Friday morning meeting Dsis, Bil and DN/N’s for coffee and pastries. Friday afternoon DD, SIL and DGC arriving for the weekend.

Saturday morning we are taking DGC to get new shoes then DD’s and I are going for mani/pedis and then dinner. DH, DS and SIL are on toddler duties and having a take away.

Sunday wider family for egg hunt, coffee and hot cross buns.
Sunday dinner, I’m cooking but DS and DH will help prep and DD is making dessert.

Monday walk around local national trust before they head home. Then we can collapse on a heap!

A roast dinner & easter eggs. 😂
my mother is coming for a visit a few days after the weekend so chill time is needed for us all piror.

My mother and I plan to take my nephews to York on Good Friday. We've booked to go on a magic-themed tour of central York that's specifically for children.

Other than that, no plans.

Not an awful lot which I’m really looking forward to. Had a roast today so may not bother next weekend.

I’m working until 9.30 on Saturday night and going out to dinner on Easter Sunday. I’m working 11 to 5 on Easter Monday.

Our town is wall to wall roadworks. I’ll be lucky if I move further than the garden . #prayingforgoodweather

Looking forward to a long weekend off work. Going on a work night out on Thursday night. Going out walking on Friday then probably a buffet family dinner. I’m off to a wellness day on Saturday which I’m looking forward to, nicely rounded off by a trip to the pub on Saturday evening 🤣. Family over for a roast Sunday lunchtime then between then and Tuesday morning will probably be overindulging in some chocolate and relaxing (interspersed with various dog walks and possibly a garden centre visit).

Crimblecrumble5 · 29/03/2026 18:59

Good Friday - travel home from North Devon. We are going there tomorrow for a break in a caravan with hot tub. Unpack, get the washing on.

Saturday - over to in-laws for a roast dinner and long dog walk. Hoping the weather will be ok. Collect my mum on our way home, she will stay the night with us.

Sunday - Easter breakfast of eggs and chocolate, Easter egg hunt for the children. Open my birthday cards and gifts. Takeaway roast dinner (I'm not cooking on my birthday!) and birthday cake for pudding. Most likely a walk in the afternoon. Take my mum home.

Easter Monday - Cinema to see Project Hail Mary.

Really looking forward to it all 😊

Amira83 · 29/03/2026 18:48

Sheknowsaboutme · 29/03/2026 18:42

Im off to Center Parcs for a week. Cannot wait!

Ninerainbows · 29/03/2026 18:40

Taking DS to the cinema to see Mario on Friday. Otherwise nothing. I dislike Easter. I live in the South West and it's packed out on the roads, at all the attractions and in all the restaurants.

damelza · 29/03/2026 18:38

Nothing much, free as a bird. Love it that way.

DinoLil · 29/03/2026 18:38

Nothing.

Auroraloves · 29/03/2026 18:37

Moll2020 · 29/03/2026 18:34

Brother & SIL arriving Thursday, staying until Saturday. That’ll be a walk & pub in the evening. Sunday cooking Easter dinner for DH, youngest Dd & parents, Monday day out with dgd & other daughter and SIL!

LadyMacbethssweetArabianhand · 29/03/2026 18:34

I am having family for Easter Sunday lunch. There will be 8 of us, so not huge. However I'm doing a buffet and never knowingly underfeed, so the table will be groaning. My grandsons will be hyper on chocolate, my uncle will wind them up and my son has news for the family. Can't wait

Visiting my in laws for a Roast Dinner and an egg hunt in their garden for my kids and their cousin.

We've got family staying, arriving on Thursday evening. Brother, sister-in-law, sister (single) adult niece (single) and my father. My (late teens) daughter will be the youngest person:

Thursday: Dinner, drinks sit up late catching up.

Friday: Breakfast - hot cross buns, smoked salmon and scrambled egg and bucks fizz. Go to the beach if the weather is nice enough, otherwise visit the local (touristy) town, look at shops, eat ice cream and look round the castle. In the evening we'll relax, have dinner, drink cocktails and play games.

Saturday: Similar to Friday, but we'll be going out for a meal in the evening to celebrate my niece's birthday.

Sunday: Exchange Easter eggs, have a light breakfast, probably boiled egg and soldiers. I will be cooking a roast lamb lunch for everyone. After lunch, we'll go for a walk on the beach. In the evening, we'll have a light tea and probably more games.

Monday: Early start for breakfast in a local café followed by a steam train ride. Goodbye to guests in the afternoon and then home with my husband and daughter.

I'm looking forward to it.

Sounds perfect! Enjoy

queenofwandss · 29/03/2026 18:31

Seeing family and friends for roast dinners and eating chocolate for breakfast hopefully!

Purplecatshopaholic · 29/03/2026 18:31

As little as possible, followed by chocolate
