What are you/will you do once your DC go back to school?

[NormaSnorks]

Much as I love them.... I can't wait for Monday (Back to school day...)
They have been off for eight weeks, and we've only been away for 1 week.....

But there are so many things I want to do once I get some time to myself again, I don't know where to start!

Should I:

• head off to the pool/gym/ spa etc as a reward
• start deep-cleaning the house/ tidying up etc
• meet up with girlfriends for lunch/coffee and a good old gossip
• try to kick start my flagging freelance work portfolio again

or perhaps just sit out in the sun with a in the garden and enjoy the silence

What will you be doing?

Get out for a decent cycle ride and get training for a big ride in 3 weeks time!! eeekkkk,not long. did 5 miles today ( with DS) need to be up to 15.

Go for a walk on the hills. At my speed and with out moany short arse.

DD going back to school also means I go back to school too, so work mainly.

TBf I do only work pt though so do have every afternoon to myself again, so 3 hours most days I guess.

I will be mainly:
relaxing a little and enjoying quiet lunches
bit of school based work
getting on top of the house stuff again
starting to plan some decorating/refurnishing stuff for the house

Back to work :( , juggling drop offs/pick ups in 2 locations, maybe fit in some gardening and decorating before the weather turns

Looking after the 10 month old, who is tied to me. Very clingy bf girl. Must admit though we've had 2 lovely days together as 7 yr old went back on Thursday.

I will be juggling work with picking up and dropping off 4 children from various locations all week plus activitie and our frantic life will begin. I get zero time to myself! I would like to change that a little, hopefully this year, but it is so hard to fit it all in!

Going back to work

Normasnorks Exactly the same as you. I love them to bits but am really looking forward to next week.
The DDs have been off school for eight weeks and we have only been away for four days.
GET HAIR CUT/COLOURED
MEET FRIENDS FOR COFFEE
GO SHOPPING ON MY OWN

Back to work and driving up and down to after school activities. Mind you, I absolutely loved the long summer holiday, we have done lots of nice things and I could have done with another month ...

Aww, this thread is making me so jealous, everyone getting on top of their chores, ive still got a few days to go and desperately need to go on a diet and take some exercise!
