Tell me how bored you are

Earlier this evening, I caught myself closing and opening each eyelid in turn because the noise it made amused me.

You?

Dunno... Just really really bored, so bored that's as far as my expressions can go. I can't imagine ever being excited about anything ever again!

I went to tesco for food eg dinners...I only bought biscuits, chocolate, nuts and cake. That was my dinner. I'm so bored I cant get my head round buying shopping now.

I considered clicking on the 'toenail fungus' thread...
but didn't.

I’m IN IN
I’ve been IN In for absolute months. I can’t even remember what OUT OUT means although I do know I don’t want to do it and IN IN suits me although I’m very much alone and can’t see that changing.

Can’t say I’m bothered although I can see it becoming an issue.

I’ve no job, no life, no one around me

Considered carrying out an audit of my cookware and masks and shoes. Didn’t actually do it of course.

JackieWeaverIsTheAuthority · 09/02/2021 22:58

On a scale of 1-10 I’m making socks for my cat.

Tatapie · 09/02/2021 22:59

Cleaned the tumble dryer today. So fucking bored.

Jloco · 09/02/2021 23:00

I spent about 15 minutes this morning reading Amazon reviews for silicone nose pads for glasses

Guineapigbridge · 09/02/2021 23:00

I'm on here...

Carryingon · 09/02/2021 23:02

I am so bored I have come back to this thread for an update on other people’s boring lives.

I clicked onto the toe nail fungus thread and read every reply.

Same. I'm now on my way to bed. I added a frisson of excitement by turning on the heated blanket before I went off to brush my teeth. The extravagance is slightly thrilling.

So bored that I've sorted my kitchen cupboards and fridge freezer out for the second time in 5 days. It wasn't even untidy.

wildthingsinthenight · 09/02/2021 23:12

Earlier on I lay down on the living room floor just for a change of scenery.
Gave me a whole new perspective Grin
Also a good view of some cobwebs I'd missed!

Stirmecrazy · 09/02/2021 23:14

I’m so bored I am actually looking forward to my COVID test tomorrow. For the record I am being forced to take the test as I live in a South African strain postcode not because I think I have COVID . Then I will have the excitement of waiting for the (almost certainly negative as I don’t go out or see anyone other than the dog) test result
. Yep that’s how bored I am

Adelais · 09/02/2021 23:18

I have a doctors appointment tomorrow. I’m excited as haven’t been anywhere other than the local supermarket since December.

Was just about to say that :)

After having just spent a pleasant 15 mins reading the corporate accounts witty replies to the Weetabix baked beans tweet.

ssd · 09/02/2021 23:42

I'm looking forward to tidying out my socks drawer tomorrow.

1990s · 09/02/2021 23:47

I have become vaguely obsessive about decluttering things. I’m selling one thing on eBay, I keep double checking it. What am I checking?

Quite like the idea of lying on the floor for a change of perspective....

I wonder if the nation has ever been as collectively bored as now...

Astella22 · 10/02/2021 00:12

I’ve cleaned my windows and my Mams
I’ve painted my fireplace
I’ve reorganised the garage
I’ve given the dog a bath

Soooo bored

Fileexplorerrrr · 10/02/2021 00:28

I bought one of those drain snake things and cleaned out all the bathroom plug holes 🤦🏻‍♀️

Onlineshopperforever · 10/02/2021 00:30

The highlight of my week was going to Tesco instead of Asda.
