How do you spend your 'me time'?

Just wondering what everyone is doing to feel like themselves these days. Any particular hobbies, or just how you like to spend time when you're not with baby or doing house chores. I feel like I have nothing of my own now that I don't work any more and it's making me feel like a bit of a nobody aside from being my baby's mum and husband's wife if that makes sense at all. I don't have any family of my own near by or local friends which makes things feel even more isolating.

I've started cross stitching again. Making LO something for her room while she has her naps. Total shut off from reading, thinking playing with a baby. Missed it. Hope you find something that's yours soon or a baby mum to break up the day xx

Podcasts, blow dry and straighten my hair, pick something nice/ new/ different to wear and bag properly ready for the day even though I'm staying home (getting out of my scruffy jimjams covered in drool and who knows what else is really gratifying)

💯 @Ruby I should have said
I did all this during the 15 minute half time interval during the Liverpool game when I asked hubs to supervise them for a minute 😹

Dads app!

I have been using this app for the last 6 months ish and found it brilliant for advice and making friends. My partner though doesn’t have any male friends who are dads and I was wondering if anybody knows of anything similar to this app that he could use to find some other dads local to us, to chat to/get advice/make friends etc. anyone any ideas? ☺️
