Free time!!! Alone!!!!!!

This is possibly the most exciting thing that has happened to me all year. I had annual leave booked for 2 weeks over the Christmas holidays with DH and DC, but at work they just announced that everyone can have that time off for free, without having to use annual leave. I cannot carry over or encash my leave days, so I will have to take them instead from next week, meaning I now have 3.5 weeks off! The first 7 working days being totally alone, no DH, no DC!! Bliss!!

The last time I had a day to myself, with no jobs or anything to do, must have been when I started maternity leave before DC2. There are no jobs that need doing in the house, as everything was fixed and tidied for putting the house on the market last week and it's already in show home condition for viewings. I'm also in tier 3 so can't do anything fun and will mostly be at home. How would you spend this lovely free time?

Wowee that is amazing.
I don't know what's better the free holidays or the time alone Grin

Takeaway for Lunch?
Go for a walk somewhere you have wanted to explore but rest of fam whined about
Boring but do your Xmas wrapping one day but in the lounge all spread out rather than balanced on the spare bed
Long bath or shower doing face masks etc
Watch a box set (the undoing or I hate Suzie?)

Wow amazing - enjoy!

I work in school so I'm just working g hoping we do t get told to isolate anytime the last week so I miss Christmas!

Now get pampering yourself jobs can wait for a couple of days, treats if possible and watch whatever you on tv.

Oh god, I'm so jealous. I had two hours alone in the house today and it was pure, unadulterated bliss. I think I'd lose the run of myself entirely with seven days. Enjoy them.

This would be my dream. Sleep and read, and watch tv that's what I would do. It would just be bliss to have no one talking at me or needing fed constantly. Enjoy this time op. Sounds bliss

Yes, that's what I'm looking forward to, just being left alone for a while with nobody whinging at me for something constantly! And will definitely read a book, I haven't read a book since DD was born 4 years ago. Bath and face mask sounds great too. And takeaway lunch with noone there to eat half of it Grin
