Default How did you spend today?

Given that it was a long weekend in Australia (ACT/NSW/SA), how did you spend it?



Wisely, I hope?

Ah, but we are clever. We say "she'll be right" and things look after themselves.

Not in OZ yet, but in UK, and this is how we spend our weekend, need a few days to get over it thought.

On Saturday had viewer, then rushed up to blue water for daughter birthday present then queued up for an hour to be served , to buy couple of pairs trainers, then lost the OH, in blue water, then mobile had flat battery, couldn't reach him, then drive like mad to get home before another viewer get there.
Then on Sunday clean up the house for yet another lot of viewers, run to Tesco got home to do the ironing, then the viewer came back for second viewing with her children, of course the house didnt stay as tidy as the morning, but it serves them right for coming unannounced.
Then on Sunday taking the family to the Rain Forest cafe for our daughter birthday treat.
We got home in the evening, and did the rest of ironing.
Now waiting for a call from the garage to pick my car up, hope it passes the MOT. :scared:

Self-employed - no holiday here either. Did take an extended lunch-break and splash around in the pool though.
