to ask what random shit is going on in your world today?

[Merryoldgoat]

The house is chaos. I’m not well. Two children are running around like feral cats.

What’s DH doing? Making creme brûlée.

I don’t care, it’ll be delicious but it’s the last thing we need.

This is lighthearted btw - DH is not a twat or ignoring us/kids etc.

Just home from town. My dd went really pale and threw up in front of Easons so we got a bottle of water and came home. Chicken roasting in the oven and I'm going to have a g and t.

Dd has a uti. Been the walk-in to be told you now have to book an appointment. Bit meh as it's a walk in. But hey ho we waited for a couple of hours and she's sorted now.

DH asleep as he's full of cold.

Me doing nothing except reading mumsnet I might finish off the wine from last night.

Oh Christ! The random vomits are hideous - hope she’s feeling better.

I need to try a bit of cleaning but I so can’t be arsed.

We’re also having roast chicken.

Me doing nothing except reading mumsnet I might finish off the wine from last night

Definitely do this x

Ooo creme brûlée sounds amazing!

I'm currently battling the worst cold I've had in ages and preparing to watch the glorious-ness that is Sunday afternoon football, whist my DP is trying to interest my with his starting line up views. I am more concerned with browsing MN and online coat shopping 😂

DS14 is currently helping DS11 carve pumpkins, the first time I have actually let them loose with the knife to cut out the eyes etc 🙈 I am sitting with purple hair dye on my head wondering if it was a good idea to do it right now as I may have to make a pumpkin carving related dash to A&E at any moment.

Hey, we're having roast chicken too (must put the oven on!) ... otherwise, I'm looking at adverts for horses for sale while DH watches football on the telly. (I haven't told him I'm about to buy (another) horse BTW) ... that should be a fun conversation.

Everyone cooking these chickens will be bake to feed their family for a week

Packing the house for a possible move the week after this one but also mindful that my buyers have hinted to the estate agent that they might pull out (exchanging contracts tomorrow ffs) so also getting the house prepped for potential re-marketing & viewers.
Keeping it all top secret from teens one of whom has made autumn veg soup with focaccia. Currently having a rest and a brew before I head up the step ladder to finish clearing loft.

I’m sat on the sofa eating my weight in chocolate with the cat on my lap and DH is changing the element in the oven.
We were decorating teens room yesterday so taking it a little easier today.

A good parking thread would make my day right now

🤣🤣

Husband is dying daughter's hair. Half black, half red. I gave them both a speaking look.

The cat is still traumatised from being very accidentally kicked in the head by Daddy. She is clinging to Mummy and asking for good red blankies sleeps.

I have a glass of wine. Candle on. It's right dreary.

We're having fish and chips for tea. Wahay, saveloy!

What kind of horse?!

DH has called through that he had 6 egg whites so would I like ‘knock up’ some meringues.

NO I DON’T!

@mbosnz

I really need to dye my hair but I’ve literally just had my bathroom done and if I get hair dye anywhere i will probably end up divorced.

@Merryoldgoat they are very good at clean up. I have nowt to do with it, and they know there will be hell to pay if there's a skerrick of hair dye anywhere. A bit like there was, the last time they did it and ruined two very good towel sets. . .

Trying to get my DD to commit to a day that I can drive three hours to visit her t university with the things she decided she could leave behind but now can’t live without.
All the while treating her gently as she was injected with some drug last weekend at a club and consequently and understandably feeling fragile

Not much going on here but I am now looking up crime brûlée recipes 😋

Got friends staying this week so have spent all day giving the house a really good bottoming inc. under the bed, top of wardrobes etc.

@allMydogisagentleman I hope your daughter is alright. That's terrifying for her - and for you.

Also have the bad cold that's going around so I'm napping and reading. Did a fair bit of damage to a sourdough seed bloomer though. DH at his mom's with brother and dd asleep upstairs after a late night. All is peaceful.

Toddler and DH went to RugbyTots this morning, toddler ecstatic because they had a) sweets and b) a cherry picker 😂. Went into town with toddler later and am convinced people will soon start to recognise "the kid with the bike helmet who's always having a tantrum"🤦🏼‍♀️

Baby DS is very grumpy and clingy today, which is not like him at all, so I'm on holding the sleeping baby duties because he seems to need to be touching a parent at all times today🤷‍♀️

Hello from the other side!
All DCs have left home now, last one only a week ago after returning for lockdown. DH and I are reading. The house is calm and tidy, no sheets and towels draped over every surface, no piles of trainers to trip over. No tinny podcasts or random YouTube shouting from other rooms. The oven is pinging to tell me some tiny delicious delights are ready, no industrial ‘fuelling teenager’ cooking in the household- we had a nut roast for lunch.

It’s lovely!

My youngest is at his dads 😀😀😀 teen is here in his room
So I'm having a vodka and tonic and revelling in the peace
