These seven changes to your ideal weekend plans probably sound familiar
THE weekends are precious quality time to relax from a long working week, spend with your kids or see your grandchildren. However, things don’t always go according to plan!
With another weekend having come and gone, it's time to reflect on what went well and what didn't go according to plan!
You plan a weekend to make the most of the free time. There might be activities, trips out or some relaxation time on the agenda.
How long does it take before that plan goes out the window?

What you expect from a weekend versus what actually happens are two very different stories.
Does this sound familiar?
The weekend – expectation
Here’s how you might think a weekend will go:
- A lie in – You’re not asking for a long lie in, just a little longer than your usual alarm.
- A relaxed breakfast – No need to quickly gulp down cereal, you have the time to slowly enjoy your breakfast and get ready for the day ahead.
- Walk in the park – The weather looks like it’s getting nicer, you want to go around the park and tire out the kids / grandkids.
- Get chores done – Shouldn't take too long, they can't have built up that much in a week.
- Have a take away – The weekends were made for treats! No need to cook or wash up.
- Watch a film – You’re in the mood for something new and exciting, maybe you’ll even discover a new favourite film.
- Play Sun Bingo – With weekend deals like the Superstar session and Super Powerhouse offer, there’s plenty of excitement waiting in Sun Bingo’s bingo rooms every Friday and Saturday.

The weekend – reality
Here’s what really happens:
- Wake up early – Someone, most likely your kids or pet, will disturb your sleep.
- A rushed breakfast – Despite the early start, the day is already somehow getting away from you. The kids and dog are desperate to get to the park.
- Getting to the park – There’s already been an argument about if coats are needed and whether anyone needs the toilet. Despite them saying no, someone now needs the loo. That sunny day has already left and the clouds have rolled in.
- The chores don't stop – There’s a reason chore and bore rhyme. The washing is a mountain, there's an ironing pile and the house needs a clean and hoover through.
- A long wait for that take away – Seems like the rest of the nation have ordered food as well!
- Which film? You want a comedy, your partner wants a thriller. There’s a high chance you end up watching the Harry Potter or Bridget Jones reruns on ITV.
- Play Sun Bingo – Finally, something where the expectation is as good as the reality! Sun Bingo provides a great evening’s entertainment with plenty of chances to win prizes!
WHAT'S THE ULTIMATE WEDDING SONG?
Whether you’re a superhero who can magic up a weekend that goes according to plan, or you’ve had to adapt to unexpected changes, the main thing is you’re having fun and making good memories!
