What shall I do tomorrow - solo on my birthday!

Don’t feel sorry for me, I am actually delighted that my bday has fallen on my day off, and all of my friends are at work so I have this time to myself! I have approx 5.5 hours all to myself to do exactly what I want, before pick up and birthday dinner…

Options are currently a) take dog for long walk in nearby country park, treat myself to coffee and cake at the cafe or b) go on a shopping spree…. I haven’t been shopping for myself in longer than I care to remember.

Had I been more forward thinking I would have booked a long over due appt at the hairdressers, but never mind.

Any other ideas?

Art gallery/exhibition? Spa day? Brunch somewhere lovely?

Hot bath and Netflix?

Happy Birthday!

Love your ideas - you could contact the Hairdressers as you never know that someone may have cancelled.?

Nails done if that’s your thing, cinema if there is a film you would like to see

Have a fab birthday

B sounds lovely if you've not done it for a long time. Make sure you have a nice lunch venue in mind!

Contact a hairdresser and shopping spree before or after the hair.

Cinema, lunch, tea/coffee and cake. I love watching a film at the cinema in the afternoon. Happy birthday 🎉 🎂

Long dog walk w cake and coffee sounds pretty good

I agree with all the other posts saying call hairdresser to see if they have space
