    Today has been like most Sundays, I feel very bored, can't get stuck into anything other than cleaning, keep looking at the clock!! I know the weather isn't helping but I just can't get any motivation on a Sunday!!!:dunno: I think it is because all the shops etc., are shut, the streets are too quiet, I HATE SUNDAYS!!!!!!!! :wallbanging:
    Good news is..........................it's nearly Monday!! :yes:

        I love Sundays :SUNsmile:

        It's the only day where we spend the day as a family ( I work everyday, inc sat) so Sunday is THE best day for me.

            Ooooh, I'd love the chance to be at home all the time and the opportunity to be bored. If I gave up work tomorrow I think it'd be about 2197 before I got around to doing half the things I want to do - of course maƱana would play a big part!!

            If you know you're going to be at a loose end, might I suggest you plan ahead. Think of something you'd really need to do, or better still something you'd like to do - you could defrost the freezer, clean the oven or sort out that annoying cupboard, but better ... why not write to a friend, make something (be it baking or some sort of handicraft), start researching your family tree, no matter what it is, make it something you'd really look forward to doing but even if it means buying ingredients or materials beforehand, just don't allow yourself to do it before Sunday.

              Sunday is a great day for visiting NGS or NT gardens. You can enjoy the surroundings and also get great ideas for your own garden. Alternatively, a walk (or drive) in the countryside can be very enjoyable. So, don't just sit there................

              The long dark teatime of the soul.

              But, we're still talking about it on thursday, so we'll be prepared for the next one.

              Blimey, I remember being bored once, think it was in 1971 :redface:

              Anyway, you shouldn't have moved away from Surrey, right now all the shops around us are opening for longer on Sundays, something to do with the olympics, they open at 9am and shut at 6pm. It's just like a weekday up the town :rolleyespink:

                I actually like Sundays as it means quality time with Mr Kandy,in fact i love both Saturdays and Sundays and use the time to get things done together.:biggrin:

                I usually spend my Sunday mornings cooking us a nice roast dinner with all the trimmings and often while it is cooking in the oven i pop out in the garden to see if there is any weeds that need pulling up or dead heading to be done.I try to get the dinner over and done with so we can go out in the afternoon for a nice walk along our local footpaths, or lakes,or if the weatyher is a bit dull we might pop out to a couple of garden centres even if it is just for a look round.:biggrin:

                I am not sure what the county was like where you moved from Val,but Hay is probably a lot prettier and i wouldn't mind living there:snork:

                Didn't you move so that you could be nearer your family,as I thought they would be glad of your company on a Sunday?

                  Zigs, did you ask Dirk if you could use his phrase? :heehee:

                  Val, you're welcome to come and join us in Shineyland on a Sunday. There's never a dull moment with Mrs Shiney around :heehee:
