Don't want to eat anything. Don't want to watch anymore TV. Can't play new console (I just can't use the controller!)

Already had a nap. Don't want to clean.

No where to walk locally and my car is broken down so I can't go anywhere and garage isn't open till Jan 2nd :(

I'm SO BORED

Read a book? I can never feel bored as long as I have a good book!

I don't have any. Not really a reader.

That’s what I was about to say!

If you don’t have any books you want to read, you can buy and download pretty much any book onto your phone, OP.

Anyone alone or who need an escape from family who would appreciate a phone call?

If I had the car I'd drive some where to walk the dogs or go visit family or friends.

I like watching films, eating. With the kids.

But absolutely had enough of food and TV over the last week.

Ditto baking or cooking.

Play games with your dogs. Teach them new tricks. Confuse them and have a laugh at their expense. It's what I do.

AceofPentacles · 26/12/2023 16:14

Meditate or listen to podcasts

Nttttt · 26/12/2023 16:14

Audible! You may not be a reader but give it a chance, you don’t have to put in the effort. It took me a while to get into listening to audiobooks but I’m hooked now!

festivepains · 26/12/2023 16:15

Ahh are you back to work tomorrow?

HerRoyalNotness · 26/12/2023 16:17

Do you have any hair dye stashed? DD and I are dying our hair.

we live in boring suburbia but will get out and walk the dog anyway soon for something to do.

Any puzzles in the house? I’ve been working on a 1000 piece, it keeps me occupied (worth picking some up to have on hand for boring times)

Headphones in. Shoes on.

What is there if you just walk in your area/as far as your feet carry you?

Titsywoo · 26/12/2023 20:02

I don't think I've ever been bored as an adult! Surely there is always something to do?

IwishIdidntlikesugar · 26/12/2023 21:42

Ive been bored plenty of times.

Same.

I'm crafting atm.

Spotify Premium have loads of free books on now. What are your interests?

I used today to get some furniture painting done. Is there any job you could do around the house and use this valuable time ???
