to bugger off for 2 days with no kids and get pissed in a hotel

[starshaker]

I need a break after a break up (I'm sure there will be people here who will be pleased about that). My babysitter is watching the kids friday to Saturday and I can do what the hell I want.

1. get drunk and feel sorry for myself
2. Explore a city
3. go camping

I did look at a trip to rome or somewhere but flights don't work out so I'm sticking to about 4 hours travel at max. I need to do something other than get pissed because then I may do something really stupid. Im near Glasgow

Can you rally up a couple of girlfriends to go along with you? Could be more fun with friends.

Otherwise I'd hide away in a boutique hotel with a book and bottles of wine.

Sounds like heaven !

I don't have anybody to do anything with. Pretty pathetic isn't it?

Get yourself to Arran for the night. Either to Auchrannie Spa or a campsite. Go for a walk up Goatfell then to a bar at night. Guaranteed to make you feel better.

What about a spa? You can get some good deals on last minute. Take some books and a bottle and spoil yourself.

Spa break? Come back feeling rejuvenated rather than hungover? I'd love to do that on my own

It's MN so I have to suggest a spa It's the law.

Ps not pathetic. V normal. Hope you're okay though

Bwahaha x-post

See if portavadie have any availability

Can't believe I was almost the first to suggest spa

If you know drinking will create a problem, you need to go somewhere where that won't happen, don't you?

Arran sounds great! I think you will be more proud of yourself OP if you go out and force yourself to do something. Don't let the bastards get you down 👍🏻

Not pathetic, blissful. Treat it as a chance to recharge your batteries and reset yourself a bit.

Agree about the nice hotel. Cinema / theatre matinee if that's you're thing, health spa treatments if you fancy, wine, good food, magazines and lots of sleep.

Can I come?

Spa sounds good. Looked into Aaran and its pretty booked up.

Do you want to be alone and re charge or have an adventure ? What do you feel exited to do ..?

I looked at groupons etc and most were offers if 2 were bought

I don't know. Part of me wants to feel sorry for myself but another part wants to make the most of the free time because it really doesn't happen often

I would want to go to a Hote and get pissed (my phone changed that to kissed!!) but actually I would go to a spa, i think. Last time I looked at group on for spa deals it was actually only single deals, it's funny isn't it how it changes.

One day feeling sorry for yourself, wake up Saturday for your adventure!

I went on a spa afternoon by myself. It was fab because I did what I wanted when I wanted. If I'd gone with someone else I'd be worrying about them and if they were doing what they want. No shame going by yourself. Enjoy!

Good book, good walking, find a good B&B good luck

I had an overnight break with my DH at the Westerwood Hotel and Spa near Cumbernauld as a Valentine's present from my son (to cheer me up as my Mum died on Val day), had a great time! Not really into the spa though but I did have a facial and spent hours in the pool!

Go stay in the blythswood hotel in Glasgow! Use the spa, have a few cocktails, go see a film at the GFT....... bliss!

I took an overnight trip to a hotel with a spa a couple of years ago when I was completely overwhelmed. I had a long walk, a massage, a long swim, a long hot bath, a G&T with my book, nice wine with a good dinner (it was an autumn tasting menu so there were small glasses of specific wines to match the courses - so nicely buzzing but not sloshed levels of alcohol), good sleep. Next morning, I had a good breakfast and short walk, short swim, facial, another short swim, then headed for home and stopped for a naice sandwich on the way.

It wasn't even 30 hours, but it made SUCH a difference!!
