If it helps, I’ve been trying to learn to play my ukulele, I’m still rubbish. I’ve been doing Les Mills fitness sessions from YouTube, not as good as going to my real gym but again it’s better than nothing and this weekend DH and I are going fossil hunting. Just another walk but it sounds more exciting if there’s a chance of finding a fossil.

As for exercise and walking, I walk our dog every day and I am so BORED with doing that. BORED with my rowing machine.

@CatFaceCats

If you’ve got a laptop or a computer, try gaming? I can actually waste an entire day (while kids are at school!) playing World of Warcraft and the like
Gaming. Hmm. I do sudokus to take my mind off things, I guess I could get the DC to teach me an online game Grin

The world's going through enough at the moment, I don't think it needs me trying to play the ukulele as well Grin

Bored with no going anywhere new, even if it was just for training. Bored of just my home office, laptop and work phone with yet another teams call. Bored of my 45 min circular lunchtime walk. Thankfully this'll be over soon. I was so thrilled by the first vaccine news I beamed all the way round my (boring circular lunchtime) walk.

Lurkingforawhile · 25/11/2020 18:41

@dryroastpeanut oooh - fossil hunting sounds exciting. I'm a bit geeky and have walking in dinosaur footprints on my bucket list.

Smallsteps88 · 25/11/2020 18:43

Bored here too. I’ve started going to bed at 7pm. And yet I’m still tired in the mornings Hmm

Mybedislisting · 25/11/2020 18:46

Download the sims - honestly time has no meaning when you play that game

I went to Lidl in another town today for a bit of excitement- just in case they had different things from in the closer Lidl. They didn’t. Almost cried with boredom on the way home.

I’m working from home while also looking after my toddler every day. We just go to the park and look at tractors. I swear to god I know the ducks by name we’ve fed them so many times.

I've done this too, with Tesco. There was a bit of excitement as it had an underground car park and a travelator. Apart from that - boring Sad

GettingUntrapped · 25/11/2020 19:06

I feel a horrible combination of boredom and stuckness.
Time to up the exercise I think.

OMG @LagneyandCasey was the West Drayton Tesco? That IS glamour. I dream of such excitement.

Get Sims 3 (NOT 4) and vicariously live through them, or Animal Crossing and enjoy the outside Wink

I've lost half of both lockdowns to a game called House Flipper where you, unsurprisingly, flip houses. Its an ace time waster.

jerrywesterby · 25/11/2020 20:03

I'm just going whisper this as I'm a grown woman and it's embarrassing.... but download super stylist..... kept me going for weeks Blush

Orangeblossom7777 · 25/11/2020 20:09

I am so lethargic with it and fed up with feeling like this, no motivation

Think it will be better next week as can go for a swim perhaps.

slavetothenhs · 25/11/2020 20:09

I am bored as fuck. I haven't been out clubbing in about 20 years, normally it's not something I'd even consider. But I can't stop thinking about how much I could totally and utterly smash a night out clubbing right now - music, dancing, drinking... I think I could go for a straight week.

Mybedislisting · 25/11/2020 20:12

@slavetothenhs ooh me too!!

Let’s try and find an illegal rave Grin

StrictlyAFemaleFemale · 25/11/2020 20:13

Try listening to my dad wrote a porno.

slavetothenhs · 25/11/2020 20:14

I'd love to!! But the part of the country that I live in is BORING and I'd be surprised if there was an illegal rave within 100 miles

MarshaBradyo · 25/11/2020 20:16

Do you work? Would you like to?

Dontforgetyourbrolly · 25/11/2020 20:18

Bored of life too . Wfh but my usually very busy job is now very quiet due to covid .
As xmas is coming up I've got my calendar out and arranged activities for each weekend that doesnt involve going to a bloody supermarket.
I've connected with friends and we've pencilled in dates . Stuff we are ( hopefully) allowed to do ....go to a farmers market, taking ds ice skating , panto in london ...beach walk and coffee etc etc
Of course it might all go out the window but in the meantime something to look forward to and its cheered me up
I cant look at the bloody walls I did so much decorating during the first lockdown I've left the hallway half done. Sick of it !

Redcherries · 25/11/2020 20:18

Shielded here, so so fucking bored, 5 months of not leaving the house, a couple of months of long walks, pub lunches and a bit of cold camping was fucking brilliant. But it’s made this time so much worse.

I clean, exercise, do productive things. So so so bored.

nancybotwinbloom · 25/11/2020 20:38

I'm bored of wine.
Bored of everything.
Mn is entertaining me nightly.

I am craving a good parking or CF thread
