This is lighthearted but seen lots of threads today about leaving kids alone etc.

Today after a trip out and being exhausted I let my toddler watch TV for about 3 hours!
Whilst my teen had lots of screen time.

I. Also needed some bits at shop and dd was in just a nappy and cba to dress her. So I let my teen (13) sit with her with her whist I ran over.. The shop is in sight..

Im getting take away for the 2nd night in a row.
Both kids have had a fair amount of junk.. Crisps. Cheddars. Cake 2 ice creams and ice lolly.

And I've used my washing machine for such small loads. And re washed the bedding that was washed Tuesday. Because wanted to get as much as I can done and dried before the weekend and dp being off next week to have family time..
And when it cools down I'm going to iron it all lol.

We have been to a paddli g pool 1st thing and local park this eve.

DD and I have eaten 40 ice pops (2 boxes) between us. And a packet of fab lollies.
We took it in turns to go to the freezer.

God I wish I had 40 ice pops

TheLightSideOfTheMoon · 25/07/2019 20:46

I've just noticed the 'What are you wearing?" thread has a part 2.

I'm still wearing the rancid, sweaty pyjamas I was wearing in yesterday's thread.

Not showered. Not changed. Not brushed teeth. Nothing.

YippeeKayakOtherBuckets · 25/07/2019 20:47

I’ve drank six cans of Coke Zero and we had a takeaway.

And, this is bad actually, I’ve used the tumble dryer three times today because it’s actually too hot to hang washing out.

Disfordarkchocolate · 25/07/2019 20:47

Watched tv all day.

Had hoola hoops and a cheese slice for lunch.

It's very hot 🔥

TheRLodger · 25/07/2019 20:47

I took my dog for a walk. It’s been overcast today and it’s not been anywhere near as hot as the rest of the country. 17 degrees max. It was in a shady woody park with an opportunity to paddle.

TheRLodger · 25/07/2019 20:48

Oh also all I’ve eaten today is 2 slices of cakes and a ready meal + 2 coffees

MrsPinkCock · 25/07/2019 20:48

Eaten three normal meals which judging by the other thread is impossible to do when it’s warm Hmm

ChikiTIKI · 25/07/2019 20:50

Made bread dough ( in bread machine) because I thought my mum might have fun baking some bread rolls. Who wouldn't want to turn the oven on to the highest setting while looking after my toddler in this heat?!

I realised when she arrived it was probably a bad suggestion but she baked them anyway!

Just started raining here!!!!! Yay!!!!!!

kiki22 · 25/07/2019 20:50

I ignored my children running half naked and dive bombing the pool so I could read my book fed them full of snacks and ice cream and relaxed while they acted like wild things.

troppibambini · 25/07/2019 20:50

My kids all had fruit shoots and ice lollies in the park at 9.30 this morning.

Littlechocola · 25/07/2019 20:51

Mowed the grass in a bikini and sandals which dh says is very dangerous.

MustBeAWeasly · 25/07/2019 20:51

@thelightsideofthemoon
Why are you wearing pajamas!!! I've been in my pants for two days 😩

Ive wasted a ton of electricity by opening the fridge and holding a fan in between it and me 😊

Thekingintheeast · 25/07/2019 20:52

I have cooked a proper hot dinner instead of cold “bits”. Apparently it’s too hot to cook!!

boringlyboring · 25/07/2019 20:54

Bought plastic straws

Fartymcnarty · 25/07/2019 20:54

I have gone commando all day, eaten 3 donuts, and I’m now sat with my legs akimbo on the sofa with a fan blowing up my dress ahhhhhhh

usersouthcoast · 25/07/2019 20:54

I went to the beach today and haven't bothered to unpack and clean the car. Everything is covered in sand, and I don't care.

Just had a pizza delivered

TheChineseChicken · 25/07/2019 20:55

I had curry for dinner, not salad

EileenAlanna · 25/07/2019 20:55

Sorry, you've definitely crossed a line - I'm Shock Shock Shock that you're even considering ironing.

EmperorBallpitine · 25/07/2019 20:56

I had to be out of the house all day with three kids in local horrible seaside place. Went to the arcade, let them have slushies, felt like a right chav but it was too hot not to! The other alternative was sit on crowded beach with no shade full of drunk red people having bbqs so...

WhiteDust · 25/07/2019 20:57

Passthecherry
They're amazing. I'd like a slush puppy machine in my kitchen. (Are they still called slush puppy?!)

ghostyslovesheets · 25/07/2019 20:59

been to the gym fully prepared to do a 2 hour work out - but my PT cancelled so I came home and did an hour - the gym has air con - my house doesn't!

NancyJoan · 25/07/2019 20:59

I washed dishcloths and knickers in the same load. On a 40 degree wash. The horror.

CarolDanvers · 25/07/2019 20:59

Unlimited screen time as I do most days during the holidays.

Muttered "Dick Head!" after I got off the phone with my difficult ex - their Dad. They laughed.

Let them have coco pops for breakfast for the second day in a row.

Didn't make my ds walk the dog when he moaned, just did it myself, I don't blame him for not wanting to in this heat.

WhereDoesThisToiletGo · 25/07/2019 20:59

I let both builders use my toilet.

I used my tumble dryer on the hottest day of the year (just to decrease before hanging outside)
