I'm so bored.

[Lastfreakinglegs]

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?

I’m also bored. Not back at work until 4th and really don’t want to waste my time off but there is nothing to do

Don't know why, and it might sound ridiculous on this thread, but I am rarely bored. You don't need to be splitting the next atom or writing a book, or acheiving anything right now, just enjoy crap that you wouldn't normally watch or do and be lazy.

All the best everyone.

Bored too after shielding for most of the year... Just put "Dunkirk" on cos it's one of the few things I've not seen before. Obv not cheery, but then neither am I!!

Totally bored here too. Can't even get out (Storm Bella; flooding all around us). DS has even admitted he is bored with the Playstation. It feels like we should be doing something more useful with our time - just really don't know what!

@ProbablyFault

OP, can you drink wine?

Good question lol.

Did you get any nice toiletries or bath stuff for Christmas? Can you take yourself off to the bathroom for a bit if pampering? Do your nails, face pack? Even if you don't have anything special can you do something just for you - try a yoga practice or meditation from YouTube, then get into bed with a warm drink and a book or magazine.

Get yourself on RightMove. Choose an area you'd really, really love to live in. Give yourself a generous budget, (I usually go for around £2m). Then have a nose at all the gorgeous property porn.

@WoooooGhoulsDoAFlit that's an idea 😂

Do you draw by any chance? I find that quite absorbing.

When I feel stuck basically when everyone is taking over and I’m bored !
I’ll go back to bed with a good book 📖
Or I’ll go somewhere quiet in the house and enjoy the peace !!
And take snacks 😂

Podcast? I recommend Adam Buxton or Louis Theroux.

You have my sympathy OP. Struggling to do much else other than work on my laptop and surf the net on my phone. I often like to go down a YouTube rabbit hole of old tv programmes or adverts to reminisce of easier times.

Plan your exit and daydream about the life you want for hours on end, imagine scenarios of what your new life will be like. I've recently got back in to daydreaming (no devices) and its ignited my will and imagination no end

Love the idea of a daydream or a property search And wine

I was planning to assuage boredom with working towards a January deadline.

But Bridgerton got me too. Since this afternoon. On Ep 8 now.

Try it, OP - admittedly ridiculous but very pretty and stupidly absorbing.

Netflix is your friend, particularly foreign stuff, then you have to concentrate to follow the subtitles. That’s what got me through the first lockdown.
