To want to stay in bed all day & do bugger all?

[ArsenalsPlayingAtHome]

I just can't get my act together today.

I want a day off from life.

Anyone else feeling like this/sometimes feel like this?

Hoping it's not just me!

I often feel like this. You’re definitely not alone.

Yes it's a 'Duvet Day' !!

Yep, I'm on fifth cup of tea and am too lazy to put the kettle on again!

Take some downtime, are you tired from work?

Embrace your downtime and enjoy!

It's called a mental health day. A psychologist told me this so it's a legitimate thing, (gavel).

To be fair I do think there is a bit of truth in it. Sometimes your body needs a rest and sometimes your brain needs a rest and sometimes both!

Yep, I was glad dd1 had arranged to meet a friend at the park cos it meant I had an excuse for a lazy sofa day!

I've spent the day in bed, reading and then surfaced to have a bath and pamper while DH looks after the kids. It feels wonderful. Though, always with a tinge of guilt

Isn't that just the weekend?! 😁

My dgs visiting and doesn't want to do anything or go anywhere. So we won't! Watching rubbish TV, and drinking tea while DP lays new decking down in the garden.

We all have days like that. Don't fight it!

We all need to take a break to recharge sometimes. Listen to your body not every day needs to be full of stuff.
I stayed in my PJs until 12 today (which I hardly ever do) because I thought ‘what’s the rush there’s no special plans today’. Nothing terrible happened and I felt a lot better for it!

Yup, and when that happens I give in to it. I say "Ok, you got me today, you can have it. But you're not having my tomorrow"

I'm on the sofa under a blanket watching my 4th X Files of the day.

I'm in my pjs with bad period pain. Not planning to leave the house today.

I’ve been up since 5:30

😊😇

For the amount I’ve got done so far I might as well still be in bed! 🤷🏻‍♀️

I frequently want to take a —year— day off from life...

Yup.

Didn't used to as felt it was lazy and selfish and wasteful, and didn't get chance to anyway.

Then started (can't remember why or how) and now if I feel the need I'll just do the bare minimum (usually looking after the dogs) and the rest of the time will be flobbed.

My job has been really intense lately with crazy workload. It gets to the weekend and I don't have the energy for anything.

Totally normal op! Don't give it another thought.

Unless of course you've abandoned the dc downstairs for a nap.

Seriously though, where I am today (North West) it's pissing down and depressing.
I've been out to get my nails done and for a few bits from the shops and I'm in, bra off, hair up and cleaning clothes on. I'm not doing any cleaning I'm going to have a nap.

You've inspired me to

I hear you.

I'm menopausal which normally I can deal with day to day but some days (today being one of them) i just want to scream and dance and throw a tantrum like a toddler. I am so not in the mood to deal with people!

I’ve had a busy summer, busy first week at work and enjoying catching up on bake off and tonight the bodyguard.

I've clearly been missing something all along, and didn't know it!

The thing is, my house is a tip & I feel like I should be tidying/cleaning/washing/ironing etc.

But after reading this thread, I don't feel so bad now!

for all of us.

Out of interest, what are your DCs upto, if you have DCs at home, and how old are they roughly?

You mean there's supposed to be another way to live??
disclaimer: am having a serious mid-life crisis

Another one with period pain and a massive case of can'tbearseditis. Children (all over 10) are all still in pyjamas doing whatever, and it's cold and drizzly outside. Fuck it! Enjoying lying on the bed with a cup of tea and the cat.

This is me today also, it's wet and cold outside. I've browsed Mumsnet, looked a holidays I'll never book, looked at Christmas decorations . Have moved out of bed to the sofa going to put Harry Potter or Doctor Who on I think and that is it! Could hoover, could clean the bathroom but it won't hurt to leave them another day.
