What will you do when covid is gone?

[Woahisme]

Just for fun and a general nosey.

If everyone was vaccinated and/or covid disappeared, here is my list of things I would do.

Visit my 6 week old niece - havent met her yet.

Spend time with all of my siblings and their families.

Have a brew with my mum and dad.

Catch up with friends. Board game night needed asap.

Go to a pub (I don't even drink, I just want the vibe).

Mooch around the local shops in the nearby seaside town - they are mostly independent shops and I have wanted a browse for years but the kids would be bored so I haven't yet.

Go to a music festival in summer.

Start going to gigs (haven't been to one in years).

Take my kids to London - eldest has been harping on about this all lockdown. We live in the north.

Visit my relatives in the south. This could tie in nicely with said London trip.

Go on a well deserved holiday abroad. Don't care where, but I've not been abroad in years and not holidayed at all since 2017.

Visit friends in Scotland.

Nothing like a pandemic to make you realise how much you miss having freedom.

What would everyone else do?

Try and rescue my business (is running at the moment at a very reduced capacity). Then go on holiday.

Shopping, holidays, theatre, cinema, meals out, museums, visit my family in NI.

@KyraGoose

Glastonbury baby. And I'm nearly 40!

Age is just a number, I'll be rocking til I'm 90 🤘

Fingers crossed, it has been so difficult for so many this year.

Get pissed

I wanted to go to soft play with my youngest but they've a gone for good here. All closed down in the last 6 months.

I also would like to take my DD to her favourite restaurant, but again, it's gone now.

London is a good shout, I miss it.

Get married! Had to postpone this year - next year's celebration is going to be a whopper!

Hug and kiss my family and friends, lots!
Throw a belated house warming party (moved mid summer and would love to have our new neighbours over, finally)
Book a coastal holiday home with all the family
Book a holiday abroad,
Book lots of different theatre evenings

Cry with relief.

Hug my friends who have been having a tough time, go to various concerts that have been postponed, go for a meal in a pub with my dh and kids. I really miss popping for a pub meal.
If my kids are slightly under the weather, I will dose them up and carry on, and not stress about the slightest cough sending our world spiralling for 2 weeks.
So many things!
I'm planning a lovely weekend away with the dh whilst my sibling looks after my dc, and an equally lovely family holiday as well. (Cancelled last summer)
I could go on forever. Try not to take things for granted! As it has been far to easy for all these things to disappear throughout the pandemic.
Ooh, and just a get together with my friends, a good girly night out chatting over good food. I really miss these!

Overseas holiday
Arrange for DC to see friends
Cinema
Coffee with friends (and on own!)
Family party ( lots of birthday and not seeing anyone other than my family of 4, at Christmas).

Love this

Try to get DH to sell the business, been manic this year.
Hug our children and grandchildren big family meals indoors.
See our siblings & friends who have been shielding
Have a well deserved holiday or three, missed a big birthday holiday
Pop into our village local anytime we fancy it
Theatre swimming shopping yes yes yes

Oh and book club which is really cheese and wine with friends.

There is so much in life to enjoy. You lot are making me ache for normality.

Have a belated 21st party for DT’s, get on a plane to visit our families and restart our move from the U.K. Should have been before the U.K. leaves the EU but obviously now it will be after.

Throw DD2 a belated 21st birthday party

Put flowers on my mum and dad's grave

Hug my sisters and my brothers - I've not seen them for over a year

Drink lots of fizz with my SILs

Hug my friends

Go on a city break with my DH

Everyone will go back to worrying about climate change.

Seriously though, I hope people will consider that there is more to life than work.

Not need propranolol just to work in retail.

Have a big party to celebrate the birth of my DD with all the family, most of whom haven't met her yet. She will probably be a year old before we are allowed to do that though.
Then go on holiday somewhere abroad.

@Aprilrainbow

Everyone will go back to worrying about climate change.

I still think about that April. And Brexit. Seriously can't wait til covid effs off though.

Allow my children to get a full education and be able to socialise, go to activities in person, take part in after school extra curricular activities which school have stopped.
Get the health care my 2 dc have been waiting for.
Get the operation I've been waiting 16 months and counting. This surgery could give me some quality of life and mean I could get out of the house.
Without the operation my life won't change and will continue to be like it is for most in full lock down.
Allow my children to sleep over at GP home to give me the respite I need (they can't at moment as we have ecv in house and GPs both have front line jobs).

Hug my parents and my brother and sit round a table and eat with them
Really good night out drinking and dancing with friends

Holiday and look for a new job - I’m only contracted until July or earlier as it’s covid dependent.

Go and see my mum. She lives by herself 250 miles away and I havn’t seen her since July. The one by I can do this (and stay over!) the. I don’t care what day of the week it is, whether it’s term time... whatever - the dc and I are off there.
