to ask what you are doing right at this moment?

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 in the park halfway round my normal circuit. There's a big cluster of people coming and I've come off the path to wait for them to pass. The toddlers in the group are very erratic walkers

Listening to the kids squeaking their balloons and running around like crazy people. Tbh I think they're sundowning.

I'm in my room, trying to recover from an 'illness' which may or may not be viral.. Feeling pretty shite tbh

I’m sitting on the sofa, browsing MN and contemplating doing a Pilates class (online). DP is doing bedtime with the DSC and DS is playing fortnite with his friends (online, obviously).

Chag Pesach sameach @Bezalelle

Just listened to The Archers. Tea in oven. Chicken & Chorizo Lasagne. Best ever recipe.

Lying in bed with DS waiting for him to fall asleep.
He's 3 and has autism and is currently fidgeting around like hell, taking his quilt off, putting it back on, sitting up, cuddling up, bouncing, and on it goes

Debating whether to have a glass of wine later on. I need to vacuum and tidy the conservatory (his sensory/messy play room) then I can relax with a book or film.

Perched in the kitchen waiting for the spag Bol to simmer sufficiently and garlic bread to be warmed in oven - real mince not Quorn so the kids'll be happy.

Listening to a great playlist on Spotify.

Laying down to rest my sore back and legs as working sat on a dining chair is causing me agony, whilst watching Smallville on Amazon Prime and drinking wine.

Dh is upstairs playing guitar and kids are playing on the switch.

Work has been mental so by the time I'm done I'm good for very little.

Eating dinner. Drinking tea - soon to upgrades you something alcoholic. Mumsnetting.

Drinking peppermint tea, looking at Mumsnet and thinking about joining the rest of my family for a walk up the fields...might just stay on the sofa though

Hah I'm sensing a theme here. Just made some soup for tomorrow, drinking a gin and tonic and eating my turbo doctored Bombay mix. Delicious.

I’m sat in the garden, on swinging chair, mumsnetting, I’ve not left the house in 24 hours, worked all day on laptop, full time hours at home

Eating pho in front of my laptop at the dining table, no one else is sitting with me hence the laptop. DH is eating pho on the sofa, he's now realising this is not a meal to have on the sofa...

Waiting for my spaghetti to cook

I’m sat on a turbo trainer someone kindly lent us before lockdown - warning up before an zoom fitness class. Not feeling much like it though. I wonder if I can claim the internet went down!

Just about to move the kids old IKEA play table from the playroom to the garage so Dh has more space in the conservatory we’ve converted to his office. He gets to seal himself off from the rest of us. Lucky him.😩

Reading mn whilst dh is on his PlayStation and the dc are getting ready for bed.

DC are in bed

So I’m sat in the garden on my 2...or 3rd glass of fizz waiting for dh to finish cooking the bbq roast chicken 😋

Sitting in the garden relaxing in my favourite chair after 6 hours of video meetings, feeding the DD’s and putting a load of washing in/out and marvelling at the peace and quiet as there aren’t planes flying over every 30 seconds.

Sitting on the sofa watching the last Liar, glass of fizzy in hand, waiting for the dinner to cook, git about 20 mins left in the Aga. DH is wfh, more to do than usual as his job is involved in something that has ramped up due to Coronavirus. DDs are sticking to a good schedule getting school work done. Me? I’m literally spending every waking moment (at least it feels like it) doing something to do with food. Either trying to find it online, various companies/deliveries, meal planning, prepping it, cooking it, washing up/loading dishwasher and emptying it again (about three times a day) and tidying the kitchen after. Oh and a bit of eating it. Everyone being at home all day every day is making a massive difference on the food front.

Have just managed to extract a folded up contact lens from my right eye. What a relief! Has been irritating me all day.. Cooking potato wedges in goose fat..

Hiding in DC3s room pretending to get him to sleep - he fell asleep about 20 minutes ago. DH has read stories and is now having a Pokémon battle with DS that I give zero fucks about and makes me want to spoon my eyeballs out, the alternative is to start the washing up, so I'm staying put.

Sitting in my favourite chair drinking a nescafe coconut latte sachet, dreaming it was a Costa. Dinner cooked and eaten, washing up waiting for DP to do. Book written by my ex boss ready to read. Just ordered some sloth dungarees from run and fly. Trying to remember what day it is

Soaking off my powder nails - much much harder than gels! I never want to do this again. The nail salon make easy work of it.

Having a poo.
