What would you do with a day completely to yourself?

My children are abroad, my DH is working and I am on school holidays as a term-time only worker. I have an entire day off tomorrow with no plans at all and nobody around (all my friends are working or off with their kids or on holiday!).

I don’t know what to do with myself but I know I don’t want to waste it.

What would you do?!

I would make lots of plans but, realistically, probably stare at my phone for few hours then have a nap

This would be my absolute dream! I would:

Wake up and go to the gym.

Shower then go into town, buy a newspaper and take it to a café to read with a coffee. Eat brunch out.

Mooch around an art gallery and some of the shops in town or have a pedicure at the salon. Stop off somewhere I could have an afternoon glass of wine in the sun and people watch.

Home to potter in the garden for a bit and have a long soak in a bubble bath.

Then I'd make a baked camembert with crusty bread and chutney and eat that in front on the TV.... watching something trashy and mindless like bingeing Selling Sunset on Netflix.

Up to bed with a cup of tea and my book to read.

Now I just have to figure out when I could actually pack DH and DDs off somewhere so I can do this.

Short lie in, check the kitchen for what they have left out previously then a run followed by a long breakfast catching up with soaps. Clean rabbit out and put washing on then shower and chill 😎 might even play a bit of Tomb Raider or Silent Hill x

See, knit, crochet and embroider. Read a book maybe go for a walk. Bliss.

Train into central London. Art gallery. Long walk through favourite areas with nostalgic songs playing via earbuds. Lunch somewhere new or with food my family doesn’t eat. Foyles bookshop in Bloomsbury for an extended browse. Home. Shower. Read book until finished without interruption. Cereal for dinner. Sleep like starfish.
