Amazing. Book shop, coffee and cake. Something good for the soul like a museum or cinema?

Sleep in, eat all day and binge-watch movies. :D

I'd do a bit of pottering around the shops, stop in for coffee amd cake somewhere and maybe a beauty treatment. Meet a friend for lunch?

Put your feet up, watch what you want and pig out.

When? Virgin River’s new season is coming to Netflix tomorrow morning and that show is my number 1 guilty pleasure. So easy and relaxing to watch! If you start at 9am you’ll be done by 5pm, lunch and coffee break included - yes I’ve done the maths because that’s all I’m doing tomorrow Grin

One of my best ever days, I went to a nice beach, Westward Ho, read my book in the sun, swam in a saltwater pool, had a nice lunch and a walk along the coast. It was so lovely. It was worth the drive and I went early so I could park easily and avoid crowds.

Ah exactly what I needed- inspiration!

Ok I sound anti social but I've decided not to meet any friends- I can do that another say. This is my day. So shops, haircut, coffee/lunch then cinema or home for a film I think 😊 unfortunately got to take the kids to school so no sleep ins.

Sounds fab!

I’ve got 3 days annual leave next week with DD or DH and I’m trying to figure out how to make best use of it & I love all these ideas!

I am suffering from general exhaustion so just trying to figure out what will reinvigorate me the most whilst letting me have a break.

It’s hard when you aren’t used to it!

Just had one.

Dropped children at school. Drove somewhere beautiful. Went for a walk. Bought myself lunch and a nice coffee, ate it outside. Wandered around a couple of shops.

Debated going into town but didn’t feel peoply so came home, spent 13 minutes blitzing the housev(times it so it didn’t eat into my me day). Made a fresh pot of coffee. Sat in the garden and drank it and read.

Picked children up from school.
