Long Weekend

So it is Queens Birthday weekend starting in a couple of hours Yippee!! Im so looking forward to having some sleep ins. Have got quite a busy weekend planned too. My parents are having their bathroom remodelled at the moment and Steve and his dad are doing that for them, so Steve has to work tomorrow so I'm going to go out with him and get mum to teach me how to sew - like put buttons on and things like that. I am useless with that sort of stuff and would like to get better, eventually buy myself a sewing machine and make clothes! Thats the plan anyways haha. So that will be great because I have heaps of clothes (mainly trousers) that are missing a button so I cant wear them.

It has been a beautiful day today, but apparently is set to rain all weekend which is annoying because I have lots of washing and I wanted to get out into the garden and do some weeding / pruning / planting. That might not happen.

Also I started doing some exercise the other night and want to keep going with that - I have been skipping. So I'm going to combine that with walking and hopefully will be able to get a bit more fit, and hopefully I can stick to this because I always have some excuse for not doing things.

Steve wanted to go fishing this weekend, and I said yes but only if it wasnt raining so we will have to see how that goes as well. Thought we could go to the beach first and go for a walk and then go fishing off the rocks somewhere.

Also I started doing a new cross stitch the a couple of weeks ago so I'm hoping to work on that as well and get a decent amount done. I have a big winnie the pooh one that I would love to do but it looks rather hard so I have been putting it off. This new one is a little frangipani picture.

I have to also do a lot of cleaning work as we had a garage sale at a friends place the other weekend and our place now looks like a bomb site! Have so many things to put away and not enough places to put them! Luckily Steve tidied up the garage the other day so it looks a lot better down there and we can actually move around! So now its my job to get the house up to standard! (UGH!)

Going to try and remember to get a lamb roast out of the freezer (or go and buy a chicken one) and cook that maybe on sunday night.

Also I am working on a parcel for one of my friends who is pregnant, due in September. So I need to do some more work on that and get it sent off to her! I have been rather slack and meant to get it off a few weeks ago but that never happened. MUST NOT PROCRASTINATE!!!

Speaking of procrastinating thats another thing I have to do this weekend, is to do my thank you notes from the wedding. It will be 3 months since we were married in just 2 days so its about time I got it done. Have printed off all the photos so now I just need to get them stuck on the cards, write on them and send them off! But have been procrastinating because I dont really want to do it LOL

AND if that wasn't enough things to do, I'm sure that Steve will want me to do some more baking for work lunches and things so will probably do that as well.....

that is if we dont end up going somewhere like Auckland (which I have a feeling could happen). If we do I might see if we can go for a drive out to Piha or somewhere that I havent been before. I have seen some lovely photos of Piha so would like to go and take some myself! And there are some lovely views up in the Waitakeres too. Or else we could go to the zoo again, they have a giraffe baby that I would love to see - i Love giraffes!! Or else we could go shopping, or go to the botanic gardens, but again most of those things depend on (how much money we have) and if the weather will be fine.

Well thats probably enough drivel from me for one day.... over & out!
