We’d hitch a lift over to Stratford Upon On Avon, to go the discotheque at the Drake Rooms.
We’d each buy, a barley wine and dance to music by Junior Walker, the Four Tops, Temptations, Lee Dorsey, Spencer Davis and many more.
When l was married and the children were young, we looked forward to and loved our ‘Friday Steak Night’ at home.
My husband would always say, TGIF

Re: That Friday Feeling
Arty, you stirred up some great memories.At university, my brother and I bought a popular college hangout that only served beer and snacks, so Friday afternoon I would be stocking up, getting the muscians set up, and getting the ready for what was always the biggest night of the week. Because I worked another job to feed the business, and was taking courses full time, a free Friday night was as rare as a radium.
If had a date (did I ever?
) or was going out with friends, I would often use my budgeted food money for the next week to buy a new dress. Priorites, you see. I rarely go out - repsonsibilities, dogs, happy at home and all
, but I do still get that feeling and try to build in a little fun like kayaking, taking the dogs to the beach for sunset, cleaning out the refrigerator/freezer, washing the wood floors, scrubbing bathrooms, or sorting laundry. Ooo, I am a wild thing! 
But I still feel like like Friday - once a week!
Now what to do, what to do....
Better, what are your plans?

Re: That Friday Feeling
We both retired 9 years ago but we both still have that Friday feeling. Our home gets a thorough clean on a Friday. Pulling out furniture, changing bed linen etc. That's work out of the way.My husband meets his friends in the evening, for a few drinks and to sort the world's problems out.
I have some close friends and each Friday one of us will cook some food and we all make the effort to dress nicely and put on some make up. We put on some music and have a drink or three. There is always something to chat about.
Saturday is an evening out together for a meal, either by ourselves or with one of our daughter's and family
Sunday is a Sunday roast at home with usually, some of the family.
I really look forward to our weekends.
So yes I still have that Friday feeling.

Re: That Friday Feeling
Actually Tango this thread made me laugh because yesterday my daughter rang me upset, when I asked her what was wrong she said I thought today was Friday and I just realised it's Thursday!On the plus side, Summer - two Friday feelings for your daughter in the same week, albeit temporarily.
