Help me plan my day in bed!

I've just come off 15 days of work with no break and a heavy cold. I'm not feeling ill, just congested and my plan for today is to go out in search of snacks, and head back to bed for a day of telly.
I'll be going to M&S for the snacks and got all the streaming channels.
I love spooky stuff but fairly low concentration stuff needed.
What shall I eat and what shall I watch? All recommendations very gratefully received!

I don’t watch anything spooky so no recommendations on that front but my snacks of choice for a day on the sofa would be beef hula hoops, pickled onion monster munch, spicy niknaks, bread and cheese, maybe in the form of a baked camembert, maltesers and lots of water. I’d light the fire too.
I can’t eat in bed, the crumbs are horrible - my only exception is on a Sunday when I change the sheets but even then it’s only if the kids make me breakfast in bed on Mother’s Day or something like that!!
Sounds like it’s a very well deserved day off of doing nothing and it’s a very wet and windy day here so I’d not even feel guilty about ‘wasting the day’. Enjoy 😊

I still fondly remember a weekend, many years ago, where I only ate buttered crackers (all I had in) and drank tea, but I stayed in bed for most of the weekend and read 6 books.

Bloody loved it!

Yours sounds better planned though, OP.

I think I'll also need some cookies for tea.
Drinks wise I'd love a never ending draught pepsi max with loads of ice so I might need to buy a bottle and a bag of ice instead

Move your toaster to the bedroom.

Move your toaster to the bedroom.

This is one step too far 🤣

The fall of the house of usher on Netflix, I found it creepy and gory but not actually too scary if that makes sense

2 x hot water bottles.

Oh yes I know exactly what you mean. A bit like American horror story

What I wouldn't do for a day alone in bed with snacks and TV!

I'd binge watch Grey's Anatomy or House.

I'd eat M&S pastries and a fruit platter for breakfast with loads of coffee

Snacks I'd have large packet of ridged salt and vinegar crisps with sour cream dip, and mini eggs. Diet coke and a big water.

For tea later, I'd have some kind of creamy chicken soup with a huge chunk of bread, and some wine.

The dream!

Topjoe19 · 02/03/2024 13:15

@YouAndMeAndThem that sounds absolutely perfect!

WhiteMule · 02/03/2024 13:29

Is that not possible @YouAndMeAndThem ? I think everyone should have self indulgent day occasionally.

Some of those frozen lemon slices would be nice in the Pepsi if you still get them!

Can never seem to get rid of children and DH simultaneously without contacting some communicable disease that leaves me not fit for enjoying my day in bed 🤣🤣
