    I have no exciting plans this weekend. When I was younger I always assumed others lived lives filled with adventure and activity. People scaling mountains, sailing, spontaneous flights to cosmopolitan cities, large dinner parties, brunch on a Sunday with jugs of mimosa.

    The reality is probably a day spent in a shopping centre and takeaway later on. Shopping centres, shudder.

    Will travel to Bray to watch a Limerick FC game.

    I defy anybody to top that.

    That's about it

    Booked today and Monday off work. Mass Effect Andromeda is out. So that's my plan.

    Oh, I need money so I can do this too. :'(

    I believe this is the reason I'm going to be ignored by the two people closest to me for the weekend.

    I'm on crutches at the moment after surprise surgery (not serious), I can't get up to much while I'm hobbled and dependent on others driving etc., so I doubt anything more exciting than Netflix and a cheesecake is going to happen.

    Going to go to the gym tomorrow morning and them come back and have a nice big cooked breakfast.

    After that we'll hopefully head out to enjoy the (promised) sunshine, maybe get something a bit random/adventurous to cook for dinner and have some wine.

    We go visit our respective parents for dinner on sundays so might for brunch after a lie in and that should see me through :)

    I've a wedding to go to next weekend so really looking forward to taking it handy this weekend :)

    Big night out tonight.
    Tomorrow will be family day.
    Sunday will be consumed by Mother's day.

    I have no plans and rarely do. I used to try and make things sound exciting if anybody asked me, but these days if something asks me what I'm up to I just say 'nothing'. Too much effort to think of ways to make 'cleaning up, watching tv and Facebooking' more exciting.

    Yes, work, all day all night. I hate my life.

    Swap the "b and the "f" around in the last activity - it sounds like some kind of extreme sport

    I will cut out pictures of ladies from Argos catologues and make a stop-motion animation that involves my pet ferret.

    Good weather weekends = clothes out on line, clothes in off line, rinse and fcuking repeat!

    Officially 'Launching' my little (travelling) Bicycle Museum this Sunday, and was promised meetings with reporters from the The Indo, Irish Times, Examiner and local newspapers at my fundraiser.
    Got the chance of this publicity by pure luck and intend to grasp it with both hands!

    I get asked this every Friday by my colleagues and have started to make stuff up because there's only so far that "might go to the gym, do some chores" will take the conversation.

    i usually spend weekends with himself, maybe a walk in the park, a mountain of laundry and then a big dinner and some Netflix in the evening. Awfully boring compared to others who seem to be perpetually climbing mountains or taking classes or jetting off on weekend breaks.

    So what are you up to for the weekend?

    I hate getting asked that in work. I usually just say "Not much, you?" or else I'll make something up. Anyway I'm heading up to Lough Tay in Wicklow tomorrow. I like to go up there sometimes and take some landscape photos when the weather is nice. Then its up to the big shmoke on Sunday for some shopping.

    That you Eddie???


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,017 ✭✭✭Four Phucs Ache


    I'm going to Eddie rockets on my own.

    I'm going to pretend I have to go to woodies for some incomprehensibly difficult to describe metal fixing type strap/bracket that we need to hold the shed together.

    Im going to get a Cheese please with extra bacon, chilli cheese fries with ice cold coke and finish it off with a coffee and a smoke.

    Can't fookin wait.

    Mrs and kid are away.

    Walk the dog, go for a bike ride, a hike up the mountains (hills really), catch up on some tv, listen to some Spotify, read some trash fiction....takeaways....coffee shops


    Glorious

    Bringing my dog to a socialisation class tomorrow, he has a few issues, mainly he's just a bollox.
    And on Sunday I'm clearing out my parents house.
    That's about as exciting as it gets

    Last night and this morning took a surprising turn of events, i built a fort out of a duvet last night and this morning i fitted a dishwasher.

    Few drinks last night. Will probably go do a bit of window shopping (too broke for actual shopping) just to get out of the apartment. Then I'm working tomorrow. Fairly standard!

    Take the kids to their junior match. Mow the lawn and then sit in the garden - beer in hand - and gaze lovingly at the sunshine while it lasts.

    That word 'adventure' gets thrown around a lot. You hear people proclaiming about the adventures they plan on having at the weekend, or had the previous week. It seems such a strong word to use.

    I'm sure Ranulph Fiennes would be enthralled about your cycle around Blessington Lake or your walk up to the Hell Fire Club.

    Genuine question: Is it weird, boring or dull to do nothing most weekends? Because that's me. Due to a financial situation where I'm pretty much a slave to my credit card company, I have to pay "X" per month off my debt leaving with barely enough for petrol, food and bills. If I'm lucky I might see a friend for dinner once a month. Apart from that, its just work and tv. Its still not acceptable to say that in society though am I right?

    To pay off your debts responsibly and live within your means? If only there were more like ya!

    Not at all. There's some weekends where my arsecond scarcely leaves the couch. I work hard during the week, so if I want to do SFA at the weekend I bloody well will!
