No plans for me. I'm at home, bored. I don't do sitting around at home. I need/ like to be active. Feel like I should get doing something today instead of wasting the day doing nothing. I could be doing various jobs indoors but I CBA to start them and their not urgent jobs, just trivial ones.
Hit me up with your exciting plans for today

Off to Costco with MIL and DH. Washing on the line. Time to get dressed after a lazy morning. Blackberry picking later on this afternoon with DD.

Jules912 · 29/08/2022 11:47

I'm supposed to be tidying as the house Ida right state after 5 weeks of school holidays, so of course I'm sat on the sofa procrastinating.

MissyB1 · 29/08/2022 11:47

Not very exciting, going into town for a wander around with my sister. We will have lunch in John Lewis.

HaveANiceFuckingDay · 29/08/2022 11:48

Washing on the line , Soon we will have a nIce drive out to a country pub for lunch with DH, mooch around after for some smart clothes for my new job next week

WillYouDoTheFandango · 29/08/2022 11:52

We were getting the train to Liverpool but it sailed straight past us and didn’t stop. I can’t find anywhere museumy open so now looking for a big park for DS instead.

gingercat02 · 29/08/2022 11:54

Driving back from the in-laws currently. Nice stop for lunch somewhere and then ds has football training tonight as always on Monday.

Strangerthings4NW · 29/08/2022 11:56

I have Covid… for the first time ever! So no plans apart from staying in bed and feeling sorry for myself.

we would usually do a National trust property and take a picnic.

drunkenflamingo2 · 29/08/2022 11:56

Went out dancing last night, parked the van at the beach, woke up and had a swim. Watching TV with snacks now, going climbing later then to a gong bath.

Tlolljs · 29/08/2022 11:57

Indoors this morning, then BBQ later at my dd. Nice chilled day.

abovedecknotbelow · 29/08/2022 12:13

Nothing and I'm bored. Kids have unexpectedly gone out with their mate for the day and a sleepover. DH is helping his sister with diy.

SlicsnDice3 · 29/08/2022 12:17

Working 12 hour shift
Eating packed lunch

AutumnIsHere21 · 29/08/2022 12:19

Softplay with two DC.

foxy86 · 29/08/2022 12:19

Just ordered dominoes. Lazy day for us.

maddening · 29/08/2022 12:20

Having a lazy morning as had a bad night's sleep and then the joy of 1st day of period so chilling out with pain killers and a hot water bottle but want to get in garden as have a project on.

balalake · 29/08/2022 12:21

Listening to Show of Hands, their Shrewsbury Folk Festival performance from yesterday evening.

Simonjt · 29/08/2022 12:22

Watching the nasa launch, apart from that absolutely nothing planned.

dalmatianmad · 29/08/2022 12:24

I've done some washing, cleaned the windows inside and out, been food shopping and walked the dogs.

Gonna go bed soon, start my run of night shifts tonight 😴

Eggsley · 29/08/2022 12:24

DH has done the food shopping, DC are both gaming. I am attempting to clean and tidy our bedroom which has become a dumping ground over the last few weeks. The house is a right state so we are trying to get it sorted. I've just stopped for a quick cup of tea before getting back to it!

JudgeRindersMinder · 29/08/2022 12:25

I’m going to work, because despite what’s happening in England, it’s not a bank holiday everywhere

dormouses · 29/08/2022 12:27

DH and I both working, kids at school. We're in Scotland so it's not a bank/public holiday.

YouCantBeSadHoldingACupcake · 29/08/2022 12:28

Spending the day trying to stop the kids bitching at each other, by this point in the holidays they are all sick of the sight of each other, plus they had a late night watching fireworks. Roll on dinner time when I can open the wine

I feel you! I was going to do a big deep clean last week but didnt and now it's gonna have to be done this week 🤦‍♀️

Today however I have escaped and am waiting for my friend from my childhood for a long overdue catch up!

CurlyTop1980 · 29/08/2022 12:35

At home. Just been out for a walk. Having lunch then going to a west end show with rhe kids ans DH tonight.

ColinRobinsonsfamiliar · 29/08/2022 12:36

I worked a night shift last night.

So had a bit of a sleep.

But I’m bad tempered and trying to keep my shit together and not rip dh’s annoying fucking head off and throw it down the bastard garden.

mondaytosunday · 29/08/2022 12:37

Exciting? Uh...
We came back from a mini cruise to Europe this morning- had to leave the ship at 6.15am! So dropped my son off then me and dd went to Tesco on the way home, arriving at 8am and it was surprisingly busy for a Bank Holiday. Home and now just taking the day to chill before back to the usual routine tomorrow. I'll make a curry for tonight.
