What’s everyone doing this bank holiday?

Well I don't work on a Monday anyway so it's just like another weekend. A nice weekend coming up though;
Fri after work I'm getting a manicure, pedicure and eyebrow tint.
Saturday we're taking ds to a safari park with MIL & BIL too.
Sunday is my niece's Christening.
DH is off on Monday but he's going out on sunday night so DS and I will clear out somewhere on Monday morning to let him lie in then we might do something like swimming in the afternoon together.

Latter- sounds a nice weekend.

We will probably go out for the day and then some bike rides etc.

Visiting my new baby nephew during the day, Out for dinner on the Saturday night, going to Mil’s on Sunday for a bbq, maybe the beach on Monday if the weather is good or something like swimming or bowling if not.
Dp is working most of the weekend so will not be doing anything except the dinner out on the Saturday night!

Chilledout11 · 29/04/2019 17:08

Nothing major planned. Will go to the cinema and hope to have a bbq at some point. Plenty of jobs to do at home so it's a matter of choosing which one Hmm

SinglePringle · 29/04/2019 17:11

Working.

happypotamus · 29/04/2019 18:04

Friday evening to Saturday evening I am helping at a Guide camp, Sunday we have no plans, probably I look after DC while DH does his hobbies which he didn't get to do on the other days because of my commitments, Monday I am working a 13hr shift. I am exhausted just thinking about and have got 2 night shifts at the end of the week too, so I really won't be ready for camping and being responsible for 12 kids overnight.

Going to see our (potential) new puppy for the first time, which involves a very long drive as he's been hard to find. We're very excited Smile

No plans. Will probably go to the Lake District for a bit if it's dry.

Week off,back at work Monday. Nothing planned for the weekend,as everywhere will probably be rammed. Maybe a walk up the woods or somewhere else local weather permitting.

AvocadosBeforeMortgages · 01/05/2019 02:31

Saturday - family gathering and birthday party
Sunday - nothing planned
Monday - local agricultural show. We're not farmers but it's a good day out and we go every year almost without fail.

Decormad38 · 01/05/2019 02:36

As usual this year we haven’t planned anything. The bank holidays seem to be taking us by surprise! I need to strip some wallpaper and get my eyebrows done. We might take our dd(19) and dd (13) to a safari park. Not sure yet.

ohtheholidays · 01/05/2019 03:33

Friday I'm going out for the day with my BF,were going clothes shopping and were going to have afternoon tea whilst were out.

Saturday I might take our other DC out for lunch whilst my DH and our DD11 go and play golf.

Sunday were taking our 2DD's to the cinema and then out for lunch at a lovely local Greek restaurant.

Monday were going to a farm for they're lambing event,we'll spend the day there petting animals,spending money on crafts and sweets for the DC and we'll have lunch out.

BillywigSting · 01/05/2019 03:43

Moving house!

This week has been ridiculously stressful though, hence the ridiculous hour of posting. Have fallen asleep on the couch and am now about to drag myself off to bed and try not to wake up poor dp!

EastMidsGPs · 01/05/2019 07:33

Saturday is a significant birthday for DM.
She seems to have already started the celebrations with her various friends and social groups. So am expecting her to have an extended birthday weekend 😃
(Which will be wonderful and meaningful as she has had a few medical emergencies over the past 2 years, including a blue light dash to local hospital on Good Friday)

CuppaSarah · 01/05/2019 07:56

Working all Saturday at my play session and a party. Getting the kids photos done in town in-between shifts. Then Sunday I'll take the kids out while DH recovers from a late night and very overdue Dungeons and Dragons session. Then Monday we'll probably see what the weather is like and if it's nice we'll go to the country park. Or we'll go to my Dad's and have dinner.

hopeishere · 01/05/2019 08:22

No plans. Which is stupid. I always lament my lack of planning as I feel the day is wasted.

Must plan something now!!
