We came away on the 23rd and are in the middle if a 700 acre farm. We’ve spent our days dog walking, exploring local villages, eating, playing games, watching movies and enjoying the log fire (we don’t have one at home). It’s our last day today and we are just back from a dog walk with no plans to do anything else today, other than board games and movies. We live a hectic life, mine in particular is non stop as I have horses that bring much joy and even more work! I’ve massively enjoyed the down time.

Aww that sounds fab! I’m enjoying the downtime too but feel like we should be doing something.

I got back from travels on Saturday so I’m enjoying a weekend at home! I might go for a walk later or wash the car. Or I might not!

Why the "of course"

It's Sunday. Most people don't work on Sundays..

Sorry if you are working today

coffeeandteav · 29/12/2024 12:49

Sick of having people over and partying.

Need a day to do nothing.

FromCuddleLand · 29/12/2024 12:51

A big jigsaw puzzle, loads of telly and tank museum cluedo. Interspersed with food shopping, prep and clear up, washing, persuading the kids to get out for some fresh air and more washing. Yesterday, I finished a craft project. Tomorrow we have friends over in the morning. Also planning a cinema trip this week and a new year's day swim .

Zofloramummy · 29/12/2024 12:51

Watching movies with my DD and the cats. I’m cross stitching and she is working her way through all of her Christmas craft gifts. She is currently painting a model set of Harry Potter. The shopping has just been delivered and this will be the last day of doing nothing. It’s been bliss.

wonderstuff · 29/12/2024 12:51

I’ve been sick since Christmas Eve, I’m spending a lot of time on the sofa watching tv.

OliveLeader · 29/12/2024 12:53

Surviving the final few days of pregnancy as best I can 😭

gingercat02 · 29/12/2024 12:55

I was at work last week, so I'm just chilling 😌. Weather looks a bit crap but hopefully, we will get some walking in.

TheScenicWay · 29/12/2024 13:21

I got a bit fed up by Friday so I set small goals for each day.
Exercise for 20 mins (usually a walk)
Spend 20 mins focussed time on each dc
20 mins reading
20 mins doing some cleaning
Do a "good deed" - that includes calling or visiting a relative, bagging up stuff for charity, put something in the food bank, hopefully I'll think of some more things.

Whattochoose1 · 29/12/2024 13:58

Hiding from my 5 and 3 year old.

MichaelaFrey · 29/12/2024 15:23

Sorting out shopping for New Year's Eve as we are hosting. Table decorations and food mostly purchased. Children have been strong-armed into cleaning the car out as it was like a mobile skip.
Tomorrow will be spent cleaning the house as we have guests arriving late evening for New Year.

TwinkleLights24 · 29/12/2024 15:25

I enjoyed a few chilled days after Christmas but today I’ve had more than enough of them.

Pllystyrene · 29/12/2024 15:28

Watching films, organising the house including a a tip run, packing away Christmas, going to the gym and hanging out with my teenagers and baby!

ILikeMySuitcase · 29/12/2024 15:30

When you go to the shops. Cinemas. Hospitality. All these people are working. Loads of people do work weekends.

Hedjwitch · 29/12/2024 15:32

Cleared clothes wardrobe and chest of drawers belonging to DH and me. Nobody needs that many clothes. Got a big bag for Charity shop and a bag of rubbish.

After breakfast, heading straight out for a walk with the kids. The grandparents also have a swing for the little one and the big one enjoys kicking a ball around and climbing on rocks outside. They also have a big basement with plenty of toys so that took up a fair chunk of the morning. We then did some Cosmic Kids Yoga and I did some FitnessBlender afterwards. Then shower and a bit of TV (Boss Baby 2 and Mr Tumble) before lunch. After lunch baby (well nearly 2yo) went down for his nap while the 6yo and I did some origami and then out for another walk. After the walk we worked on a big puzzle together (1000 pieces so it’s taking us a while) and read a bit. He did some colouring with his grandma too. Then we had some tea and cake and then he went to play tennis with his dad while I played with the baby. Then the big one had a bath and has just come out. The little one is watching some TV now and they’re probably about to fight over what to watch next before dinner and bed 🤣 eldest won’t sleep until 9 and the little one will be up at 6am (plus a couple of times in between…) so it’ll be an early night for us. Book, cuppa and bed 😴 and tbh this is a fairly typical day at the moment.

Newname71 · 29/12/2024 17:42

Fuck all! I’ve Promised myself I will do something (housework) tomorrow….. or maybe the day after 😀
Im not back to work until the 6th.

RM2013 · 29/12/2024 17:44

We have visited family and had guests over. I’ve been to the gym and met up with friends at the dog field as all the dogs get on. I’ve had a bit of time to chill. Back to work tomorrow

LyndaSnellsSniff · 29/12/2024 17:47

We've visited a couple of National Trust houses, walked into town for a hot chocolate, had my nails done and had a facial. Started my new jigsaw. Might venture up to London tomorrow but we need to fit in a food shop too. I'm meeting a friend for lunch and cinema on New Year's Eve but nothing planned for the actual event (we're pretty antisocial).

socks1107 · 29/12/2024 17:48

Worked, packed away all the Christmas stuff and had an afternoon in the pub.
Work as normal tomorrow
