tell me what you are doing on easter sunday with famiy

[justasking111]

Do you have any plans or is it going to be a quiet easter this year?

@emmathedilemma

Are you really struggling or just the wrong side of narky today ?

If you are struggling maybe you could start a thread and see if anyone can help you feel better or jolly you along ?

I genuinely didn't realise people (other than Christians) did stuff for Easter.

The beauty of Mumsnet - you learn a lot!

Oh dear

Like Christmas, Easter has roots in ancient pagan festivals.

@emmathedilemma

nothing because my family are over 200 miles away but thanks for the reminder that I still can't visit them

God, precious much 🙄

We’ll be having a lazy morning, then I’m cooking Sunday lunch followed by eating DD’s Easter eggs with a nice Sauvignon blanc

Most of my family will be together o/s

But I’ll be doing what I did at Christmas - making it nice for dc and getting loads of good food.

Church and then nothing much. Maybe (yet another) walk.

Church, then home for a light lunch because we are having roast lamb with all the trimmings for dinner, it’ll be just the two of us again this year due to restrictions as my sister has bubbled with her son, so I’ll set the table with some candles and a couple of Easter table decorations and enjoy our time together. Happy Easter! 🐣

I’m always narky but coming to the end of my tether of living alone within my own four walls now it’s been an entire year!

My ds and his gf are coming over to eat a Polish Easter breakfast (lunch) in a chilly garden, so we will light the fire pit to try and keep warm. Hopefully will be doing a zoom call with my relatives.

Aw not too much longer now @emmathedilemma.

Are there any friends nearby?

@Vickles20

Sorry, that was meant for you HadEnoughOff Bears. Reply didn’t work

Thank you! I'm very excited 😂

Well I'm not going to the pub but I will be having a roast leg of Lamb 🐑 yum yum

In Ireland so restricted to 5km travel limited + other restriction and the weather is meant to be dire so it will be a nice family dinner and a movie.

Nothing. We're in Scotland and not allowed to travel outside our local authority area unless it's for essential reasons.Family stay over 50 miles away in another area.

Just the immediate family here. Plan a Sunday roast, radio playing Easter hymns, country walk and lots of chocolate as we've all been off chocolate for Lent and are eyeing the eggs! I was remembering the days when we'd have the entire family around - DSis, DBro, their souses and kids, our parents, great aunts and uncles, all wedged around the table, with two big legs of lamb, a chicken and a veggie pie. I find it hard to believe those days existed, but I'm glad we had them when we could.

We're having friends over for bbq in garden. We would normally be visiting family but one side all live too far away and the other side are visiting each other (so 2 household rule used up). Looking forward to spending with friends, hopefully weather will be dry and warm.

@HarkAVagrant it's my ds's birthday on Sunday too. Happy birthday for Sunday, To your boy.
We're doing almost the same. Presents, pancakes for breakfast, Easter egg hunt, donut cake, pinata, both sets of grandparents calling (at different times) to see him and take away Eddie rockets for dinner.

Having a lovely lamb dinner

@Cowbells radio and tele here as well, pp mentioned some churches were open but mine isn't.

Supermarkets shut Friday and Monday? Or Sunday?

@Frownette yes but I’m just bored and we’re not allowed out of our local authority area for another 3 weeks. I’m usually away places most weekends!

I have my kids from 3, so then, Easter Egg hunt even tho theyre 12 and 16 🤣. Then I might inflict some egg related games on them... then takeaway Chinese, mainly duck pancakes which we all love 😁

Nothing. My family are too far away for a day trip.

Does anyone decorate for Easter? Or do crafts etc?

FinallyFluid ooooh like the Champagne idea, might have to borrow that!
