Any ideas of what to do on maternity leave?

Hi mumsnetters, it's my last week at work and then I will be on maternity leave for 4 weeks before my due date.
I had all these plans of what to do whilst on leave, like meet friends for lunch, go for walks, go shopping, deep clean the house - but I have developed SPD and currently on crutches and in a lot of pain so it seems that most of my plans have now gone out of the window.
Apart from washing all baby's clothes, has anyone got any ideas of stuff to do to pass the time? I am not very good at just sitting around and doing nothing unfortunately.

Pop out.

Somewhere, anywhere, it doesn't matter where, just do it, because 'popping out' stops when you have a small child in tow. Even if it's to the end of the street and back.

Sleep. Sleep. Sleep.
Then maybe read.
Definitely get a hair cut so you look fab.
Sleep some more.
Go to the cinema/meal with DP.
Just relax and enjoy your last few baby free weeks.

Definitely try to get to the cinema - it's really relaxing going in the afternoon when there's nobody else around and you really won't get time once the baby is here.
