We've got Christmas out of the way for another year, so is it time to allow yourself a lazy day? Come in and tell us what you're doing today, or rather not doing.

8.15 am and I’ve been unable to sleep š hoping to maybe sleep in till 12 š¤
Heading back home today, I plan to be very lazy this afternoon, then make a big curry this evening.
Feeling the urge to go to a National Trust place tomorrow to make the most of my last day off work, but I can’t gauge how busy it might be.
We decided to break our trip up to Scotland from Dorset which I am glad as it took seven hours yesterday instead of four to get to our hotel in Wigan.Currently sat with a coffee before we go and have breakfast.Hopefully our journey won’t be too bad looking forward to seeing my in laws and chilling for a few days.
Very sleepy but got up to go to spin class!!
Once back going to spend 30 mins tidying up and then settle in to do nothing!!
Off to Wales! Me and my old pals have a get together once a year since we all went our separate ways with marriage, family or work.
Heading back home today, very tired as I donāt sleep well away from home. Donāt feel 100% either we were around a few sniffly people yesterday so think I may have suffered with catching something.
Home after Christmas today, back to the madness of moving house which I’m sort of-sort of not looking forwards toĀ
Morning plan: laundry already on, walk the dog, home-based exercise, crafts, then family visits. Not too lazy.
Itās Sunday?!!
The good news of the cousins finally going home and me getting out of the tent and back into my bedroom was slightly tempered by the Ducking Fog barking all night and keeping everyone awake.
Itās become quite a tetchy breakfast.
We haven’t really done Christmas yet. We are on holiday, spent Christmas itself with an absolutely lovely family (not just randoms, family of a good friend) and did loads of festive holiday things, but we fly home today and tomorrow we have “Christmas” with the inlaws, followed by “friendsmas” the next day at our place. Kids will get their gifts from us (scaled down this year, as holiday was the “main gift”) over those couple of days, but mainly I am at this point looking forward to our friendsmas day where I will just chuck a load of food out and then eat and chill. Gin will almost certainly be consumed. But first we need to get through flights…airports….drives to and from airports…
Went out with mates last night but like clockwork I still wake up at 7am whether I’ve gone to bed at 10pm or 1am…
Today we’re going for a roast (vegetables for the first time in almost a week!) so probably have a food coma snooze in front of the telly by 4pm.
Going for a run in a bit.
Got to do some hoovering.
Might go to the shop to get bacon in for tomorrow
Action packed.
Woke up and made some coffee. I’ve climbed back into bed now. I’ll get up eventually and go for a long walk in the park. Last day before I restart work so I’ll likely take a long nap during the day and watch a movie or something. It’s been a great holiday week and I feel very grateful for life.
5km run and a B&Q trip this morning. Easy afternoon seeing family and to continue building Lego at various points throughout the day.
Daughter needs to get out of the house for a while so we are going swimming, apart from walking the dog and yesterday’s dishes that are soaking, its gonna be a lazy quiet day
Lazy? No chance. Dragging myself to London for the annual get together despite me being ill and needing rest š«
A proper lazy day – BFF and I have set aside today to binge watch Pluribus, about which I have heard only good things. I loved Better Call Saul, so I expect to love it.
Dog walk this morning and then a trip to Matalan. I’m desperate for some new clothes after my 30kg weight loss that’s been a year in the making! Super proud of myself.
Then it’s home for a soak in the bath, fresh pjs and continue my jigsaw whilst listening to my podcasts and snuggle up on the sofa with my cat and dog, ready for work tomorrow. Super grateful for my simple life.
In bed still but will get up shortly. Today I am going to have a pj and sofa day. No plans just a day of relaxing. Im still off for another week as well. I love Christmas and yes it IS still Christmas!!
I’m very tired and could do with a lazy day but I’m going to see my dad. His care home can’t look after him safely any more, so he’s been sectioned and is in a psych hospital. There’s about a 50/50 chance of him recognising me and a strong chance that he’ll be aggressive, so I’m not looking forward to it. Not sure what I’ll be doing when I get home. Depends how it goes, I suppose.
