To have done fuck all today

Dc at their dads this weekend. I had a few glasses of wine last night. I've woken up and done nothing except read and lounge about all day. I was planning on doing some baking and gardening but it's 3:40pm and I haven't even showered or dressed yet. I feel quite disgusted with myself.

Who else is being a lazy pig today?

Me too, but I have been working ft without a break since January and on my days off doing all the half finished building work in the house and garden. I am in my PJs drinking tea and eating chocolate without feeling the least bit guilty.

HollyBollyBooBoo · 23/05/2020 16:15

Isn't it lovely to be able to do it once in a while though? DD and I have said we're definitely making a point of having a chill out day every now and then when life goes back to normal.

endofthelinefinally · 23/05/2020 16:16

Me too. I was doing well until a couple of weeks ago, then I had an acute flair up of my condition and I have been in pain and can hardly walk. Painkillers have upset my stomach so I am on the sofa with MN and Netflix.
Fed up.
We are having take away tonight.

Mrsjayy · 23/05/2020 16:18

I did put clothes on today as I do feel better dressed apart from that lazy arsed Saturday s are the best.

Toothsil · 23/05/2020 16:20

Me! I had a bad sleep (again!), woke at 9 with a banging head. Nobody else was awake so I got up, had a pee, took some painkillers and had a glass of water, fed the cat and went back to bed. DH woke me at 10 but my head was still sore and I was finally sleeping properly so I dozed off again till 10.30. Felt a bit better so got up, had a coffee, sat in my chair. Went to see if DD was awake, she was, but was happy in her room. I didn't have my shower till midday and my head was thumping again so I got dressed into clean underwear, a t-shirt, hoodie and clean pj bottoms and sat in my chair again. Took more painkillers at 1, didn't have lunch till 2. Now I feel better I didn't feel right in my pj bottoms so I've put my jeans on and we're considering a walk but it's very windy so maybe not! DH has suggested nipping to M&S for a lasagne or pasta bake to just stick in the oven and I like that idea. We need bread and milk anyway so it can all be done in one shop. All I've achieved today is folding the washing and putting a load into the dryer and wiped the kitchen down. That's it!

aliceinsunderland44 · 23/05/2020 16:21

Throughout this I've tried to at least achieve something on my days off even if it's just a load of washing or a walk but today there's been zilch. I think I felt disgusted because I was still stinking in my pjs with greasy hair and unbrushed teeth but I'm pleased to report I've had a bath and used some nice pamper products and feel a lot better now!

We are having takeaway tonight too...Grin

Me too!!! It is pouring with rain here so lit fire and watched Lord of the Rings with Ds.

Lockdownlife · 23/05/2020 16:30

Same! Got up and did my washing. Got showered and washed my hair then put on fresh PJ's. Brought my pillow and blankets through to the sofa and haven't moved. Finger biscuits, TV and games. About to pour a drink since it's Saturday. I never have days quite as lazy as this so it's been amazing.

lowlandLucky · 23/05/2020 16:32

Good on you, sometime it just has to be done.

Lynda07 · 23/05/2020 16:33

Me! Apart from eating, posting, watching some Netflix and TV, I've done nothing. I am, however, planning the reinvention of 'me' when I emerge from self isolation. That's quite exciting :-).

DrDavidBanner · 23/05/2020 16:36

Sounds like you're having a fantastic day Alice.

Admittedly I did shower and brush my hair today and put a load in the washer, but I've spent the rest of the day drinking tea, mumsnetting and listening to podcasts. Bliss Smile

rosie1959 · 23/05/2020 16:37

I have also done nothing cant be bothered totally fed up of this now probably made worse as we should be going on holiday tomorrow
How anyone can enjoy this existence is beyond me

MozzchopsThirty · 23/05/2020 16:39

Me!!!!

I have a massive hangover 🤮

I've eaten loads of crap, didn't get up until 1 and have just been lying on the sofa since 😊

Mrsjayy · 23/05/2020 16:43

Ah @rosie1959 that's rubbish we missed a holiday at Easter and it sucks

MythicalBiologicalFennel · 23/05/2020 16:45

Meh enjoy OP.

I have got dressed and done some laundry but I have spent most of the day so far reading fan fiction and loving it Smile

rosie1959 · 23/05/2020 16:46

Mrsjayy it is a shame we were taking our grown up children and our grandchildren to a hotel We did it last year and had a wonderful time It was their Christmas present from us

justtb · 23/05/2020 16:47

I don't think anyone can top me.. it's my first day off since being back to work.. I went to bed at like 10.. woke up at 9 and then fell asleep until 3 after my partner went to work at 11... OOPS 🙈🙈

mumsiedarlingrevolta · 23/05/2020 16:48

The washing got rained on I know not as bad as darked on

The wind blew over lovely pot and smashed it

Dishwasher packed up

I took a nap

Sodamncold · 23/05/2020 16:50

Mine also left for dad’s

If planned a lazy day but it’s just not in my character... so half hour in.... I decided to do an online cardio yoga class, then stripped all the bedding, two washes, grocery shop and some admin. Only now am I thinking about kicking back and relaxing.

Mrsjayy · 23/05/2020 16:50

Rosie we were doing something similar with our grown up kids also a Christmas present. Hopefully we can do it again soon

ladykuga · 23/05/2020 16:50

That sounds like a dream day to me. Keep calm and carry on.

ScrimpshawTheSecond · 23/05/2020 16:51

Oink.

I'm utterly knackered from weeks of stress, I think. Taking a day off and being a total pig. YANBU.

InMySpareTime · 23/05/2020 16:51

I have ME and am crashing hard.
I have done nothing at all today. Despite waking up at 4.30am, I am still in my jammies from Thursday night
I watched 2 films today but could not tell you the plot of either.

BrieAndChilli · 23/05/2020 16:52

Me!

Me and DH stayed up til 2am watching Tropic Thunder last night so slept in. Then sat on the sofa, then went up and lay down on the bed, had a shower, then sat on the sofa again!!
Kids have been on electronics or the trampoline although they are now sorting out a quiz for our family zoom quiz tonight.
I have put 1 load of washing on and started sorting food (quesadillas) for later.

I’m just having a mental break as crisis schooling 3 kids all week of different ages, different attitudes to learning and different apititudes is so draining!

YeahWhatevver · 23/05/2020 16:52

I've slept on the sofa for half the afternoon because I couldn't be bothered doing anything else.

Feeling like the demotivation/fed up/melancholic feeling is getting a bit more serious. Sad
