Good Morning Mumsnet! What's everyone up to today?

[lucysmam]

I'm just finishing my first cuppa of the day, in my conservatory spot. Both cats have had breakfast and vanished. Boy cat's probably in my window, girl will definitely be in bed with dd2!

So far I've hung some washing out, re-loaded the machine with a second load and had a quick tidy in the kitchen. I'll sort the pots shortly before I make a move to shower.

I'm off out for lunch and drinks with friends this afternoon. Not a thing I want to wear, and my current footwear situation is uninspiring at best <sigh>. Should probably have thought about that before today since this has been on the calendar for most of the month 🙄.

Dd's spending the day with their dad, although they'll probably not do much. She's got a little bit of college work to do, so my guess would be that she'll do that today. Dd1 is not likely to be awake for hours yet, and will probably have a hangover...Life360 told me this morning that she got in just before 6am!

When I get in, it'll probably be bed time 💤 ready to do some jobs around the house tomorrow. If not, I'll find something to watch that doesn't need any brain power.

What about all of you? 🙂

Good afternoon lucysmam and to u all I’m late as my daughter popped in with her new boyfriend to meet us for the first time and he’s absolutely lovely she hasn’t had it easy with her ex husband so deserves someone nice . We are just getting ready to pop to Asda as they all here for dinner tomorrow and I want to get beef then it’s home and chill ready for strictly . Have a great and safe day all 🫶

Wow @Taytocrisps ! Sounds amazing 🎵.

Hello!

I had the luxury of a lie-in until 8.30, and hurried to the supermarket before it got unbearably busy. I got quite a few bargains from the reduced section, so that will all be going in my batch cooking later on today. Then I realised that I had forgotten one staple ingredient, so had to go all the way back to the town to pick it up! I'm praying that my car makes it through its MOT next week. I mean, if it can get me to and from town, it's fine, right?

I have picked up some extra shifts at work this weekend. I was looking forward to the break, but needs must, I suppose, as we're permanently short-staffed. I don't mind milking the cows, but working with certain people can be difficult.

I've been baking today, made some carrot bread which did not turn out well, then some carrot muffins which did (I have a lot of carrots to use up). Going to play a bit of Zelda soon, then watch the volleyball bronze final (European championships) as Finland is in it.

DD is away at camp for the weekend, OH and DS have been spending the day making music. DS also went to the shop for me this morning to buy dishwasher tablets. Then he came back without them because he forgot to buy them so had to go back again

I've had a lovely long lie in after a busy week at work.

DH is at work but will be back soon. DD is practising one of her food GCSE recipes and DS is in his room.

I'll do some light chores and potter around.

Strictly tonight and relaxing.
