Mr_Odwin Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 It was a Bank Holiday in the UK yesterday (except for loser Scots). What did you do with it? We had my wife's sister and family stay at ours for the weekend. Eight of us (four adults, four kids) in our 2-bed terraced house: AWESOME. We climbed up a small local hill called White Nancy and had a picnic. Doesn't sound amazing, but I love doing little walks like that.
Murr Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 House work, turned the spare room into an office and painted the banisters white, put laminet flooring down in the spare room also, very difficult to do when feeling like shit, my birthday was on the Sunday so I wasnt feel all that great yesterday but HAD to get the house work done.
Serebii Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 Slight hang over from night before and then did work. Woo
Happenstance Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 My dad decided to come up and see me and my sister so we went out for some lunch at a pub then on the way back I bumped into Goafer in Tescos. After that I went home and watched the Office while playing on Football Manager on my iPod.
Cube Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 I was at my Dad's with him his wife and my sister, sister, sister and brother. We didn't really do much.
Shorty Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 Cleared out the wardrobes... a mammoth task. Filled two huge charity bags between us. Washed up, tidied up, laundry, hoovering... Scott Pilgrim game co-op at night with a couple'a cans! And evolved my Pichu into a Pikachu
EEVILMURRAY Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 Was painting but heard my niece and nephews arrive so had to abandon otherwise they'd be bothering me. So watched Finding Nemo and Harry Potter with them instead. Basically, just like a normal weekend.
Guy Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 I got absolutely wasted Friday night, spent the day hanging (in several ways) in London on Saturday, went to Thorpe Park on Sunday, then rested up on Monday. It was expensive, exhausting and awesome. I also ate a lot of pizza. Again. Oh, and sent more text messages in three days than I had previously sent in my entire life.
MoogleViper Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 Walked a Great Dane and Cocker Spaniel by the 23 locks on Chesterfield Canal.
Raining_again Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 I was a loser Scot. hah sucks to be you =P I was getting all my boxes/bags of clothes and putting them in my new fancy ikea wardrobe! wooo Had to go out and bloody buy coathangers too! Might have to do what shorty did and clear all the stuff i'm not gonna use/wear... 75% of the stuff doesn't even fit anymore, or just needs binned. And I managed to banjax my keyboard so some of the keys now have no facias. I also have today and tomorrow off (woo)! Today was spent doing not all that much apart from going to gym and purchasing a HR monitor, and tomorrow i'm sitting in waiting for my new 750gb hdd for my laptop, yeay!
Pancake Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 Worked in a hotel where Bank Holidays don't exist.
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 The heck is a bank holiday? Anyway, might as well tell about my weekend, then. Went to a party at my "old" school (the one I graduated from a few months ago ) Friday, had massive fun - it's the only place where you can dance to good music. Only one other place in town is good for clubbing, but it's filled with people who are quite frankly not my type. Didn't stay out too late because I had to get up early and help a friend of mine move into his apartment. That evening I went to town again even though I was already a bit tired, but I managed to stay out till about 6 o'clock - though I wasn't always entirely in the mood that night, especially not by the end. Too tired, I think.
Cube Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 The heck is a bank holiday? A day where all schools and the majority of business are closed and people get an extra day to do whatever.
ReZourceman Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 nightwolf's dad was working. I.....editted a great review of Scott Pilgrim If you havn't seen it, critics are calling it "Astounding" and "Michael is the breakout star of the decade" Then Molly was all like "You wanna see Scott Pilgrim again?" and I was all like "Hell yes I do." So we did. Then....I got home and wrote up a mafia night phase thing for another forum, where they were going mental at me because it might be inbalanced (I lolled) but its all fine, and going well and then that was it. So it was pretty great! Enjoyable than the average day.
The Peeps Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 Went to work. Bartenders don't get bank holidays
Ashley Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 I was working at SCS, my usual bank holiday affair. It was okay though. Enough to keep me ticking over and its CV fodder.
Fierce_LiNk Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 My bank holiday didn't exist! I spent about 5 hours being one of about 3 people at my school, tidying my classroom and moving old books from the bookshelf that the previous teacher had collected over the years. Some of the crap she had was gold. If gold smelled like the guts of a fish dipped into a bucket of urine. Goldfishurine, I call it. I wanted to play Little King's Story all day. Maybe on the weekend. Bank Holiday Sunday...TWO.
Jimbob Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 Basically, spent the bank holiday working in the garden. A few months ago, it was a lumpy and bumpy mess. Concrete on one side and grass/rubbish on the other with an old pond filled with more rubbish. Much work later, and a hired person (my mate) and it is nearly a garden. Now have a prepared area for turf, 2 beds for flowers/plants, a shed and a pathway. Looking to turf in a week or so now.
jayseven Posted September 1, 2010 Posted September 1, 2010 For the bank-holday weekend I went up to wales for a meet-up with cousins (was a day early), which ended up being rather boring because one cousin didn't show, another has two young kids and a boyfriend with a bad back and my sister is heavily pregnant... Finished The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo on the train up, then finished The Girl Who Played With Fire by sunday, and now have about 150 pages left of The Girl Who Kicked The Hornets' Nest that I'll finish tomorrow!
