How do spend your time when alone?

[Misty9]

I've just separated from H and we are sharing care of the kids 50/50, so I have quite a lot of time spent on my own and I'm not used to it. I tend to grind to a halt and do nothing despite best intentions.

So how do others spend their time when alone? I love things like going to the coast but I just feel sad doing these things alone - but frustrated by kids demands if they're there! it's one extreme or the other it seems.

And how do you motivate yourself to do stuff if you're on your own? The long bank holiday weekend is looming, again

@BobbyBrewstersMagicTorch thank you for thinking of me, that's very kind. I didn't go to the beach today, but that's because I ended up going out last night for drinks with a friend at the last minute and I woke up too late for the beach this morning but I've had a nice day of hedge cutting and seeing friends so that's good. Walk tomorrow - probably in the rain! I'm finding as long as I keep going I'm okay...

Glad you've been having a good time. I'm sure things will start to become better slowly. x
