What are your big decisions today?

Inspired by another thread where a childfree woman said that she loved the freedom she has, and how her biggest decisions today are how far to go on her hike and what sort of coffee machine to buy 😊

My decisions for today:

Which colours of Lisa Eldridge liquid eyeshadows to buy
What present to buy for my nephew
What to have for lunch
What to cook for dinner
What film to watch this evening

My DP is away so I only have to think about myself. I don't have to drive anybody to swimming lessons or birthday parties or football practice. Feeling very lucky and grateful today

Whether to attempt to start painting the primer on the walls in the front rooms or to let the plasterers get on with their work in the living room. Leaning towards the latter. In which case probably back to bed!

DisplayPurposesOnly · 15/07/2023 09:55

Shall I sort the shed out today... Tomorrow... Could leave it til Mon... Tuesday's a bit of a stretch tho.

MrsDanversGlidesAgain · 15/07/2023 10:08

Wine tonight or stick to not drinking and losing another couple of pounds?
Walk this afternoon or listen to the BBC Proms (celebration of William Byrd)?
What to have for dinner if Waitrose doesn't have what I want?
Bin the Nivea lotion that might be responsible for the rash on my leg or give it another chance?
Chuck that sunflower that's drooping or give it another day and hope it perks up?

What exercise to sub in instead of bulgarian lunges during my workout as my right knee is being a prick.

Shoesshoesandmore · 15/07/2023 10:19

Deciding which Impanema to buy, lots in the sale, last one have just started to crack after 16years!

Could also do with some new underwear may look at that.

Will we open a rather nice bottle of red tonight to go with dinner.

Enjoy DH company before he goes on a long work trip.....

MrsDanversGlidesAgain · 15/07/2023 10:30

Oh and check out that holiday company that's offering bargain breaks in the Med over the winter.

Life is so hard 😅

julia09 · 15/07/2023 10:33

Ooh, what company is this, please?

IrritableVowel · 15/07/2023 10:38

Shoe shopping for an upcoming wedding - which colour to go for

What to have for late breakfast with DH before embarking on my shoe hunt

What to make for dinner, or will we go out?

Do I need new boots too?

Oh and a bag

HundredMilesAnHour · 15/07/2023 10:46

Which face mask to use before I shower
How hard to work (feeling a bit lazy) during my lunchtime PT session, and shall I stay on afterwards and do some cardio and core work
Which AirBNB to book for 5 days in Austin, Texas (Business class flights booked yesterday using Avios) - I'm torn between 2 which both look fabulous
Shall I walk to the fabulous organic cafe after the gym to pick up some lunch
Do I rearrange some of my plans next week so I can also fit in meeting an old friend for coffee

BadNomad · 15/07/2023 11:13

I'm trying to decide whether to go to bed to nap or to just lie down on the couch for it. One involves stairs.

Bed. It’ll be worth it when you get there

Ihateboris · 15/07/2023 11:17

What to name my new puppy?

What colour nails to go for?

What to wear this evening for a night out in Chester?

Mmmm...decisions, decisions

Nap on the couch. Stairs are far too exhausting 😪

strawberryicecream6464 · 15/07/2023 11:20

Whether I can be bothered to drive to the supermarket for chocolate or not (16 mile round trip)

Or to have a cuppa with biscuits then have a nap as I'm exhausted from a busy week at work. Although naturally I don't know what true tiredness actually means... despite living with an energy zapping chronic condition.

Littlebirdinthebush · 15/07/2023 11:21

Today I’m deciding what book to read next, what to have for lunch and what ice cream to have at the ice cream parlour later.

snoozingbaby1476 · 15/07/2023 11:26

If I can be bothered to wash my hair
Carbs or no carbs with tea ( trying to lose weight for hols)

NeedleFeltedFox · 15/07/2023 11:27

I’m not even out of bed yet so I guess that’s the first thing to tackle

TrundleWheel76 · 15/07/2023 11:29

I just had to decide which joss sticks and incense cones to buy.

Later we will have to make a decision about whether to watch a film or carry on with the Nordic noir drama series we're half way through.

My OH had to decide which cheese, cold meat and wine to buy from M&S simply food.

I don't know how we cope with the pressure 😁

😂at the tiredness comment

bobblyjob · 15/07/2023 11:30

Whether to shower before bed (it’s almost bed time here)
Whether I can be bothered to finish some emails (probably not)
Thats it really
working all weekend so not much energy!

snoozingbaby1476 · 15/07/2023 11:34

@NeedleFeltedFox same. I got up for coffee & toast & came back with DD2 and we've put a film on. It's ages since we've stayed in bed all morning. Totally blissful.

underdramatic · 15/07/2023 11:46

I’m not feeling too great, body aches so I’ve just had a long hot bath which was bliss. In bed now while DH makes brunch.

This one

https://www.mercuryholidays.co.uk/

They were advertising a week in Malta in January for under £ 400 but of course the devil is in the detail - single supplement, what sort of room do you get etc.

readbooksdrinktea · 15/07/2023 12:23

Whether I can be arsed to do the washing. It's not like I don't have clean clothes...

When to open the wine.

LoobyDop · 15/07/2023 13:42

Whether to buy dress 1, dress 2 or trousers (trousers)
Whether it’s too windy to sit in the garden (yes)
Whether to have a little sleep this afternoon (probably)
What to wear to go out tonight (probably jumpsuit. New trousers need taking up first)
Spent ages deciding what to wear this morning, actually, as someone seems to have challenged the weather to do everything in one day.
