What would you do with 5 days to yourself?

[Misty9]

I've got 5 days to myself in mid August and all my friends are occupied or away...so what would you do with this time? I'm in a rented house I don't particularly like (split with ex at Easter and moved out) and could do with sorting it out a bit to make it more homely. But I'm also prone to vegetating and not in a good way... so I need ideas! I live in a beautiful part of the country but this also means holiday cottage etc prices are highest right now. I looked at a spa hotel but I do prefer doing things with people. So as you can tell I'm going round in circles with this and thought I'd consult the hive mind

Do you have a car / is there good public transport?
What sort of things do you like doing?
What is within travel distance for days out?

National Trust / English Heritage house with nice gardens?
Day trip to the coast?
Shopping centre with home décor shops to inspire you?

Two days sorting out the house?

I'd book a youth hostel some where and do some walking and clear my head.

Snowdon etc

So I felt I'd had some air and achieved some thing

If you have a bit of money you could go on some sort of fitness/yoga/mindfulness type retreat.

Can you get out for a walk locally/nearby every day, nice pub lunch, visit book shops etc and vow to spend a couple of hours each evening doing some meaningful tidying, say one room a day?

These all sound terribly lovely, and the sorts of things I would love to do. In reality I'd be much more likely to lock myself in the house with several microwaveable pizzas, a fuckton of crisps and 2kg of dairy milk. I'd have my sleeping patterns reversed within 48 hours and probably end up sneaking out for twenty fags, just because I could.

Luxury spa hotel in the Lake District, days spent fell walking evenings in a hot tub with gin (or 10)

@pancaketits loving your honesty! I'm probably most likely to stay in, sitting on the sofa as that's the lightest room in the house (north facing), not eating, watching shit or mindlessly mnetting and crying at my car crash of a life

But I'm liking the suggestions. I may have access to the car, and I'm about 45mins from the coast. What do I like doing? Bloody good question and one in determined to find the answer too now I've got some freedom! I like walking and nature, I like music and socialising, I like reading and sitting in coffee shops drinking hot chocolate, I like a really comfy sofa and a beautiful view. I love the sea (looking at it).
