To ask for a bit of company?

[lonelytigger]

DP is away (not the first time this year) for work for the week.

I'm on my own with DDog, DS1 (3yo) and DS2 (5mo).
Bedtime is a bit of a battle as I'm juggling 2 and it gets to this time and I've nothing to do with myself and end up considering just going to bed but I know I won't sleep...

It also doesn't help that for some reason I'm feeling a bit unsettled tonight and checking all the doors and locks and jumping at every noise.

AIBU to ask for a bit of company from you mumsnetters?

Hi 👋 I am alone - Navy wife

Hello lovely! I know how you feel, much as I can usually entertain myself, sometimes you just look around you in the living room and think "well bugger, nothing to do :("

Do you like playing online games or the like? I usually do my go-to game The Sims and build my perfect home. ;)

Lol @ Ddog!

I can't sleep so I'll be up to give you company :-)

Hi👋
It's strange the first couple of nights, but by mid week; you actually enjoy having the time to watch what you like on tv etc!

Ooo Thinking or just not having the bastard thing on :D

Himself uses it as wallpaper and I can't stand telly.

I house sit for my stepsister on my own in a big house. I snuggle up in the sofa cuddling their dog for security whike watching tv.

The dog is a soft as anything climbed spaniel so probably not the best guard dog but it helps

Hello! I'm supposed to be working (upstairs on a laptop, it's an enforced loneliness). I'd rather be downstairs with DH! What about some boxsets on the telly box? We love 'Catastrophe'!

Clumber not climber

You need a box set to watch an episode or two of every night and possibly have a beer. Have you watched The Sopranos?

As long as you never use the term 'DDog' I' happy to sit up with you.

What did you all get up to today? I was caught drinking wine.

Hi everyone!

I don't really enjoy watching TV at the moment and I'm constantly on alert in case DS2 wakes up for a feed (EBF). He's up on average every 2 hours so not great.

DDog is currently claiming the bigger sofa to snooze on and I'm on the small one mumsnetting.

I'm having an internal battle to stop myself binging on the garlic bread in the freezer ( I am fully capable of eating the whole thing on my own)

@VladmirsPoutine what should I use instead of DDog? I find it accurate

Well DP was here until nearly 3 so we went out for a late breakfast and then to a local ice cream place for coffee and you guessed it ice cream.
Since then it's just been me and DCs.

If you've got whipped cream, make yourself a posh hot chocolate with cream. Random but it's fun when you have spare time.

Move away from the freezer, move away from the freezer!

On my own here too, DH working away for a couple of days. I've written two important emails that were earmarked to be sent tomorrow (go me!) and can't get ahead on my third task as it involves phoning the school which I can't do until there is someone there.

You should just say 'the dog'. I once nearly got banned from lambasting a poster that used the term 'DFish' and another time a poster used 'DHampster' and I lost my shit

Crack out 'Keeping Faith' on the iplayer to go with your garlic bread-it's the future!

Eat the garlic bread!
I have the opposite problem (husband and 2.5 year old upstairs in our bed and I'm about to go up) but when im alone I get the same.

another time a poster used 'DHampster' and I lost my shit

I almost got stung by a Dbee today though

VladmirsPoutine 'DHampster' made me laugh far more than it should have.

What breed of dog do you have OP?

Lol at the rage about DHamster

I've put the oven on to heat it but trying to convince myself to switch it off before it's too late the garlic bread comes out of the freezer.... I'm also currently drinking Schloer out of a wine glass because I'm sophisticated like that

Hello there, I am in company but husband is in a bad mood with something work or technology related and we're meant to be watching last episode of Travelers (Netflix, it's good), but he's not ready yet

I've had to take painkillers though so I'm quite relaxed!

I don't have D pets, I have Bcats but B is for Bloody or Bastard lol
The fish are just... Well, fish. I don't like fish. I don't like cleaning the tank or filter or anything that involves putting my hands near them. The other day I lifted out the model castle to clean it and one the buggers was attached to it, I screamed...
They are DS2's fish and I am patiently waiting for them all to die. It is taking far too long... How long do fish live?!

@SoftlyCatchyMonkey1 she's a cockapoodle so her potential as a guard dog is probably around -2 out of 10.

She had to gather herself up for a good 5 mins today before she decided to chase away the sparrows that landed in our garden earlier today...
