What do you do at the weekend?

We go to the football when our team is at home.. Potter around the house doing housework or jobs, food shop, see either of our families.. Sometimes arrange things with friends, sometimes go into town to shop but not too often, watch tv...

Go for pub lunches, normally combined with a walk, so we might pop to somewhere like Henley walk along the river & then go have a meal.

Watching films. Play games.

Meeting up with family & friends, the other weekend we rented a pedalo on a lake near us that was fun, then had a picnic.

Today there's a huge craft fair on half an hour away so might go there.

Gardening & buying stuff for the garden. Then have a BBQ & sunbathe.

Occasionally go out on fri or sat night with friends.

Go to the beach or lake.

Go shopping in town.

Baking on my own or with a friend then we watch films & eat all the food!

DH goes running.

The one thing I do very little of is watch TV on a weekend. I was enjoying The Retruned on a Sunday night but that's finished so there is nothing else to tempt me. If I'm in charge the TV never goes on before 7pm anyday. DD though will put TV on as soon as she is up which really annoys me.

Saturday mornings I'm normally out and about running errands. Late afternoon we go to the in laws to drink tea and watch TV. We have a takeaway there for dinner, usually fish and chips or Chinese.

Sunday mornings I do the food shopping. After lunch we go on a long dog walk. We usually have a roast dinner in the evening.

It can vary a lot from weekend to weekend depending on how much spare money we have and how many hours OH has worked all week. If he has had a week of getting up at 5am, driving hundreds of miles and not getting home until 8pm then we tend to have an easy relaxing day on Saturday, maybe doing some reading or watching dvd's. We always give our dog a good walk though.

If he has had an easier week then we may take our dog out - coast, woods, nice park etc. Money permitting a nice lunch in a dog friendly pub or tearoom.

Sundays might be a boot fair, organised dog walk, cinema, visiting friends or family, a trip to a castle or open garden (I love the open gardens scheme although OH is not quite as keen - he likes the tea and cake that lots of the garden owners do!).

We try about once every 6 weeks to go for a day or a weekend someone (nearly always ends up to be London) and visit a museum, castle, art gallery etc and, if London, go to the theatre and/or visit our favourite veggie indian restaurant in London.

We both love visiting museums, art galleries, stately homes, castles etc but since we got our dog last year most weekends are spent taking him to nice places. I don't drive so he only gets local walks all week.

Yesterday we took him out twice although didn't go far because of the awful weather (lots of local roads were closed due to flooding). We all got absolutely soaked but it was good fun and the dog enjoyed it

I've got a football season ticket and go to a lot of away games so thats been my life on Saturdays since being a teenager.
Apart from that we try to take the dogs out to a nearby town, village or National Trust place for a walk and a drink most weeks.
I can't stand spending weekends aimlessly wandering around shops, just doing it once every summer makes me thankfull for my season ticket however bad the football may be!

We like to pootle around our local mid-sized shopping centre, I won't say where it is as it's a well kept secret but it has all the shops we like but it's never super busy as there's a bigger town nearby

Sometimes we go to Superfish for the lunchtime special (prawns, warm baguette, coda and chips, cup of tea and your pickings from the sauces/pickle trolley all for around £6/7 (can't remember the exact price.)

Sometimes we go to the car boot sale if we get up early enough on a Sunday. We don't spend much but I like buying plants there.

Sometimes DH has a gig or maybe one of his bandmates other projects have a gig.

Last weekend we both got our guitars out to learn a couple of new songs ('Another Girl, Another Planet' and 'Ever fallen in love with someone' in case anyone's interested!) for the covers band we're plotting. (Two down, only another 38 to go!)

Last night we watched four episodes of a Boardwalk Empire box set back to back (don't have Sky.)

We are keen walkers, so often go out on a Saturday and do a bit of walking in Yorkshire, we take our own sarnies so apart from the cost of a bit of petrol, its a cheap way to get out and see a bit of nature.

Other weekend things we have coming up (fairly typical) - Vintage Fairs, Psychic Fairs, music gigs, RSPCA fun day. Last week we drove to Derby and went in the haunted Derby Gaol, and then into the Cathedral and did tour up to the top and the bell ringers did a demo for us (quite random really!).

At home we do our DIY projects, and we watch alot of dvds, comedies. We are currently watching the entire series of Are You Being Served one or two episodes a week. Sundays if I feel in the mood, I try out a new recipe for dinner.

I used to do the 'shops thing' at the weekend years ago,, nowadays we rarely do shops unless there is something we specifically needs life is to boring to waste it on shopping, there's just too many other interesting things to do!

Filling in time without spending money, I think I am in the expert category

Love my computer
sometimes cutting plants back in the garden or watering conservatory plants.
Reading kindle
Going for a walk, it is around the houses here. Wish we lived at the seaside.
I try and do some house cleaning every day. Today it was the conservatories turn. Move stuff and sweep and mop the floor and then try and put it back tidy.
Washing machine on every day and often online.
Ironing.
Watch tv while crafting. Making crochet squares to use up some half balls of wool.
Do the grocery shop online, I take ages on deciding what to buy and best value etc...
Cook the dinner and wash up.
Visitors sometimes. Coffee and a natter.
