Enjoy your day MWC. Mr T and I have a weekend without any kids and also plan a quiet time.
Those eight days (I think that was it) are going quickly - I'm sure Mr MWC is also counting them down

Take care of yourself, it sounds like you need some downtime after the week you have had.
It's a lovely day here, hope you get some time in the garden0 -

The weather's sort of changeable, but pampering at home can still make the most of it. You take care! I was feeling a bit rough last night - too tired - but I decided to go out in the garden, and once I was there I felt like pootling around a bit, and I ended up weeding around the young rhubarb plant and mulching with lovely bark chippings, it was great2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -

He's gone adventuring today to Joshua Tree National Park - lucky so-and-so :cool:
I went as far as the bottom of the garden :rotfl:
Today I have:
- Relaxed :T
- Read a whole book
- Pottered in the garden
- Mucked The Girls out
- Done some laundry
- Eaten relatively healthily and used up stuff that has been in the larder/fridge/freezer for a while...
- Made carrot, red pepper & red lentil soup for lunch, and
- WW smoked haddock florentine (just smoked haddock on a bed of wilted spinach topped with a poached egg - no cheese sauce) for dinner with a few roasted new potatoes and had enough points left for a couple of glasses of prosecco
- Only thought about work for 5 minutes!Mortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000

One thing I forgot to do yesterday was have an early night and I'm regretting it now
The Girls had a very noisy panic attack at 05:12 and, even though I'm tired, I can't get back to sleep nowMortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000

I did wonder why you were up so early. Sorry work has been stressful. I have a job which eats into my home life a lot more than I would like but it's not that easy to just switch off sometimes is it.
It does sounds like you had a relaxing day yesterday taking time out for yourself. What did you read? I am looking forward to that daytime luxury when the children are bigger!June 2025 - part 1 - £19,145 part 2 - £21,973 Total - £41,118 29 months to go!0 -
Hope the fact you are offline now means you are getting some more sleep. Did you know what happened to cause the girls to panic?0

Hey MWC, I agree with katep23, hope you've snuggled back under the duvet, or at the very most, are pottering about making yourself a nice cup of tea and starting v.2.0 of the morning!
Hope you can have yourself another enjoyable day of doing nice things and taking care of yourself
Take care hun!
