Give me strength.

Is there anyone that is going to challenge these findings.

My husband is nowhere near as happy at the weekend. He has MS and a full, full time job ...so he keeps himself on the rollercoaster during the week. At the weekend he has time to think about his condition and symptoms, so is generally not very nice to be around and he also gives into the tiredness and often has a sleep. So there's one for you!

I'd put down more to a few Strongbows...

Sorry, I'd put the "weekend effect" down to a few Strongbows...

what about the saturday migraine - much the same as le chats husband - you keep going during the week and when your body gets a chance to relax - pain rears its ugly head !

Obviously not everyone is going to feel the same, but I'm willing to bet more folk look forward to the weekend than who dread it. And why would that be ?

[Naomicorlett]

I dont cos old misery guts isnt at work !!!

[Gromit]

I like my job, but I also like not doing my job at weekend, so I do not feel a great weekend effect. I miss answerbank at weekend, but I am not prepared to waste my own time on it, I prefer to be paid while answering AOGs questions.

[R1Geezer]

Not sure why these finding need challenging old git, I think most enjoy weekends is that a bad thing?

[kawakiri]

I'm usually happier, until the Trouble puts the boot in!

[ummmm]

I love weekends :-)

When I worked I looked forward to the weekend and then on Saturdays tiredness hit me the day was a total waste. On Sundays when I felt better there was loads to do in the house and the thought of returning to work was quite depressing. Mind you in the last decade of my working life I had pretty demanding jobs.

Great to be retired!!

I love naomi's answer!!!

I hate Sundays (always have) but I love Fridays adn Saturdays... And randomly I'm quite fond of Tuesdays too.

[LoftyLottie]

Sundays become a whole lot better when you are retired China, not that you are anywhere near that!!

[jackthehat]

As I'm self-employed and my partner works in the hospitality industry, weekends have precious little meaning for us............

[hoodoovoodoo]

Aah the weekends.....when most of us can throw down our shackles and enjoy three days of hedonism before returning to the drudgery of monotonous punishment we call "Work"

[LoftyLottie]

Three day weekends hoodoovoodoo - I didn't realise they had been invented yet :o)

I was always under the impression that one got paid for doing an honest days work, not playing about on AB on the firms computers,

No wonder the country is in such a mess, there are plenty out there that would be only be too willing to put in a full days work for a full days pay, given the chance.
