What you up to, where you from, how old are you? 🤣I’m nosey and genuinely interested about what people in the U.K. (I’m not there now) and around the world are up to.

I’m 44, British but live in Portugal.
We’ve just had nachos and I made Grinch popcorn with my 4 year old Dd and watched the film (in the middle of August 🙄😅)
Its my night to do bedtime, story etc and then I’ll sit on the balcony and listen to music/read…not that exciting!

Anyone else?

54, sitting in front of a fan in SE England and eating ice cream. I might be partially naked due to the heat. 😆

catgirl1976 · 13/08/2022 18:54

We’ve just had a bbq and are now having a bottle of wine in the garden. DS is with us (not having wine as he is 10) and we are watching the chickens antics.

later I’ll be having a cold shower (again) and then we’ll watch a stranger things before DS goes to bed and then carry on binge watching the sandman (and drink more wine)

Oh and I need to locate DS’s missing swim trunks as we are going to the splash park in the morning

We have just had pizzas and off for a walk to see if there are any blackberries to pick. No idea if they are ready yet.

Waiting in the car while my boyfriend grabs our takeaway. Then going back to his to scoff it and watch the meteorite shower tonight with the telescope. It's been a busy day, I've been helping him assemble furniture and keeping his dog occupied - he's just moved into his own place.

  1. Bathing the kids, bed time very shortly. Only 3 days left until the school holidays are over 🥳 my patience is wearing thin Will cram TV into a 10 min slot before going to bed about half 8, living the dream

Soubriquet · 13/08/2022 18:58

I’m 33, laid in bed (recovering from an illness that has kicked my butt for several weeks now), laid in just a pair of knickers cos I’m hot, in front of a fan watching The Sandman on Netflix

Am in England

Topseyt123 · 13/08/2022 18:59

It will soon be time for fish and chips with DH, DD2 (23) and her boyfriend. With a bottle of red wine, of course. Other than that, nothing.

DorothyZbornakIsAQueen · 13/08/2022 18:59

I'm 45, from NW England.

Been out for lunch with my 13yo dd, while dh is out with his brother watching the footy.

Currently sat in front of the fan with dd. She is on her ipad and we are watching the American version of The Office for the billionth time, but its good background TV, whilst we're knobbing about on our devices.

Dd on the Pepsi max, I'm on the white wine spritzers.

SinkingSwim · 13/08/2022 19:00

26, East Midlands.
Having dinner, then will bath baby DD and get her to bed. Then will have some sorbet and chill out on the sofa with the windows wide open hoping for a breeze 🥵

2pinkginsplease · 13/08/2022 19:00

We are in our mid to late 40’s. Central Scotland. With a 20 and 18yr old. We have had a relaxing day in the garden and now sitting in the summer house with the music on playing cards and drinking vodka and beer. Sun is still shining

Holycowiloveyoureyes77 · 13/08/2022 19:00

Area and age please, I’m considering a move back to the U.K. and like to consider what I could be doing and where (if a similar age) if that makes sense!
Some of these entries like water park etc sound like abroad, but I see it’s hot in the U.K. so could be there also 🤷🏻‍♀️

ArtixLynx · 13/08/2022 19:02

41, watching tv, sat by a fan, wearing as little as i can get away with.. waiting for the delivery people to bring me dinner because i am not cooking in this heat... talking to my LDR Boyfriend who's out for the evening with his friends, over messenger here and there because he misses me (aw <3) and its the first weekend in a month we haven't spent together.

gogohmm · 13/08/2022 19:03

Currently looking on local pub websites to see who has air con!

catgirl1976 · 13/08/2022 19:03

Sorry should have said I’m 45 and in NW England

Soubriquet · 13/08/2022 19:04

Lincolnshire here. Currently 26 at 19.03 but the high today was 31. Due to get to 33 here tomorrow

gogohmm · 13/08/2022 19:04

I'm sw it's 38 degrees in my living room, 34 in my garden currently. Lots of pubs and live music here

WaitingForWinter1 · 13/08/2022 19:05

East Midlands, England. 63. Just had a snack and am now watching a programme on BBC iPlayer. It's 31 degrees here and too hot

Holycowiloveyoureyes77 · 13/08/2022 19:05

It sounds so nice in the U.K. at the mo…summer houses and fish and chips and sun 😍

And it’s not so much a water park but some brightly coloured sprinklers the council have put on the front (I’m coastal) so definitely a splash park not a lovely European style water park. We do have an indoor water park 10 minutes away but it’s a) expensive and b) a bit minging. DS loves it but i lm hoping he’s forgotten it exists 🤣

MySleevesMayBeGreen · 13/08/2022 19:06

Sitting in the garden catching the last of the sun before I go for a cool shower.
Been in the paddling pool floating around on a rubber ring most of the afternoon and
off to the lido in the morning, love it there.
Lovely water and perfect for sunbathing.
Early 40s, Buckinghamshire.
So sunny and hot, I’m really enjoying the weather, dogs not so much!

roarfeckingroarr · 13/08/2022 19:06

34, London, just bathed 22 mo DS, drinking sparkling water as pregnant. We've just moved and no internet yet so will sit on the balcony and read once toddles is sleeping.

Nidan2Sandan · 13/08/2022 19:07

41, East Anglia.

Currently sat watching TV, waiting for DH to get home from his 12 hour shift when we will eat pizza and drink wine.

Washing on the line. All very exciting stuff.

Just got in from work, had a cold shower, lying on my bed ... will get up soon and have a Pimms or two and then a quick easy BBQ ... so not sure how my age and where I live is really of much relevance Grin - I've nearly always worked Saturdays (retail) so it's probably the same sort of Saturday night I have had for years wherever I lived ... just substitute the cold shower for a hot shower and the BBQ for a differed sort of meal Confused.
