Morning lovely lot.

I've been awake since about 4:30 with bad cramps and DD woke up at 6:30. Have washed the school uniforms etc and now I'm snuggled on the couch with a hot water bottle, a hot water (don't drink caffeine during the time of the month because it can make cramps stronger) and my bath robe. Watching old episodes of NCIS and I think I'm gonna he staying here for the day. DD is playing at the coffee table with her L.O.L dolls and she's said she wants a PJ day too.

*What are you all up to?

Have an absolutely wonderful day xx

Everyone up and dressed by 8.30. I’ve been for a run in between the drop off and pick up for DC3’s Saturday morning activity.
Will go home, hoover the house (weekend cleaning job) and make hot lunch for everyone before DH takes DC 2, 3 and 4 out to their Saturday afternoon activity. I’ll do something active with DC1 and then persuade them to make a start on some homework.
Then lazy dinner (probably cheese, crackers, salad etc) and watch Strictly as a family this evening. Though I may iron school uniforms at the same time...

I would say Sunday’s are quieter in this house but that wouldn’t be entirely true!

Have a great day all!

Me man came round yesterday to stay for a week to be my nurse. I've not been well recently and like Mary Poppins her bag is full of goodies. So I'll be ensconced on the sofa today feeding my face and watching boxed sets.

Gooseygoosey12345 · 22/09/2018 09:56

I wish I could be having a rest day but instead I'll spend the day being whined at by a clingy 1yo who nothing is good enough for. Today is a bad day for parenting 🙄 I've quite had enough

Airaforce · 22/09/2018 09:58

My mammals not man!

Airaforce · 22/09/2018 09:59

Ffs bloody auto correct. It should read my mam not mammals.

Santaclarita · 22/09/2018 10:05

Riding lesson soon, then come home, have a shower and go bed shopping with my partner. Then probably food shopping, make dinner, clean the house a bit and keep taking care of my partner as he's sick with the cold I gave him. Grin

Rinoachicken · 22/09/2018 10:06

I’m pulling up my old living carpet and laying a new floor!

MewithaC · 22/09/2018 10:11

Dd has voted for Wagamama today.I have a monster hangover so need that to ease before I can contemplate moving. Her preferred one is Soho so may combine with trip to Primark to spend her voucher. That will kill me or cure me.

wheresmyhairytoe · 22/09/2018 10:13

Washing all the school uniforms and work stuff, stripping the beds and putting the washing pile away.
Then off to the garden centre to buy a bush DS is obsessing about then DD has a dance lesson.
Once home it's Strictly time.

Redgreencoverplant · 22/09/2018 10:22

Tidied our bedroom first thing. Then got DS some new autumn boots and are now in Softplay. This afternoon will be TV and gymnastics class and then Strictly tonight :) Rainy all day here so keeping it low key.

Cblockbitch · 22/09/2018 10:27

home today doing a huge clean up.
Then a nap as i was up in the night unwell and then up early with the DC, swimming lessons this afternoon and then DH and I are out this evening for our anniversary.

vdbfamily · 22/09/2018 10:31

I am meeting 2 friends for lunch, then going to a friends book launch at 4pm and then at 7pm am joining a bonfire procession with a collecting for charity bucket which I will shake for 2 hours walking miles around a local town, I will then come home and finish preparing for Sunday School tomorrow morning(mostly done). I am still in bed now as the rest of the day is busy busy so starting slowly on MN!!

myusernameisnotmyusername · 22/09/2018 10:35

I've started my period today as well op. Cramps not too bad yet. Today DP is off travelling to Asia for work so taking him to the airport, shopping and films with DD I think. Dreading the next two weeks without DP.

Maelstrop · 22/09/2018 10:37

2x dog walks, washing, light housework. Shopping. Out for dinner pre cinema. I’m lucky!

Mc180768 · 22/09/2018 10:37

Having my SGC so their mum & dad can finish decorating their house. We will take my dog for a walk, bake and make a horrendous mess in the kitchen. Then we will have some snacks in front of strictly. We might get the sewing machine out as my SGD is interested in sewing and making her own skirt for an event she's attending.

MsSquiz · 22/09/2018 10:40

DH and I are staying in the Lakes this weekend. I woke up early to have a lovely long bubble bath and we've just had the most delicious cooked breakfast. We are now lying on the bed while DH plans our driving tour route for today.

Hope everyone has a fab Saturday!

MariaYouveGottaSeeHer · 22/09/2018 10:40

Fridays and Saturdays are usually my work days.

So I had breakfast with dh and dcs this morning. Dh has now taken the dcs out as I have a meeting at 11am to discuss a potential new job. I’m early, so am sitting in the car park at the moment killing time!

I’ll go home for lunch after the meeting and will have to pump breast milk. I’ll maybe watch a film with dc1 and then I’ll have to get ready to leave for work at 6. Hoping it isn’t a late one tonight so we can have the day tomorrow, (and so I can maybe catch strictly this evening after work Blush).

BarbedBloom · 22/09/2018 10:42

It is pouring down and I have had a flare up of my arthritis so we are going to binge watch The Good Place so my DH is up to speed for season 3. Perfect

Topsyturvy1 · 22/09/2018 10:42

I’m going out for lunch, watching a show and a few afternoon drinks with friends

DragonSnaps · 22/09/2018 10:42

Mine will consist of me looking and feeling like shit. I had a few too many last night so will be laying on the sofa in my pyjamas and dressing gown feeling like death.

whoknowswhynow · 22/09/2018 10:44

Pj day for us today as woken up and ds has chicken pox! Might have to leave him with dh later and pop out for snacks!

ScrumpyCrack · 22/09/2018 10:45

I have to work so I’ve planned some nice things into the day In order to make it bearable:

7-9: cup of tea in the bath, breakfast and a couple of episodes of Frasier.
9-11: work
11: hot chocolate with cookies
11:15-2: work
2: lunch
2:30-6 work
6: pour a glass of wine and put comfy pyjamas on
6:15 STRICTLY BEGINS Grin

DarklyDreamingDexter · 22/09/2018 10:48

I'm on holiday in Portugal. Lazy morning, followed by sea kayaking, snorkelling and paddle boarding this arvo! Grin

Kim82 · 22/09/2018 10:55

So far I’ve taken dd3 for her swimming lesson then went straight on to my slimming world group. I’m now home, dd3 is currently playing Lego on the living room floor and dd2 and her friend (who stayed over last night) are listening to music and doing their homework. I’m sitting under a blanket on the sofa with the fire on and a cup of tea.

I need to do some cleaning at some point, pick dd1 up from my sister’s house (she stayed there last night), wait for dh to come back from work and then we’re off to Blackpool illuminations tonight. Wrap up warm, chips and donuts on the seafront, play in the arcades, a nice walk through the lights then home again. I’ll put dd3 in bed, stick a film on. It’s my turn for a lie in tomorrow and I can’t wait.

Nousernameforme · 22/09/2018 10:56

Ive been up for a bit it was ds first full week of reception so I was hoping for a lie in but the weather put paid to that. We have painted conkers and made salt dough for dinner snails later and there will be cheese and potato pastys being made later.
Other than that as our internet is spotty due to weather no tv or online games for the dc means it's back to board games, books and crafts. We will never make it.
