How’s Your Saturday Evening Shaping Up?

Hope everyone’s having a good Saturday so far. I’ve kind of wasted mine a bit although the weather has been all over the place so I couldn’t make a decision as to what to do. Original plan was to go to a National Trust property & photograph the beautiful roses & poppies. DD17 & I are members. The only trouble with taking DD is that she sometimes gets overwhelmed then we have to leave after only a short time. I’ll probably go alone on Monday. Have a £5 voucher to spend in the shop. DH is ironing a pile of clothes to go on Vinted. Some are already on but need new pics taking. I collected a pair of M & S green suede block heel sandals that I’d bought from a friend who sells for a charity. She always has stuff in her front garden that you can take & donate money later - I picked up a couple of diamanté trimmed cowboy hats for DD & her GF to wear at a concert next week. They’re a bit tatty & need cleaning so my donation will be small. Chippy tea tonight. We haven’t had it for ages as it’s expensive, although I’m a lightweight & only have what they call “half chips”. Wish they did small fish too. DD due back on the train sometime after 9. DH & I might find a new series on Netflix as he’s getting a bit fed up of “The Good Doctor”. Or we could watch a film. Won’t be a late night as I have work tomorrow.

We took youngest ds to football training for a couple of hours this morning. He’s joining a new team so was nice to chat to the new parents and watch him making friends.

We’ve had a really really busy week so we purposely didn’t plan anything today. Dh had taken the two Ds to the gym, dd2 had been in her room revising for an assessment for most of the day and has just headed out to a friends house.

I made a roast as I’m out at netball with dd2 most of tomorrow afternoon so won’t have time.

Dd1 has been out and about came in for dinner and has now gone to her boyfriends.
No plans for tonight going to relax, watch TV and make a list of jobs that I need to do next week.
We are about to start a kitchen renovation and extension so need to clear out utility, kitchen and shed.

I love these threads!

I'm on the settee watching 'Ready Or Not 2' but I keep.pausing it to water the plants, empty the dishwasher, scroll a random thing online...!

I've been housebound since 31st December but I gathered up my skirts this morning and walked to the end of the road and back (not at all far btw!). I feel so accomplished! Wasn't easy, pain isn't nice, but I did it and can do it!

I decided to celebrate with one of those supermarket Indian meal bag things. I thought I'd be brave and try a jalfreizi (sp?). They didn't have it so it was substituted with a madras. A day of firsts! 😁

Currently sitting out in the sun on a campsite in Wareham. DP and I have come away in the camper van.

Today we drove to Lulworth and hiked along the coast seeing Durdle Door and all the pretty scenery. We had a swim and a sunbathe on Lulworth Cove and then headed back here to chill.

I have wine, he has beer, at some point one of us will cook chorizo, halloumi and flatbreads to have with hummus and then we’ll turn in.

Heading to Weymouth tomorrow morning before driving back to London to start a new week!

I’m sitting outside Costa just finishing my iced coffee. Then home to prepare salads for a bbq I’m going to tomorrow and wrap the birthday gifts to take. Also need to do my nails .

I have hideous tattoo flu and I’ve been helping MiL declutter.

It’s been a long day.

Tonight we’re just hanging out and watching a movie.

Came home from holiday yesterday so we all have done our own thing a bit today - washing, cooking, grocery shopping, allotment tending. This evening I made halloumi kebabs & couscous, dd1 with boyfriend & me dd2 and dh watching a film. Its been a lovely chilled day!

I was at work this morning but it went smoothly and with nice people. Popped in to see my adult daughter on the way home and had a nice chat, and a cuddle with her dog. This afternoon I was home alone, so caught up with some reading, housework and online training for work. We had an early tea once dh came home, and I washed up while he took washing off the line and got it folded and put away.
I've just run a bath so will luxuriate for a while then an early night with a sleepy tea and a book. I'm hoping to be up bright and early tomorrow to get some gardening done as it's meant to be quite hot later in the day I think.
