YANBU. Next thing you know you'll be going for a 'nice drive' on a Sunday, to somewhere you can get out and 'stretch your legs' with the dc and he can sit in the car and listen to the match on the radio.

WilsonFrickett: the sad thing is you know you'd love a middle aged Sunday too.

I love a good garden centre, me. The ones we go to have pet shops and soft play and cafes with great cake as well as plants and stuff. Hours of fun.

I now want to visit a morrison's to see misty water spray and stuff. How does one find out where a swanky new morrison's is to be found?

DonkeysDontRideBicycles · 27/02/2013 14:12

Water misted veg + herbs?! And the streets of London are paved with gold, children.

BettyStogs · 27/02/2013 14:34

Garden centres are fine if you go intending to buy some garden related items, and while you're there happen to have tea and cake, its when you go to the garden centre specifically for a cup of tea that you need to start worrying, yes mum & dad, I'm looking at you...

ArbitraryUsername · 27/02/2013 14:35

We tend to go or the cake (and free soft play). DH will be 30 this year.

I love a couple of lost hours wandering around our local garden centre looking for cheap half dead plants i can nurse back to health. i even have a garden club card so get points and discount.

Morrisons in worthing has just had a refit and has the best veg displays with misters and strange looking fruits. On saturday i thought i would drive out to the new morrisons that has just opened at littlehampton. I got lost and coundn't find it and was gutted to have to go to asda instead.

WilsonFrickett · 27/02/2013 14:43

I have been known to build a day round a trip to Waiterose, yes. But I'm in Scotland, they're a novelty round here.

My friend took a picture of the misted veg when she went to a Morrisons in another town :o our Morrisons is full of smackheads.

aldiwhore · 27/02/2013 14:49

There was an outcry when the council closed and demolished a perfectly good school, the cry went quiet when local parents heard about the new Waitrose.

I LOVE going for a drive on a Sunday, 40 minutes in a car purely to drink a cup of tea made by someone else for a huge mark up... DH doesn't get this.

THERhubarb · 27/02/2013 14:51

We usually find solace in the pub.

We saw that spray thing at Morrisons and I remarked at the time how amusing it would be if an employee urinated in the water tank at the other end Grin

I like a nice ice cream on the pier on a sunny Sunday.

susiedaisy · 27/02/2013 15:03

When our local lidel's had a refurb I was beside myself with excitement waiting for it to reopen! It now has new bread baskets and a bread oven that's apparently going into operation soon, and I can't wait GrinGrin we also have the first ever waitrose being built in the small town next to us, so it will be the first time I've ever shopped in waitrose, it opens in the summer and I'm tempted to book a day off work for the opening Wink

GwendolineMaryLacey · 27/02/2013 15:28

Is the morrisons in Woking big? Like is it worth driving from Epsom for?

SolidGoldBrass · 27/02/2013 15:30

Hahahah I am older than most of you put together and I would still rather spend my SUndays sinking pints of cider and chasing tattooed young men round the Fetish Fair...

SolidGoldBrass · 27/02/2013 15:31

I get taken to garden centres by my mum, brother and SIL sometimes. I always have to struggle not to revert to sulky teenager...

cantspel · 27/02/2013 15:40

Even 20 years ago chasing young around a fetish bar would have filed me with horror. I will still sink the pints of cider as it does quench the thirst after mowing the lawn.

BlissfullyIgnorant · 27/02/2013 15:46

Morrisons???
Meat...buy meat...lots of meat!

MarinaIvy · 27/02/2013 16:18

In the 80s I used to close Danceteria and then the after-hours clubs...

In the 90s, I used to close Oxford Street

Now I just close ... my eyes, and catch some zeds whenever and wherever I can.

sigh

desperateforaholiday · 27/02/2013 17:51

Every morrisons ive been in always stinks of fish, either from the cafe or their fish counter which is always at the entrance

FatPenguin · 27/02/2013 18:08

Oh I got so excited when I went to the new morrisons! I stood there along side others gazing at the veg that looked like it was on fire. I stare at it every time but never buy veg, bit scared to stick my hand in the smoky stuff.
I love nothing more than a wander around B&Q just going up and down the aisles looking at everything.

A trip to waitrose is the sort of the thing we put on the calendar e.g. * WAITROSE!!! *

Oh I do love a Sunday afternoon.

KatieScarlett2833 · 27/02/2013 18:17

I love our local huge Dobbies Garden Centre. The cafe is heaven, the shop a delight, the smelly Cath kidson bit is fragrant, the canopy furniture bit is inspired, the fash are sparkly. And there are also some plants.

deedotty · 27/02/2013 22:36

YADNBU, bless you Smile

I have on-off depression. During one low period I was living on my own, and just needed somewhere safe to "go out and do something that's not staring at the wall" in the middle of the night. Not in London so no 24 hour cafes, and obviously one can't sit in a nightclub on one's own!

24 hour Tesco round the corner, absolutely did the job Grin I just wandered round seeing them fill up the shelves and looked at the clothes.

24 hour Asda near me now.

(Fortunately, I haven't felt the urge for the night-time wandering for some time now! Smile)

Horsemad · 27/02/2013 23:01

Me: 'DH, the kids are out for a couple of hours, fancy a shag?

DH: 'Hang on a minute, I'm descaling the kettle'

Shock

And no, it WASN'T a euphemism Sad

OP -THAT'S the most depressing uttered by a DP Grin
