This weekend

It’s freezing, we’re tired. I’ve done the big shop today, lots of slow cooker foods and curry planned. We’ve got lots of wood for the fire, I may just stay in pjs all weekend and only leave to walk the dog in the woods nearby.
Dd has made a den that’s taking up half the house and her neighbour pals will be in and out most of the weekend
Anyone love a very lazy weekend or would you be bored?

Weekend plans for a cold January weekend?

Most weekends my day revolves around walking the dog and reading. I've never considered it boring!

Same here, maybe a bit of baking or cooking as well, if I feel like it. I enjoy my peaceful weekends, especially if it's been a hectic week.

Hope you enjoy your weekend @Itsnowjanuarythethousandth , it sounds lovely to me.

That doesn’t sound like a boring weekend, just quiet one.

Sounds lovely. We regularly having nothing to do. It's nice.

It doesn't sound boring at all.

@ShadowsOfTheDays do you not enjoy being at home?

I love to travel & we have a lovely circle of friends & we're v sociable. But we also love being at home & just shutting everything else out. I need a balance of crazy busy on the road weekends & others where we have a v slow pace.

Not hugely. It's fine to a point, but I hate a weekend where there's nothing at all planned. I hate to go from work on Friday to work on Monday with nothing in between.

It feels like such a waste.

Fuck. I sound like my mother.

Don’t get this frantic having to “do” stuff especially in the depths of winter after a big spend December. Would imagine most people doing similar I am but with more exercise and walking to pub this evening to meet friends .

@ShadowsOfTheDays I understand where you're coming from but what I've learnt makes a difference for me is to mentally reframe that from 'nothing in between' Friday & Monday to a position of 'i have everything i need & want at home & I am choosing to enjoy it all' & also sort of considering it like a rural getaway type weekend as opposed to being 'trapped' in my house

We have a very cozy house & i love to be here so that helps too.

I love to have a whole weekend of no commitments & my books waiting for me
