Got up late (tired, tbf also have chronic illness).

Messed about on MN a bit. Had a glass of wine. Usually unfriendly cat sat on my lap which was nice. I can’t be arsed with much as tired of my to-do list. Preparing for a more enjoyable week next week, hopefully. I did dye my hair though.

Apart from that no major achievements at all. Or even minor ones. I will cook a nice dinner - from the freezer lol - but that’s all folks.

Anyone else have a do-nothing day? How did it go?

Also not very well at the moment so spent the first half of the day reading in bed, had a bath and am now on the settee where I shall remain until someone feeds me!

Lisad1975 · 10/02/2024 16:32

Unwell here too! Had horrid cold all week now my whole body hurts and I literally have no energy. Typical as it’s half term. Not moving off the sofa !

strawberrybarn · 10/02/2024 16:32

I'm on annual leave at the moment from a very busy job in emergency services so I am trying very hard not to feel guilty at having done nothing today! I'm still in my oodie.

I will need to pull my finger out soon, I'm going for a birthday dinner with DH.

strawberrybarn · 10/02/2024 16:33

I'm tired of my to do list too! I keep moving things rather than ticking them off and am so fed up of seeing the same things on it.

mondaytosunday · 10/02/2024 16:36

Up at 8, walked dogs, went in to town to meet a couple people and go to the Chanel exhibit at V&A (fabulous but prepare to wait), lunch there then ice cream and coffee at another venue (we had a seven year old with us), tube back, M&S for little food shop, home just now to four hungry little fur balls (two dogs, two cats).
Have to admit I'm not usually so active on a Saturday since my kids grew up!

Loafbeginsat60 · 10/02/2024 16:48

Picked up a meat box I had ordered at 9
Took dd to get her hair done (three hours later....)
Now sitting with heated blanket and dogs watching tv
About to make dinner

Very lazy day

IsaidIwouldAndIwill · 10/02/2024 16:49

It's been a very lazy day - did a bit of ironing, dyed my hair - dinner from the local Indian tonight.

(I had a busier day yesterday though)

onlyconnect · 10/02/2024 17:02

I've had a lovely day so far doing
not much. A bit of pottering in the house, trimmed a few plants, watched a couple of episodes of One Day; been for a walk.

FknOmniShambles · 10/02/2024 17:04

Got up, went to farm shop, had a coffee and cake with DP, picked up nice nice treat food. Then came back, made a chicken broth from yesterday's roast and played a couple of hours on my PC. Now chilling with a glass of wine and thinking about making tea.
Very nice leisurely Saturday.

Titsywoo · 10/02/2024 17:06

I'm 2 weeks post op from gynae surgery but feeling much more mobile and well so went to cafe for a big fry up at 11 with DH and DS, went to get a small food shop then came home and cleaned. Currently making fresh bagels then will chill in front of the tv for the evening!

SquigglePigs · 10/02/2024 17:07

It's the first day of half term and my 5 yr old is shattered (and I'm ill) so we've had as quiet a day as you can get away with with a little one.

TV, books and tablet time this morning (DH and DD left me in bed til 9am), cuddles and snuggles (and role play games for a bit), then DH took DD to a friends for a playdate for a couple of hours. We had a simple sausage sandwich lunch, she played with her dolls house for a bit, then we played some board games, read some books, watched last weeks Gladiators episode, and now she's having the longest bath in history.

Nice simple pasta tea planned for her, then a takeaway for us. I've got a g&t and am enjoying an hours TV whilst she's in the bath.

You also dyed your hair! 😃 Snap.

But you say you had a busy day yesterday (me too). Interesting how we sort of have to “justify” it heh.

Popped to Morrisons earlier to get some veg, went to the gym and now watching rugby. This time last week I was on holiday so am feeling really sad and down as I haven't seen the sun since I got back.

HelloStarlings · 10/02/2024 17:15

@SideshowAuntSallyx that sounds pretty active!! But yh it takes a while to adjust …

Up at 9.... sorted out the pile of games and jigsaws. Made a sausage and butter bean slow cooker thingy. Cast on stitches to make a new hat, did the minimum walk that I do when I'm not being very ambitious as I know it is 4,000 steps, sat and looked at the sea. Ate the thingy. Now in bath before friend knocks to go to local theatre, 10 mins away...

HelloStarlings · 10/02/2024 17:24

Another busy poster my goodness. Not the spirit of the thread 😂 !

Doing/done fuck all too. Played Frozen Freefall on the 360. Changed the table cloth (the dog knocked my glass of red wine over it last night). Done some knitting. Wrote in my diary. That's about it.

LBOCS2 · 10/02/2024 17:27

Took youngest DD for her swimming lesson this morning. Collected DH from football, picked up McDonalds for the family, came home. Since then I have read my book, provided a couple of snacks and had a lovely sofa nap. DH is making dinner and I'm now watching the rugby and chatting to DD1 who has deigned to leave her room.

HelloStarlings · 10/02/2024 17:30

Ha @UnctuousUnicorns ! I’m not even dressed, is it even worh it now? 5.27 pm. But dinner calls …

One totally pointless, unproductive, indulgent day line this now and again heh? But my hair is done that said….

Had a hard few weeks (nurse). Should be out today but I felt decidedly too middle aged to be in a busy city centre with my beautiful much much younger colleagues.
So a day doing as little as possible. Hardly moved this morning then popped out to the shop to buy stuff for tea that I can have leftovers for work.
Currently back on my sofa watching the rugby.

I'm not either. 😳 I need to shower, though, my hair needs washing. Just call me Waynetta.

stargazer24 · 10/02/2024 17:40

Woke up early to go out to breakfast, scenic walk with the kids, homework and ironing done, tonight I'll be having a long bath then a takeaway.

UnctuousUnicorns · 10/02/2024 17:40

Can I count listening to music as an activity? I've done that. #hopeful

HelloStarlings · 10/02/2024 17:42

@UnctuousUnicorns haha🙂
