What are you doing today ?

[KateESJ]

It’s my sons 8th birthday. He’s not with us anymore but I’m celebrating it a little with my kids. We went to his favourite local restaurant for breakfast (he loved going there) and we are currently watching Toy Story which was his favourite movie. This afternoon we’re going to make him a birthday cake.
It’s bittersweet as I wish he was here with us. I had a bit of a cry earlier but and let it out but keeping face around my kids. I love that I can share him with them. Once they’re in bed I can feel what I need to feel.

I’m still off work til next week , I’m going to do a pile of ironing and watch as many Harry Potter films as I can fit in and there’s no one else here.

This could be the best day of my Christmas holiday yet (only half joking).

 

[DoodlePoodle]

Still doing the post Xmas laundry - endless! Took the dogs for a lovely walk. Got home and had to bath one dog who’d rolled in fox shit! . Husband did tax return (geez it’s rock n roll here!)
Currently drinking wine, reading Tattle while said husband watches footie and daughter (23) trashes the kitchen prepping her food for the week as she works away Monday to Friday.
Need more wine!!!

After resisting Harry Potter for two decades (I hate jumping on a trend and then I never got around to it) the urge struck me on Christmas Day and I decided to read all the books. So I’m currently reading the first book and loving it, and when I finish I’ll watch the movie, and do that with all 7 books. It should be a fun couple of months Other than that, I’m going to try to get off Tattle and do some writing of my own today. I’m normally writing 4-5 hours most days a week but I’ve been slacking off since beginning of December.

Went to Ikea to get some storage jars but as always ended up buying things I never knew I needed.

Right now listening to Radio 4 and it’s a play about influencers it’s brilliant

 

[LittleMy]

Finishing off some university essays. I'm at that point where they're alllllmost done but the effort and motivation to do them is low! I want to watch some Doctor Who and catch up on the Christmas episodes I never got to watch on Christmas Day - Call the Midwife, Mrs Browns Boys. My friend from America sent me some Chester's hot fries and I am desperate for some - but I snaffled the whole bag already. Might look on Amazon, see if I can ship some over. And also perhaps search for a gym membership.

I rejoined the gym yesterday. Now I just need to polish off all of the Christmas/New Year food before I go back.

Still off work and pottering around doing stuff like going through the freezer and fridge and sorting out old make up etc. Trying to distract myself from worrying about blood test results I’m getting tomorrow as I am expecting them to be bad!

I hope your results aren’t as bad as you expect!

I'm still off work on Xmas break. Feeling a bit down after all the fun Xmas and new year things, seeing family, going away etc. Going to be productive to take my mind off it

 

[SunshineDreamer]

Took the children to the park this morning to run off some steam and now my youngest is napping so I’m going to take them down to the pool - if I can get the new baby monitor my husband brought to work!

 

[Skyeball]

This morning, I coloured my hair, deep cleaned the bathroom and did/dried/put away 3 loads of laundry. And made some work calls to get ready for tomorrow.
Husband took kids to Tesco for stationary supplies for school.
Currently binge watching Gogglebox while I wait for the roast to finish off. Couple more calls to make once we've eaten.
Youngest kids following art tutorials on YouTube. Eldest kid at work.
Everyone better be hungry!

Wow. How was it? I love the film.

It was brilliant. A bit different to the film, but great in its own right. I also love the film, it’s my favourite!

I have done housework in the flat and now I getting ready to pop into town. Then I will go for a run and have a nice hot bath afterwards.

I took my son ice skating this morning to have some one on one time, just having a cuppa then heading down to Bournemouth to see the Christmas tree festival one last time before it closes for the year!

I felt a little like this before New Years but found that setting my 2020 goals etc really helped get me in a better mood! Also tried to make some fun plans and think of holidays for this year so I’ve got some things to look forward to
