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!!

I am still working so not quite in the same boat (I am very grateful as my job was meant to be terminated a few weeks ago). However I feel the same as you on my time off. I miss sitting in a coffee shop people watching. I miss meeting with friends and family. I miss chatting to people. I miss going to my hair stylist and the chat. I miss night away in hotels on my own and just chilling. I miss just being able to hop on public transport when there are cheap tickets available and have a day out.

I made myself a travel coffee, toasted my crumpets and wrapped them in foil then drove to the local marina to eat my breakfast with a view in the car this morning. It was great!

But since being back home I can't be arsed ☹️

I save up my cleaning for the weekend for something to do! 😒
I go for walks when the weather isn't horrific.
I do yoga occasionally.
I have 2 dc (inc 1 y13) at home needing quiet for their online studies/classes.
I go and see my mother everyday. We aren't close but its somewhere to go (she's in our bubble).
No concentration for reading, learning new things...
My brain is so malfunctioning atm I accidentally poisoned myself with kettle descaler last week 🙄
I have a hospital appointment tomorrow for an unpleasant procedure, but at least I'm getting out of the house!
Its rough 😔

I took my car to the automated car wash today!

I then parked in a empty part of asda carpark and cleaned the inside and polished all the windows (nowhere safe to do this at home)

I took my time, it was lovely to be somewhere else for a bit. I also did a non essential shop in asda and have fresh french baguette.

I feel like a renegade! 😂

I want to sit in a coffee shop and, like @purplecorkheart, just people watch. I want to have my hair done; I have a short style that needs doing every five weeks so I look and feel like shit. I am DONE with this, it's shit. People are NOT 'wallowing', they are (rightly) pissed off with the way their lives have been restricted. And as a PP said, it's not inclusive, some of us don't have gardens, or a green space to go for 'a lovely walk.'
I'm an intelligent person, I live alone, I'm very rarely bored. But the things that sustain me mentally have been taken away (including mental health support.) And I am going to be pissed off about it. It is WRONG to try to shame and guilt trip people with judgy comments about ventilators etc. Fuck off with your virtue-signalling. Apologies for rant and shouty capitals.

@mum2jakie

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!!!!!!

@Hobnobswantshernameback

You genius
I've just hired a hot tub for a month it's coming tomorrow

Bored here too. My brain seems to have turned to mush, I have completely lost the ability to focus on anything for more than a few minutes. I have zero concentra...

@Hobnobswantshernameback

Grobags I love smack in the middle of a city Bang central in the largest city in wales I have to walk 10-15 minutes to get to a green space I'll tell you what's "cruel" is listening to some of my colleagues tell me what they are having to do on the covid wards and ICU currently Staying local hasn't killed me yet

I agree (am in Wales too). It's not a cruel policy, but a sensible one. You can drive to a local green space to exercise if you really need to (for example if you are disabled), but the key theme is "stay local." Most people are in walking distance of some green space, Wales is not exactly a concrete jungle!

@Throughhistory

I'm building up to getting my wellies out of the car. Trying to think of it as a trip out.

Is that an essential journey?

Hot tub was a lockdown birthday idea from DH and has been re-ordered for the next school holidays
We were meant to be away in a cottage for February half term
That'll be the third cancelled holiday
Hot tub businesses are booming round here

Oh and Skint if the virtue signalling comment and fuck off is aimed at me just do and one and read what I actually said
The whole thing is a shitshow
Government policy in Wales is "stay local"
It's frustrating and tedious and boring and crap but it's not some sort of cruel maliciously torture

Surely if you are not quoted or tagged you can’t safely assume someone’s comment is about you.

It wasn't aimed at you @Hobnobswantsherusernameback, but if you want to claim it that's fine by me.
You fuckin do one with your middle-class shite about hot tubs and holidays and DRIVING to a green space. Of course we can all do that. Just because I'm having a different experience from you is no reason for you to be nasty.

@BamboozledandBefuddled 🤣🤣🤣

I wasn't being nasty
God just leave it
I was having a laugh on a thread after an utterly shit week
And fuck of with the middle class shit
You really have no clue
Not engaging any further

I had a very exciting day. Did my dog walk loop in the other direction and fell on my arse in the mud. I felt like a right plonker, but at least I was reasonably close to home.

@Hobnobswantshernameback

I'm contemplating cleaning my oven Someone talk me down

I have actually cleaned mine - after 7 years! I've started ironing too. I hate ironing, but it's pleasantly warm on a cold day and it's something different to do. Our garden is soooo neat and tidy this winter - not a leaf in sight. Oh god I'm bored.

I can't watch A Place in the Sun - it makes me want to cry.

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

@supercee

I'm going into work. On a Sunday. When I don't have to. Beat that.

Woah. You definitely win!

Yes, Fembot123, there are so many little things around the house that I could do, but I can't be bothered. It's as much as I can manage to get out of bed, showered and dressed some days.

I don't even know what my normal is. I had my DS November 2019, first baby. Poor bubba is a telly zombie and my motivation is shot.to.shite. So many things we can apparently do but who can be arsed anymore 😂 walked to the shops earlier for an hour, he napped and I feel like wonder woman for doing it. Hopefully I leave the house sooner than another 4 days. (It was weeks before as WFH and can't be aaaaarsed!) feels like a safe place here to just say it as it is!

@WhateverTheySay hahaha at everything 🤣

I’m so glad it’s not just me ☺️ If I saw a jigsaw right now I’d kick it in the face as well. We’ve all been here, done that and got the T-shirt.

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
