Any exciting plans for the weekend?

Bambi985 · 24-03-2017 1:08pm #1

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?

24-03-2017 1:11pm

I have 17 euros to my name until next Friday so not really.

I have 18 Jalapeno seedlings to plant out. That will be the highlight of my weekend. After that it'll be laundry, cleaning the kitchen and hoovering the bedroom.

Edit: In my experience, people who ask if you've any exciting plans, are only asking because they have exciting plans and want to tell you about them.

Match tonight, suffer hangover tomorrow. Maybe go to Kilmore Sunday for a long walk!

I would not be asking Bambi about any plans this weekend... of all weekends...

Have they any tact??

Where are you going hiking? I'd like to go hiking. I'm in London though.

Lady is a tramp · 24-03-2017 1:18pm

I'm going to Imaginosity!

My favourite place in the world!

Might even bring my little boy, too!

Harry Palmr · 24-03-2017 1:18pm

Cut grass, cut hedge, cut bushes cut cut cut! :mad:

Celebrating having just gotten engaged.

Mint Sauce · 24-03-2017 1:37pm

Two 12 hour shifts at work, an hours less sleep between the two due to clocks changing, and hopefully I actually get up in time due to clocks changing.

TLDR version. I'm working.

Boom_Bap · 24-03-2017 1:38pm

Going to go around the house changing the times on clocks and watches.
Might even try to synch them all.
This is going to be the best weekend ever.

Aviva tonight for the game and a session Saturday,no kids for the weekend.

hairyslug · 24-03-2017 2:02pm

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

The Oort Cloud · 24-03-2017 2:03pm

I'll be having a relaxing weekend this time around. Might have a few beers and watch some movies. I already changed all the clocks to one hour forward, that will save me having to do it at the weekend, see how that goes.

Dont get ahead of yourself :pac:

24-03-2017 2:08pm

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

Jack the Stripper · 24-03-2017 2:10pm

Mainly work, two clutches to do and motor arrived for nephews Ferrari so that is first on the list to change.

There's usually one you usually always forget though. For me it's usually the clock on the oven or in the car.

Study

aj89 · 24-03-2017 2:17pm

Match in the local tonight, then tomorrow I'm heading down to Cork with herself for a couple of nights!

Lau2976 · 24-03-2017 2:26pm

Have to finish up some work this weekend and then take my dog to the vet. On Sunday I'm going to sleep all day! I'm going to roll out of bed and head straight to the sofa. Most exciting part of my weekend will be fresh baked bread on Sunday.

I feel like I've aged 70 years in the past year tbh. I used to do things every weekend, go on spontaneous weekends away, go out and blow through 100's of Euros on a whim. Now most weekends are cleaning or relaxing.

I'd find that exhausting. I don't even get jealous when I hear of people going scubadiving or jumping out of planes or jetsetting off on a city break during the weekend as I'd just think "jesus i'd be knackered and cranky after all that".

I like using the weekends to recharge/be a lazy backstard. Have made a manicure appointment for tomorrow and brunch plans for Sunday so that's about as much as I'll be getting up to.

Outlaw Pete · 24-03-2017 2:35pm

Have to deliver some documents to Prague and as the person will be holding a exclusive swingers party on a hillside mansion I will be parachuting in. Usually get a round of applause off all the young European girls when I arrive this way. Just been informed also that the host has arranged for a Veyron to be at my disposal for the weekend which will be nice as was getting a little tired of the usual Porsche. Quiet weekend for me really but the clocks going forward should brighten it somewhat I suppose.

Graces7 · 24-03-2017 2:50pm

Noooooooo. I love a peaceful, quiet life

However, things have a way of.. happening. Hope not this weekend...Please not... Please, please not...

SteelyDanJalapeno · 24-03-2017 2:56pm

Gym after work, then out for a drink and a bite for the Irish game.
Tomorrow gym again in the morning, then lunch and head to the Cork City - Dundalk game, and finish the evening off with friends, maybe some pool and drinks.
Will probably hike Sunday.

No major responsibilities, just take each weekend as I please really.

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1 · 24-03-2017 3:08pm

A run to the airport to see my wife and niece off on a short trip on Sunday.

mark085 · 24-03-2017 3:11pm

For you people having a boring weekend take a leaf from franks book

As for myself working tomorrow then probably go on the batter hard to resist

24-03-2017 3:27pm

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.

osarusan · 24-03-2017 3:31pm

Will travel to Bray to watch a Limerick FC game.

I defy anybody to top that.

biko · 24-03-2017 3:33pm

The weather here is lovely so maybe a few drinks tonight
That's about it

Gonna watch the entire Breaking Bad series for the very first time (Oh, like a surgeon...oooh!! Yeah!!)

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.

SarahMollie · 24-03-2017 4:03pm

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

Winterlong · 24-03-2017 4:05pm

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

DoozerT6 · 24-03-2017 6:56pm

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.

Live65a846d0ee · 24-03-2017 6:57pm

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

MRnotlob606 · 24-03-2017 7:00pm

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

heldel00 · 24-03-2017 7:03pm

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

DanMurphy · 24-03-2017 7:11pm

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 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.

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.

Any exciting plans for the weekend?
