To ask if anyone else is doing nothing for the coronation weekend?

[TheLostNights]

We are not and I feel bad for it especially as I know so many who are.
We are on a tight budget so can't really afford to be doing much either.

There's a party up at the community centre which a lot of friends will be going to, and they'll probably be assuming I'm going too. But I'll be staying home watching on telly by myself while I make my outfit for Eurovision. Priorities!!

I don't have anything planned but I am making my own afternoon tea so I can enjoy it whilst watching the ceremony. Not a flag waving Royalist but I do want to witness this moment in history.

What's a tampon couple?

I was planning to watch it on TV with DD who is interested in history, but I've just realised it's on Saturday not Monday, so we'll be out at usual activities.

You feel bad because you're too poor to celebrate a ceremony for a billionaire. Can you not see the issue here?

We're off to see Guardians of the Galaxy on Friday night then we're having a relaxed weekend pottering around the garden. I have zero interest in watching millions of pounds being spaffed on a one-hour ceremony while people are struggling to feed their kids.

Yup, normal weekend for us too. I'm not a royalist, though.

We're just going to do some gardening and eat a roast dinner. I might stick up some bunting for DS, as his school are going all out so he's sort of expecting it.

Oh, I am also making the coronation quiche, but DS loves quiche so I also make a quiche most weekends.

It will be a usual Saturday for us, not doing anything coronation related. As PPs said, not a serf and won't be swearing my allegienace at a 125 million pound shambles when people are struggling to meet bills. I won't be watching it on TV either as that feels like I in some way support the absolutely ridiculous spend.

Normal weekend here too.

P. S I may be grumbling and muttering all day about the outrageous money being spent, the tone deafness etc etc, does that count as doing. Something?

We'll watch it because my daughter is interested and I like stuff like this but we're not doing any street party or anything like that.

I'm not and DH is going to be spending the time clearing out the garage as the weather doesn't look to good anyway so he will be spending Sunday afternoon going to the tip, hopefully. I did buy a Coronation Colin cake though to keep DH's energy up.

Google Prince Charles tampon
It's safe for work.

Nothing special but I might watch a bit on TV and our town is doing a street fair with screens up so we may wander down to that.

We're busy because we're away for the weekend, and I'm glad to be away from all the coronation shit that's going on in our village.

It will be a normal working Saturday here.

Not doing much. Our village cricket pitch is doing a picnic on the Sunday which we will go to if it doesn't rain as everyone tends to go and the kids can play with their friends etc. As far as I am concerned, it's just another long weekend.

Doing nothing out of the ordinary, checked and there aren't any road closures near us so the whole farce won't affect us in that way at least. We don't have immediate neighbours, but in a nearby street someone has hung a sad, solitary string of bunting. 😁

Nope, I'll be at work for most of it anyway. No one I know has any plans, I don't think a lot of people are that interested to be honest

Yep, OP is genuflecting HARD
Get up off the floor and stop being so submissive OP pleeease!

Some cleaning. I'll probably go to the gym. And I'm planning on testing my new oven (=> bake something. If it turns out well I'll bring some to my mum on Sunday).

@Stitchesremoved22 this, 100%.

not a flag waving royalist here either but I’ll watch this major historical event with my family and it’s a good excuse to have a nice afternoon tea and gathering where the kids can play.

Me too. I’d never wave a flag but I think a constitutional monarchy is far better than any alternative.

I'm just treating it as a normal weekend. I may have the TV on in the background whilst I'm pottering around the house. I don't buy into all the bunting/scones/novelty crowns nonsense 😂. To be honest , we've had an onslaught of royal bollocks this past 12 months.
