Days when you’ve got nothing on

I wouldn't call them the 'best' days because I do so enjoy my somewhat hectic social life but I do know what you mean. A day to lie in, catch up with chores, go for a riverside walk, work in the garden or just the very joy of having these options is bliss for me. Lucky girl indeed, that's me.

Thanks Doodle. As others have said sometimes I do not see or speak to anyone for days on end. It is very depressing and boring.

Most women I know have their families and I find some groups are well established with no room for a new face.

Like you Maw I’d give anything to have my busy life with my beloved back. The time alone is so depressing for me. Early days I expect I’ll get used to it but at the moment it’s bl**dy awful.

So sorry . It's not the same, but after my divorce many years ago I eventually found I really liked time on my own - providing I got out and socialised at least twice a week. But not the same thing. These days, it takes me so long to achieve anything, I forget what I was trying to achieve in the first place! Due to mobility and other painful things. So going out to a cafe every couple of weeks is a highlight. It's frustrating not being able to get on with little jobs I'd like to get on with. Or even keep on top of the washing! The others help with that a bit but I won't let OH deal with my clothes ha ha.

Findingnemo you’re right about the weekends though for me it’s mornings rather than evenings. Hope you’re ok.

I actually said that to my GD, MissAdventure, that I’d better be sure to keep my kidneys warm.

Our Probus group has started weekend outings for those on their own . It is proving very popular ! Usually a lunch or sometimes a visit to a place of interest. I don’t go because on Sunday I go to church and they are often at Sunday lunchtime but those who go really like it.

Maw, Doodle, BlueSapphire and Oreo. Please add my name to the list.

Evenings and weekends are just plain awful.

I call it my "pottering" day....few and far between but very welcome!

Every time I read the heading of this thread I have to re-read it as I assume people are naked!
Just had to share that with you!

Summerfly- if you cant rebook at docs for awhile try pharmacies‐ or health centres- a lot of those doing them, and booking or walk-ins easier with pharmacies

Thanks for that Nannan2. I need to have it so fingers crossed 🤞

Doodle, BlueSapphire and everybody else who has “nobody to do nothing with”.

I echo your kind thought RosiesMaw2 💐

I love days where I am not going out in the evenings too. The days are busy with activities but I really love evenings indoors.

Me too, especially when evenings are dark so soon.
I have to do quite a few nights at work and go very reluctantly sometimes seeing DP sprawled out on the sofa with a book all cosy☹️
I don’t have days doing nothing much as always cleaning to do, a bit of child care sometimes and seeing friends and relatives as we’re a close family.
I’d really enjoy a Spa Day 🤔

I had on a lacy jumper the other day. My 6yo GD was shocked that I didn’t have a vest underneath and told me I was naked.

I do like the occasional quiet day but not too often.

You'll be catching a cold in your kidneys, mark my words!

Oh dear.(i think my son said same😁) you could try listening early in the day maybe? Soon after breakfast while your not so tired?

Marydoll- try audio books.

I got a subscription for Audible. Unfortunately I kept falling asleep! 🤣

Oh dear. Just realised that it's nearly 2pm and I've been sitting reading since I got up at 6.30am! I used to dream about being able to do that.

What's the betting we have an Indian summer

Every time I read the thread title I think it's about having no clothes on, and I'm already cold enough with my clothes on 😆

Got one GC 2 years old, another 18 months, and youngest 9 months. All by 3 different daughters. So the past couple of years have been mad, with lots of help needed from us.
Especially with the youngest still needing surgery at GOSH.
So when I get a day with nothing on I generally sleep 😂

I like days like these. Im hoping my friend doesn't want to walk later as I'm enjoying pottering about. I thought of tidying 1 drawer but when I opened it I was horrified and closed it again. I have no idea what to do with all the stuff.

I decided to have a lazy day today, but I’ve just realised reading this thread, that I should have been at the doctors earlier for my flu jab. I’m usually very good at keeping appointments and can’t believe I’ve missed it. Hope I can book another appointment. 🙈
