I just thought it’d be nice to ask what we’re all looking forward to. I’m trying my best to cheer myself up. Christmas is on its way so that’s what I’m concentrating on for now. What other things are we all looking forward to? Smile

[quote Mindymomo]@shitinmyhandsandclap. I wish you well with that and hope you find the courage to leave. I do believe that a lot of people have evaluated their lives this year and are looking for change.[/quote]
Thank you and I will, I've been stuck in this loveless relationship for years and I'm done, I can't spend the rest of my life being ignored, being sex free, being a cleaner, cook and fuck all else

Hopefully going away to an AirBnB in the Cotswolds for a few nights this weekend

Decorating the house for Christmas. DP has said he wants us to go all out on decorations this year Grin

Choosing Christmas presents

Christmas at Kew

Being able to spend cozy Sundays at home and having an excuse to not have to socialise or visit other people Blush

millymoo1202 · 19/10/2020 18:15

I’m going away this week with kids, first time since I’ve separated, bit nervous but looking forward to the break. Not going that far but somewhere we’ve never been

OurChristmasMiracle · 19/10/2020 18:16

Having my nails done on Friday night and eyelashes on Saturday morning 😊

Also tomorrow is pay day so I always treat myself to a nice lunch.

Theladyinpurple · 19/10/2020 18:17

Moving house in December (hopefully!) & Christmas 😁

Feellikedancingyeah · 19/10/2020 18:19

Ds living independently when he is 18 . I'm worn out. Only 4 years to go .......

hennybeans · 19/10/2020 18:20

I'm looking forward to the US election, my home country. I feel quite positive that trump will lose and I hope that that with a sensible president come January, the US will handle covid better. I want a trip back next summer if possible. It will be 2.5 years since we've seen my family then.

Floralnomad · 19/10/2020 18:23

Going to a NT garden tomorrow that we’ve not been to before

ToastyCrumpet · 19/10/2020 18:24

Nothing much. Next year is going to be absolutely fucking grim.

Pollynextdoor · 19/10/2020 18:25

The new series with Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant starting Monday. Small pleasuresGrin

HeretoThereandBackAgain · 19/10/2020 18:25

Looking forward to seeing family and friends eventually. Was supposed to be at Christmas, now hoping for June.

I’ve decided to go a bit mad with the Christmas decorations this year, even if it’s only going to be the two of us. If NASA identify a new, brightly lit object from space, it might just be my house!

wonderstuff · 19/10/2020 18:28

When all this is over I'm looking forward to drinking cocktails on a beautiful sandy beach.

Struggling a bit at the moment but Christmas should be nice, we'll get lovely food and wine in do some baking.

Hopefully a friend I've not seen in a year is coming down next week, will have to kick dh out to comply with rule of 6.

Emma10702 · 19/10/2020 18:29

Getting through winter & hopefully better management of the pandemic. Be nice to have a bit more freedom and normality.
I am looking forward to Xmas though. Will just hunker down with lots of nice treats and books. The reality is I will spend most of the time stopping the kids squabbling 😂

BritWifeinUSA · 19/10/2020 18:43

Being able to see my mum again one day. I don’t know when it will be but I am looking forward to it.

TheDogsMother · 19/10/2020 18:54

My wedding, next week. Fingers crossed it happens this time.

Lazysundayafternoons · 19/10/2020 18:58

I love Christmas as it's the only time of the year that me and dp are off work and get to spend time with the kids.

But I'm most looking forward to getting towards the end of a piece of work I am doing which is being audited. It's a horrible feeling that people are looking for mistakes in my work all day every day. It will be over in November.

Junkmail · 19/10/2020 18:59

I have a very heavy week ahead so honestly I’m just looking forward to Friday evening—pizza and a movie with my husband. Sounds boring but I can’t wait

Yippeeforme · 19/10/2020 19:00

I'm looking forward to moving house, hopefully early December! I'm excited about decorating and furnishing the place, and learning to grow veggies in the huge garden.

Nottherealslimshady · 19/10/2020 19:04

My 12 week scan next tuesday. We saw babys heartbeat at 8 weeks but I feel so anxious not knowing what's happening in there. I cant wait to see my strong baby and know they're ok.

Winning the lottery and buying a new house. Then I'll rent this one to the chavviest family I can find so my neighbours can find out what bad neighbours are really like.

LavaCake · 19/10/2020 19:08

The birth of my first baby in December ❤️❤️❤️

Greenhairbrush · 19/10/2020 19:11

Like @babygroups I’m looking forward to becoming a mum of 2 in 5 weeks. Daunted but excited.
Christmas! However it may be celebrated. And having some big house renovations started in the new year.

HoldingForGeneralHugs · 19/10/2020 19:12
