boring sundays
I agree that Sundays are the very hardest day. When mine were smaller I always used to try and make Saturday an action-packed day so that on Sunday we were all glad just to mooch around a bit.
Alisoncam has a good suggestion with netmums, or you could look in your local paper for groups in general (not particualrly single parents, for example there is a conservation group round here that does nature walks on a Sunday morning) If you're feeling flush, there is the cinema (expensive treat) or why not get involved in the local SPAN study centre where you can meet other single parents and organise your own activities?

Hi greengoddess
Sundays can be a tough one, I agree. I tend to do my weekly shop on a Sunday these days, then prepare Sunday dinner, which we seem to eat at about 3.30-4ish, then just chill in front of the telly.
Do you have friends and family in the area?? Is there a market local to you? Or what about swimming? Do you and your daughter do any crafts together. This is the ideal time for you to have quality time together, (yes I know that you spend ALL you time together :) ) Perhaps you can ask her what she would like to do on Sundays and then let take up the day??
What does everyone else do on a Sunday??
Hi greenegoddess
I guess all of us single parents feel the same. I agree that Sundays are boring, and weekends especially are hard. I suppose we have just got to make the most of it, normally at weekends, I do homework and then play games with my son. He is 7 like your daughter. He does amuse himself at this age, which is great, but also he gets bored playing on his own! I don't go to groups, but find lots to do with him.
Have you looked on netmums? These groups are useful, and give out lots of stuff to do.
Wishing you well.
