Except being on mumsnet what are you doing on a Friday night. Is the rest of the world really out while I sit on the couch watching the people I live with sleep on the couch

I attended my oldest (as in longest know friend, from schools) mum and dads funeral today. They died within a week of each other. One of the songs played was the power of love. The lyrics for a couple being cremated together were so apt.

It was sad, but what a way for a couple having been married for 60+ years to go.

Sat with 12 year old DS watching map videos on YouTube. He loves Geography, and to be honest these videos are really interesting!

Lying next to my 4 month old trying not to go on doctor google to research the possibilities of what the lump on my thyroid is while wishing the next 2 weeks until my scan flies in.

Please please don't google.

But I will tell you about my mums lump on her thyroid....... massive invasive operation, with huge staples, a lot older than you, loads of worry ......

Benign .... nothing!

I wish you all the luck in the world!

Time40 · 21/04/2023 22:24

Listening to Uncanny** and painting my nails a deep, dark red (I've got ten perfect long unbroken ones at the moment ... that won't last forever, but it's nice while it does.)

**Note to Uncanny fans - there's a new series, and it's as terrifying and weird as ever.

Letsbekindplease · 21/04/2023 22:28

Yawning, on the couch whilst watching the tv. Wondering what to get my DD for 1st birthday and then my sons 4th birthday not long after. No clue

Crapping myself ( if I'm not careful ). Day 4 of awful gastro enteritis virus.

I know the liklihood is it's nothing but to even have this worry not long after making something so incredible as my baby makes me sad.
I remember when I used to be out partying on a Friday night with not a care in the world 😑

Sorting out odd socks?

Steady now - don't let the excitement get to you too much!

Ha, I know! Who would have know those things go hand in hand. My teenage self rolls eyes.

Drinking red wine at my mothers house ( she has just moved to care home). It's a bit odd...

I can imagine, hope she adjusts well

Two younger DC in bed, eldest DC and DH got back from scouts about an hour ago. We've dispatched eldest DC up to bed and are drinking gin and watching Gogglebox on 4 +1 with DDog snoring and farming next to me.

melisma · 21/04/2023 22:49

Farting not farming 😁he's a clever boy, but not that clever!

80sMum · 21/04/2023 22:54

Right now, I'm half watching the BBC 10 o'clock news on i-player and playing the ocasional word puzzle on the Wordscapes app.

Clarich007 · 21/04/2023 23:03

72 years old, lazing on the sofa, absolutely shattered after spending 3 weeks decorating all by myself.
Looking good, but my god it's hard work. Arthritic knees, so i can't kneel down to paint skirting boards.
Also just started on statins, been quite an eventful few days. Sleeping really well though. 😴😁

PickleOfAConundrum · 21/04/2023 23:13

I'm sitting down stuffing my face with M&Ms and playing catch-up writing to my mates on email and WhatsApp in-between checking out Mumsnet and looking online for clothes for my holidays coming up in July and August. I get distracted if I spend too long doing one thing 😂.

Tarkan · 21/04/2023 23:15

Sitting on the sofa with one of our three dogs, eating salt and vinegar crisps and drinking coffee, and watching Indycar Highlights because DH left it on this channel and went to bed, leaving the remote across the room and I haven't yet been arsed to go get the remote to watch something else.

SaveMeFromForearms · 21/04/2023 23:36

Lying in bed obsessing over A Man.

Saturday morning here, but last night was watching DVDs while having dinner, same as all my nights.
