Nothing on TV. All 3 males in my house are watching spiderman. I can't get warm in the house. I have a other 9 days off work.
What can I do?

Can you get under a blanket and read a book? Have a nice bath?

First world problems

katy1213 · 26/12/2020 20:38

Bridgerton.

lljkk · 26/12/2020 20:38

Lastfreakinglegs · 26/12/2020 20:39

Well yes it is a first world problem, but we're living in the first world.

Read, paint, puzzle, draw, nap, meditate, watch YouTube, Duolingo, workout (YouTube/dvd etc), yoga, organise all your new possessions from Xmas, have a bath ?

Give it a rest @CoronaIsWatching.

What would you normally do in your free time OP? Turn the heating, get a glass of wine and get a hot bath.

Lastfreakinglegs · 26/12/2020 20:41

It's exacerbated by the fact I'm staying in a house with someone I'm not getting on with. I can't go into outing details but it's making me uncomfortable and I think that's why I'm bored. I'm counting down the hours but don't want to wish my holiday away as work will be very full on once I'm back.

Yep, I'm bored and it's getting me down having nothing to look forward to.

Sort your wardrobe? / Something that will make life easier when you're back at work?

Poptart4 · 26/12/2020 20:49

Bored out of my mind. Alcohol isnt even helping right now.

Theres nothing to do and nothing to look forward too.

StoneofDestiny · 26/12/2020 20:52

OP - any chance of making your excuses to go back home early, then you can choose what to do, when and how.

FestiveStuffing · 26/12/2020 20:52

I'm watching all creatures great and small. If there's a channel five plus one I think it should've just started on there.

Lastfreakinglegs · 26/12/2020 20:55

@StoneofDestiny it's a bit of a complicated family situation but I'm desperately trying to think of a reason to get out gracefully. My kids would be really upset though. They love it here 🙄Hmm

Books definitely. Download the Kindle app to your phone if you don’t have any with you. I also while (wile?) away time doing old New York Times crosswords on their app.

Pukkatea · 26/12/2020 21:04

Oh god me too, I hate this time of year, so so so bloody boring.

NewIdeasToday · 26/12/2020 21:05

Bridgerton on Netflix. Fab escapism. Just what’s needed at the moment.

veeeeh · 26/12/2020 21:08

Watch Allie Sherlock on youtube. You might want to see ALL her vids. 4+million subs too!

She is a busker from Cork in Ireland, and plays along Grafton Street in Dublin. She is only fifteen years old and is an amazing singer. Passed many an hour for me!

Just a suggestion.

This is one of my favourites...

ProbablyFault · 26/12/2020 21:13

I'm bored and tipsy as well 🙈.

MrsMouse03 · 26/12/2020 21:22

I feel your pain. DS and DH have been watching football all day Confused I want to scream at the moment but just poured a glass of red and doing some online shopping for crap I don't need for essentials Grin

ProbablyFault · 26/12/2020 21:25

OP, can you drink wine?
