Thursday Thread Pt35
 
What's everyone doing this weekend then?
Not long to survive this blissfully short week, thank goodness for that!

We're bombing up to AD tonight for a chilled, relaxing weekend. We've had, in the last 6 weeks, three sets of visitors and then over the long weekend someone else's visitor who we ended up doing loads with. It's been intense, all whilst at the same time both our jobs have been flat out and mine somewhat unpleasant.

Still, a weekend of seeing friends, chilling out, few beers, pool time and reading. Lovely.

You should try spinning.

M&S at Festival City starts discounting the stuff at 3pm. It's the only time to visit. :thumbup:

I have to cram 12 lessons into 10 days hence the daily thing!
Festival City is too far for me and especially at 3pm

What is spinning? is it the same as bouncing? What Mission does? For the life of me I cant figure it out. My mental image keeps on coming up with something to do with cricket :D
I have quite a ton of work for tomorrow so it will be a late night back from office, I should think Baileys and Beer for tonight. Although the weather is great these nights and I am sure I will be forced to do some for of BBQ on the roof. I moan and groan all the time while doing it but deep down inside I enjoy it!

How was everyone's weekend then?

I played golf really badly (first bad round in a while which was upsetting) but thoroughly enjoyed it.
Did some Xmas shopping yesterday morning, had a nap, watched a film and generally chilled out. Bloody lovely.

I feel like I didn't have a weekend - two mental days of christmas shopping, broken only by a surprise party for my birthday. Didn't get a chance to rest until about 10pm last night. All good though.

Was the surprise that I wasn't there? Happy Birthday though.

Spinnning is a 45 minute cycle on a static bike locked in a dark room with the music on full blast
Google Soul Cycle. It is hard going but worth it for the 800 calories i burn!
