Need to tidy the whole house but I'm so content sitting in bed drinking coffee and watching youtube clips

I think I'll spend another hour chilling and then tear myself up out of bed and put on taylor swift's new album and execute an hour of languid 'tidying away' before I start cleaning and so on. I'm single so no other half to mess up as I tidy up. No other half to complain about my taste in music though! Eldest at work, youngest still asleep. I'm just in the mood to relax.

You Go Girl! It’s good for your mental health to have time to yourself to do what you want.

Im in bed too watching TV, partner downstairs making my breakfast. I’m not very well with a heavy cold but lying here under the duvet is bliss. I have no intentions of getting up any time soon.

Happy Christmas!

Do it while you can. I am doing the same. How often do we get the chance? Happy Christmas!

Sounds bliss, enjoy!

Sounds blissful. Enjoy!

Same!!! I need to do cleaning, a bit of life admin, and get a few things from the shop, but it is SO nice lazing around...

I need to do so much but I am enjoying sitting drinking coffee and chatting to my DDs who arrived last night for Christmas.

I'm still in bed too. Grin
DS7 is next to me playing minecraft, ds11 still snoozing. I've put the washing machine on when I got a drink but that's it so far. Will get up soon to bake but right now I'm enjoying being lazy. Grin enjoy op.

I love mumsnet!

this makes me feel so much better! It’s my first day off in eight days so I’ve had a lie in! My child is still asleep too! I don’t have a huge clean to do just a general tidy round but I do need to go town.

This year I refuse to make my self stressed or ill. I’m taking it easy and lots of rest for once!

Oh god me too! Wondering if I can somehow tether the dog to the vacuum cleaner and use her as some kind of canine roomba?

That could work, right?

What sort of dog do you have? It might be easier to sprinkle dog biscuits on the floor and they can snuffle them up, more like a Vax that way, the carpet gets a wash! Albeit in dog saliva.

Do it!
I wish I was in bed with a coffee.
I can't complain too much as I'm lay on the sofa with my 5 month old fast asleep on me which I love.
But I'm exhausted and have a lot to do today. Partner isn't well and has been in bed for 2 days.
Hopefully we don't catch what DP has!
I have distant memories of lying in bed with a coffee flicking through social media and watching YouTube clips. Enjoy! ☕️

Enjoy! I need to clean up too although this year is the first in ages I'm not hosting so house doesn't need to be visitor ready at least. Have been enjoying a lazy morning but hoping to get it done in a couple of hours. Then we can go to Christingle this evening and I can relax with a prosecco when we get back - assuming a very excited DD goes to bed of course!

Cincinnatus · 24/12/2022 11:22

I am still in bed too! I have loads to do….

CrapBucket · 25/12/2022 00:27

Thanks to this thread I decided relaxing is so much better than cleaning... I did some of my chores, shut the door on the rest and went for coffee and mince pies with a friend! Thank you OP, hope everyone had a chilled Christmas Eve.
