What do you do with your weekends/days off ?

SunnyDub1

I work mon - fri in a pretty dull boring job, so I basically live for days off and the weekend. (like most of us )
My weekends usually consist of lunch/dinner dates with family & Friends, night out in the pub onto a club, a day of shopping or a day of dying a slow death from a hangover.

Currently trying to save a little money so the last few weekends I have cut back on eating out, shopping and drinking.
I have found these last few weekends quite boring. I get up do a little house work, get some exercise in, watch a bit of tv, browse the Internet then it's like ...... hmmmmm what to do for the next 8 hours :rolleyes:
There is only so much of tv and Internet one can do - I get bored easily

So I have discovered I need to be either spending money or out socializing to feel like I have had a productive weekend

Is the majority of us like this? or what satisfies your weekends ?

Drink. Play the Playstation, usually drunk.

Clean out the previous weekend's beercans.

Why don't you work on the house? Any things that need doing?

Or work on your car if you have one?

Nothing ever needs doing And if it does it usually only takes a couple of hours.

The most I ever do with my car is leave it in for a service twice a year and put a through a car wash once in a while - wouldn't know else to really do with it

Just for myself in the past few years I've really started making the effort to get out and about and explore my own city Dublin (assuming from your username you are based there?) - It's really fantastic what it has to offer for free and I don't think we appreciate it enough.
If it's raining, most of the main museums are free - I love the Chester Beatty, IMMA, Collins Barracks, Natural History museum etc. Also love wandering around the old Cathedrals & Churches like St. Werbugh's, crypts at St. Michan's (there is a small fee), St. Mary's Chapter House. Archbishop Marsh's Library behind St. Patrick's is a treat too. If it's sunny, a walk up Howth Head, out to the Pigeon House pier etc. May not be what you are into however... but hopefully of some use!

Well then start a project maybe? Further insulate, build a shed or gazeebo or a BBQ, plant some vegetables....

Do you have kids? If not, having some kids should fill some time.

Im like you at the mo Sunnydub. Im trying to stay in and not drink or eat out/takeaways for November so Ill have money and be ready for christmas (which for me begins on Dec 1st and lasts all through to Jan 6th!) Ive also found myself getting bored at the weekends. I usually get up on sat, clean house from top to bottom, play outside with kitten, go for a walk, the last 2 weekends I even washed the walls in my sitting room and kitchen(they were manky actually so it felt good to do that) and already Im wondering what will I do this weekend to keep me occupied!

Take up a sport. Train once or twice a week after work. Game on Saturday preferably so you have an excuse to take it easy on a Friday and watch the late late show. Then go and cut loose on a Saturday night to celebrate/drown your sorrows after your win/loss in your chosen sport. Works for me anyway?

When I do work it's often weekends so that people like you can do something exciting to break up the tedium of their working lives. To be fair it can be an exciting job but I try to keep the excitement to a minimum.

As for my days off, well there's no such thing anymore because I have to mind the kids.

I just have nostalgic memories of real days off now. Getting up when I like, going where I like. Doing nothing or spending the day doing something interesting. Ah those were the days!

When I had the dull boring office job. I used to do all sorts on weekends. I was never bored. Even if I had nothing to do. I used to do it in style!

You need a hobby OP. Or better still use the time to train for an exciting job like mine.
