Daughters (in their 20’s) and I will go to York or Leeds for a shopping trip, possibly overnight stay.

We will go for a lovely meal out

We will get a Big Mac Meal

We’ll go for a spa day

I will drive the 80m to visit my parents. I feel bad because they are in their 80’s, mum is disabled now and they are lonely. Can’t wait to visit them.

The above are not necessarily in any order 😁

Go out and celebrate our birthdays belatedly. Our holiday is on hold so rebook new dates and go away!

User18492725204065241 · 10/04/2020 17:34

I'm looking forward to being able to go out and sit somewhere lovely in nature with a book. I'm desperate for some alone time with no one demanding things from me. I wish those of us without outside space were allowed an hour just to sit in the sunshine.

BillyAndTheSillies · 10/04/2020 17:37

Go shoe shopping for DS.
Have my nails done and have a wax.
Sit in my parents garden and watch them cuddle and play with our DS's.
Welcome my cleaners back with open arms.

Cheesypea · 10/04/2020 17:39

Make an effort to get out there and meet somewone.

mbosnz · 10/04/2020 17:45

Go for a fabulous meal out.
Get the girls takeout until they beg for homecooked food - usually takes about a week.
Have a bbq with the neighbours without a fence in between.
Have a party with all our UK mates, with far too much wine and much good food.
Go for a good fossick round St John of the Lewis.
Drive to the New Lynn Farmshop and buy ridiculously priced but such good food.

Hopefully, ultimately, get home to give my Mum a hug, to smell our air, hear our birds, and eat our food with family. Sadly, I don't think that will be happening this year as planned, so that's medium term. . .

HerRoyalCarbyLess · 10/04/2020 17:46

Go and see my mum, taking my kids to play on the park on the way.
Thats all I want to do. I'll be happy with that.

user1497787065 · 10/04/2020 17:48

Feel quite disappointed but purely from a selfish point of view. I have loved staying at home, pottering around the house, a weekly shop, one walk per day with the dog. Not having to make an excuse not to go out. Obviously I will feel pleased that the lockdown will have been lifted and the risk has lessened.

I think a lot of people will question how they live their lives after this.

Amboseli · 10/04/2020 17:50

Give my DH the biggest and longest hug ever in the history of hugs.

I'm maintaing social distance from him even at home as he's very high risk and I'm still having to go out to supermarket and am terrified I could be an asymptomatic carrier and if he got it from me he would almost certainly not survive.

Amboseli · 10/04/2020 17:53

@user1497787065, me too! I'm enjoying being at home with the DCs. Usually we're all so busy rushing from place to place, DD is always out with friends. It's nice to all be home together all the time and we're all coexisting very happily.

Am keeping in touch with friends with Zoom very regularly and love being able to socialise without leaving the house!

ohdearmymistake · 10/04/2020 17:56

Meet up with family
Get back to the gym
Shop at all the small independent shops that make it through.

GratitudeGoddess · 10/04/2020 18:10

Have sex with my lover all day and all night.

Hug every member of my family, friends, colleagues and my local shop workers. I will also offer hugs to my GP and the reception staff and every member of staff at my child's nursery.

Mrsmadevans · 10/04/2020 18:14

Go to London for a break, see Hello Dolly in the West end, walk around the parks, see the sights . Visit York go to the seaside , more hoidays , more eating out , in other words spending our hard earned money enjoying ourselves Grin

meow1989 · 10/04/2020 18:21

Dh, ds, dsis dbil and I are going to go to my parents and we are going to have a big bbq like we normally do in the nice weather.

We will eat, drink and play games (board games and silly made up garden games). Dbil will chase around after ds once Dm has stopped kissing him (ds that is!). DF will be typically Victor Meldrew but really be loving it. The boys will probably go to the pub for a bit and me dsis and DM will drink tea, play with ds and chat nonsense.

It will take about an hour for the first squabble to break out.

Then when ds goes to bed, we will sit outside in the garden and talk about how bizarre the past x number of weeks are and how nice it is to be together again.

It's going to be glorious.

Magicshoppingtrolley · 10/04/2020 18:25

I'm gonna go to my partner's house and give him the biggest squeeze ever. Probably go to McDonald's on the way Wink

ladykuga · 10/04/2020 18:27

Sell the house so I'm no longer financially tied to my drug addict EXP. Highly unlikely I know but it's the only hope I cling to in these surreal times.

Bring my kids to see their grandparents, go out to dinner with my husband, go for a huge walk alone in my favourite park . Browse the shops. Head to the coast for a few days with the kids.

Keep shopping at the farm shop who have delivered us food so no-one has to leave the housr.

Hug my parents.

Walk the dog around our local common and let him spend endless time in the river with the other dogs.

Dh and I just got drunk and planned a holiday to please both DC and delight us. Won't tell them till we can actually safely book it.
