What shall I do with my week off work?!

[CookleDoodleDoo]

I'm off work next week and into the following one - eleven days off in total😍

My week off will end with a huge Easter weekend. Lovely stuff.

I have no plans apart from getting all the Easter gubbins down and decorating the house to within an inch of its life.
Oh and a smear test. Nice. I'll reward myself after this with a trip to B&M.

That leaves nine other days to fill with whatever the fuck I want.

What shall I do wise MNers? How would you spend nine whole days off?

Same! (But without the smear test 😂)

I'm recently single so struggling to think how to fill my week 😬

Sleep, coffee shop trips, reading, beach trip

A nice hike into the hills on a warm day.

I'd book a last minute holiday abroad. Don't waste it.

If I had to stay close to home though I'd exercise, walk, go see all the exhibitions on, theatre matinees, read, lunch out, get a new recipe book and cook some stuff, visit friends, get a massage, lots of cinema trips...

All of the things you'd usually do with your evenings and weekends.

But yes, I'd go away definitely.

Got any money? Kids or responsibilities at home?

I'd be looking at a cheap trip away!

https://www.holidaypirates.com/ is great for looking for cheap deals.

I can't go away because of my dog 😩

Have money.
No kids.
No responsibilities (apart from said dog).

Can dog go into dog care / to friends or family even for one night?

Can the dog go with you somewhere where there are some nice walks?

Dog friendly air b&b?

Unfortunately not - holidays are on hold for a few years.

If I needed to stay at home then I would:

• Hairdressers for a decent cut / style etc
• Book a lovely long massage.
• Visit a friend / meet a friend for lunch (more than once if poss).
• Go and see an afternoon film alone (with chocolate!)
• Talk my DH into a day off work and go visit a Nat Trust type place or walk along the coast.
• Do some sort of personal organisation like building a photo album or sorting through oLd clothes / bags / shoes for a sense of achievement.
• Binge watch a series and read mumsnet for a day!
• Get out for a morning walk each day, just after any school runs into the woods / hills / seafront etc

Sleep
daily yoga
read
nice walks
films in the evening
early bedtime to read!
cook and eat really nourishing food

Oooh, trying a new recipe is definitely on the cards. I always make Easter chocolates and Easter eggs anyway. Might add a new cake into the mix too.

Take the dog to places locally that you have not been to. During 2020 I discovered places local to me I never knew existed (and met so many dogs I lost count).
