I find that the weekends, can be relaxing but also boring and lonely as everyone that have the family around..?

No. I don't have a partner and have no family whatsoever. I sometimes feel alone, but not lonely. I've accepted the situation.

I am almost always alone at weekends but never feel lonely. On Saturdays I go shopping then come home to eat and use the computer whilst listening to the radio. I might receive a phone call from one of my children or I might call one myself but not necessarily. Tonight I will be doing a pile of ironing (something I do about once every 3 weeks when there is enough for it to be worth my while and I'll have the radio on or some C.Ds. playing. I am happy with my own company for a lot of the time.

Tomorrow I will be in church for about one and half hours and then home for the day. I sometimes go for a walk Sunday afternoons if the sun is shining.

I have no family. I'm also retired. Therefore, there is no difference between my weekends and my week days.

Every morning, while I'm having coffee, I write up a schedule of what has to be done. I live in a house, and therefore I seem to have lots of chores. I also have a very demanding, affectionate cat.

I also have a lot of friends. I'm either talking with them on the phone, or meeting them for a meal or activity.

If your weekends are boring, you need to find someplace you can go regularly at those times. I go to water exercise. That not only gives me exercise, but it has given me a whole new group of friends.

I also belong to some clubs- not senior clubs, just clubs that are interesting to me- folk music, philosophy, a coffee break at a local art center, etc.

I also do volunteer work. Right now, I visit a woman in her 90's once a week. I used to do Meals on Wheels, until a bad hip made the driving difficult.

I believe that you need to do some research. Find out what's in your area that you'd enjoy, and can physically do.

No. I belong to a Writer's Group that meets at the Library on every other Saturday.I also work with a Social Justice group.

I sew as a hobby in addition to writing. So I usually have a couple of projects going and plenty of people so see.

Libraries are a good place to check out. some people go to church for the same reason. (The Episcopal church is a good one.) Clubs, hobbies, work at food pantries, classes, volunteering at animal shelters. Lots of things to do.

I love the weekdays and hate to see the weekends roll around for that very reason. I am widowed. It's just me and my dog. I have children around me but they are all busy with their activities of which I have little interest. So, the highlight of my weekend will probably be a trip to the dog park. TV is abysmal on weekends!

I'm not alone all week or week ends and it's boring at times even though there is someone here. Don't get out and about much like I use to so it can get boring setting around and staring off into space. Don't like to read so I don't do that. I spend to much time on the computer.

I've got the whole place to myself today. Husband's golfing, just me, the 2 dogs and a cat and miles of open fields. The nearest paved road is 2 miles away. My plans are to hang out clothes and sheets as soon as they are done and after that, whatever happens.

Nope. Just got back from a trip on the Ghan and out to Uluru. Camel rides are anything but boring; especially for old men in loose boxers when they run.

yes, it can be lonely. I've had my out of state family here all week. I know when they leave later today I will feel very lonely until I get back into my regular routine.

weekends are definitely a mixed bag for me, as my routine changes somewhat - mostly home time, never sure if my niece will hang out all day in my office or not hsow up at all... so, sometimes too relaxing, sometimes too active, sometimes boring too...
