I am so fucking bored

BORED. Absolutely fuck all to do. Sick of watching shit on telly, reading, cooking. Sick of going for a fucking walk, I might go whole hog and turn left at the end of that road instead of turning right just for a change, that's the big news here today. The cat shit on the carpet this morning at least cleaning it up gave me something new to do. I want to go to a theme park, I want to go to London for the day, I want to go to the pub, take my Mum out for lunch, get smashed in a beer garden with my mates. Haven't seen the fuckers for months. Go on that luxury solo trip I treated myself to last year that never happened. Just me, my ipod, a massive glass of alcohol and a pool. Instead I'm stuck at home every bastard day driving myself mad with overthinking because there's nothing to distract me. Get me on a fucking plane away from this bullshit. Rant over!!

I got unnaturally excited when I discovered/was shown that the glass bit in my oven door is removable by pushing two little buttons at the bottom. I've had the thing for a good few years now.

I REALLY want to just go for a drive. A pointless drive. With loud music. Along the coast road where it's pretty and I can stop and watch the sunset.

Or get glammed up, pretend like I'm 18 again and go dancing in some hideous sticky floored nightclub with 1000 other people all jammed in together jumping up and down to trance and spilling brandless £1 vodka shots everywhere.

Well I've just helped DD dye her hair Poor girl is struggling and unlikely to be back in school any time soon Lord knows what it will look like but I'm well passed caring
Don’t blame you, my eldest DD went from natural blonde to brunette assisted by me and then I had to redo it as you could see blonde patches 😁

I got so bored I did a jigsaw recently - it was really good actually, it said 8 to 10 years but it only took me 3 weeks.

The type where you are really pissed but the music makes you feel good and you can just get lost in the atmosphere and switch your brain off and just feel? Yup. Sad
Hobnobswantshernameback · 17/01/2021 16:09

Just wanted
To do something a bit daft with her

Daisy829 · 17/01/2021 17:36

I’ve done nothing today. Yesterday I ended up being quite productive in the house but today I’ve showered, got dressed as was meant to meet my friend for a walk. Her DS has been told to isolate due to contact with a positive case so we cancelled to be cautious. I put my pjs back on & have just been lounging. I’m more exhausted doing nothing. Actually looking forward to balancing work & home schooling tomorrow to help get me out of this slump!

trappedsincesundaymorn · 17/01/2021 18:19

I think we've gone a bit stir crazy at Trapped manor, ....we've cooked up all the frozen left over Christmas party food, made a salad and pulled 2 left over Christmas crackers we found in a cupboard. We so need a holiday.

I was que'ing at the post office for ages with my eBay stuff until my friend said Hermes will come to your house and it's cheaper!!!

www.myhermes.co.uk/our-services/courier-service

It's a game changer!!

We're eBaying loads everything we lists seems to shift even the stuff we've struggled to sell before!!

Also eating and drinking loads our food Bill is huge!!!!!![/quote]
Thanks @Hope4theBestPlan4theWorst

Thing is going out to the post office helps to add a bit of variety to the day!

eBay is going mad - have got another three parcels to send tomorrow. I don't even mind the queueing - just need to wrap up bloody warm!

Emeraldeyes20 · 17/01/2021 18:46

I was only thinking about posting the same subject!! Husband has Covid and I missing my kids as they are staying with my ex husband. I feel like I am on that film Groundhog Day 😂

Ratonastick · 17/01/2021 19:11

I washed down my skirting boards the other day. I’ll repeat that, I washed the skirting boards. Who the fuck washes skirting boards? Turns out, I do.

I’ve never wanted to sit in a beer garden so much in my life.

borntohula · 17/01/2021 19:34

Yeah it's garbage.

Daisy829 · 17/01/2021 20:51

Oh dear things are bad when you start to wash skirting boards!

I miss dancing too. I love that feeling you describe above. One day soon hopefully

notanotherwalk · 17/01/2021 21:26

Yes yes I have absolutely loads I should could be doing but no motivation to do anything. Sit around on my phone all day then cook another bloody meal. I didn't even go for a walk today, quite the rebel.

AllTheWayFromLondonDAMN · 17/01/2021 21:27

I’ve started doing a “stitch along” embroidery project with a group of people on Facebook. Really enjoying it. It’s taking the edge off the boredom.

DH and I stood watching the tesco delivery guy unloading the crates this morning - we were avid, couldnt take our eyes of him and had a very engaging conversation trying to guess how many crates he would have.

Normally we just take the crate to the kitchen and unload them there but apparently we aren't now allowed to touch the crate so we have to take the food out at the door. At least that gave us something to talk about.
