So.. what are you going to do when this is all over?

[GreenTeaMug]

I am going to try and either go to a 4 day week or wfh one day.

And I am going on holiday to Iceland. I have wanted to for years and years.

Go on my long awaited month away to my favourite place, away from everyone and everything.

Hug my DH.
He’s shielding. We can’t be in 2m of him.

Go out for a meal with DP and with different groups of friends

Go to the seaside and breathe in ozone!

Book a long weekend away (if we can afford it)

My mum died suddenly just before lockdown so her ashes are just sitting at the crematorium as we weren't able to arrange her plot so she has no resting place which is making me sad and uneasy. Feel like we've just left her there (I know it's not rational)

I also want to take my children to the beach and to the park I want to go to mine and DHs favourite restaurant and see my friends. I want a massage and a haircut.

I want to take my dad on our planned big family holiday that has been cancelled/postponed - it's UK so hopefully doing our bit to inject some money into our tourism industry. I plan to eat out a lot there!

DH is going to ask to do his role over 4 days instead of 5 and if that doesn't work out then he's going to consult for a while as he thinks there will be a big demand for his industry after this.

Im self employed and I'm fairly certain my current project will vanish so I'll need to find a new role which I'm hoping will be a positive thing.

I'll also need to lose some weight as between my mum and lockdown I've gained 6 pounds!

Cuddle my nephews.
Take my DSs somewhere lovely.
Become a campaigner for the NHS and domestic violence charities.
Go to lots of museums and exhibitions to grow my brain.
Not forget.
I am a bit grim sorry!!!!

Go and see my mum
Then the rest of my family
See my friends
Go hill walking
Eat out
Go on day trips to anywhere but here
Go back to the office to see my lovely colleagues and the people I work with in the community
Go away somewhere for a holiday
Probably start wfh one day a week regularly- I always could have, but wasn’t a fan, now I’ve learnt that I can actually focus at home

Oh and get a haircut!

Go to see family.
Have some drinks with my Nan in garden and sing and dance.
Arrange to meet my kids friends.

Go somewhere nice for a few days in the UK with DH.
Go for a proper walk, and a drive out somewhere.

Give great nephew his 2nd birthday presents, his birthday was late March. Spend time with him, my niece and sister.

Go out for a meal with DH.

I work for the NHS and would like to go back to work in the clinic I normally work in, but I’m scared this won’t happen.

Visit my mum.
Take ds to the barbers.
Look for a job.
Go swimming.

See my DF and give him a massive hug.
Get my hair, eyebrows and nails done then go for a sunbed.
Sort out holidays for me DH & DS, we’ve had two cancelled due to Corona so need to rebook.

Invite my dad for a roast dinner. He lives on his own and usually comes for a sunday roast every week and a good chat with tea and cake.
Hug my mum. Usually see her 3x per week.
Hair cuts for me and son.
New shoe fitting for my son.

Go to The Ritz for Sunday lunch
Go to the beach for fish and Chios and champagne
Go and have a cup of tea with my dad
Have a party
Never, ever, ever, vote Tory.

We were planning a family holiday in Italy in June. Those plans have been put on hold.
When things get back to normal, we will definitely go.
I am going to have Bellinis in San Marco Square. Aperol Spritz in Piazza Navona and Negronis in Capri.
Oh and the food. Too much to list.

Try and work out how we'll ever financially recover from this and face the reality of paying tens of thousands of unpaid rent

Coffee!
I miss you local coffee shop so much.

So, so much, but what I’ll probably do first is get my hair done, waxing, nails and a hot stone treatment. I feel and look like a troll, at home with a five year old and seven month old.

Have a massive party at my parents for my brother’s, mum’s, dad’s and grandma’s birthday that have all been during lockdown.

Hug my sister for about a week - she’s a ward sister in the Midlands and I’m sick with worry for her.

Take Dd to the park!

Eat in my favourite local restaurant and sit in a beer garden all day and actually touch other people apart from Dd!

Yes I should probably get my hair cut before I attempt any social interaction.
I am looking grey, lank and frizzy in the hair and pink fat and wobbly in the face

@DisgraceToTheYChromosome you must be somewhere in my neck of the woods - kebab parmo

I want to get my hair cut and coloured.
Finally get moved into our new house and have a house warming.
Go for a meal and few drinks with our closest friends.

I'm going to have my adult daughters and their partners down for the biggest bbq ever! We all made a plan the other day for what we wanted on the menu.

I have always wondered why in movies if people are held captive for any reason why on earth they would torture themselves with talking about what they would do when they get out. But i get it. We all so enjoyed talking about that day when we could all get together.

I know what a pp means when they said it feels like a fantasy right now but it was good to fantasise, almost like it could be real if we talked about it.

I will also go sit with my mum who was taken from hospital to a nursing home 2 weeks ago. She sometimes manages a phone call but she can't understand why we aren't visiting her. I want to just sit beside her and hold her hand and just be present with her.

I also bizarrely want to go to the shops WITH someone else. My 8 year old son said he can't wait to go to the supermarket all together and just browse and choose stuff. I forget the kids haven't been out to a shop in over a month.

Have a memorial service, celebrate a big birthday, see my family and hire a skip.

I'm going to party like its 1999 and half live at the gym.

Before the lockdown we were planning a long overdue refurb of our lounge - new carpets, sofas, etc.

We won't have the money to do it for a while now, but don't care.

It means we can have a big party with lots of friends over and it doesn't matter if the red wine spills!
