I've used the tumble dryer more than needed as too lazy to put on the airer as I normally Would. Everytime I put baby down for any time He creates. I think he's coming down with what dd has.

Haven't made our bed

Toddler dd still in her pjs and had ice cream for lunch.. Tbh she's not well and it's all she's wanted.

Made a really short car journey whilst mum was here with kids because again I am truly in a lazy knackered mood.. It took longer to drive and park than would have to walk.

And for tea tonight we're having beige food.. Nuggets and chips..

Let's hear yours.

While my DH is taking the kids to clubs, I am reading this thread eating a huge bag of M and Ms that I smuggled in earlier!
Fabulous idea!!
Mine is similar. Instead of eating wholesome organic flapjack to fuel today's cluster feeding marathon, I called in at the shop and have demolished a share bag of maltesers.

Put something in my bathroom bin

I have been a paragon of Mumsnetness today. Fruit and yoghurt for breakfast. Salad for lunch. Volunteering for a charity all day.

You'd have thought there was no hope for me, but I got home at 5pm and have nearly finished a bottle of wine, moved the cat off the sofa, fed him early to shut him up, eaten at 6.30pm and now I'm looking for trash tv to occupy my evening.

DesignedForLife · 28/02/2020 18:49

I worked from home and wore DH’s dressing gown to stay warm.

Ironfloor269 · 28/02/2020 18:51

Didn't wash my bed linen today.
Didn't wash the jumper I wore twice.
Went really early for school pick up and found a spot right next to the school, where I parked and waited for ages till home time.
Also, like OP, drive to work (I usually walk) 5 minutes walk away because it was pissing it down.

alltakingandnogiving · 28/02/2020 19:26

Been drinking wine since lunch time as I attempt to meet a writing deadline (it's nearly midnight where I am posting from).

Had sex with DH this morning so that he would be more inclined to help me with my task. That's actually prostitution isn't it?

Blingismything · 28/02/2020 19:31

Read the DM
Scoffed ate two cream doughnuts on the drive home from my part-time career bog standard job
Didn't call my Dcs by their nns
Didn't 'shop my wardrobe'
Allowed my dh to watch utter shite on TV instead ofvhim helping to prepare our meal
Sent infantile Snapchats to my daughter who is at a non Russell Group university

MrOnionsBumperRoller · 28/02/2020 19:32

Answered the door to an unexpected caller. Been nice to MIL.

ClientQueen · 28/02/2020 19:38

Bought a cake jar. Not even sorry, it's delicious
Spoke to a neighbour (I even went round without ringing first)
Answered the door Grin

We’ve just had mc Donald’s for dinner and dd even had extra nuggets then we went to Costco and bought lots of unnecessary crap

thunderthighsohwoe · 28/02/2020 20:00

Had a Coca Cola energy drink that I picked up from the village shop on the way to work. Poured it into my covered cup and let the children in my class believe it was tea.

In my defence we are due Ofsted and my 15 month old no longer likes bedtime.

thunderthighsohwoe · 28/02/2020 20:01

@ClientQueen what is a cake jar???

ClientQueen · 28/02/2020 20:02

@thunderthighsohwoe I've added a pic :)

Christmasnamechange19 · 28/02/2020 20:38

Packed DC1 a plastic packaged lunch (one of those build your own wrap ones). Plus two Jaffa cakes.
Let both DC have two cakes at the cake stall. Then crisps (DC1) and chocolate (DC2) after swimming. Then Moams for pudding after dinner.
Gave DH a blowjob whilst the DC were downstairs on screens.
Wore pyjama bottoms in between getting home from work and the school run (tbf it was because my trousers got wet coming home so I hung them on the radiator, but I do tend to live in them anyway).
Used a toilet brush.

lljkk · 28/02/2020 20:47

Ate a lot of fruit.
18yo DD is out tonite. I'm not sure when she'll be back, I feel no need to know.
Let Big DS have unpleasant prejudices.
Asked middle DS to keep his teacher happy so I don't get emailed by her again.
The house isn't clean. I don't mind.
Didn't shower yesterday.
Letting the old cat slowly decline from kidney failure (no heroics).

CigarsofthePharoahs · 28/02/2020 20:49

Fed my children pepperoni pizza this evening. Let them stay up late watching a film too.
I haven't used my loo brush today, but I probably should.
DH is out down the pub with his mates. He'll probably be in quite late and I really don't mind.
I'm also a SAHP with school aged children. Oooh.

AlpacaGoodnight · 28/02/2020 21:11

Told my neoghbour it was fine that their builders van was blocking me from getting on my drive (and meant it), I really don't feel hard done by that I had to walk an extra 30 seconds to my house!

Odoreida · 28/02/2020 21:14

Taken children to the pub after school

AlpacaGoodnight · 28/02/2020 21:20

@ClientQueen those cake jars are amazing! I had a chocolate orange one last week, I need to try the peanut butter now! No idea who you are but looks like we may live near each other unless these are more common that I thought!

HoldMyLobster · 28/02/2020 21:26

I did a presentation to quite a large group and I kept saying "You guys." I considered using "All y'all" but I just can't carry it off with an English accent.

What is the correct MN phrase when addressing a group?

TwoZeroTwoZero · 28/02/2020 21:29

Wore my PJs under my coat when we went out earlier on.

thecatsthecats · 28/02/2020 21:32

Took my second day off sick this week.

SynchroSwimmer · 28/02/2020 21:33

Frolicked naked on the beach followed by a naked sea swim.

4 mojitos for lunch

Dynamic solo synchro swim display In hotel naturist pool - after said lunch...

Marshmallow91 · 28/02/2020 21:35

Currently eating a "yum yum". For those of you not in Scotland, its a long bit of pastry smothered in icing sugar. It's definitely at least a million calories. Grin

Cuddling the dog in bed while my baby is asleep in her bed next to ours.

My partner is through in the living room playing xbox, like he does almost every evening to wind down. Not intending to LTB because I couldn't care less how he spends his "free" time, as long as he's relaxing and doing something he wants to do.
