To want to have a short holiday on my own?

[turnlightoff]

I’m a single mum working full time, very little support and had a pretty shit few years.
Was just thinking tonight how I haven’t had a proper break for about 5 years
What I would really love right now is to just be by myself for about 2 or 3 maybe 4 nights and just go and have a holiday all on my own doing what I want to do and sleep sleep sleep as much as I want and drink wine, watch films, watch telly go for long walks etc, have some thinking time with no background noise demands and interruptions.
Maybe I don’t even need to get away to do this maybe I just need a babysitter...
I’m going to organise something I reckon though and book something.. but what? I don’t know.. I just need a break,.,
Anyone got any suggestions at all or has anyone ever got away from it all on their own?

Actually reading this back all I’ve said is I want to watch telly and drink wine and sleep I could just do that at home

Could you go to a hotel in a nice town near you? Ive been to hotels on my own and it’s lovely.

YANBU. I've been on holiday by myself and I've loved it - all done totally to my whims, my schedule, my budget with no compromising or missing out.

No such thing as lonely if you stay in hostels as there are always fellow travellers there and drinking buddies. I'll probably do it again next time I go too.

Yes that’s the sort of thing I’m thinking of.. just get away for a little bit away from it all

Actually loving the idea of a nice hotel in my own

I went away last year for a weekend on my own and loved everything single minute

Definitely do it, what I did was go to a town a few hours drive. Food, sightseeing, etc.

Airbnb is fantastic, got myself a little self contained bedsit. Or go to a fabulous hotel with spa facilities.

It will do you the world of good.

Go for it. If you're thinking about it like this you must need it. I dream of a week's yoga retreat. Just me and a few strangers. No DP no DC either. Preferably on a Greek island.

I did this when DD was a bit younger. I was so stressed, coping with single motherhood and working full time and various dramas and my parents kindly had DD for 2-3 nights and I booked a lovely hotel in Dorset on my own. It was just what I needed, and I was able to recharge my batteries. I loved getting up when I wanted, and chilling. It did me the world of good. Obviously I missed DD but I really needed a break as things were getting on top of me. I felt pangs of guilt at the time but I'm glad I did it.
