To ask what bloody weird things you do when home alone?

[ChaoticGouda]

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! ). Also been known to slide around the floor in my socks after a good mop pretending I'm Michael Jackson, Hee-Hee's included.

So glad I’m not the only dodgy dancer when on my own!

There was talk of both teens going out together (for a run) today and I would have been home alone for the first time since February. It didn’t happen in the end but I felt a little excited at the prospect.

Usually I do the stuff I don’t do when they’re here, watch a weeks worth of soaps back to back, don’t bother with proper meals and eat junk instead, have naps. I had one day when I wore a towel all day, watched The Proposal twice and had toast and maltesers for my tea. Them were the days...

I talk at the TV, so, if I'm watching a soap and something ridiculous happens, I'll be... "Yeah, cuz that would happen... You honestly expect us all to belive that, please, as if that would happen.." then I'll tell the TV how the ending could have been better, or what the character should have said instead or whatever.... I think I may be going crazy. 🤦‍♀️

Say out loud what ever pops into my thoughts when I'm watching TV - "I love that hoover" "man she's huge" "I'd hate to eat cat food" lol.

Eat like a pig.

Sit without a bra on.

Pull stupid faces.

I sing too! Order pizza and watch romantic films on the sofa with wine

Read aloud, do the different characters and all.

Been PMSL for the last ten minute reading what you all get up to, keep it coming!

@wateroffaduckscrack That's what gets me through my housework every weekend!

I can't remember. It was another life.

@whatnext2018 90’s piano you say....

I put it to you that DJ Luna-C’s “Piano Progression” is the finest track of all 90’s house piano tracks. What do you say?!

Pretend I’m dead to see my dogs reaction. Result. Dog uninterested and slinks off to his bed. Lots of salsa dancing. Doing the walk down stairs thing behind the kitchen island.

Yes! I pretend I'm dead to see my dog's reaction too! Sometimes it's a quiet death, sometimes it's more hysterical. But always the dog couldn't care less! And sometimes I have sustained my own death for several minutes!

Then I feel quite miffed about it. But then I tell myself that he's actually just an incredibly smart dog and can see through my acting, but if it was ever for real he would know it was for real and not me acting and then he would be like Lassie and have the ambulance there within minutes.

DISCO!!!

@suggestionsplease1Just as well your dog's good at telling when you're having him on, sometimes dogs can decide to have a bit of a munch on you instead of going for help

@VioletNoRegard sorry you are incorrect. Piano mans “Blurred” is the best ever piano house track

I also do the YouTube karaokes. There are entire sections of YouTube that is all karaokes. Sometimes I do it so passionately that it makes me emotional at how beautiful I sound and then I look in the mirror to see my emotionally stricken face.

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.

Me and DH love to do this! We used to kid ourselves we were making a batch of rice crispie cakes, now we just divide the lot between 2 bowls and crack on with spoons!

LOTS of dancing and singing...

Beyonce
Tay-Tay
Katy Perry
Marilyn Monroe's ""Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend..."
Britney Spears.. "Work, Bitch" (hangs head...)
Billy Joel
Elton John
Any musicals I can get my hands on...
"The hiiils are alllive..."

However, discovering moves I hadn't remembered since I was in dance classes at ten...

My kids are convinced I've gone round the bend.

Pretend I’m dead to see my dogs reaction. Result. Dog uninterested and slinks off to his bed

My cat would probably be a lot more interested...
Meat = treat!

Oh, and "Singin' in the Rain..."? With my DD's small pink umbrella...
Already saving up for kids' therapy...

I'm rarely alone ATM but when I am, I pronk like a goat for a good ten minutes

Then I can finally settle to doing something creative that requires quiet and concentration and "getting in to the zone" .. bliss ... .

Sometimes though if I am cooking or doing chores, I entertain myself my pretending I'm giving the eulogy at a funeral.

I pull silly faces in the mirror, have full on conversations with the cat, though tbf I do that daily even in front of my children-cant help myself. Acgross one is I eat with my mouth open-feels weirdly liberating.

This thread is very comforting. It’s reassuring to discover that I’m not the only one who goes upstairs on all fours and has a small mountain of unopened post. I have to make a conscious effort to do the stairs properly when DP is here, by the time he’s allowed to come again the relevant muscles will probably have wasted away completely.

I burst into song all the time. Real songs, fake songs... Doesn't matter 🤷

Eat Nutella out of the jar with a spoon and sit around in my undies watching anything mindless on TV.

Ah you lot are hilarious... half these things describe normal life in this house! No need for being alone! 😂
