to say that I love Sunday afternoons

[McPhee]

Ever since I was very young, I've always felt strangely relaxed at this time . I think it's knowing that there's nothing to rush around for, no shops open...and the world just seems to relax.

I remember having Jam sandwiches infront of the Antiques roadshow, and mum would have made a victoria sandwich. Bliss

Bet you all think I'm nuts

Are you all relaxed

YABVVVVVVVVU

I am planning lessons. DAMN YOU.

Sorry

I love them at this time year - cold and dark. I'd like to permanently live in November

Right, times tables revision, year 2, 55-minute lesson. See you in an hour.

Me too, I love Sunday's. We always had a yummy Sunday dinner at about 1pm, relaxed or played out with mates for a while. Then it was home for 6, bath and into clean jammys and a cold meat tea all gathered around the telly and snap, Antiques Roadshow was on (it's still one of my favourite programmes today). Then into bed with lovely crisp clean sheets to read before sleep. Bliss.

Love it. Love countdown to Antiques Roadshow and whatever bonnet drama is on offer.

Also Sunday evenings now are like Friday evenings used to be - I used to look forward to the weekends (pre dc). Now I look forward to going back to work to get some peace and proper conversation with sensible people .

Couldn't agree more with Edith. Sunday afternoons in November are perfect. A nice walk followed by a roast.

I also grew up with the Antiques Roadshow and sandwiches after bath. DD seems to prefer Peppa

Homework shouting here McPhee.

Genuinely the Sunday afternoon impending doom has been replaced with Friday afternoon impending doom

Inspired by he thread thought I'd see if AR on. 8pm?? That's not right!

I never liked sunday afternoons in our old house but we are all more relaxed here. Ds and I are under a blanket watching Deadly 60, Dp and dd are asleep. Had my dad and bro over for a roast. Will bath the kids and pack ds football bag then its supper time and bed. Think I'll be in bed early too!

Remember the song Sparkling

Oh and dad in the kitchen shining shoes ready for the week

Me too, love it. Very relaxed.

I'm with FromEsme, except I'm supposed to be writing reports.

Love sunday afternoons. Walks in park, swimming or playing board games seems to be what we do. Followed by roast and bath.
Generally I head off to badminton on Sunday evening to take my stress out on a shuttlecock

Nope, am in total agreement, snoring dog, roaring fire, full of roast after huge family lunch at my mum's and all the prep and revision done. Harry Potter on, cake and sandwiches for tea. Am with Swedish, I could live all year in a dank melancholy November.

Home Alone has just started on Channel 4....

Sparklingbrrok - thanks do much. We are now watching Home Alone. Excellent.

And yes McPhee - Sundays are ace.

Yanbu Sundays are my favourite day by far!! Only day my Dp has all week so we make the most of it. Took the dc swimming this morning, came back for soup. Then some shopping for upcoming birthdays. Now home, have eaten our roast and all scoffing a box of chocs in front of home alone and the fire.
I am a sahm so no dreading Monday mornings here.
What's not to love?!

Sometimes mum would ask her best friend and her children up for tea. The table would be a wash with lots of lovely goodies. We'd have bread warmed in the oven too, and be allowed to choose exactly what we wanted to eat. That never happened any other time. If we didn't eat it, then we basically went hungry. So Sunday teas were a big thing!!

Loved it

I hope Dd has as many happy memories as I have. I feel very lucky.

Anyway.....have you finished your lesson plans yet?? It's nearly time for your early Sunday bedtime

Sorry, I would love to love Sunday evenings, but I still feel gloom descend as the afternoon wears on. Even though I liked school, I like University, I like my job, I still associate it with getting back on the treadmill.

The only time I was happy on Sundays was when I was a SAHM

Sitting watching home alone

Love, love, love them...log fire, papers and cheese on toast for tea.

That's one film that makes my teeth itch
