The day has come and i am finally alone in the house. No Kids, no husband , just me,myself & I !!! I was feeling a little sad this morning and not sure what to do with myself so i though i would write a list of all the wonderful things i can do on my own ( Well No13 Inc my Hubby ) Hope you enjoy –
Go clothes shopping
Have a bath / shower/wee in peace
Speak to someone on the phone without being interrupted
Have a hot meal
Have a hot drink
Go for lunch somewhere that doesn’t serve chicken nuggets.
Read a book / magazine
Go for a run during the day
Write my blog in peace
Have my hair cut
Have my nails done
Have an afternoon nap
Have an afternoon ‘nap’ with my husband!! ❤️
Carry a small handbag containing only my phone, keys & purse
Watch trashy TV without having to pause it 10 times due to screaming
Wear nice clothes without the fear of sticky fingers ruining my top.
Go to the cinema and watch a film that’s doesn’t have Disney in the tile
Enjoy ‘silence’
Throw a one women party!!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Just do NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let me know how you will celebrate the kids going back to school.
I especially like the nap with Daddy moment! he he! I am owner of a 14 month old and won’t be seeing him off to school for a long time! Never mind, paitence is a virtue! Thanks for linking up to #FamilyFun – Hope you can join us next week!
hehe I love this – aaaah my time is yet to come before my littlies are at school. Your list made me quite envious. What is silence? I don’t think it has been a part of my life for the last 2 years, neither has having a wee in peace for that matter. Enjoy your you time!! Thanks for linking up at #familyfun hope to see you again next week xx
It all sounds sooooooo nice! I’m jealous (in a nice way of course 🙂 ) and wish I could be alone just for 1 day! My 4 year old started pre school but my 2 year old is still at home with me and she is needs all the attention x #familyfun
Ah the list of dreams!Love that..
I think I have managed to do all 20 of those things so far this week – well, apart from No.13 – but its only Friday, there’s still time, haha.
Long live term time.
big love, L

Haha number 13!my boy is at pre school 15 hours a week now and it’s so nice having a but of quiet time to myself. I’ve been using it to blog mostly but it’s nice to have a but of peace sometimes zz #familyfun
The last one is my favourite! What I wouldn’t give to just do nothing at all!! I still have two at home and although I dread my babies joining the other two at school, part of me cant wait for some peace and quiet! #justanotherlinky
I love this… I just wish I can do the same, because as soon as kids are off school, I’m also off work. I’m so looking forward to do all these self pampering at some point. #KCACOLS.
Fantastic list! My husband and I have just had two weeks off and for both of them our daughter was at nursery Tuesday – Thursday. We had lunch out, we did lots of things in the garden, we lounged on the sofa watching TV and I faffed on my blog. It was AWESOME! I hope you get to enjoy all of the things on your list and more xx
Your list is great! Sounds like wonderful ‘me time’ 🙂 For me: do nothing, watch a series and write my blog, oh! And have some chocolate without having to give some to my 4yo and feel guilty for not being healthy! Haha xx
#binkylinky
Oh my gosh, Im so jealous! My little one has just started nursery school, but I still have the newborn with me so no such luck for creating a list like this. I say work your way down your list and savour every moment 😉 Emily #KCACOLS
Such a great list. I actually enjoyed doing the cleaning without getting interrupted – that was after 12 years of having pre-schoolers in the house! It was such a novelty to start anything and actually get it finished. #KCACOLS
In my case, it’s me who goes off to school everyday and my little one stays home still… Next year she’ll be starting kindergarten, so we’ll both be out at the same time, so don’t think I’ll ever be able to make a list like this! #TheList
A cracking list but way too much for one day 😉. I haven’t had a day on my own in my own house for months…can’t flipping wait to put Gilmore Girls boxset on, do my ironing in the lounge without fear of burning a miniature human and actually drink a coffee while it’s still hot! #KCACOLS
Funny thing is i have been home alone during the day for nearly a week now and im lost ! Im still drinking my tea cold because i keep forgetting i have made one. My Brain has exploded
Whenever I get child free time (basically never) I always think “Oh I’ll have a nice cup of tea (because apparently I’m 90) and watch something on catch up that I’ve missed out on. The reality is I wonder round picking up everyone else’s crap and working on my blog/vlog/emails. Ah well. Thanks for sharing on #fortheloveofBLOG
Can’t remember the last time I was alone without very specific plans. I don’t think I’ve had a day like that in over a year. I’m not sure I’d know what to do with myself #postsfromtheheart
As an expat SAHM who has no childcare or family around, I NEVER get to be alone in the house. Like never. We’re visiting the Uk next month and I already have all my family lined up for babysitting duties. I haven’t been out with the kids in 5.5 years! The thing I’m most excited about is a day of shopping and sitting in a coffee shop all by myself with a magazine. Heaven! And ‘m sure I can pick a few more thing off your list haha #PostFromTheHeart
Love this list . I had a whole day and night child free in the week and just wandering about Manchester, going in and out of shops as much as I liked without anyone whining and insisting on going in the Lego shop was just glorious!!! #postsfromtheheart