Might have a wank. Go back to sleep.
About to have a coffee in the hideous but actually quite good for volume mugs my MIL got us for Christmas. Then it’s sorting the massive pile of dried laundry from yesterday’s mammoth washing session whilst the kids build the last of their Lego sets that Santa brought.
I’m off into town to meet up with friends for lunch later on. Half of them work in hospitality so they’ll have a boozy one. I’m driving so it’s Coke Zero for me. Looking forward to hearing about their crazy stories of dealing with the general public at this time of year.
Then it’s home to swap with my partner to let him go out with his friends. I’m trying to think of something Christmassey to watch whilst he’s out so any suggestions gratefully received. Otherwise I’ll be binge watching SE02 Nobody Wants This.
Im going into town for dinner followed by casino and a bit of drinking
Wanking, watching box sets, eating wotsits.
I had a fairly decent nightās sleep, although I kept waking up at odd times.
Iām not entirely sure what the plan is today with the family. I intend to stay in this morning, though I may go for a walk later if it stays dry.
Iāve been feeling a bit mixed emotionally for some reason maybe itās āChristmas bluesā, so I need to keep an eye on that. I havenāt drunk much alcohol recently, so itās not that. Iāve also been taking multivitamins throughout the year, which hopefully helps. Iām glad Iām not in work until 6th Jan.
Anyway Iād like to do a bit more gaming today. I started Ghost of Tsushima yesterday and only played briefly, but itās a beautiful game so far.
Iām also unsure about the evening plans with the family. I was hoping to see some friends, but some are busy with their families and others are unwell. There seems to be a flu going around, so itās probably best to reschedule.
I’m up. My daughter is up. Partner and son are still asleep, so I’m sat drinking coffee and telling my daughter for the 100th time that she’s not getting a lift to the train station that is less than a mile away.
Today will consist of reading, some crosswords, lesson prep for tomorrow and sorting out the cupboard under the stairs.
Thrilling!
Family in law are finally leaving so it will be an afternoon of decompression after 3 days of carnage. Will probably watch a couple of movies
Went out for a nice long run, first in a while and felt great. Rest of the day weāre going visiting. My parents first, then the wifeās, then the brother in laws to see the kiddies toys Santa brought. Not sure whatās came over me recently, Iāve always been an introvert but find myself wanting to be around family again, maybe itās just getting older feck knows. More Darts and nibbles this evening.
Going to the beach for a blowy walk. Home to build lego.
Went for a cycle this morning, church at 11 and then seeing family after lunch! Not a lazy day at all!
Replaying Silksong and psyching myself up to visit my dad, fingers crossed heās having a good day.
Lazy morning. Then as this looks to be the last warm afternoon for winter, I will open all windows and fully air out the house, flip mattresses , do laundry and have a general clean until I am fed up, then Stranger Things and red wine.Ā
Taken the dog to the beach already, had breakfast and now drinking coffee.
Later I will do some yoga, have a bath and do some crochet whilst listening to podcasts.
Later later I will watch countryfile, cook chicken curry, watch a movie and then go to bed.
Living the dream š
Thought about doing a 5K, I think I’ll just stay at home and eat toast instead
Working today then off for another week, I give it until lunch time before I pour myself a snowball
Quick shop as soon as the shops open, back home for a nap, make chili con carne later and watch Nuremburg this evening. Not decided if G&T or red wine will be the drink of the evening, as I have many bottles of each from Christmas.
Having a second Christmas dinner this afternoon, husband declared this yearās dinner the best one heās ever had and wanted another one. We found a fancy duck massively reduced in M&S yesterday so how could I say no
Staying at my sister in laws with the wife up in the Cumbrian countryside, only woke up at ten am, bliss. Heading back to Manchester later today, also been struck down with a chest infection which absolutely sucks arse as I rarely get ill.
I’m going to get showered, wash my hair and get dressed. Then I’ll walk the dog. Going to spend the rest of the day doing my knitting and starting my third jigsaw of the holiday season. I’m very much enjoying this peaceful period of total relaxation before all my usual activities start up again in the new year.
