I am at work waiting for someone to call me before I can disappear. I don't want to take the call in the train, so I am waiting here. As long as the trains work, it's not too bad, I can do everything else from home this weekend if needed.

DP is at work, DS is asleep, I've been working my way through my stash of M&S sweets and contemplating cracking into some more of our Easter chocolate stash... But really, I should just go to bed.

I'm in the kitchen on MN on my laptop.

Dh is in study watching something on his laptop.

Ds is on the PS4.

Dd and her boyfriend are monopolising the living room and watching a film on tv.

All good.

I’m at home only my own as DH away this weekend. All three children asleep. Hurrah! I’m drinking Limehouse aromatic gin and fevertree Mediterranean tonic with orange and pink grapefruit and lot of ice. Also trying to read a book and cuddle the spoilt needy dog simultaneously. Not easy.
I’ve been up with the youngest since 5.30am so not think I’m going to hold out much longer

Exactly the same scenario here. Child (18 mo) asleep. Husband and I in living room on our phones. In credit to me I'm only on mine as I tried 3 times to start up conversation with my hubby only to be told he was on his phone so I gave up! 🤦🏻‍♀️

Bumbalaya · 10/05/2019 21:34

Just got DD to sleep, DH putting DSD to bed and I am aiming to watch at least 30 minutes TV with him before I fall asleep!

IncyWincyGrownUp · 10/05/2019 21:38

Eldest is out at band, younger two asleep. I’m communing with a cup of tea and some random crap on YouTube. Should head to bed, but can’t be bothered to move.

Lookingforadvice123 · 10/05/2019 21:40

Yes, but I've got a 3 year old who went to bed at 7pm and an 11 week old who was up with us, but unsettled every night so needs entertaining. He sleeps 9+ hours though! Currently sat in bed in the dark on our phones having put said baby in his crib half hour ago.

Will miss this when they're teens though!

GinTimeAtHome · 10/05/2019 21:42

Well I’ve had my pj’s on from about 4.30 pm...literally as soon I was home...

And we have been in bed since 8.30...dh is watching YouTube videos and I’m on here...fun times

To be honest it’s been a long long week and both of us are exhausted

Charley50 · 10/05/2019 21:43

I just had to drag myself off the sofa to do a wee, I'm so lazy.
Just watched Would I Lie to You, and remembered I have a mini-crush on Lee Mack.
DP is watching Japanese sushi-making YouTube videos.

Wincarnis · 10/05/2019 21:43

DP has got a mate over for the weekend, they have gone to a gig & a few drinksh
I am dozing on sofa with ipad & ddog

Charley50 · 10/05/2019 21:45

Oh and I'm on MN, as per usual. It takes up most of my phone usage.

Leftielefterson · 10/05/2019 21:46

Netflix and chill for us winky face

Leftielefterson · 10/05/2019 21:47

Who am I kidding. Netflix no chill here. But we do have wine!

Yabbers · 10/05/2019 21:53

I just read to DD for an hour and a half. I said we’d finish the book, I didn’t think there was that much left. I had many housework plans for tonight, prolonged bedtime story has put paid to them so I’m faffing about on the Internet instead. I should get an early night as a ten year old who is an hour late to bed might be easier to deal with if I’m not grumpy from lack of sleep. But I’ve just discovered there is an event challenge on in Merge Dragons so I may be some time....

Husband is watching a movie with Gerald Butler (in it, not “with” him on the settee 🙂) I have no idea what’s going on, but occasionally look up to see yer someone else die in a really gruesome manner.

strawberrisc · 10/05/2019 21:55

@Purplespup16

I just spent the last hour and half cleaning my downstairs.....

That must have been one FILTHY ladygarden!

whyohwhyowhydididoit · 10/05/2019 21:56

We’ve been married for over 30 years. We recently had a weeks break alone in our holiday/future retirement home. All we did was lie on adjacent sofas and read or mess about on iPads until about 8.30 at night. Then he’d head off to the local bar, I’d pour another glass of wine or cup of tea and go to bed before he came back.

Occasionally I’d look up and take a look at us and think “OMG, we are SO boring’ but on the whole we were perfectly happy with the situation. The overwhelming passion of our early life has passed but it’s been replaced with a deep contentment in one another’s company.

Drogosnextwife · 10/05/2019 21:57

I'm in the bath on MN. Just ordered a pair of trainers though so I'm pretty excited about that 😂

Purplespup16 · 10/05/2019 21:59

@strawberrisc 🤣

KTMP16 · 10/05/2019 22:02

My DSD started singing along to Cascada on a tv advert (shes only 8) so iv been on youtube playing some classic tunes from my clubbing days! DP & I both singing away....not sure if DSD was actually loving it or just humouring us to stay up past her bedtime lol

Bowerbird5 · 10/05/2019 22:04

DH is away at sea and I’m in bed as I have had an exhausting week.

Strawberrisc 🤣 I love that comedian.

SheChoseDown · 10/05/2019 22:05

Been making baby food and cleaning kitchen.... Bf isn't home yet. Bringing takeaway with him though 😄😄😄

. Exciting times yo

happymummy12345 · 10/05/2019 22:06

My husband is at work. He often works 14 hour days. Won't be home until pushing midnight. I'm used to nights on my own once ds is in bed

pickletickled · 10/05/2019 22:13

DH is at work until tomorrow.
I finished work at 6, came home showered, pj's on.
Currently in bed MNing with sky news on in the background.
I have a bottle of water, a bag of cheesy dorito's and a lidl Turkish delight.
I know how to live! :)

dimdarkashian · 10/05/2019 22:18

I was induced at 6.30pm, sent DH home at 9.30pm as nothing happening. I'm on MN and eating a blueberry muffin Smile
