Where have you slotted *voting* into your schedule tomorrow?

60 replies

Fruitysunshine · 05/05/2010 19:47

I am doing it first thing in the morning so that I don't run out of time later in the day and waste my vote!

Have you planned at what point you will be voting tomorrow or will you just go when it takes your fancy?

I so hope we wake up to a sunny day on Friday with lovely blue skies!

on the way to school (via minor detour). a family trip

Monty100 · 05/05/2010 22:27

Fruity -

Don't know why I have to do it, just always do. Probably should have said a pint or two .

mnistooaddictive · 05/05/2010 22:24

I did my postal last week. I miss the adtual rigmarole of proper voting but it means I never get an excuse not to vote. Tempted to go to polling station anyway for a bit of atmosphere but I am just sad!

TreeTrunkThighs · 05/05/2010 22:24

7.15am! Before breakfast. Family trip to polling station 20 yards from our front door. Quite excited

Botbot · 05/05/2010 22:22

7.15am on my way to the station. I am always the first person in there, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, feeling a bit silly and overeager.

ChippyMinton · 05/05/2010 22:10

Sent off my postal vote last week, as I'm a Poll Clerk tomorrow. Busiest times will be first thing before wrk, lunchtime, after work and at about 9.55pm jst before the polls close.

Meglet · 05/05/2010 22:05

tea-time, we are busy all day. It's only a 5 min walk so I will take the dc's out and get it done quickly before we do bedtime.

First thing on the way to work/nursery.

Monty100 · 05/05/2010 22:00

I shall vote about 6pm after work, then wander round to my local pub and have a pint. As with tradition .

BigBadMummy · 05/05/2010 21:57

Our polling station is right opposite my house so I will be lucky if I can get out of the drive tomorrow with blardy people parking all over the road.

I shall wander over early and get it out of the way or before I know it, 4pm will be here and it will be domestic chaos time.

BigTillyMint · 05/05/2010 21:33

On my way home from work to pick up the DC from ASC.

DH will be taking them with him when he goes to vote after their swimming - they are dead keen to see what happens, and are talking about getting up really early on Friday morning to see what the results are.

BrownNotCameronPlease · 05/05/2010 21:30

Going to work at 745 getting kids (day off school-school used as polling station)(am a nanny) dragging them all the way back up here then voting!

Wouldve liked a postal vote but 10y wanted to see what it was like going to vote!

bluejeans · 05/05/2010 21:24

On the way home from work at 5:30pm - and hoping this will jog my memory to pick up DD from different from usual location due to normal venue being used as polling station (although not ours!) Usually on autopilot at that time of day...

PiratePrincess · 05/05/2010 21:24

After I pick the boys up from football after school.

I still can't decide though - I like the manifesto of one, the people of another and the conviction of yet another...

4andnotout · 05/05/2010 21:23

I will be voting on my walk home from school in the morning, I feel very strongly about voting and can't believe some of my friends can't be bothered!

Certainly not hoping for blue skies here.

MoreCrackThanHarlem · 05/05/2010 21:18

Work til 3.30, drop dd at dancing at 4.30 and collect her at 7

could do it whilst she is in her dance class but she likes to come and I want to set an example that voting is something all adults do

so probably around 7.15, with dd, on our way home
she does have a tendency to be quite forthcoming with her opinions though
she will probably natter loudly about the BNP
and tell the world and his wife who I'm voting for

ElizabethWakefield · 05/05/2010 21:16

DD's school is closed tomorrow as it is the polling station, so once her granda picks her up in the morning, I will go to vote on my way to work (unless I or granda are running late) then i will vote in the evening, after I have come back from the cinema with DD (a bribe to get her to spend the day with her granda helping him do his cleaning job )

pinkfizzle · 05/05/2010 21:15

I postal voted - shame as I think I would have changed my vote if I voted tomorrow and I enjoy the walk to the polling box and enjoy seeing our neighbours...

scottishmummyofone · 05/05/2010 21:12

either in the morning in between dropping dd off at my mums and going to work, or around 7pm when dh gets home (and can watch dd)

Janos · 05/05/2010 21:09

If we can leave early enough (hah) on the way to work (just before 8) as my polling station is next to the bus stop, or on the way home circa 5.30pm..which is more likely.

Bramshott · 05/05/2010 21:05

Luckily I can see the polling station from my front window, so I will probably pop in as soon as I have a spare minute (about 9.55pm then!).

charlieandlola · 05/05/2010 21:03

On the morning school run, so dcs can put the X where I tell them, so about 745am.

feedthegoat · 05/05/2010 20:59

Polling station is near school so I'm going to call after pre school drop off at 9am. Prime time I'm sure, but it gets it over with.

gingertoo · 05/05/2010 20:57

DH and I are going to walk down to the polling station after tea with the kids.

I'm leaving it until then because I'd like the older ones (11 and 9) to see what's going on and DH and I can take it in turns to wrestle with DS3 (2) while the other one votes
