Anyone not left the house for days?

Not been out since Christmas Day. I'm full of cold & weather is miserable outside. The kids have been playing with their toys, watching films etc but I feel bad like we should be doing something.

Well, you’re ill so you have reason to stay home. I would too in your circumstance.

However, I go mad if I stay in all day every day for days on end. I ran on Christmas Day and travelled home Boxing Day. Went to the supermarket yesterday as have people for lunch today. Went to the gym this morning.

Will be hungover tomorrow so will be sofa bound!

Hope you get well soon - relax and recover; tis the season!

No, but I'd go mad, and some people choose to do that. If everyone is happy and you're unwell, there's no good reason to go out.

I have only left to go for a coffee and to a local supermarket (we’ve had visitors) but I’m going a tiny bit crazy but off to the city for shopping and getting hair done for a party on Monday. So I don’t feel bad for today

life is hard

Well if you’re unwell it’s different. However, I have a three year old boy and a small flat with no garden. I’d actually have to be on my deathbed with both legs hanging off before staying inside for days on end was the better option.

I don't go out unless I have to. I think twice since finishing for Christmas on 14th. I have to go to Waitrose in a bit to pick up my John Lewis sales shopping. Considering getting dressed for first time since, I can't remember when.

I don't plan on going out for days now, I've just gone off on the sick at 31 weeks pregnant (pelvic pain due to standing at my till all day) and I don't feel bad about it at all, in fact I can't wait to stay home 🤣

I'm just away to go out for a walk as been in the house since Christmas Day. December has been very hectic so it's been good having some down time, but now I need to get out

I’m full of a stinking cold so apart from a 30 min walk on Boxing Day I’ve not been out.
