I don't get the British mentality that they always have to be doing something, going somewhere. I haven't had a holiday in 8 years. Haven't had time or money. It's definitely a british thing because Australian friends of mine don't seem to have the same yearnings. I didn't feel the need to do something or go somewhere every weekend when I lived in the UK, US or Canada. Life just takes over when you work full time so I would love to know where everyone finds the time. Weekends are for shopping, housework and other mundane crap.
