What would you do with one child free hour to yourself each week?

Posting here for traffic really.

My employers are introducing half days on Friday and as I start early I can finish one whole hour before I would normally collect my children from nursery.

The thing is I so rarely have time like this to myself that I just don't know what to do with this golden hour each week! I don't want to waste it. Ideas so far include going swimming and taking a long leisurely lunch. Do you have any better ideas wise mumsnetters?

I'd find a nice little tea shop, and sit and have a lovely hot drink and slice of cake (without sharing!) in peace and quiet whilst reading a good book.

I really miss being able to properly sit and read since having kids.

Boring but I would drink tea & eat cake in a coffee shop.
I'd probably end up doing the supermarket shop though & get it out of the way.

I'd do the food shopping. I used to have 1.5 hours on a Tuesday after finishing work before the dc got home from school (I finished at 2pm, they finish at 3.30pm) and I did the weekly shop in peace. Hopefully I'll go back to my normal hours soon and can recommence my peaceful Tuesday afternoon shop.

Yoga, read, work out, italian study, ccok, bake. Reality probably pay bills, errands, laundry, housecleaning :(

If i had time to get home I'd have a bath in peace.

if not a wander round the oxfam bookshop (I love that place so much) and then hot chocolate and cake in a cafe.
