To ask what 5 things are you looking forward to doing today.

[Legallyblondeee]

It’s Friday and I’ve woke up from a piss poor sleep courtesy of dog sitting barky chihuahua! I have a 12 hour shift in store for me today but I’m in a bloody good mood! So indulge me. What 5 things are you looking forward to today? I am looking forward to.

1. My bacon and sausage sandwich for breakfast!
2. My 5k run to work!
3. There’s a new episode of my favourite podcast out.
4. Being able to have the time to catch up on my tv programmes tonight as I’ve not had chance to even switch it on this week!
5. Have a very very large GIN!

1. Seeing my mum - our plans earlier in the week had to be cancelled while I waited for our Covid test
2. Dressing my daughter in some of her lovely new winter clothes!
3. Doing the scarecrow trail in our village
4. Swimming with the small one
5. New episode of long way up tonight!

@Skigal86 My friend did a scarecrow trail in her village with her DD the other day it looked so cool! I was green with envy that we don’t have anything like that round here! I hope you enjoy it and the weather is kind to you.

1. lingering over morning coffee
2. going for a run later on
3. walking the dog (and playing with her)
4. chatting with DC after school about their day

Finding it difficult to come up with a 5th - this thread is great, I've got out of the habit of seeing all the positive things. And my life is fine, if a little repetitive in termtime

Got paid today so

1. Spending some money

Thats about it tbh.

I'm on annual leave today, heavily pregnant and ds is at nursery so I'm looking forward to

1. A peaceful breakfast in my pjs (dh did nursery run) - already had this.
2. Going for a nice swim
3. Watching a bit of tv
4. Collecting ds early from nursery and hearing all about his day
5. Driving to our caravan for the weekend

Staying in bed a bit longer, playing on MN! 😀
Doing a workout
Meeting a friend for dinner at a nice restaurant
Going shopping to buy friend a birthday gift

Having a slow start to the day.
Spending time with my kids
Washing my bedding
Having some wine tonight
Chilling with dh when he comes home from work.

When I opened the thread I didn’t think I had any but you have motivated me to be more positive and have a bacon sarnie!
1 bacon sandwich
2 team call at 12 - Friday ones are always funny and light and lots of banter
3 not having to go out and pick DH up from work as I don’t need the car today so he’s taken it
4 DS and I planning to watch a film together tonight
5 well, it’s Friday, that’s good enough for my 5th! I love finishing work on a Friday knowing the weekend is ahead.

Thanks @Legallyblondeee, what a nice way to start the day. Have a good one!

1. snuggling under my duvet. I've snuck 10 week old DD into her snuz pod (we usually co sleep)
2. having a slice of homemade carrot cake and a cup of tea
3. looking whistfully out into the back garden over the stable door as it rains
4. choosing a candle from the drawer to light
5. possibly a nice bath when DH is home tonight and can be the parent on call

Writing that has been really helpful

@dementedma
I got paid on Wednesday and DH quite kindly “lost my bank card” so I donned my FBI hat and tracked it down to our local onestop shop. Crisis averted!

Packing for a few days away on the coast
Meeting a friend for lunch
Movie night with ds while his grumpy teen siblings are elsewhere
Reading more of my book in bed later
Breakfast in my favourite cafe - I have to be in the office at the moment so I’m going to push the boat out and give them some support as they are on their knees at the moment

I'm on a trip to Brighton so looking forward to:

1. Eggs for breakfast
2. Swim in the hotel spa
3. Lunch out
4. Sitting by the sea
5. Wine later

1.hot buttered toast
2.coffee
3.meeting a friend

1. Reading new thriller novel I just started
2. Sticking a chilli in the slow cooker and that moment when I walk in the door later and remember dinner is all sorted.

Using my new breadmaker
Trying out a new recipe for dinner
Decluttering my spare room - again
Making salted caramel ice cream
Eating cake

I'll have to think about it, but just wanted to say it's great thread!

After being batted with rain and wind whilst walking the dog today's positives are
Changing into my PJs
Cuppa or 3 and toast covered in peanut butter
Binge watching The Last Kingdom
Loving the fact my dog won't want a second walk
My Dad had a very happy 89th birthday yesterday

Looking on the bright side. Life goes on in spite of CV.

1 Travelling in an off-peak and hopefully socially distanced train. Four seats to myself and a fully charged iPad.
2 Getting my car back after a week. I’ve had to be ingenious and have certainly used up calories.
3 Throwing loads of stuff away. We’ve moved house with just a suitcase each, having locked and left the previous one. Now the umbilical cord is severed I can deep clean the place.
4 Spending a night on my own (love my family but it’s been stressful).
5 Carefully choosing a boot-load of USEFUL stuff to take back. I have a list.

Pizza for lunch
Watching Mummy Diaries in peace with a coffee
Going to the village pub this evening after wrap around care pick up
Aldi cheeky monkey ice cream after dinner

Finishing work early after a 12 day stint.
Sorting through my wardrobe and binning the clothes that are too big and getting the smaller clothes out of the box they have been stored in for years.
Doing a HiiT workout.
Continue to crochet the blanket I am doing whilst listening to an audiobook.
Going to bed knowing I don't have to set the alarm for tomorrow.

Great thread, I didn't think I would be able to think of 5, but it's motivated me.

1. Getting the keys to our new house after a 16 week process!

2-5. all the associated fun stuff with moving into a new house :D

Loving all these! It’s easy to get down with day to day life at the moment so I’m taking little wins in life to keep me upbeat.

It's my day off today so my five things are;

1. Not logging on to my computer
2. Having lots of coffee
3. Doing yoga and a nice full meditation
4. Studying again
5. Making some art

It's all getting done in school hours so maybe a bit rushed but still bliss 😍

Only a half day of work today

See our horse with DD1

Get a debriefing from DD2 about her job (she is an archaeologist and her job is fascinating)

Veg out with DH this evening with telly, crisps and wine (how rock n roll we are!)

Can't think of a fifth, but those are pretty good.

1. Walking with a friend
2. Visiting my elderly parents
3. Buying a pizza for dinner tonight.
4. Going back to work tomorrow , my 'weekend' is Thurs/Fri but in the current situation there is so little to do that I actually prefer to be at work in a job I love and that keeps me busy and motivated
5. ....

Having a face time with my bff who love is Australia shortly
Meeting a friend for coffee who I’ve not seen in years
Seeing my mum this afternoon. She comes into the garden and sits in the corner (2m away) and chats with my dc
Getting the house tidy (Friday job. Love the end result)
Bed and book :/)
