good luck @Peridot1 !!

Happy bbq day @Peridot1 - look forward to hearing all about it on the other side!
We've been tile shopping, no decisions made obviously, just much chat.
This week I've got a bonus day off work, cannot wait but the mum guilt has kicked in as dc1 has mocks so I feel I need to be here for them getting home. Still, I'm going out soon after they go to school to maximise my time to get jobs done and drink coffee
Happy weekend all.
Also, intruiged as to what colour @Mumtobabyhavoc has got that wasn't quite as expected. Purple maybe?!

Have a great day @peridot!!!! 🥳

it seems lighter with a red undertone. 😵‍💫

No mum guilt required @RunningKatie! I doubt you get a lot of time to yourself ❤️ If anything like me and mine they will just want to raid the fridge and be left in peace.

Bad enough with the five year old here - response to what did you do at school today is 'don't know' or 'nothing'. Can't be coherent until snacks have been delivered 😆 I know the feeling.

I am on the patio, all by myself, scrolling on here with Steely Dan in my ears 🎧 ( thanks MN thread) to drown out the sound of next door kids arguing.

How is your mum doing @FourSeasonsLobelia ? Hope she has a smooth and speedy recovery and the next couple of weeks go quickly until you can be with her.
How are you doing @autumnangel ? Any news on the roller skating?
Is today going to be the grand clean up after the bbq @Peridot1 ? Hope you’ve got plenty of help and it doesn’t take too long. Did the weather turn out ok for you? It was a bit mixed here yesterday but dry all day. When the sun was out it was lovely but the air temp with cloud felt a bit chilly.
I keep meaning to say that the food you make always sounds amazing @Mumtobabyhavoc . Has the hair colour settled down yet?
I don’t know whether the rest of you are the same as me but I have quite clear images in my head of what you are all like! (Maybe that’s a bit weird…..)
Anyway, since we’ve been back home I’ve ticked off quite a few little niggly jobs and caught up with all the usual home admin. This morning I need to put a wood preservative on a big wooden planter that DH re-built yesterday - huge amounts of bad language and general cross-ness by him as it was a bigger job than expected. This afternoon we’re going to an open orchestra rehearsal at a really lovely concert hall about half an hour from here which should be good. Then home for a family dinner as both adult DC are here and also DD’s boyfriend.
Have a lovely day everyone whatever you’re doing.

Thnaks @petalpower . She's gone downhill and has a partial lung collapse. My father called about an hour ago and said to maybe put a suitcase together and to know where my passport is and he will update me in about 3 hours.

So I am doing that. Ds1 finishes his final GCSE exam 10.30 tomorrow morning and we have flexi tickets anyway for our trip in a few weeks. DH is still working away but said he can obviously come home to sort various pets out to kennels.

I'm possibly in a bit of a state. I've called a friend who can be on standby for pet provisions as required.

Oh @FourSeasonsLobelia i'm sorry and we are here x

Oh @FourSeasonsLobelia. That’s tough. Especially being so far away. I’m sure you are in a state. Really hope she rallies.

Really sorry to hear that @FourSeasonsLobelia . Sending lots of positive thoughts to your mum and love to you and your family. Xx

Thanks for all good wishes for yesterday everyone. It went very well. Everyone enjoyed it. We massively over catered. Excess food has been distributed to people. The dishwasher will be busy all day. Clean up is happening slowly.

The fire pit was lit in the evening and some people stayed quite late. We will be getting rid of bottles in the recycling for weeks!

Glad it all went well @Peridot1 . Over catering is the preferable option!!!

Thanks everyone for thoughts. Today I am prepping the house and us for leaving. Calling catteries etc. So all the right buttons can be pushed if need be.

Glad it went well @Peridot1

Please all expect my return to whinging about the heat

❤️❤️ @FourSeasonsLobelia

My goodness @FourSeasonsLobelia .sounds like you are doing all the required steps for a speedy departure if required. Sending warm thoughts

And congrats @Peridot1 and H! Sounds epic!

Jobs done this morning - bought much needed new shoes for D, and booked a thing to do with visiting family next weekend.

Still on the mental load list - sorting out a few things for the summer PTA event...

Best wishes @FourSeasonsLobelia ❤️ 💐

I am so happy to hear it went well @Peridot1 🥳

Thinking about you, your mum and dad @FourSeasonsLobelia It is definitely a worry at the turn of events, but luckily she is in hospital getting care. Is your dad okay on his own? Try and stay calm and focused. Sending love and support. 🩷💐

Thinking of you @FourSeasonsLobelia and your family, hope that you've got everything sorted should you need to jump on the plane.
Congrats on the BBQ @Peridot1 - glad to hear all went well.
Busy day here out and about with dc1, I've now sat down with a mug of tea and a G&T. Quite fancy going and getting my pyjamas on and it's not even 8.30pm. Really should be prepping for work and school tomorrow but I'd love a nap!

.... Or just a mug of g&t @RunningKatie ?! 😁😁 Sending you a virtual cheers, I'm just having a little digestiv myself 🥂

Me and dd are waiting for her to drop off

At a normalish time!

Not much done here, btw, so well done to everyone getting things done today. Glad your party went well Peridot. Sorry, I couldn't make it. 😁

Just helped my mum with her bath then exercises. She's cleaning the kitchen from brunch for me as it's already 28c and I don't want to add humidity by running the dishwasher. It is very pleasant inside atm with fans on in all the rooms and a bit breezy outside. I really don't want to go out, but the dc are looking forward to the spray park and a festival. I've got soccer on tv.

Any news on your mum @FourSeasonsLobelia ? Hope you’re bearing up.

I quite like how you covered all bases with tea and g&t @RunningKatie 😆

Thinking of you all!

I need to pull out the fridge/freezer today and clean behind and on top. Might wash shower curtain too.

Morning all.

Hope the news re your mum is good @FourSeasonsLobelia.

Liking the tea AND a g&t combo @RunningKatie.

Still in post bbq clear up here. About to take bread rolls to the food bank. Glasses and unused beers back to Majestic. Tables, chairs, crockery etc are about to be picked up. Just did usual kitchen/dishwasher tidy.

Otherwise plan for the day is pretty slow. A bit of gardening. DH will hose the patio down so we can move furniture back into position. House is slowly getting back to normal. As are we!

Have a great day all.

@FourSeasonsLobelia

Busy weekend - I went to see The Weeknd with a couple of teens on Friday as a 'responsible adult' but we had a fab time - I may have been the only one of 48K NOT filming it for SM. Spent the rest of the weekend getting rid of all the dust from the work done on bathroom and doing the final bits - putting a blind up and sorting out toiletries and towels. 😃
Today

• swapping some pictures around in and out of frames and then will hang them back up.
• tools back in shed
• I am always looking for something! Need to find a magnifying mirror I have and I am still looking for the stereo power supply 😄 EDITED: Found both HURRAH 😄Maybe I will find all my lost grippy socks now 😄
• need to send back some signed paper work relating for pension

Tiny list today, am going to listen to some soothing music and look at my old wrinkly face in all it's magnified horror, have a good one, SoE

How very cool @watchPhone I'm glad you had a good time. Amused me about you being the only one not filming. I can relate. I do not want to see my face under a magnifying glass. Best not to know. I am at my most beautiful straight out of the shower without my specs.

Are you coming back down to earth @Peridot1 and resting up?

Am weary. Today involved stairs, shredding, dust and cooking, in no particular order. Driven a few miles too.

Shower curtain ✔️
Fridge ❌

Usual routine ✔️
