Is everyone out enjoying a summers eve except me?

[Worzelandthecrowman]

Coz it feels like it.
DH is away with friends
The friends wives have posted on SM that some of them are out
I was supposed to be out tonight but friends cancelled last minute
A few friends are away on holiday (not together)
I'm now at home with DC who just want to game all night
I've got itchy feet to go out but no one to go out with and I've got DC as I cancelled childcare for tonight
I feel so alone

Never mind OP, you can watch Eurovision in peace.

No, I'm 12 hrs into a 14 hr shift 😫

I’m an introvert so not having plans with others doesn’t bother me (that makes me sound very unsociable but I can be, sometimes!). DH is currently mowing the garden and I’m giving DD a bath - no exciting Saturday night plans here.

I've been sitting in the garden and it's lovely out.

Haven’t been outside all day though I did open a window. I’m ill, lost my voice and feel like shite, haven’t slept well since toddler got ill a week ago, I’m dead on my feet. She’s in that maddening better enough to realise she’s not well stage.

DH made an amazing meal and we’re going to watch as much Eurovision as we can till one or both of us passes out on the sofa.

I had grand plans for tonight and they’ve gone to crap.

I’ve been in work all day, most colleagues and customers were in a good mood, so it was all positive… well, apart from a very grumpy guy who grumped at me, and then apologised and said the heat doesn’t agree with him 🙄 (I concur).

I got home, went out to fill my bird feeders up - got to look after the hedge dwellers - and made a lovely cup of tea. I’m all alone, I may finish my book, or fall asleep and wake up with a book on my face, or I may watch some cage fights, I’ve not decided yet. Living the dream here 😂

No. I was meant to sit outside our campervan and chill but there are a million bugs so we're sat inside with the doors closed staring at the sun.
I'd like a conservatory

I’m the opposite - got a birthday party to go to, and all I want to do is stay in and watch Eurovision!

DH is out for the day. I took the DC out to a local event and got to listen to DS1 complain constantly which was later joined by DS2 until I snapped and told them I was sick of it. Since being back, DS1 & I have had words since he never listens. I'm counting down the minutes until bedtime and wondering where it all went wrong. 😔

On the patio with a glass of rosé and a blackbird … oh ! And DH with a beer

Rosè

Scrolling Mumsnet and eating crisps with a cold beer watching pointless (on my own)
Rock and roll am actually enjoying it

Nope, got a cold. Local area is also in the middle of a noisy football fan takeover.

Can't wait for Eurovision, much more my thing. Hopefully some Euro-disco will drown out the drunken oi-oi-oi babble outside.

I spent a couple of hours sorting through my late son's belongings. Then went out and had a glass of wine in the back garden. I find summer evenings very hard.

I’m stuck at home on a glorious sunny evening with two irritating af kids who are climbing the walls because im too ill to do anything. I gave up years ago feeling like I was missing out on life when I realised being disabled is utterly shit and no one cares anyway. I feel awful for my kids but I have no alternative. I didn’t choose this life for them or me

I'm sat in the hot tub on my own (peace!!!), we've spent the day decorating our project until the FA cup started. DH has been shouting at the TV hoping he will join me soon. Sounds like the neighbours are having a party

I’m sat I the garden with a glass of cava, surrounded by bluebells. I can’t say I feel hard done by.

So sorry for your loss

Not just you! DH has gone to play a gig with his band and I'm at home with our 9yo. Went to the gym earlier so feeling knackered anyway. Going to watch Eurovision with her later

Nope. DH away on a stag do for few days. Home with 3 DC's. Finally sat down 20 mins ago for the first time all day and ate my tea. Can hear neighbours having a good time but tbh I'm that knackered from doing all the clubs, shopping, washing, bathing, feeding, I don't think I'd even have the energy to go out if I got the chance x

Just time for people who need company to crack a glass of whatever and join us on the Eurovision thread
It'll be silly friendly fun.

Just about to pop on and ask the same thing! 14 month old goes to bed around this time and I've not left him during the evenings and only recently during the days as I've gone back to work. Don't get me wrong I wouldn't change it for the world, but COVID made everything a bit s**t during my pregnancy and when he was born, so I've felt a bit lonely and isolated since having him. I probably wouldn't relax if I did go out for a few drinks with friends, but the thought of dressing up a bit and switching off is nice. I feel like I'm the only person who hasn't had a baby recently and not rushed out for nights out. I think deep down I'm happy to be where I am tonight (laying reading a book whilst little one sleeps next to me) but social media and friends/acquaintances make me feel like I'm not "living a life" and "having it all"

Anyone know what I mean?

Gosh, I've waffled/ranted a bit here.

I'm not, I feel the same like everyone is out enjoying themselves and I'm sat her on my lonesome bored.

@endofthelinefinally so sorry for your loss

I'm at home, worried sick about our very poorly dog, with DS in his room hating me and refusing to revise. DH has been out all day, came home briefly and is now off watering the allotment. I can hear loads of people in their gardens having lovely normal evenings and I feel very alone. Trying to watch Eurovision but not feeling it at all.
