I hate to say this but I am BORED!!!!

You have to remember what your mum said Crafty! I suspect pretty much everyone here had a mum who told them only boring people get bored. I found it infuriating but it makes me laugh now.
I can't believe you don't have a window to clean, or a cupboard to tidy (or a forum to read)
have fun

I am bored today too. There are things I could do,decorating,de cluter wardrobe, more cleaning or garden pottering but I just want to talk to somebody face to face or drive to the shops and wander around even though I used to do anything to avoid shopping.

This is the first day I have felt like this and sure it will pass.

I feel a bit better too,having said this out loud.

It is not easy to motivate self. We are social mammals.

Not so much bored, more like what’s the point?
Thankfully it usually passes as quickly.
Sorting out cupboards usually works for me, but as with you sometimes even that doesn’t help.
........ perhaps a long soak in the bath

I just keep thinking ‘ I should be at work’ it’s so weird and quiet everywhere.

I suppose if you're used to going out to work and rushing around doing jobs in the short time available at home, then it must be difficult. I do remember those days, but now we're retired every job seems to stretch out and take three times as long.

Off to do some baking now

Bored = Stir-crazy.

Me too today. Think I’ve done too much over the last two weeks, spring cleaned the house from top to bottom, then been taking long walks, until yesterday, whilst out I got a sharp pain in my knee and had to hobble home, resting today, but bored ?

I’m not bored exactly - I would just prefer to be somewhere else ! Work preferably ....saddo that I am .

Have you seen this thread .

I am terribly lethargic which isn’t like me.
I can’t be bothered to do anything, even things which I know I should do, like mopping the kitchen floor or writing letters to the DGC
I’ve realised I’ll never do all those things I used to think I’d do, if only I had time.
I spend all my time on FB and GN and I’m ashamed of myself because I know there are people out there suffering.

I haven't had the chance to do all the "good" things like washing down paintwork and cleaning windows as I have a horribly hurty knee just now. So I'm just having to rest it, and being forced to read and watch tv and drink tea ... damn, it's hard!
Definitely not bored though.

Same here janea?

My Mum used to say "how can you be bored if you've got a book?"!

I must admit to being lethargic too though, and my cupboards still need sorting...

This is really weird but I've been OK right up to today and I could scream! I've loads to do. Plenty of hobby stuff. Housework and ironing yet I feel so lethargy and don't feel like doing it. Yes today I'm bored!!!!! I want to meet my friends and do ladies who do lunch!!!!! Arghhhhh!!!!!

I was recommended to Classic Words a scrabble game by gransnetters. It is free and I down loaded the app to my IPad. In 3 days I have become fixated with it and keep finding time here and there to play the game. It’s fab if you like words.

A friend has sent this link to a 4 minute video, so funny and clever.

Scrubbed out the f word in case I offend anyone

I wish I’d seen your version yesterday, Pikachu, before ever so slightly shocking some of my dear ones by sending out the original. How do you do that scrubbing out?

NanKate thank you for sharing. Its great. X

Maggie I have PhotoEditor on my iPad.

PS my friends never mind the unedited but the children are easily shocked!

Same here, Pikachu! Thank you, I’ll get the app and spare their blushes!
