amydown Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Generally involves iPAD and credit card. In the old days, I would have headed to Oxford Street for a bit of good old retail therapy but Boden shopping will have to do now.

midivydale Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 A cuppa (or glass of wine) with a good book if i am on my own, or cuddle from oh in front of tv does the trick for me.

Mrs TP Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Depends on time of day and exact mood but any of the following:Watching clips of locally based comedian Micky Flanagan on Youtube;Huge over-stuffed shop bought sandwich and danish pastry;Healthy food;Trashy magazines;Alcohol;80's music vids on Youtube;Looking at photos / film clips of brood;Most bizarrely tidying my wardrobe and trying loads of clothes on not worn for ages? I don't know why that one works.I think the whole thing is doing something for yourself and not everyone else in the house - just getting the time for that is a major achievement.
