I am so fucking bored

[WhateverTheySay]

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!!

The children and I watched a large teddy go round and round in the washing machine

Have even resorted to Flightradar24 for entertainment but it is boring because there are no planes coming to the UK ...cannot believe I even thought it would be interesting!!

Christ, me too @WhateverTheySay

I've spent the weekend learning to make fucking origami birds.
For no reason. I've made six now.

Amazon Prime is just making it worse. Browsing for new things to watch tonight and it suggested this utter shitshow of a monstrosity...

Just NO.

@Glenorma

I’m even more fucking bored. I’d love to read and watch telly! Instead I have to entertain a two year old, play trains and colour in and learn the alphabet. So boring, I live for bedtime when I can watch the telly.

This is me ^^

Love this thread it's inspired me to wash down my walls today along with skirtings. I'm so glad it's given me permission to be bored!

I can relate to this! Day after day wake up wash, clean,wfh, cook x 3 , help with homework, wash up, clean stretching on for the next few months. Beyond dull!

I feel like I have nothing interesting to say anymore.

I face-timed my friend the other day and actually had to think about conversation topics I could bring up before the call so I had something to say.

It was hard work, nothing interesting has happened to me for months.

What the hell am I supposed to talk about?!

I'm on the hunt for free knitting needles and wool. I want to learn to knit via you tube. Need a creative outlet and to keep off the phone! Partner asked if I'm learning to be an old lady.
Also cleaning the oven and racks with a kit today. 😧😧

@Chimeraforce I can send you some needles and wool if you like. I'll message you later today - I'm doing the housework before DH beats me to it

What a kind thing to do. Was going to suggest arm knitting, you can make a snood in less than an hour and you wouldn't need needles, just thick wool.

Baking with kids. God. As if we did not already have enough cooking, clearing up and cleaning to do, what with prepping three meals a day and washing up and cleaning the dining area and kitchen three times a day afterwards AND clearing up all the other mess that kids make when you are stuck in the house all day.

The last time I tried baking with kids..... when I collapsed into bed at the end of the day after finishing dealing with the mounds of laundry that had to be done in the evening because there had been no chance to get them done during the daytime hours due to all the non stop cleaning and cooking, I basically looked back on the day and realized that I had basically done housework in some form continuously throughout the entire day, from the moment I had got up until the time I went to bed.

I do not want to fucking bake with kids. I want to go to the pool and have a jazuki and go out for dinner.

Oh it’s great isn’t it? My dishwasher broke over the weekend. Yep..

I’ve got plenty of housework I could do but I can’t be bothered anyone else feeling that way?

Totally agree it's just crap

My friend just sent me this, very appropriate

Me and my DD are the same

"Hi mum how are you?"
"I'm fine, you?"
"I'm good thanks, what have you been up to this week then?"
"Oh y'know, work, supermarket, not much else, You?"
" Nothing really, went for a walk, tidied up a bit, wrote a shopping list for (DP)"
"What's on the list..."

Yep it's that bad we are actually asking each other what is on our shopping lists. Our hour and a half phone conversations now last 10 minutes.

Those mentioning knitting - in my desperation to find things to do I saw John Lewis/Waitrose were doing free craft zooms and have a how to knit a snood one coming up

I'm so bored. It feel like everything I used to enjoy and which I can still do, has lost all its flavour and pleasure. Walking makes me cry, because I've walked round this town every day for almost a year and I look at the homes and realise the enormity of it. Reading? Well I can get through a couple of pages then boredom kicks in. Tv is shit but frankly that isn't the fault of covid.
I'm bored with my games. I'm bored with cleaning and cooking - and I live alone. I'm bored with my own fucking self.

And I am well aware that I am one of the absolutely lucky ones. No real worries touch wood. But my god this fucking roundabout ... I want it to stop.

I am now so bored that when I make a cup of tea or some toast I make as much mess as possible just so I have something to do when I clean it up.

I cut my husband's hair yesterday. Apparently his work colleagues said that the top and back was good but the sides look like a ball bag.

Must get back onto YouTube.

I’m so bored of local walks I’ve decided to litter pick with the kids to spice things up. Not that I want to tidy my own house of course, just pavements.

Fab post. I think I may die of boredom. One thing that really cheered me up momentarily was hearing Madonna’s Holiday on the radio in the car. I blasted it high, put down the roof and looked like a total dick probably. I’m an adventurer and a big traveller and it was nice to hear. Feel so affiliated at the mo. The other thing I like is how my iPhone 11 arranges my pics in different themes every day. Good to reflect on the different places I’ve been to and how much my beautiful DS has changed.

I'm actually sitting watching my cat snore, as it's better than the TV.

DD(9) said today that she would rather watch our cat take a dump than do one of the assignments she was given by school today - disclaimer - I've had zero issues with home schooling provision so far, and have every sympathy with teachers. But they were shat on from a great height by our government and can imagine how much they must be scrabbling around to find appropriate learning activities.

We are having pasta for dinner for the third fucking night in a row. I'm an ex chef and highly trained, but my imagination is shot.

I'm thinking about maybe doing a face mask, but holding off for now so I have something to look forward to after DD goes to bed.

I saw a bit of This Morning where the chef was cooking on Cottesloe Beach in Western Australia. I spent a lot of time there in my 30's. It made me want to cry for lots of reasons.

Groundhog day. And then some. And don't get me started on the weather!

Yeah I get you with the Australia thing, my sister is there at the moment and it looks like bliss 😩 while I'll be doing absolutely nothing for my 30th she'll be at the Australian open, brunching, beaching etc etc 😒
