What have you been during evenings and weekends during lockdown (those without kids)?

We've got 4 adults in the house for the duration of lockdown - me, my wife and our two daughters. Most nights I work through online learning courses and my wife and daughters play board games.

Online quiz (joined on skype by our daughter). Playing cards. Board games. Films. Zoom calls with friends. Drinking. And “early nights” 😉

Crafting, reading, lots of audio books to fill the silence, lots of actual early nights!

Just me here

Anything we want..in the house! Catching up on reading, telly, bit of baking (till we couldn't get any flour anymore), computer gaming, online quizzing, chatting, listening to music. Walking the dog. Wayyy more drinking than we usually do in the house but we've been trying to stick to nights we'd usually have gone to the pub anyway.

Watching tv, jigsaws, couple of zoom quiz nights a week, one with family one with friends. We've had some really nice meals as we've started planning menus in advance to avoid numerous supermarket trips (normally we wing it)

Nice meals..get meat delivered, netflix

Netflix and watching star trek next generation from the beginning and also the west wing. Nothing educational or enriching at all

Last night I was beaten at Cludeo. 3 times!!! 🤦🏻‍♀️

I'm single and in my own flat. I wish I had a balcony or a garden but it's just an expensive shoebox.

• running
• HIIT workouts (my poor downstairs neighbours but needs must)
• jigsaws
• lots of Netflix
• I'm getting very into skincare and I've now developed a ridiculous 'routine'.
• fake tanning

I keep thinking about gutting my cupboards or cleaning and giving it up to lie in my knickers waiting for my fake tan to dry

Married with two kids but as they're teenagers, we don't really see them in the evenings so sometimes feel childless!

We're watching Line of Duty from the beginning
Playing card games and yahtzee
Reading or on tablets
Drinking far too much...

Drinking far too much.

My ‘kids’ are 20 and 16 so don’t count

I have (in the past week) started journaling, listening to relaxing music and doing a 10 minute meditation in the evenings.
It sounds so corny, but it’s been SO good for my mental health!
I look forward to it all day.

Other than that, I walk the dogs with my husband.

During the day I do crafts and my art hobby, try to read, eat loads, all my hobbies are done from the couch, go on Facebook etc, in the evening I’ll watch an episode of something, go on here, drink. This is my usual anyway.
(Childfree)

We’re both still working so the evenings is a combination of tv, cooking, cleaning and going out for a walk. Much like normal really.

Only us two. We spend our evenings cooking nice meals, watching telly, catching up with on FaceTime and marvelling over some of the threads and responses on MN. We spent the other evening sorting out and rebooting a holiday that we've had cancelled. I made the mistake of posting about it. Never again.

Netflix, SM, reading, playing games, listening to music, just generally relaxing - waiting to go to bed late enough to feel tired and sleep soundly.

Eating, drinking, going out for a walk, TV or film, reading, phoning family/friends, board games or cards ... going to bed early (alone) to get away from each other .

@PurpleDaisies Very similar here. Part of my wishes I had more time to do my own thing, an equal part is immensely grateful that I am lucky enough to still be able to work.

My DP works from home anyway, self employed, so is often still going until 8pm havig had a couple of hours pottering in the daytime.

I have to work an additional 90 minutes a day as "we are not commuting". So that's usually 9 until 7. My junior colleagues have been furloughed, so I have to so their work on top of my own, which means early morning starts.

I stopped at 7 today, cleaned the kitchen, cooked for tonight and tomorrow, drank gin and read mumsnet while the chicken cooked, watched a Star Trek (DS9 binge) and am about to go to bed.

I’m actually watching ds9 right now 8Track!

Just me and my DS18 and he is taking self
Isolation to a new level rarely leaving his room 🙁. I have done lots of sorting out and rearranging stuff, painting, reading, to much Netflix's and drinking have found lots of good online quizzes which I'm getting quite good at. We have a family at 4 zoom game or challenge a couple Of times a week. I am running
Out of stuff to keep me occupied though.

Jigsaw puzzles
Watch Netflix etc
Drink slightly too much wine

Catching up with friends on Zoom, including ones I haven't spoken to for ages

Making nice healthy dinners from scratch

Learning how to paint with watercolours using free online tutorials

Clear outs / decluttering and posting stuff on eBay

DIY projects like building a compost heap with some spare wood that's in the garage

Gardening

Reading & book group (was monthly face to face and is now fortnightly on Zoom)

Annoying our four cats

Watching series on Netflix (currently Ozark)

Sunday nights are movies from the 80s/90s nights, DH and I take it in turns to pick

Litter picking as our daily exercise (bought a litter picker on Amazon for £9), while we walk we also clean up the streets and take it home in a bin liner and put in our bin. It's very satisfying.

Life admin that gets put off like reviewing finances, cancelling subscriptions that we don't use, filing paperwork, etc.

Naps.

Oh we have also introduced a couple of little routines.

Morning meditation together using the Insight Timer app

Gratitude session at the end of the day (we both say 3 things we're grateful for).

I live alone.
Reading, TV, walking ( In Ireland so different rules) at least 25k steps. Cooking. Music. Feel fulfilled not missing anyone. Don't zoom or facetime. Just chat on phone probably every second evening for an hour.

Been playing Zelda breath of the wild and animal crossing on the nintendo switch.

And watching korean drama on netflix.
Oddly enough, I normally hate romcoms. But cant fer enough kdrama ones :)
