...in short. I'm fed up.

OP posts:

Btw even though I have to live like this all of the time- I am enjoying the shared boredom immensely!

MoiraNotRuby · 27/01/2021 16:24

I feel a lot like this, totally agree that exercise is like free drugs though and will go for a run after work. I have a work project I really want to do, that I cba to start. Makes no sense.

Anyway. Get in the shower!!!!!

User23456 · 27/01/2021 16:25

I gave a light-hearted YABU for one reason only - I agree with everything you say.. except, how can you be bored with Mumsnet? Smile

MN is probably the only thing keeping me sane at the moment. But I totally get where you're coming from so, on balance, YANBU really.

The situation we're in is bloody awful. Hang in there. Flowers

thetinselbadge · 27/01/2021 16:26

Same OP only have very small children so the windows of free time are very short indeed (too short for learning a language or painting).

Bored of TV, bored of my phone, bored of walks.

I enjoy baking but sadly am fat AF so it's not really a regular feasible hobby.

Macncheeseballs · 27/01/2021 16:27

So you dont like watching movies n stuff?

Bingowin · 27/01/2021 16:42

Me too. I’m so lethargic and bored of being bored.

greeneyedlulu · 27/01/2021 16:44

I HEAR YOU!!!

I'm sick of everything right now

  • sick of homeschooling
  • sick of the battle to get child to do stuff without following me round the house telling me about fucking Minecraft!
  • sick of the crafty projects from school, no I don't want to make a boats, thanks!
  • sick of my partner's ability to fuck off upstairs away from the chaos to WFH (not really, but what a lucky bastard)
  • my work trying to diddle me out of some holiday pay last year!
  • housework, who the fuck is making so much bastard mess and the dust??? Where the fuck does it come from??? I hoover and dust every day!!!!
  • dieting and eating sensibly because it seems to have taken over every spare minute I have and created more washing up because I don't have a fucking dishwasher in this tiny, poxy house!!
  • my dad having to be mollycoddled at every turn, for fuck sake grow a pair!!!
  • my 1yo inability to nap during the day anymore then throw a cranky arse tantrum because, lo and behold, she is TIRED!! Can't really complain on this though as she does sleep through the night so all day time disasters are instantly forgiven!!
  • my internet going funny on the laptop but seeming to work exceptionally well on every other device in the house!
  • and fuck all on telly!
  • the weather
  • not being able to get out for a walk for almost a week now because of 1 thing or another, however I did throw my partner and 1 of the kids out yesterday for a walk so I could steam mop the floor but the other screamed instead of napping!!
  • stupidly giving up alcohol, what a knob!

Actually feel better for letting that out..... off to do yet another mind numbing daily task that only I seem to do and maybe find the gin! bollocks to the calories!

@wonderwhatshappening1978

Budge up on the Fed Up bench

@Cornetttttto

Teach yourself something. Like, the history of the Aztecs.
No one is that bored, surely!
WitchesBritchesPumpkinPants · 27/01/2021 16:58

I couldn't teach myself the 2 times table right now, never mind the Aztecs

😂😂

I nearly spent £100 on candle making equipment the other day.

That is the level of boredom

In what life would I ever want to make candles?

Thankfully I came to my senses at the checkout on Amazon and did not pursue the shittest hobby ever
Haha, this made me laugh! Would be even funnier if the parcel had arrived and then you'd suddenly come to your senses.

My oh my ... I’ve done just this. However a level of inertia that I’ve never known before has rendered me unmotivated to actual make any 😬

Fairydustrust · 27/01/2021 17:05

Mzhz. Ha ha, the fed up bench! That inspired a diagram. We love a diagram to cheer us up.

I'm fed up with MN, fed up with the tv, fed up with going a walk and fed up with the weather

@SSD

How was your shower?

If I could name change quickly on my phone I'd confess how many days it's been since the previous one. Let's just say TOO many. That's what happens when you live alone & don't go out 🤣. PP - two, pah, that's nothing!

PyjamaFan · 27/01/2021 17:10

I don't know if this is your sort of thing or not but I'm doing a free online course ( government funded) with Learning Curve. I found it on Reed after I heard the free courses being discussed on Radio 4.

I'm doing a Level 2 Certificate I Counselling Skills but there are all sorts of things available.

It's something interesting to do while I have all this time. .

ChimaeraEgg · 27/01/2021 17:12

I'm also fed up with being told to get outside for the sake of my mental health. I don't want to go for a fecking walk. I've not been out for two days in a row now and that is absolutely fine with me.

Saz12 · 27/01/2021 17:21

Just. So. Bored.

Slub · 27/01/2021 17:28

I hear y'all's!
Every day is like fucking groundhog day however today has been EXCITING!!
I have driven to the doctors to collect my HRT prescription AND been to Tesco and done a big shop.
AND made a spag bog from scratch for tea.

Don't think my poor brain and body can recover from such diversions Grin

PyjamaFan · 27/01/2021 17:30

I had an exciting weekend.

I defrosted the freezer.

Marinaloves · 27/01/2021 17:33

I’ve been reading the same book since October.
Can’t take the words in. Can’t concentrate. Can’t get into anything

Mintjulia · 27/01/2021 17:35

I'm most fed up with the weather. I can cope with the rest as long as it isn't freezing.

Just back from a run and it's not too bad out there. Last week was vile.

BogRollBOGOF · 27/01/2021 17:51

I've taken up having an afternoon nap to kill some tedious time as afternoon limps towards early evening.

I ran 850 miles last year, and walked hundreds more. CBA now.

I'm enjoying travel documentaries at the moment. They feel like a whole other world away.

likeamillpond · 27/01/2021 17:52

@DonLewis

Dude, get yourself netflix! There just so much to watch. It isn't all boxsets at all. Films. Documentaries, even a meditation thingy. Honestly. I was late to the netflix party too, but I bloody love it now.

But, I do know what you mean. I have a knitting project on the go. But can't seem to bring myself to do it. So I've forced my self to read a book. I'm loving it. Why did I stop reading????

I'm so bored I am going to ask you What book is it? I'll try Anything I'm so bored I could read the side of a cornflake box
