what are you doing today?

[TanglinOrchards]

Two DCs. One DH and I am bored bored bored.

Dcs just want to play Mario Kart all day.

Given the limits of Tier whatever we are in now. (4).

what to do? Ideas welcome.

Dunno. I am only up as my dog is freaking out still from bloody fireworks. I might take my decs down (usually leave them up for Jan 1st.) I am fed up with the forced joviality. I have spent two weeks pretty much doing the same; dog walk, sit on phone, watch TV, read, drink, eat and another dog walk. I am looking forward to going back to work, all be it on bloody Zoom. Fuck my life I am soooooo bored and soooooo fed up.

Urgh I feel the same. We went into 4 and it somehow feels so much worse this time round.

This is the first time since covid started that I have felt my mental health plummet.

Kids just want to spend all day online on games (I don't blame them, what else can they do) and there's only so many bloody walks you can go on. And the fight to get the kids to come is just a whole other stress to add to the situation.

Lie in, unhealthy breakfast, a frosty walk with a camera to take wintery photos, a NYD dunk in the sea, tv, wine, leftovers dinner on the sofa.

Walk down the Beach and Sunday Roast. Continue packing up the house for moving

Taking the decs down, going for a walk, eat the last of the treat food, watch yet another film!!! Oh and cook the bloody whole salmon DH bought when there was a hope of actually seeing people!!!!

I do intend to actually get dressed at some point today ...... 😂

We’re tier 4. So we will be doing the same things we do every day. I’m rotating re-organising areas of the house but I also did that in the last lockdown in November so it’s hardly a big job. DD will play with toys. After lunch we will go to a park. We take a flask of tea to make it feel interesting. Then after lunch we watch a movie. Dinner tonight is two curries with all the trimmings so at least making that will give me something to look forward to (). I’m so sick of trying to fill days rather than enjoying them 😭

Tidy up, snowy walk and sledging! I have 5 days off and looking forward to enjoying time before going back into the routine.

Slow morning, more coffee, bacon sandwiches.
Get dressed, drag DC out for a freezing cold walk and an hour away from Roblox .
I have most of a bottle of champagne left that definitely needs drinking before it goes flat and most likely a takeaway later.
DH was going to cook lamb but the supermarket was heaving yesterday so we didn't bother since we'd already got our NYE nibbles.
I seem to be taking down decorations as I walk past them, was going to wait until Monday but might just leave the tree and cleaning up until then.
Happy New Year!

We've been in Tier 4 for almost a fortnight now so we'll go for a walk, cook, eat, slob out on the sofa. I might take the decs down.

Sleep, watch movies, eat and drink 🍷

Partners at work so I made him breakfast before he left.

I’ve had an indoor cycle already, my son is playing with some lego, I use the word play very loosely.

We are going to the park at 9 so he can play and he is going to practice his ‘mad skills’ on his skateboard.

After lunch we’re making and painting some bird boxes.

I finished a crochet blanket for my cousins baby so this afternoon a courier is collecting it so it will arrive before the baby does.

That sounds like a nice day Simon.

Many nice days on here. :)

I might google to see if our McDonalds is doing drive through. That;s about the onloy thing i can imagine will get the DCs off Mario Kart.

A lie in, a bit of tidying, then a massive lunch, I can't wait
Making some bird boxes and painting them sounds great. @SimonJT, I'm slightly jealous

Oh! We have to do thank you cards for christmas presents. I might get the paints out and inflict my handywork on all my loved ones (and godparents).

Still in bed. DH has gone to make me a cuppa. Might take decorations down later. Is there anything good on TV today?

Not much planned here. I am going to keep the decorations up for a while longer. We will have roast dinner. Can't do much really.

Kids are currently in my bed watching a film. We'll have a late breakfast, they can play with some toys and I'm going to take the tree down. Got a lot of tidying and cleaning to do, probably go for a walk, watch another film, tea and bed for them.
I'm going to start exercising again so going to do a workout this evening.

Cancelled sport outing as have a cold/symptoms but from what have read on here will be going out later to get a drive thru test ☹️

Sleeping. Just got home from work and will be back there in 11hrs.

Taking down the tree and packing all the decorations away, a bit of a clean, walking our dog, cleaning out the hens, laying a fire, making a nice dinner later 😊

Haven't really planned much but I imagine a mix of house work, watching movies, some art and baking and probably a frosty walk.
I'm currently the only person awake in my house and am just enjoying the peace and quiet and the beautiful views of the frost outside.

Apparently I m going into work. Our remote access has gone down and I need to be able to use SIMS to sort out vulnerable/keyworker staffing. Head offered to do it but he is on his knees, 2 SLT are bloody isolating. I'm the only one with kids old enough to fend for themselves and not hung over

tv and coffee while everyone is in bed.
The only thing we’ve planned is a walk and calls to family otherwise a lazy day of books, tv and gaming.

Working , DH will be largely snoozing on the sofa and the kids will do whatever they want , whilst finishing the Christmas nibbles, just as my car pulls up outside the house at the end of my shift, they will all suddenly find the energy to congregate in the kitchen and have an argument.
