Let's be honest here. We all let ourselves go a little bit feral when left to our own devices, don't we?

I'm partial to having one-sided debates with the dogs over any random topics that come to mind (sounds less crazy than talking to myself IMO! Grin ). Also been known to slide around the floor in my socks after a good mop pretending I'm Michael Jackson, Hee-Hee's included.

LOTS of dancing.

really a lot

Also weird stretching and lying around on the floor in odd places like under the eaves in the attic with my legs over my head.

I am not especially athletic so don't be imagining this is good dancing.

Not a weird thing as such but it dawned on me recently how disgraceful my table manners are when I'm alone. For example trying to eat food items that should ideally be cut into small pieces. Its like I'm in a zoo Confused

I have a mirror on a cabinet opposite my loo. When I'm on the loo I can see myself from my jawline up, so I do Serious Modelling Faces.

BathshebaAndGabriel · 04/06/2020 22:50

I cannot remember as I feel like I haven’t been home alone for about 87 weeks...

BooFuckingHoo2 · 04/06/2020 22:52

Fart with gay abandon as loudly as possible

RedPandaMama · 04/06/2020 22:56

I put karaoke songs on YouTube and sing my little heart out Grin even close my eyes and pretend I'm on stage.

I can't sing.

Noworrieshere · 04/06/2020 23:01

I'm not home alone, but everyone else is asleep.
I've just melted some baking chocolate in the microwave, added a massive handful of white chocolate coco pops, stirred them together and eaten the whole lot with a teaspoon. I would never have done that if anyone was around.

Listen to John Denver Blush

OscarWildesCat · 04/06/2020 23:06

Drink like I’m an 18 year old boy, glug back a huge glass of wine in one go and cheers myself into the air for being sooooo big and clever. Eat like a pig.

OwlinaTree · 04/06/2020 23:08

Talk to myself. A lot.

Put songs on and sing really loudly.

Lie on the sofa and luxuriate in the silence.

Wewearpinkonwednesdays · 04/06/2020 23:12

Usually just sit in complete silence that's very weird for this house.

BestDaysAheadOfMe · 04/06/2020 23:13

A few weeks ago i had few too many glasses of wine and woke up to the fact i signed up to a premium membership on a dating site. They have charged me ~£400 for 2 years worth of subscriptions... i thank my lucky starts they had a 14 day cooling off period and i managed to cancel it...
Just for the record, me and dh are talking amicable divorce after 10 year relationship and 2 kids. I’m feeling down a little.

Lorddenning1 · 04/06/2020 23:13

I put on Mariah Carey, can't live, and sing it in my kitchen at full volume with my wooden spoon as a microphone, I pretend I'm on stage singing it and even use the arm motions as if I'm performing, I feel sorry for my neighbours 😬

Craftycorvid · 04/06/2020 23:16

Nods wisely to NoWorries. Have been known to microwave vanilla ice cream because vanilla ice cream is custard when hot. This is a thing no one in real life must know.....

LesLavandes · 04/06/2020 23:17

A lot of lounging on my bed, dancing round the living room to try to get my fitbit steps up, putting washing machine on at 3 am when I can't sleep, stare at my unopened pile of post. Am turning into a looney

PickAChew · 04/06/2020 23:18

I've forgotten.

Wobblysausage · 04/06/2020 23:18

I listen to music and dance like a stripper.

I do imaginary YouTube videos. I argue with people who I can’t argue with in real life and I also get interviewed a lot. I’m a nutter 😅

Doyouavocado · 04/06/2020 23:19

Walk up the stairs on all fours without realising sometimes

OhMyGoodLord · 04/06/2020 23:20

I put loads of makeup on, including highlighter, lashes and hairstyle, and narrate whilst I am doing it, pretending that I'm a YouTube make up guru 🤣

I'm not recording it 😂😂

AMileInMyShoes · 04/06/2020 23:21

@Noworrieshere

Could so eat that right now....

Samtsirch · 04/06/2020 23:21

I have a secret hidden in plain sight in my house and I just acknowledge it with gay abandon when I have the house to myself, a bit of a one sided conversation I suppose, but it makes me happy 😃

MyDarlingWhatIfYouFly · 04/06/2020 23:22

Bluetooth microphone and I sing. I pity the neighbours, they must think I'm mental.

AMileInMyShoes · 04/06/2020 23:22

I talk to the cat....

Today i was telling her about how rainy it was outside... To be fair, she's more like a dog, She follows me everywhere....

CyberNan · 04/06/2020 23:22

I browse mumsnet...

HollysBush · 04/06/2020 23:23

😂 Doyouavocado I do this too! And eat Nutella out of the jar with a spoon.
