What would you do with a day to yourself?

[Frazzledd]

I've got a (very rare/never happens!) day off- Dds (2&3) are with dad for the day and night...haven't had a break since they were born, currently lying under the duvet with a cuppa struggling to switch my head off the daily routine....I'm not going to do what I'd usually want to do but never have time (wardrobe sort out/paperwork/kitchen cupboards/blinds) I want a 'me day!...I think I need one!

I've started to scroll through Netflix/Prime, just about to get my 3 years worth of never used lotions & potions out and have a long, uninterrupted soak in the tub and attack the forest that seems to have developed that used to be my legs.......

I want to cook something nice for myself later, or a rare takeaway...not sure...!?

What would you do!? Tbh I can't stop thinking about my Dds and keep texting 'everything okay!?'....I know they're fine but can't switch off...?

Coffee, crossword, Yoga, walk, book, takeaway, wine, tv show/movie.

Ooh what a treat! Enjoy your “me day”

If I had a day to myself I think I’d blitz the house first thing so it was spotless, then sit for the next however many hours just enjoying it being clean and tidy for more than 0.8373 minutes (while glugging a bottle of wine and eating my body weight in crap!)

Bike ride at the local scenic cycling centre, meet a friend, nice food and Netflix.

Nice hot shower, back in bed with a good book and a brew. I just be a potato for the day. But maybe a wee childfree walk after lunch

I was you a while ago. I always did an epic clean but on hindsight I should have just done nothing. I'd make the room I'm going to be in Nice though. Even just a quick hoover. Don't get suckered into a deep clean. I'd change my bedding and I'd make sure the bin was empty and maybe stay on top of the washing. Apart from that take away not cooking and you need This Is Us on prime. Don't text. Not even once.

When my children started going to their dads, I would always be up and do a quick downstairs hoover/tidy and I can’t relax in mess. Then have a nice shower using my nice stuff. Then TV, game, Netflix. Whatever I enjoy doing. Definitely a takeaway, eating with no interruptions is fab...
you will soon be able to switch off, I used to text constantly and my ex used to always text and reassure me that he was perfectly capable but if something went wrong then of course he would let me know. Which it never has!

I'd go for a walk around a local beauty spot.
Come home and sit with a hot chocolate and marshmallows whilst reading cuddled up on the sofa.
I'd maybe call a friend later in the day.
Early evening I'd pamper myself with a long soak and a face pack.
I'd then watch a film and order a pizza.

@Flappityflippers1 I had a 'mini blitz' last night in prep!
Toys are tidied, washing done, clean bedding....I think if I started the total blitz I really want to do it'd take up the whole day! I've still got pregnancy clothes taking up half the space in my wardrobe that I need to swap back with my pre kids/normal human woman wear...not the lounge wear warrior that I seemed to have turned in to!

I have 5 children and zero family to help, so a day out or a day to myself would be the absolute dream come true. Although any time hubby and I have gone out for a day we miss the kids terribly and cant wait to come home and finish up our date early lol.

7am wake up and have a large bowl of Krave and as much cadburys as I can manage while watching devil wears Prada and Gordon Ramsay Ramsay kitchen nightmares.
10am to 11am a long hot bubble bath
11am go to the local living life museum with my husband, so not technically a day to myself.
1pm a chinese buffet restaurant for lunch til about 3 or 4pm
4pm a walk around the garden centre and maybe a trot round primark.
Back home for more chocolate treats.

Id relish in watching grown up tv programmes or films during the day when it normally isnt possible, nice long shower and all tbe fancy creams, do my nails, read a boom, and a takeaway if theres a really nice one near you.
I think its exciting to learn to enjoy your own time again!

I'd have the house clean and relaxing, get put on a long walk, read my new book, order a chinese and have a g&t and maybe a catch up phone call with a friend? In my dreams, where I am actually brave enough to separate from my husband.

Book! Omg, I can't believe its been so long since I've read a book!??! Where did I go...?

The last one I read was pregnant with Dd1 (pilgrimage of Harold fry)....there all in still in box in my garage having been replaced with 3 shelves of picture books/ phonics/ abc's etc /Julia Donaldsons.....in my defence I moved in just before Dd1 was born, there's 15months between her and Dd2 and my place is 75% a nursery setting right now...

I'm looking for a good creepy film to watch, charcoal face pack is ready to go, bubbles in the bath...and I'm definitely doing my nails...sold on the takeaway now too (is it wrong to get one for lunch!?)

Also can't remember when I last just sat down and ate a meal without jumping up and doing something...its been a bit of an eye opener morning to the things I seemed to have forgotten I enjoyed doing (or used to be able to do!)...

(Not texted again, yet....!)
