Eating my bowl of carby porridge in the rain and wondered this.

Help me feel better about my messy flat and share with me some un-mumsnetty thing you have done today?

I fed my boys a tin of beans for breakfast with shop bought bread (possibly a MN point for a cooked breakfast?)
I am only washing the shower curtain now as it was getting mouldy
I only got a shower just now
Eating a bowl of hot, carby porridge which is very nice.
My top floor flat is a mess and I don't care Smile

I washed the dishes that were left from last night.

I haven’t made the bed and have no intention to.

I have a half done load of clothes in the dryer from yesterday. The water tank is full and I keep walking past in instead of sorting it.

I have the children a chocolate (!) biscuit each to keep them quiet whilst I did said dishes. I’ve also had CBeebies on for more than is healthy for their tiny brains this morning.

Eating peanut butter from the jar with my index finger, while on MN at work....peanut butter doesn't contain palm oil though...Grin

Ignoring my 9 month old whilst he takes apart my fresh laundry that i just piled up because i'm too shattered whilst thinking i may get a bottle of wine tonight except i cant because i'm pregnant and would happily drink the whole bottle.

9 month old is roaming around in just a nappy because i cant be bothered with the struggle of clothing him whilst he screams and fights :)

I live somewhere that practically rioted when they thought we may be getting that fast food place Jebuschristchocolatebar, I really fancy a bacon and egg mcmuffin now 😞

Jinglejanglefish · 04/04/2019 10:42

Slept in pjs AND underwear
Haven't done any laundry, and probably won't today.
I'm having a glass of fruit smoothie (fruit 😱)

TheLightSideOfTheMoon · 04/04/2019 10:42

I stroked and kissed my cat while she sat on the kitchen worktop.

I have the tumble dryer on.

Am going to have eggy bread for lunch.

BluishMoon · 04/04/2019 10:44

Only just had a shower, had nothing but 2 strong coffees, bed unmade, washing up from last night still to be done, DS gone down for nap still in his pyjamas Blush

Home77 · 04/04/2019 10:45

Is it a thing not to kiss and cuddle pets? that helps our immune systems though and DC's...

@TheLightSideOfTheMoon we had eggy bread for lunch yesterday, with ketchup and loads of salt. Delish 😋

Mummabear2212 · 04/04/2019 10:46

I'm binge watching ER and eating custard creams for breakfast while DS naps. I'm pretending I can't see the bricks all around the living room and stepping over them instead of tidying them.

MotherWol · 04/04/2019 10:47

Let DD watch cartoons while she ate breakfast, so that I could get dressed in peace.
Ignored the filthy state of the flat, because I just don't have time.
Did the nursery run/commute by bike, instead of driving.
Ate a rice crispy cake for breakfast.

SudoWouldnt · 04/04/2019 10:47

We had a friend over last night who DS is obsessef with. He wouldnt go to sleep until nearly 12 so is still snoozing now.

I have had 2 cadbury mini rolls breakfast in med and I'm still not up/dressed.

Littlechocola · 04/04/2019 10:48

I’m still in bed, slightly hungover from a bottle of wine and DH has just made me tea. (Today is my Sunday).

Littlechocola · 04/04/2019 10:49

@Mummabear2212 I haven’t seen ER in a million years!

Home77 · 04/04/2019 10:49

Having rocky road later, made with DCs with biscuits, choc, marshmallows and syrup. A Nigella recipe. yummy.

Watching HUTH and eating crumpets.
I am on a late shift at work today though.
I also drove DS2 (17) to school as it was raining. Shock

IdaThoughtso · 04/04/2019 10:50

Does trying to sound 'unmumsnetty' count as being unmumsnetty? confused myself Hmm

catisbeingsick · 04/04/2019 10:53

Just sent my unvaccinated kids off to school Grin

doubleshotespresso · 04/04/2019 10:54

Smoked in the car on return from drop off and drunk gallons of coffee with toast, jam and butter. I have a perforated ear drum right now so the coffee was/is essential if anything is going to be done today. The toast is an excuse for the breakfast I never but should eat as due to antibiotics I am needing the sugar.
Smoking no excuse whatsoever

Mummabear2212 · 04/04/2019 10:56

@Littlechocola I've 'rediscovered' it. It's better than I remember!

CilantroChili · 04/04/2019 10:58

Still in bed. Just hopped in here after a quick visit to literotica Wink

Getting up in a minute tho

Lana1234 · 04/04/2019 10:59

Not showered yet, waiting til 18mo has his nap (can’t wait for that battle)
Ate a Belgium bun for breakfast and had too much coffee
Had CBeebies on for 18mo so I could get laundry done, went and put it out still in my pjs, I don’t care today 🤷‍♀️😂
Already looking forward to a glass of vino when the boys in bed tonight 😬

BloodyDisgrace · 04/04/2019 11:02

Still procrastinating instead of just signing my younger cat for a debating society. Very cruel of me, I know, as he is clearly rather bored at home, understimulated.

femidom12 · 04/04/2019 11:04

Left the house without 'getting my ducks in a row'

BlueMerchant · 04/04/2019 11:06

Bought Gregg's mince pies to make with frozen Aunt Bessies mashed potato pellets for kids' tea as I really can't be bothered to make tea later. OH is eating out and I've got a Gregg's sandwich for lunch and strawberry tart for tea!Blush
