Default Good Friday-the most boring day ?

What does everybody do on Good Friday,in my opinion the most boring day of the year.
Maybe wash and polish your car,watch DVD or you might do something else,so what do you plan to do ?
I might even go and play with my nitro remote control GT later on,after i've washed my other half's car.
Cheers John

I was just thinking the same thing, It's going to be a long boring day. I'm think GT4 might cop a bit of a workout this afternoon.

Wash the car, clean out the spare room, get the washing done. When that's done watch a DVD or two, and wait for the midnight total for the Royal Childrens Hospital Good Friday appeal.
Or I could have gone to Lorne but the tourists put me off.

I don't think it's a boring day at all, sleep in, stay in pj's until lunch time, maybe go wash the car, watch some movies, surf the net, eat mud cake for breakfast and kick back and do sfa and not even think about work :-)

Now that's what I am talking about!

Looks like a day to fire up some computer games and have a play.
Last time I did that I blew the PSU so I'm in no hurry
Apart form that, its a relax and recover day. Minimum possible effort at all time and screw washing the car, its too cold, too windy and takes too much energy.

Any 4 day weekend rocks!!! I loathe my job, so doing ANYTHING or NOTHING when I am not at work is a massive bonus. The only bad thing about it is spending most of Monday night thinking about going back to work the next morning.

OK, me and Eamon slept in until midday. The kids got up and just watched tv and made their own breakfast so we just stayed in bed.... Then Eamon made me breakki (eggs and cheese on toast) and had a coffee and then we got online.

The kids Dad comes to get the kids in about an hour and then we have the weekend kid-free!!! Although the kids will be coming back on Sunday for a little while for the easter egg hunt we have planned for them - then they are back with their Dad until Monday night.

We are planning on watching dvds, having a few drinks tonight, washing the cars, going for a drive to Victor Harbour and whatever else we think of doing or can be bothered doing.... And Im going to enjoy every minute of it.

Hope you all have a great Easter weekend with your kids and families or whatever! And for those of you at work, I hope you guys have a decent weekend anyway, that you get some goodies while you are there, or at least you can hop onto the forums or something! And most of all I hope that you get paid heaps over the break!!!!!

They are cleaning the cross up now... it's going to get boring real soon. Thankfully they still had a few sex shops the last time I went down so I was able to make a now well-used purchase

Even our fave eatery, a 24 hour place that had excellent food for super cheap called Kraves, is gone boohoo! Now we have nowhere to sit and watch the drug deals under the table, the hookers coming in for a feed after a big night, or the cops arresting drunk weirdos. No fun.

We had a big day out. I found out that Paddy's Markets was open in Flemington (Sydney) today so we bundled everyone in the car and went to purchase some decent cheap clothing. $200 later and all I got was a $3 mobile phone cover, the kids got the rest. Oh and cheap fruit and veg, always worth it

Spent an early dinner at Lazikos on Parramatta Road, good value and damn nice, then home.

Went past Eastern Creek Raceway to find a whole lotta cars parked there - I forgot it's the Powercruise this weekend. Maybe we'll check it out over the weekend or maybe we won't, a short holiday is like that.

Sent hubby off to get DVDs, gotta love easter. 4 days of doing what we feel like ROCKS :hihi:

I really shouldn't have sat down in front of the computer, the only thing that's been accomplished so far is the car getting washed and The Maddestman is doing that.
I will move my backside.. must move away from the computer... so much effort...

A shower should wake me up. :

Thanks for the reminder Mrs Casper, I need to wash the floors too. Oh fun.. :togo:
