What have you done today #7

[watermelon sugar]

Hello hello

So the other day I ordered makeup from look fantastic (which I dont usually do as I have no clue about make up) so I'm quite excited! I gets a text at 7.30 this morning saying 'your look fantastic delivery will be here between 8.32 and 12.30....' so im like OoOOoOoooHH. Went and opened the front door in sheer excitement

My friend came up from Liverpool today! Was so nice to see him we had a sit in the garden and the baby wandered round the garden. I got everything ready to go out, baby in pram, my bag ready, locked up. Then looked down and realised I still had my slippers on imagine the scenes!! Then we had a walk down to the Costa Coffee. He went in and got me a vanilla latte but I'm like 99.5% percent sure it was just a normal latte we then went into the shops. Has anyone ever been the Range with the weird fucking lifts? That you have to press and hold the button..? Anyway baby watermelon had a MELTDOWN did not like the damn lift. Cried all round the top floor of the range. Childless people were glaring at me, I was glaring at them back. Ended up getting him out the pram and lugging him round. My friend offered to hold the baby down the escalator but I was convinced he was gonna drop him, I eventually let him and watched as they went down

We walked home and it was about 1ish. No parcel? I was fuming, about to bell look fantastic myself and kick off when I actually opened the text and it said 'will be delivered on Friday..' didn't read the full text did I.. woops.. my fault

We got the baby in the car and drove to mcdonalds cheeky. Then my friend went and I had a lie down while baby napped. Socialising tires me out x

My fella came back, asked if I wanted some lunch. Broke it to him that I'd had a mcdonalds. Should have seen the scenes. He acted like I just told him I had an affair

Him: what did you have?
Me: a big mac
Him: it sounds like you're describing having sex with another fella

We went for a walk round the block then we got back and I made risotto for the babies tea. My fella was being v. Passive aggressive all day about my betrayal so I ordered him a mcdonalds while he was at the shop putting the lottery on. I got a triple cheese burger today doesn't count on my diet. Treat day hun x
I did a workout this morning so ill let it slide

Man united are playing tonight so won't get much conversation out of him. Might get an early night because the baby had me up for half an hour at 3am this morning

Been trying to get that pesky hair out my chin for 24 hours and got it before as well that's a hairless chin for at least a week now, you get me gals x

You're not mr watermelon are you

I’m actually South African living in Lake District...so no. Def not.

So my day as follows, dropped kids at school, went straight into town. Thursday is shopping day for my parents and the other stay at homers that I help out. Normally I get it delivered to me and then I take it to them, but thought I’d mix it up a bit and go to different shops, what a bloody stupid idea. Had to make two trips back to the car. Then I decided to walk to the market which I don’t do very often, 5kgs of Maris Pipers and 12 Bramley apples later my arms were nearly falling off. Was great for the calorie burn though! Guy on the stall commented I must be making a mammoth apple pie with all those apples, they were enormous as well. I just let him believe that’s what I was doing. Dropped all the shopping off then headed home. Took some stuff to the charity shop and left the ‘tip’ pile for my husband ( I made him go after dinner tonight otherwise it will still be there in a month). I miss the skip. Just saying. Cooked spaghetti bolognaise, not my fave thing ever but the rest like it so wanted to cooked something we would all eat. Cleared up and then buffed my taps you couldn’t make that shit up! Now sitting eating some chocolate buttons that aren’t mine

I finished transcribing my first interview only took 5 hours

Had a nap but Rosie woke me up scratching at my door. Thanks Rosie! Probably did me a favour as I could have slept for the rest of the day.

Need to prep for my interview in the morning so I can relax tonight. Then usual shower, skincare.... you get the picture!

*notes down bikes and pasta bowls need to be part of the next recap*


Sorry that my recap was shit, I was taken by surprise and all flustered

 

[watermelon sugar]

Hello hello

TGIF am I right x

Had my patch test this morning and Naughty Nanna offered to babysit. So I was like right OK, better than taking the baby the salon and him kicking off. So I go and come back. She's all 'wanna come back to ours for the day?' Cos its mr watermelons birthday this weekend so she planned a takeaway for us all. Couldn't say no could I

CHRIST ALIVE!! Never heard a Middle aged woman talk about dick so much in my life. She was reading texts out to me, asking 'so what do you think?' 'Do you think hes into me?' 'Do you think hes messing me around?' Showing me pictures, 'swear he's better looking real life' is this real life? You're 60 odd and my fellas ma

So that been my day really. It got to about half 6 and Nanna was looking at the clock

Me & mr watermelon: do you want us to go?
Nanna: well I've got plans at 8

Plans =

Dirty cow!

Evening pals

I've no idea where my day has gone. I woke up at 5 and didn't get back to sleep properly and then we were up to get ready to leave the house just after half 8 to walk up the car dealership which is about an hours walk. We got there at quarter to 10 and didn't leave until quarter to 1 we test drove one car but there were problems with my bf's proof of address and loads of faffing to try and download some online banking statements which took sooooo long. After the test drive we went ahead with the purchase which is basically the salesman trying to pressure us into paying a £400 1 year warranty fee which we ended up taking, he really wasn't taking no for an answer. Anyway we're collecting the car on Wednesday evening

Then we nipped into a cafe for coffee and cake on the way home and he went off to meet a friend for a few drinks. I was absolutely pooped when I got home so quickly prepped a chilli to go in the slow cooker and I've been lay on the sofa since fell asleep with my hand in a bag of m&ms # classy

Just waiting for Mr jarv to get home then we'll eat and watch some TV but we'll probably end up having an early night as usual!

Hope everyone enjoys the rest of their day

 

[OutrageouslyScarlet]

@bolimepipi you poor things, I hope you are ok the mend soon. Rest and binge watch some good tv.

@AnderbeauJohnson
I really can relate a lot to what you type, and I think you need to be abit more selfish. Look after you and your mental health as other people can be so damaging and we are usually hard enough on ourselves. Make you your priority (I hope I won an award for today’s best cliches)
There’s some absolutely bloody gorgeous Pictures from your day guys.
I am shattered, massive first world problems over here. I cycled for my massage and pedicure, feet are as smooth as a babies bottom! The massage o could have easily fallen asleep in. Ibloody love a massage. Had a full body Swedish one. Sadly no hot swede doing said massage. I really should have just gone home after my massage and enjoyed the chill, but I could hear tk max calling My name .. bought 3 Liz Earle moisturisers because it’s the old ones they’ve stopped doing some shoes, a casual dress that will be quite useful, (I’ve shared a pic as now I’ve tried it on I’m not sure) A DKNY sweater and and Ralph Lauren kids top (being small is cheap )
Matalan was rubbish so just got some hair bits. Popped to Aldi which was a big mistake as I shopped liked someone that was in a car... loaded my bike up and wobbled to my grandmothers with some flowers I got her that someone how made it hike safe, that bike is a wonder bike! Made her dinner and I am done in! I think I’ll sleep tonight. Now to avoid tk max and it’s money stealing ways.

 

[LittleMy]

Well, had a better day today! Hope everyone is doing well after the last few down days. Halfway through the week now, almost there.

I got involved in an interesting group chat with some friends earlier then OH and I went out for lunch for the first time since easing of restrictions. It was delicious. My minions are home from school now. My eldest seems to have a wee girlfriend. They were holding hands at pickup and she was crying because he couldn’t go to her house after school (they’re only 5 ).

 

[watermelon sugar]

Hello hello. Didn't end up going the Asda because my eye is KILLING again. I'm fed up of it. Surely it's not cos I'm tired? Cos I've been getting a bit more sleep (don't wanna jinx that ) !? Been fobbed off by the doctors and the opticians now. Usually it's my left eye but it has been my right one today. It was hurting this morning but I took some paracetomal and it worn off but when we got in from our big walk it was killing so I went for a lie down while baby napped. I fell asleep for 10 minutes and felt goosed so couldn't be bothered going back out. Put my pjs on extra early and got all snuggly on the couch. Had a cup of tea and a cornetto. My fella is soooo weird when we have an original cornetto he picks off all the nutty pieces before he eats it freak we had chicken, halloumi & mushroom wraps. I love wraps! I used to be fajita fiend but im over them now. Think I've ate them too much i love halloumi, just love the squeak when you eat it my fella wanted to ring MIL so we facetimed her and she proper couldnt be arsed with us. She was all dolled up and was like 'my dogging partner will be here soon. Gotta go' cheeky cow barely rings us now. Her poor grandson! I know she does me head in but she could at least seem interested she's just interested in that dick now I'm currently traumatised cos the baby had a shit in the bath. I know that's too much info but he had a chocolate flapjack before he got in the bath and I thought it was a bit of flapjack floating round so I picked it up and then realised it was poo babies ey who'd have em' X

 

[WilmaHun]

Today is my Friday and I have 4 days off
Slept like a baby last night so I'm feeling great today
Ended up having McDonalds for dinner instead of chippy. My other half pulled his chips out the bag and dropped them all over the floor of his van. Was pissing myself laughing. Absolutely did not share mine. Had to go back through the Drivethru for him as he was tantruming like a toddler.
Hoping my day at work passes quickly, I've come into a quite a few emails so hoping that means work is picking back up again
Have a lovely day whatever you're up to! x

 

[watermelon sugar]

They've gone glad I've dodged the Nanna bullet today. I've just ate some southern fried chicken super noodles in bed like a scruff. Gonna go do a work out tidy up, have a pamper and relax the baby has started saying hiya too! He was bouncing round the house going hiya hiya hiya hiya this morning... mad head have a good day everyone x

 

[coconochanel]

Afternoon all, I've not posted on here for a while hope everyone is ok. So today I got up at about 7.30am, logged on here to see what was happening, then put away the dry washing, put the duvet cover in the wash, had a shower got ready, tidied kitchen, popped to Aldi to get some bread, but as always came out with a bag full came home unpacked the shopping then I went and had my eyebrows waxed first time in about 8 months came home now I'm just having a cuppa and a tattle before I make some lunch.

 

[nbt]

Wat’s aaaaaap

Hope everyone is doing okay.

@prinnygrace it sounds like you’ve done the right thing and it’s nice that it’s ended well. There’s no point in dragging out the inevitable if it’s not going to happen. You speak really nicely of him

@Meangirl815 i hope your daughter is feeling a little better now.

Today started with the family Zoom, then we got some jobs done that have needed doing a while such as the car cleaned, stuff taken to charity. Popped into town and OH did a Wilko shop while I went to New Look for a browse. Bought a couple of pairs of jeans which I was in desperate need of and they fit perfectly so I’m very happy.

The girl kicked off this morning... aah the joys of hormonal pre teens. She slept in til like 11.30 and then the first thing she did was argue with her dad morning sunshine!

I went up and she was okay with me but kinda gave me that look to say “you lot are fucking stupid and I hate you all” luckily I had my calm head on today so no argument came of it. She wasn’t too bad the rest of the day but it feels a bit like living with a volcano at the moment. And yes, that’s the first thing I thought to describe her as!

The rest of the day was spent cooking dinner, but of Switch time with the kids, tidying up, doing homework and now I’m having an early bath before getting my bent copper fix tonight

Also I’m mega proud of myself because it’s been my first weekend calorie counting and it was a success

 

[watermelon sugar]

Hi guys! We didn't end up going to Nanna's because she is going for her 2nd jab or something. She's probably getting some dick really my fella seems to think we will go tomorrow instead but I might pull a sickie we still walked to the other side of town to where the Aldi is and the big Tesco. My fella smashed his phone to pieces by accident at work the other week has been using a pure Nokia grafter phone like a drug dealer since so I bought him a new phone for his birthday. The watermelon did good we usually do our shop in the Asda so when we were in Aldi me head was cabbaged! I said to me fella 'me heads cabbaged' and he went 'Did you say that cos we're in front of the cabbages?' And we actually were what a coincidence. Anyway I had a meltdown and decided I wanted to do my shop in the Asda instead so we're home now, baby is going for a nap. And we're probs gonna go back out to Asda so we can do a food shop I'm a nightmare

 

[OutrageouslyScarlet]

Hope everyone had a beautiful Sunday! My face feels horrendous so that’s fun. I could genuinely scare children right now.
Made a blinding roast at my grandmothers and I’ve just picked loads of wild garlic from her garden so making wild garlic pesto in a min.
I was naughty and had a Thai take away and feel like crap for it so that will serve me right. Calories don’t count on Saturdays surely!?

 

[LittleMy]

Hi guys, so I haven’t updated in a couple of days. Mostly because I’ve been at work, and it’s so shit there atm that I run the risk of becoming one of those bores who just complains about work all the time and ain’t nobody got time for that. *sassy finger snaps*

Other than that, I haven’t been up to much. The children are back at nursery and school tomorrow, hooray for some routine again! I think the Easter holidays are just too long, we’ve had outbursts and tantrums a plenty in this household. They are ready to go back. My own mood has been terrible lately, feel very emotional and weepy (in private, I don’t do tears in front of people very often). No idea, probably hormones as ToM should be approaching soon (I say should, they’ve been erratic the last few months). Haven’t really made the most of the restrictions lifting yet, I’ll be honest my anxiety is through the roof lately and I think it’s been putting me off wanting to go anywhere. I have a constant sickly feeling in the pit of my stomach most days too.

So yeah, I’m going to eat some dinner and then get ready for another shift. I slept so well today but only because I was so bloody knackered from last night’s. OH made me a cup of tea and bacon roll this morning, bless, but I fell asleep and missed out. Gutted.

Hope you all have a peaceful Sunday.

Can’t believe I’m missing LoD tonight.



@nbt Happy anniversary

 

[WilmaHun]

Glad you’re feeling a bit better @bolimepipi whenever you post pics which show tiny bits of your home I always think you’ve got the best interior design skills. Everything always looks so lovely and we’ve only seen tiny bits in the background of pics

sorry to hear you had a bad day @watermelon sugar. We all care about you, even if we are just strangers on the internet! Whenever you post about your little boy it’s always so clear how much you love him. You come across as such a fab mum in all your posts

good luck with the move @aimzalicious.

@Meangirl815 so sorry to hear about your little girl! Hopefully she feels better soon

@Saddlesoap snap on the first episode of LOD. We watched it last night as there’s literally nothing on on a Saturday night at the minute! I was really disappointed but my bf says we should stick at it

@PepsiCherry sounds like you’ve got something good going with this man, I really hope it works out for you. Tattle wedding!

I feel like I need to go back to bed after trying to reply to everyone
Felt really miserable towards yesterday afternoon. I just feel so lonely. I only really come on here so it feels like I’m chatting to people. I hardly hear from my friends now the pubs are back open. I don’t drink alcohol so I guess they’re no longer interested in beach walks and picnics with me if they can go get pissed.

Hope you all have a lovely Sunday x

 

[bolimepipi]

hi guys, ngl i'm feeling like crap today! so many things at once, i just want to crawl into a hole and stay in there for weeks

let me start from the beginning. slept in a separate room again because bf still had a fever last night when he went to bed. we woke up both feeling better so the day started out nice. had a nice breakfast, tidied up the house, did my nails and i made an amazing lunch later.

after lunch bf said he feels a bit better so he'll work on the balcony garden building a bit. he always gets angry when things don't go the way he planned them to and there was an issue with a screw or nail or something and he got so pissed off and i absolutely hate that

he felt exhausted again after this, and in the meantime i started coughing like crazy. it all sounds like covid doesn't it, but i think i mentioned he already had a negative test last week and i got the first dose of the vaccine? but it looks like i'll have to call our doctor tomorrow. unfortunately she works in the afternoon on mondays so that means the earliest we can get the test is tuesday morning and the results tuesday evening hopefully. this sucks as he has to miss work again tomorrow (he's been ill a lot this year and i have a feeling his boss doesn't like this), and i have to miss my fitness class again which really, reeeeaaalllyyyy annoys me. and it also sucks for many reasons if we are positive, it was supposed to be a super busy work week for me with photoshoots that i took part in organizing and i would be really annoyed if i was not able to be there. i generally feel fine other than the persistent cough

currently in bed with kitty and he's playing on the laptop. don't think we'll get up to much this evening. we'll probably have leftovers from lunch for dinner, so to end this whiny post on a more cheerful note, here's a pic of my lunch spread from earlier today

 

[aimzalicious]

Omg Matty made it to the recap so proud of my boy. I want a cat colouring book too now you're all mentioning them - @Cocoflowers you've started a trend! Glad you're feeling better btw

@Cats_eyes to respond to your question on the last thread, I don't find therapy easy because I don't like talking about myself and I always get nervous before appointments. But it's getting easier every week! I actually look forward to it more and more because I know every session I have is me making some progress
@calmyourritas the speed in which you asked for the flavour of the pie really tickled me

I've had my first "normal" pre-Covid feeling day in ages and it feels great! Woke up after a sex dream about The Weeknd, damn shawty it was good After this week's work madness, I treated myself and lounged around in bed until 10 mins before I was meant to start work. When I eventually dragged myself out of bed I was surprisingly productive and got nearly everything done on my list Going to work my socks off tomorrow to complete everything as I don't have really have time to do extra work this weekend.

I watched Pointless and then did my Aldi shop after work before prepping some Jamie Oliver vegan burgers for after I got back from the gym. Yes I'm finally back at the gym!! I expected it to be Sergio Ramos in the there since they've only just opened, but by some miracle every bit of equipment I wanted to use was free. The gym gods were clearly smiling on me today, they want me to get dat ass back

When I got back I washed my hair and cut up sweet potatoes into wedges to have with my homemade burger. Tbh the burgers were a bit of a fail and when I opened the ketchup bottle, it proper spurted out and jizzed all over the wall, wtf? But I made a nice smoothie with protein yog as something sweet after - serious gourmet shit. I was going to finish my night by catching up on Repair Shop as I keep missing the episodes, but it's too late now

Night all! xx

 

[Meangirl815]

OMG!! OMG!!

The best thing ever happened today. I am in shock. Absolute shock.
My husband works in from work at 4.55 at 5pm his phone rang. The council offering us a new property. Totally out of the blue, we've never bid on this house. It's like fate. We can't get a look inside yet as the council are working on it but we took a walk around (it's minutes from where we are now) and guys it's beautiful I have fallen in love. It's my forever home.
Seperate dining room, upstairs bathroom. Both of which we don't have here. This house is lovely but it's small and in 10 yrs time I'm going to have a 15,16 and 17yr old inhabiting the place

And the garden is HUGE.

I'm so happy right now.
I want to show you a pic of the house but not sure if i can
