What would you be doing as a ghost?

[spiderlight]

I had a dream last night in which I started this thread and it amused me when I woke up, so what the heck! Imagine you died today but stayed in your house as one of those boring non-interactive ghosts who just go through the same motions from the day they died for the rest of eternity (think Lady Button jumping out of the window at midnight every night in 'Ghosts'). What would you be stuck doing on repeat, based on your current daily rituals? I am currently in the depths of house-training with a new rescue dog, so the ghost of me in 100 years time would appear in the back garden on an hourly basis, wearing a huge old coat of DH's that has been deemed the Back Door Coat and saying 'Come on Daisy - wee-wees!'

Snap!

Wiping down the kitchen surfaces. Sitting in the comfy armchair.

Still working as we're short staffed 🤣

I’d be eating all the food I want and never put on weight 😂

Potty training one child and weaning the other. Please no.

Wondering what to make for dinner

I'd be asking the cat why they've done such a stinky poo.
Imagine that turning up on a ghost recording.

On nice days, I'd haunt the back garden.

Working at my desk. Getting a cup of tea. Repeat.

Poovering the Guinea pig cage.

Cleaning the cat litter and/or feeding the demanding little munchkins...

If based on today then I will be spending eternity asleep as I was on a night shift yesterday and was asleep hiding from Dh all day

I'd go to all of the lectures at a really good Uni. I always think how interesting so many topics are and would love to be able to chop and change on a whim, get all of the interesting examples and then not have to do the exams and essays 😄

I probably should clarify I'm looking into doing an MA and struggling to pick a subject!

I would hang out at the library and say BOO.

On a day of leadership workshops. For the love of God, PLEASE, do not let me die today.

Wiping DS's nose, blowing my own nose and occasionally looking around at the bombsite that is my home.

Be on endless Teams calls then do loads of laundry. Scroll on ghostie Mumsnet talking to other ghosts who may or may not exist.

Generally being a pita leaving kitchen cupboards open to let Dw know I've visited and see if I could get a demon to latch on to an ex line manager who made my life hell.

I'd be sitting at the compute, on the sofa or in bed but with a cat on me. \\if I'm a ghost so is my cat.

This actually came up recently at work. We have a unstable colleague (ex military). My lovely peer said 'what if he shoots you when you confront him? '. My answer is I wouldn't know anything about it but I would haunt him for eternity in between shopping in Selfridges and similar stores. Mind you most of those places have got favourite ghost stories. As a rookie I was a bit freaked in quite a few shops.

Sitting in my chair watching shit on youtube on my phone.

Or tidying up.

As I'm laying in bed on mn with the cat next to me . Eternity will be ok for me.

Shuffling round the house picking up the detritus abandoned by my husband, who is apparently incapable of seeing any task through to completion, and muttering profanities.

Closing the toilet door after my DH has been in there. He treats pooing as a performance art.

Wandering around the house in despair looking for all the missing bits of school uniforms that never make it to the wash basket. 😞
