I used to go horse riding on sundays and spent most of my time on the floor or in ditches...not good at staying on horse! Sunday night was my bath night too as there was no way I could go to school with half of derbyshire stuck to me. My mum used to warm my nightie on the radiator for me and I remember watching bulls eye and the onedin line.

SUnday nights here too, I remember my Mum trying to scrub my suntan marks off once! I come from an Irish family and she thought it had to be a dirty neck instead of a tan on that pale skin of ours LOL

Yup. Sunday night. And no central heating upstairs for us, so it was downstairs to dry in front of a bar on the fire. I seem to remember eating Nutty bars (those ones with the nuts on the outside), while drying and watching To The Manor Born, or Hart to Hart.


And I'm sure I remember (though maybe my parents wouldn't admit it), that I could get out of bath night if the following week was a half-term. Why waste money heating water and getting me clean for just playing out in mud, brooks and scrapyards?

Only on Sunday had we dessert & yes, Sun night was Muppet night. As a smaller kid still, our cousins used to call some Sundays. We'd be sent outside or to another room when The Riordans came on at 8pm.

Sunday night too!
Wasn't Sunday night Muppet night too?

There were three in our family, we would have a bath on sunday, and there was a rota to see who had to get out first and who got to stay in the bath longer with time to play in the water

did anyone else used to on a sunday night have sandwiches and trifle and jelly whilst watching bullseye? me and a few friends were discussing this and they did too.

Sunday was bath night in our house when i was a youngster. I knew it was time for my bath cos you could hear the Hart to Hart music going off on the TV just after Bullseye had finished :-)

[xmark1234]

My mum used to scrub us with the flannel until it stung, I still wince to this day when I see one!

It was bath and then maybe if we were lucky, Tales of the Unexpected!
