I have worked today 9.15 until 4pm. DS is being picked up and going on a sleepover to my Mum's.

Do I:

A) Go home, have a sleep til about 630. Then go swimming 8-8.45.
or
B) Go home, sleep and stay at home and give the swimming a miss.

I don't usually work Fridays - I scaled my days from 5 to 4 due to having ME. Today is a rare overtime.

I want to go swimming but also, 8pm... i could be glass of vino in hand by then watching telly. And who wants to go back out once they have taken their bra off afterall?!

YABU - Go swimming
YANBU - Stay home.

Maybe go from work straight to swimming. But definitely go swimming. Did you ever come out of the pool and think 'well, I wish I hadn't done that', I'm guessing not. Go swimming and have your glass of vino at 9pm feeling virtuous.

It's a swimming lesson so I can't go straight from work unfortunately.

I think maybe you are right. I do enjoy the swimming. And coming out of the shower after swimming into fresh clothes.

Is your leg ok now?

Go swimming. You will feel fantastic after and it will set you up for the weekend and make your weekend feel longer as you've made the most of your Friday night

@PurpleDaisies Still sore and numbish. No results yet from the nerve tests.

Find a mate, have an evening out?

I would worry a bit about going while your leg is still numb and you don’t have a reason. Did your doctor give you any advice regarding exercise?

cjt110 · 31/01/2020 15:39

No no advice regarding exercise.

I never take off my bra until i go to bed

I would always go swimming if it was humanly possible.
You can always have your wine afterwards.

Genuinely thought this was a Brexit thread and you were tempted to swim the Channel to get away from it....

I vote home and tv/wine/takeaway/early night.

Must be difficult taking a shower?

CountFosco · 31/01/2020 23:27

Shower in the morning before getting dressed obv.

Did you go swimming?

cjt110 · 01/02/2020 07:25
