I am sitting at my desk at home, working until 8pm - with a gin, and surfing Mumsnet.

I have to split my working days into two, to fit around my DS 2 and my DP. I work one shift in the morning and then from 6pm-8pm

I have just put 2 jacket potatoes in the oven , we are going to have jacket potatoes, sausages, beans and cheese, and watch rubbish when I finish working.

Sitting beside DD in her cot waiting for her to fall asleep so I can hoof it downstairs to a glass of wine and a massive strawberry tart

Drinking G&T in the garden and trying to avoid my ex and toddler. I should also be working as I haven’t finished the tasks for the day, but frankly IDGAF.

Getting ready for our Passover Seder! Just DH and I this year, which will be strange. We're about to FaceTime MIL for a bit before we light the candles.

Eating Cadburys chocolate fingers.

Watching Friends and listening to the birds Smile

And wondering where the random cigarette smoke smell is coming from.. nobody in our house or the neighbours smoke. Must have been someone walking past which makes no sense as our front drive is really long. ODD.

(I'm pregnant, that's probably why)

Apart from laughing at reading what the tin foil hat brigade are going in about in the 5g thread, I’m playing a pretty full on role playing game with old school friends, half of them in the U.K. and half in New Zealand Smile

Sitting in my garden having just watered the greenhouse , just chilling after work, enjoying the quiet and the birds and having a cold beer .

CeriseClementine · 08/04/2020 19:05

Lying on the floor of DS' nursery facing away from him so he knows I am here but that it's not playtime, in the hope he drifts off soon.

mbosnz · 08/04/2020 19:09

Sitting down, with a (not so) wee whaite waine. . . with the ranch sliders open, enjoying the smell of the fresh spring (and slightly rural) fresh air, watching the Hairy Bikers. Trying to ignore the siamese cat swearing her head off at me. Oh good, there's a bee for her to try and eat. This should be fun. . .

Slith · 08/04/2020 19:09