#binkylinky
Ah I hope it made you feel better about having a quiet house! The question is which one are you going to do first?! 🙂 #justanotherlinky
It was a joint choice but No13 got ticked off 1st. Ha ha X
Oh my gosh, Im so jealous! My little one has just started nursery school, but I still have the newborn with me so no such luck for creating a list like this. I say work your way down your list and savour every moment 😉 Emily #KCACOLS
Im having a good go this week X
This list is spot on! I love this list but I am also quite jealous because I never have the house to myself.. at all! #binkylinky
Keep up the dream ! One day you will have a minute to think.
Hehe, great post! I have Wednesdays and Thursdays now without the kids at home and it’s bliss! x #KCACOLS
Im back to work next week but have loved a whole 4 days of being on my own during the school day X
Such a great list. I actually enjoyed doing the cleaning without getting interrupted – that was after 12 years of having pre-schoolers in the house! It was such a novelty to start anything and actually get it finished. #KCACOLS
Each to there own ! Im enjoying watching my own TV programmes and eating a meal uninterrupted, X
In my case, it’s me who goes off to school everyday and my little one stays home still… Next year she’ll be starting kindergarten, so we’ll both be out at the same time, so don’t think I’ll ever be able to make a list like this! #TheList
Bless you !! Your doing it for the greater good.Thank you for commenting X
I want to do all of these. Hope you had a fab day and hubby got to join in 😉 Thanks for linking to #KCACOLS Hope you come back next Sunday.
Nadia – ScandiMummy x
The list has been ticked off and hubby did assist. Ha Ha XX
A cracking list but way too much for one day 😉. I haven’t had a day on my own in my own house for months…can’t flipping wait to put Gilmore Girls boxset on, do my ironing in the lounge without fear of burning a miniature human and actually drink a coffee while it’s still hot! #KCACOLS
It’s taken a few days but i have managed to tick the whole list off . Inc No 13 X
Ahh having a hot meal, without having to share it!!! My hair is in desperate need as well!! A great list #kcacols
I had my hair done yesterday so birds are no longer trying to nest on my head. I feel great X
Well an afternoon nap sounds just about heavenly!!! A hot meal?!! What are we, royalty??? Haha-thanks for sharing! #KCACOLS
Funny thing is i have been home alone during the day for nearly a week now and im lost ! Im still drinking my tea cold because i keep forgetting i have made one. My Brain has exploded
Ahh silence! Thanks for linking up to #TheList x
I’m still waiting for the silence X
Fab post. After having the boys all at school we went and had Little Miss OMG so it’s going to be a while before I need a list like this.
I’m really looking forward to peeing on my own!
#binkylinky
Oh Bless !! No more for me 2 is more than enough.I’m happy to keep ticking off the list one point at a time X
When the kids get older (20 & 16 in my case) you still long for days or time on your own, they are still always under my feet! #TheList xx
Your supposed to give me hope !
Whenever I get child free time (basically never) I always think “Oh I’ll have a nice cup of tea (because apparently I’m 90) and watch something on catch up that I’ve missed out on. The reality is I wonder round picking up everyone else’s crap and working on my blog/vlog/emails. Ah well. Thanks for sharing on #fortheloveofBLOG
Nothing wrong with a good old cup of tea ( as long as there is cake with it ) X
A great list of things to do whilst kid free! I mostly do number 20 haha! Thanks for linking up to #justanotherlinky
I have completed all numbers now so making some new ones up !
Great post. Loving the suggestions. I like binge watching my favourite show
Can’t remember the last time I was alone without very specific plans. I don’t think I’ve had a day like that in over a year. I’m not sure I’d know what to do with myself #postsfromtheheart
Haha, I’m sitting here with my four week old trying to work out just how long it will be before I get to do these again!!

I don’t know what this is – I am never ever at home alone! I’m so jealous!! #postsfromtheheart
