Routines, are you stuck in one?

I do have a routine for mealtimes but would put that aside if there was something interesting to do.

No routine for anything else.

Goodness no. Although being on your own makes a difference.
Once age started creeping along I vowed that I wasn't going to fall into any sort of a routine as I'd done all that for donkeys years so it was time to please myself what I did and please myself I do.
Even though at times I feel like * GagaJo* as regards the house. You can have too much of a good thing sometimes

I am a creature of habit, I know. I had a routine as I was looking after dgs1 two days a week, but that changed as dd is on maternity leave with grandson2. I always visit mum on a Wednesday morning,but that's more for her benefit than mine really. I always do housework on a Saturday morning and also go food shopping then too. But I'm not locked into it.

We don't have a self imposed routine but, inevitably, volunteering is on set days/times. Dh's gym sessions are set but occur 3 times a week so he can swap.

And, we do like tea, biscuits and the crossword about 4pm!! Actually, that doesn't stop us doing anything that might impinge on that time but it is a given if we both happen to be in!

My parents became like that in their latter years. I used to drive up to visit them in the Borders, about 7 hours’ drive and they would attempt to pin me down to a exact arrival time, because “they had their tea at 6.30” - so before or after we’re OK but not 6.30!
I swore I would not become like that and apart from a couple of regular activities which I try to “ring fence” I try very hard to remain flexible and open to spontaneous arrangements and not to ever begrudge the unexpected .
“Hardening of the attitudes” is something we must guard against, but it can be harder when your life is more or less your own to organise and you have got used to setting your own agenda.

I'm in a rut, rather than a routine. I'd like to be more structured really. The house would be cleaner, for a start!

I refuse to allow routine to enter my life. Every day is different.

Ohhh just thought, until September Wednesdays are taken up with looking after my GD but that is because my DD is working, so i don't know if that situation can be classed as routine i suppose it can, but it isnt of my choosing.

No since retirement do not have any routine other than staying in bed drinking tea later. But my husband does tend to stick to times which irritates me and often causes arguments. He does not like spontaneous arrangements whereas I do. The worse thing you can ask me is what’s your schedule today!

No strict routine here. When we retired we vowed we would never fall into that trap. Obviously certain clubs and interests take place in regular days but otherwise we go with the flow as they say.

Absolutely no routine. A simple life of as and when and everything is shelved in favour of social occasions.

No routine here apart from gym appointments.
