As in 24 hours where Covid never existed. How would you use yours?

Festival!!

CoffeeRequiredNow · 27/12/2020 22:34

I would do what I had planned to do last March - drop the kids at my sister's for a sleepover and go to a 5 star hotel for my birthday with my DH for some (VERY rare) child-free time. Enjoy a lovely dinner, spend the day chilling in the spa and reconnecting with DH. Cannot wait to be able to do this!

Bar and theatre with bestie.

Imagine no masks!

HermannlovesPauline · 27/12/2020 22:35

This is such a bittersweet thread. How the fuck did we get here Sad

FuckOffBorisYouTwat · 27/12/2020 22:35

Breakfast and hugs with my parents flowed by a hedonistic day and night at Glastonbury with all my friends

Matilda15 · 27/12/2020 22:35

I’d have all our family and friends over to meet our baby. She was born in November and even her grandparents haven’t had the chance to get to know her yet.

DobbyTheHouseElk · 27/12/2020 22:36

Hug my parents, and have a family lunch.

AndAllOurYesterdays · 27/12/2020 22:39

Give my 5 year old the party she missed out on when we went into lockdown. It's only three months until her birthday so doesn't look like she will be getting one this year either.

IceCreamAndCandyfloss · 27/12/2020 22:39

Shopping, lunch out then friends over for evening food. Can’t remember the last time we ate something someone else had cooked.

rookiemere · 27/12/2020 22:40

Drive up super early with DH and DS to drive the one hour to see my DPs, then drive 4 hrs down to see SIL and extended family and have the Christmas day we had planned, but didn't get to have. Based on current restrictions we would need to drive back to get back into Scotland before midnight but I'd enjoy the car journeys and stop off at motorway services to eat something inside.

Honestadviceneeded · 27/12/2020 22:42

@HermannlovesPauline totally agree.
It still doesn’t feel like this is real sometimes and then my heart sinks as the realisation kicks in.

Holothane · 27/12/2020 22:42

Day with in-laws and shopping in there as well and a meal out with them.

Honestadviceneeded · 27/12/2020 22:43

I’d meet my best friends and hug them. Go out for food and drinks as a huge group and go to the cinema.

Marmite27 · 27/12/2020 22:43

Cinema, bowling, lunch out and soft play with my mum and the kids.

GlowingOrb · 27/12/2020 22:45

A multi course meal in a restaurant. We used to dine out a couple of times a week. We haven’t eaten in a restaurant since March.

Nacreous · 27/12/2020 22:46

Get up, morning swim, then brunch or lunch out somewhere nice. Matinée in the afternoon maybe and then friends over for board games and dinner.

Really ready for Covid to bugger off now! Holding into hope that we'll be in a different position by the summer.

StanfordPines · 27/12/2020 22:49

Can we also assume that calories and having to get up the next day also don’t exist?

In which case I’d like to have lunch in my favourite lunch place and then dinner in my favourite dinner restaurant with my friends.

Lovely1a2b3c · 27/12/2020 22:51

My life now is really not much different to my life pre-covid.

I would like to get rid of my chronic illness, more than I'd like a personal no-covid day.

AlrightTreacle · 27/12/2020 22:52

I'd go and stay with my dad for the day, go to the cinema in the morning (he loves the cinema), then for a pub lunch with my best friend and her family, then back to my dad's to just sit in the sofa next to each other and watch TV and chat.

Enrosadira · 27/12/2020 22:55

Skiing

arethereanyleftatall · 27/12/2020 22:55

Just go and do normal stuff but without worrying.
Chat to my friends without being conscious of the gap, take a swig of someone else's cocktail at lunch, share a dessert, definitely go to a show.

Tootletum · 27/12/2020 22:55

Climbing in Spain. See in laws. Cinema. Massive party with hundreds of sweaty people. Find an armpit to stand under in the tube. Theatre. Get on a rammed rush hour train and sit by the toilets.

Sevensilverrings · 27/12/2020 22:56

Go out for day with DH, shopping and lunch then cinema, maybe squeeze an hour in the spa, pick little ones up from school and hang around in the sun playing with other families and friends.
In the evening (because this isn’t real, and I’m going to damn well make this day last), go to see Hamilton (had tickets, cancelled) with my teen DS, eating out in west end first, and going for walk through London after.

SamsMumsCateracts · 27/12/2020 22:56

We'd take the kids back to the zoo with their cousins, then go for a big family meal in a restaurant afterwards.

Pieceofpurplesky · 27/12/2020 22:56

Cinema with DS then pub tea with parents and DS, followed by cocktails with friends.

Or spend the day with DS and my beautiful goddaughter
