What should I do? I am working from home but no meetings so I might get back into pjs!

What would you do?
What would you eat?
I have lots of boring jobs but don't really want to do those. Never been home on my own, it's lovely!

I would eat all the snacks and lots of cups of tea. X

Read. Watch tv. Eat amazing food. Have a beer or a nice glass of wine. Go to bed early and have a lay in.

What food would you have?

The loveliest bit is no one talking me, bliss!

Wondering if I should get all my work out the way so I can relax.

I love cooking but I spend loads of time cooking usually so if I was alone I'd go for simple food. Maybe cheese on toast or nice cheeses, breads, chutneys etc. Or I might just get a take away! Definitely a couple of glasses of wine.
I'd watch films, read, lounge around, go for a walk, have a lie in. Bliss! Enjoy.

I would Sit in silence in a tidy house knowing no one was going to shout my name or make a mess.

OhNoNotThatAgain · 20/02/2023 14:53

Pizza? A book? Lounge about doing nothing?

WhichOneOfYasHasHadAShit · 20/02/2023 14:55

Hot bath
Takeaway
Blanket on the sofa
Binge a series/film

You've never been at home on your own? 😳I would have lost my mind a long time ago.

If you're working at home presumably you're working most of the day, so you just have this evening to yourself. Cook yourself something delicious or order a takeaway, have a bath and watch something you like. Maybe go for a walk and enjoy knowing that no-one knows where you are.

Ha, I live alone so this is my daily life. Makes me more appreciative hearing how much others savour this! I suggest a lovely bath, a book and a takeaway ☺️

Get your work out of the way.

Boring, I know.

But having worked from home for 3 years now and been through the whole 'I can work in my PJ's' cycle... it's honestly less depressing to just do your work and then relax!

I've been home on my own loads but not overnight, if my husband is away kids are usually home but he's away and kids both have sleepovers.
