90s Sunday nostalgia

[hightimer]

We used to go to church then come home and watch Thunderbirds whilst eating sandwiches with Sainsburys crinkle crisps.

DM would cook a roast whilst Ski Sunday or similar stuff was on the TV. We used to go out and play on our bikes in the close.

After dinner it was bath and hair wash plus school shoe polishing, then we'd watch Heartbeat in the evening. I used to dread the closing credits as it meant bed and school the next day.

Sometimes I yearn to go back to those days. What were your 90s Sundays like?

5 children and it (the tv series) or The Borrowers (again, tv series)

Roast with some random dessert.

Songs of Praise/Antiques Roadshow in the background.

Rushing to do homework last minute.com, and swearing to myself I’d do it on Friday evening next week (never happened).

Later in the 90’s (I was 12-22 that decade) was recovering from clubbing the night before, then shopping at Tesco when at Uni.

Good times.

Early90s: get up, watch TV and do some homework in the morning. I worked in a pub kitchen at lunchtime so would be home by 3.30. Shower and wash hair then finish homework. Church youth club in the evening, every church in the “village” (small town) ran a youth club.

Mid 90s, roll out of bed with a hangover. Read or write notes in the afternoon and back to the student bar in the evening. Maybe a quiz night in a local pub- try and win some drinks.

Late 90s- DIY or gardening in the morning. Plan lessons all afternoon. In the evening, think about our wedding. We got married towards the end of 1999.

Life shifted massively in 9 years. Much more do than the last 9 years!

Ahh yes, the random Sunday pudding. Ours was often a mint Vienetta.

Watching Time Team while eating our Sunday roast.

The Heartbeat theme tune takes me right back to 90s Sundays. Also the Archers theme tune

Sunday morning fry up while watching Little House on the Praire, usually followed by a western.

Mass then Sunday dinner. Whatever film was showing on the 4 channels we had to choose from.

Angel delight and jelly for dessert

Pretty much the same as yours OP! My random dessert was microwave treacle tart (not ready made) - craving that right now!!

I’d save my homework for the bus on a Monday morning

I used to like watching The Waltons on Sunday morning. Mum used to make a roast for lunch while listening to the Archers omnibus. I was 11 in 1990 so many Sundays were spent doing homework. In 1998 I started uni in London and spent Sundays at Camden market or Brick Lane.

When I was younger Sundays were so boring, nothing was open and there was only homework. By the end of the 90s there was more going on! Pubs used to close earlier on Sunday too.

Sing Something Simple on the radio - SO depressing. They could turn the most upbeat song into a funereal dirge. For some reason we always had it on!

I was 11 in 1990 too. Early 90's Sundays I got dropped off at the riding stables and picked up when it was getting dark. Sent with a pack up and coins for those drinks you poke a hole in with a straw and sone penny sweets. My mum was vegetarian I dont remember roasts at home ever. When my gps were still alive we went over for tea and had dairylea and crisps and peaches and cream and jelly and blamanche. I miss those afternoons so much.

Later in the 90's I would wake up at my best friends house after going to indie clubs on sat nights in the Home Counties or sometimes into London for a gig.

I went to uni in 1997 and then I went to the asda and cooked something nice with my friend in halls. We did that all the way through uni.

I fondly remember listening to chart shows on the radio and waiting to see if it was oasis at number one again.

A night out was well under 20£ and life seemed much simpler and more hopeful than now.

I try hard to make traditions with my dds. I want them to look back at happy times at home and things being predictable and stable.

90s Sunday evenings went like this, DGM would come over, we would all sit in the kitchen watching Antiques Roadshow while DM cooked, all go and sit in the dining room to eat the roast as it was a proper meal and therfore couldn't be eaten in the kitchen, back to the kitchen to watch Heartbeat while eating our fruit crumble or Vienetta, DM and DF would decide who had drunk less so was driving DGM home and we would have a bath and bed whilst panicking we hadn't done all our homework.

I dont remember at all

Also, I remember going to car boot sales, on Sundays, in the Summer.

I was 11-21 and really recognise these Sundays! The Waltons, Little House on the Prairie, Heartbeat. Peaches and ice cream if at grandparents. Crumble. Church. We had a roast, mainly for my Grandma as DM was vegetarian. Later on, recovering from hangovers after an Indie club or at Uni, hanging around making cheese toasties.

Nothing beats Ballykissangel. I loved that show.

Heartbeat and London's burning. The charts. Never really had enough money for roasts every week in our house. I remember Sundays being long days as there wasn't much to do and nothing was open in our small town.

I remember sunday roasts, the dread of having school in the morning, bath night and getting my nightie on in front of the fire, antiques road show, songs of praise, bullseye, and heartbeat. As the 90s went on, I'm sure where the heart is aired on a sunday. And yes, ballykissangel.

I think London's burning may have been Sunday night viewing too but I'm not certain.

London's burning was def Sunday nights and much more edgy than heartbeat.

Just remembered about the youth tv on Sunday mornings on channel 4

Seem to remember my dad going to garden centres a lot on Sundays. Although maybe this was more in the 2000s. Would they have been open on Sundays, I the 90s?
