My 15 year old is revising.

My 10 year old is vacuuming her bedroom.

My 9 year old is making New Years Day cards for the neighbours. (Don't ask!)

I'm sat on the sofa eating custard and cake. 😁

I neither know or care... I'm at work, while DH and DC are at home

ThisIsNotARealAvo · 31/12/2022 12:23

I have just been for a run and have made two pies for our NYE party tonight. DD13 is doing some homework, DS15 is still asleep, DH is pottering and PIL are reading the paper.

Ginqueen456 · 31/12/2022 12:24

Blitzing the house of all the Christmas mess and decorations are coming down!

Girliefriendlikespuppies · 31/12/2022 12:26

Teen dd is at work, I'm sat on the sofa watching Emma when I should be clearing up the house 🤦‍♀️

I'll get going in a min...

Just finished a wet dog walk. DH is prepping the NYE curry for a few friends tonight. Twins are wafting around. DD1 is revising before she goes to work at 6..

MirandaWest · 31/12/2022 12:28

I’m having a bath. Not sure about everyone else -DS probably in bed, DH doing some watch mending/fixing and DD maybe in bed or doing something else. DCat probably asleep on a sofa

kikisparks · 31/12/2022 12:29

DH is out getting his haircut and 1 year old is napping on me whilst I half watch the Traitors on catch up.

Thinkwicebeforeyouleavemylife · 31/12/2022 12:29

I've just got back from parkrun and post parkrun cafe socialising. I've made a gammon and coleslaw sandwich for lunch using up some Xmas leftovers, and later I'm making bolognese in the slow cooker xx

It's not long ago that I worked in hospitality so never had Saturdays off, I'm loving having my weekends back after switching jobs.

It's not the neighbours she's making cards for, it's me! 😄

Ahh how lovely!! So sweet!

☝️This is what I feel like.

I'm on sofa eating brie, grapes and crackers. Mildly allergic but I have to eat it god dammit, it's too nice to pass.

Youngest DS eating toast (doesn't want anything else). He wants to see dad who is at work today. I've just text mum asking how she's feeling as she wasn't well. She's feeling better.

Older DS playing with the gerbils upstairs, I'm letting him be "responsible" and secretly hoping they don't escape again.

DD is complaining she has crumbs in her bed but it's her problem if she's going to eat crisps in bed. She'll learn.

@BecauseICan22 loving the cards creativity by DC.

Enjoy threads like these. Wishing a great 2023 to everyone.

I'm cooking for tonight. We have friends coming over. DH is cleaning out his car ready for taxi duty and the dogs are pacing restlessly hoping for dropped scraps and wondering what the hell is going on. Once DH has finished the car he will be putting the Hoover round.

I am washing pyjamas and bedding after a terrible period disaster :-(

DH has only just got up and he and DS (10) are eating breakfast and watching Taskmaster.

I need to think about finding a home for all of the many presents that are piled up downstairs.

I feel your pain! Hope you are ok

lolly07766 · 31/12/2022 12:39

@Disneyvillain
Sorry to hear that, sending hugs, I'm from Cambridge if you need any info at all x

Thatsasmashingblouseyouvegoton · 31/12/2022 12:39

Ds1 out with friends
Ds2 in his room playing an online game with friends
Dh in the kitchen making a loaf
I've just sat down after cleaning the loo/utility and bathroom.
I intend to spend the afternoon reading my new books 📚

Afl · 31/12/2022 12:40

DH is on his laptop watching the football

DS (8) upstairs talking to his friends on his Switch

DD (2) sat eating lunch

And I'm sorting bits out to put on Vinted

Shoxfordian · 31/12/2022 12:40

We’ve been out for a massive breakfast; now going to spend afternoon playing Arkham horror before champagne and steak

SweetSenorita · 31/12/2022 12:40

Hopefully nothing. If there is, then someone's broken in .... unless of course my doll and her friends are taking advantage of the fact that I'm out and are having a party 🤔

Flossyhair · 31/12/2022 12:41

It's 8.36pm in my part of the world (Perth). I've just finished stuffing my face with licorice while watching some reality show on Netflix.

DH is on his way home from work and we shall wait up to see in the New Year. We have a bottle of sparkling wine in the fridge and some strawberries as a treat ourselves later. We are more than happy to have a quiet night in these days.

I can't believe we have just under 3.5 hours until 2023.

Happy New Year everyone

Idratherbepaddleboarding · 31/12/2022 12:42

DH is out getting alcohol for the NYE party at our village hall tonight.

DS(13) is still asleep! But I’m leaving him as long as possible as we had a party at ours last night and didn’t go to be til 2am and it’ll probably be even later tonight.

The dog is fast asleep as he also partied hard with us last night and went crazy in the puddles on the field in our walk.

I’ve tidied up after the party, walked the dog and am now taking advantage of the peace and doing my nails ready for tonight whilst developing my fake tan.

Amybelle88 · 31/12/2022 12:42

Everyone is wearing pyjamas, kids are playing with toys and husband is having a bath.

Mum and I are on my bed watching Judge Judy - we lost my nana (her mum) on Boxing Day so we have been taking it very slow.

StStephensTower · 31/12/2022 12:42

Watching Man United game but looking at a massive pile of washing up that needs to be done....

LeonoraFlorence · 31/12/2022 12:42

DH has taken DDs who are feeling better to park with BIL. I’m here with littlest two, feeling sorry for ourselves! I can’t shift this flu type virus. Cancelled plans for tonight, so we will order in takeaway and watch a film before bed.

Phenolet · 31/12/2022 12:42

Husband is having a bad day with his chronic condition so is off to lie down.
Toddler is napping.
I am eating noodles and looking at the shit tip that is my living room. Need to clean up soon!

MintyPrincess · 31/12/2022 12:44

Dh watching news .I'm on MN and ds is on YT.
Very lazy day today.

MeinKraft · 31/12/2022 12:44

DS is in his room watching some rubbish on YouTube.
Baby is having a nap and I'm in bed beside her.
DH is outside with a roofer getting our leaky roof fixed.

I've started taking down the Christmas decorations this morning but will leave the tree up for another couple of days.
