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

To visit a close relative's grave who died during the pandemic, to place flowers on it.
It's in another jurisdiction so unnecessary travel isn't allowed.

Thank you.

Go to see dgc and jug them and dd so hard. I can see them outdoors and watch them ride their bikes but not get near to them. I can't wait for the summer and a holiday.

In normal times, every couple of months, I get together with my close friends. We live all over the south east and London, so we're not local to each other. We would meet in central London for dinner, or a picnic, or go round to one of our houses for lunch or dinner. I loved seeing them and their families.

When we all get together, there's 15 to 20 of us (if kids are there too) so there has been no chance of a big group meet up.

We last did that in dec 19.

I'd love to meet up with them en masse again.

One of the things I have missed most is hearing DD (14) and her best friend in absolute hysterics. They've been friends since reception and all I hear is giggling when DDs friend comes over.

Sarahandduck18 · 28/12/2020 12:42

Big party.

OverTheRainbow88 · 28/12/2020 12:47

Spa day with my mum and sister! Then a dinner out with cocktails.

1990shopefulftm · 28/12/2020 12:49

Take DS to meet all our friends and the large amount of family he hasn't met yet

Spongebobsquarefringe · 28/12/2020 12:50

Park run, nails done, cinema with the family, shopping, then meal out.

Wouldn’t mind a live concert if I could squeeze it in.

@rosesinmygarden YES to bra fittings! Had a baby during this pandemic and trying to get bras that fit has been a nightmare!

@grey12 I know Sad it's so lovely to hear everyone's ideas but so sad too that it's not been possible for so long. Thanks to all those who have lost or are desperately missing loved ones.

See all my brothers and sisters and their families at my parents house. I've not seen most of them since March. I know this is something my parents long for. They are vulnerable due to age and several of my siblings work with covid patients so although they live close by they haven't been in my parents house even when it was allowed.

OverTheRainbow88 · 28/12/2020 13:20

Ooh yes maybe I would see all my Family over a spa day! Ooops

TigerDroveAgain · 28/12/2020 13:31

Go swimming, have a coffee then pick up DS and drive over to our friend’s house to take them to a football match. Unhealthy lunch in a packed and grotty pub then into a football ground heaving with fans, everyone hugging when the last minute winner is scored. Home for a quick drink in our packed and noisy local then over to another pal’s for dinner. Perfect day.

zigaziga · 28/12/2020 13:35

If it was just one day then probably something like soft play to burn of the excess energy or going for brunch. During the brief period of Tier 2 in early December we did this anyway, but I’d love to do without masks.
If you could stretch a few extra days I want a holiday or to visit family that are a long drive away.
I won’t go abroad until no masks on the plane so that might be out for a year... maybe even more.

Megan2018 · 28/12/2020 13:37

Pub meal with family and then DD being cuddled and played with by her grandparents

yetanothernamitynamechange · 28/12/2020 13:51

Fly home and embark on a hugging tour of the UK. There would be soooo much hugging. I would also take my son and if we could fit in a visit to the soft play near my mums house we would do that and he and his cousins could charge around licking things while the grown ups drank horrible coffee and chatted.

ohsuzannah · 28/12/2020 14:12

Spa day with my daughter, a lovely lunch , and some treatments included Smile

Chutneymaura · 28/12/2020 14:18

I’d be going to Edinburgh for Hogmanay with my family like normal and at midnight we’d do the holding hands and Auld Lang Syne with hundreds of strangers of many nationalities. Can’t ever believe that was possible, seems weird, hugging and kissing strangers an a crowd of thousands

My DD has grown out of her bras this year but is appalled at getting the next size up. I need someone (professional!) to measure her and tell her what size she is. Shes uncomfortable squishing into her previous size bras and otherwise just in sports crop tops.

Sn0tnose · 28/12/2020 16:01

We’d be in Wales seeing family and friends, having a massive barbecue, putting flowers on graves from funerals we couldn’t go to and meeting new babies and partners.
