toddle off
Amble away now
To toddle off is to leave or depart, often in an unhurried or casual way.
The phrase evokes the unsteady gait of a toddler but applies to anyone heading out without urgency: I think I'll toddle off to bed now, He toddled off to the pub.
Chiefly British and slightly playful in tone.
