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

Can I just let people know that cinemas are very covid safe and encourage everyone to go. We've been to the cinema 3 or 4 times since March. Each time, there has been literally no more than 6 other people in the entire cinema. I find this both sad and inexplicable. Why do people think that the cinema is so unsafe? My 15 year old son volunteers in out local community cinema and that's fared a little better but still needs to be busier. One day, hopefully quite soon we will be virus free but if people don't start supporting the Covid safe cinemas now there will be none left to go to

I already have it planned. My Gran who’s 93 but incredibly physically and mentally fit for her her age. She has always caught the bus to our nearby big town to shop but she has been isolating since March. I’ve had the vaccine and she desperate for it, hoping to get it within the next few weeks. Once she has we’re off shopping, to her favourites like Primark, M&S and fish and chips for dinner! We can’t bloody wait!

CherryPieface · 27/12/2020 23:40

See my parents then go for a few drinks. We’ve had no access to pubs since August.

Fennelandlovage · 27/12/2020 23:48

Massive garden party with friends, family and all the kids. Lots of hugs and drinks and fun with loved ones.

Serin · 27/12/2020 23:52

If it was a work day, i'd go round the ward and hug all the patients, and then all my colleagues.

If I was off work, I would go and hug my mum (86) then catch the train to London for brunch with DD at The Grosvener. Then shopping in the new year sales, then the theatre and a stay over in a nice hotel with a view of the river.

mrshonda · 27/12/2020 23:53

Go out for lunch to my favourite cafe, and hug all my family and friends.

ABigFatCrow · 27/12/2020 23:57

I'd take my boys to swimming and gymnastics, go out for lunch together, visit my parents for a chat and cup of tea, leave the boys at granny's for an overnight, go out for dinner and mojitos with oh and meet friends after to go to a music bar and then casino and then have breakfast in the casino.

CoffeethenCrochet · 27/12/2020 23:58

Latte at my favourite independent coffee shop with an almond croissant and magazine, then a trip to the garden centre for a mooch and spend lots of money on plants. Then lunch out with DH. We'd then visit his parents, I'd hug my lovely mother in law for longer than I did in February when I had no idea it would be the last time I would see her for nearly a year Sad can you tell I've thought about this very scenario, shielding for 9 months gives you plenty of time to plan for non covid times Grin

Lindy2 · 28/12/2020 00:02

Lots of hugging of family. I'd have everyone over for a big buffet lunch and then, when they'd all gone home again I'd go to the theatre or cinema and have a relaxed drink in a bar and a leisurely wander around some non essential shops.

NoSquirrels · 28/12/2020 00:05

24 hours?

Christmas Eve 4pm to Christmas Day 4pm. With my mum and all the family. Just that.

Can’t ever happen again, and it’s just - there’s no words really.

Failing that (if magical time travel back in time to before people die is not allowed) then 24 hours somewhere sunny and exotic, again with all my family - we’ll raise a toast to Mum and walk on the beach and be thankful despite missing her.

I would go in a second but all closed and have been for months. In the month or so they were open in the summer I also saw about 3 or 4 films and felt safe.
Sparklesocks · 28/12/2020 00:07

Squeezing in seeing as many close friends and family as possible - getting in as many hugs as possible!

Finishing with a cup of tea curled up on my mum’s sofa having a catch up. Sounds simple but it’s been so long!

rosegoldivy · 28/12/2020 00:07

First off i would take DD 18months to soft play, then would have a huge family BBQ, DH would take DD home, I would go meet ALL my friends in town, go to the pub, get shit faced drunk, go to a club and DANCE like an idiot and then spill out onto the street getting a kebab and bundling home.

although currently pregnant so this covid free day will have to please wait until June.

JustAnotherUserinParadise · 28/12/2020 00:23

Just hug my parents I think!
Then have a choir rehearsal

HeyBaby2020 · 28/12/2020 00:30

Those days are coming soon! We will be able to do this next year 🙌🏼

littledrummergirl · 28/12/2020 00:41

Go and visit my nan. I haven't seen her in a year.

Aria999 · 28/12/2020 00:52

Depends, am I allowed to teleport across the Atlantic to see my family?

MrsDoctorDear · 28/12/2020 00:54

Can't wait for a night out with DH. Lovely meal in a restaurant mask free, lots of wine. Then overnight in a lovely hotel.

We are in Tier 2 so it's doable. But I wouldn't enjoy it. I just want to relax and never think of Covid or masks.

Realllythough · 28/12/2020 01:02

I'd go to a live music show consisting of my favourite bands and sing my heart out, or a live comedy show. I'd hug all of my loved ones. I'd eat in a fancy restaurant without worrying.

And I'd relish the opportunity to not use the yucky, sticky hand sanitizer that dominates my life 😂

NellyTimes · 28/12/2020 01:05

Take the kids out for breakfast, then to the cinema and swimming. Watch my football team play in a packed stadium in the afternoon then out in the evening for drinks and a meal with my best friends and back to one of our houses to carry on drinking and dancing.

ConfusedcomMum · 28/12/2020 01:08

See my parents & grandparents.

fucksanta1 · 28/12/2020 01:10

See all our friends, go to the cinema with my son, go to the pottery cage with my daughter with SEN as she loves it there. Then pub quiz with friends at the pub

jenkel · 28/12/2020 01:17

I’d go to some Maldivian island with my entire family, swim in the sea, eat good food and spend time with my parents, parents in laws, sil, niece, husband and kids

olderthanyouthink · 28/12/2020 01:19

I'd got see my grandma in law, we all would I think because she's the one person we've not seen at all in person and desperately miss. She's barely seen her granddaughters who are just 1 & 2

poppingpotatoes · 28/12/2020 01:43

I'd go to the supermarket and browse for whatever I fancied.
