Guest Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Well the long weekend is upon us, I was wondering what you are all up to. I am at a children's birthday party on Saturday, a wedding on Sunday and hopefully gardening on Monday. Is anyone up to anything exciting?

Guest Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I'm camping out in the back garden with 3 of my sons on Saturday - Dad's bottled out and is staying indoors to look after the dogs! Sunday we're off on a fishing trip and on Monday we're going to watch my 9 year old maypole dancing at a local church fete. All of these require a degree of good weather so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Sally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I'm off to a scarecrow festival somewhere in Wiltshire tomorrow which is a brilliant event, the kids love it!! The rest of the weekend will be spent clearing up my muddly house and I must finish my Forest School Assignment at some time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 and there I was thinking of adding a post about 'how many balls do you juggle in your everyday life...' when this one came along instead! Our church are doing a weekend of social action which means helping practically in the local community, not being a group of people who meet together on a sunday! Today I went to meet two different people in our village who have asked for help, my job being to do a risk assessment prior to tackling their jobs. The first was an old dear who is disabled and wants her front garden dug over and tidied. I had to close my mind to the horrendous pong in her house which I suspect came from this ancient poodle. Anyway she clearly needed a chat and it transpired having had lovely neighbours for years she now has a young family next door who have demolished her boundary, attached stuff to her wall that she worries about all night long, and unbelievably they chuck their rubbish into her back garden!!! What is wrong with people these days???? Then as she relaxed she became dreadfully emotional and said she was oh so worried that this last remaining dog was ill! When I asked she said she had to get a taxi to the vets if it needed treatment, noone would take her.......... So, my saturday will be spent on helping other people, preparing food for those actually doing the hands on stuff as I've got a food hygiene certificate - there's a surprise, and also on call as the emergency first-aider if needed. Do you know? its not a chore at all cos I do not want to be one of those people who are so wrapped up in themselves that they don't have time for others, but I know you lot are givers too, not takers! Preaching to the converted here aren't I? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Having a night off with a drink .Up early to catch up on some work then depending on the weather garden or decorating that wasn't finished at Easter then there's ironning, fresh bedding, a vacum and a clean kitchen floor-it would be SO nice to go back to work Tuesday TOTALLY up to date with household duties.

Running Bunny Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I'm currently at my parents with Eva having a wonderful few days. Hubby is stripping paint off a radiator tomorrow, so wanted us away from the toxins. Managed to catch up with a few friends, show Eva off to mum's friends and getting mum to help me make some rainbow fish curtains for Eva's room (aren't mums great?!) Going to an organ recital in Leeds on Monday, which will be very relaxing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rea Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 then there's ironning, fresh bedding, a vacum and a clean kitchen floor-it would be SO nice to go back to work Tuesday TOTALLY up to date with household duties. Pray tell which fantasy land you live in and then I can join you. Even I'm starting to get embaressed with the state of things! I have no plans for the weekend, but things had better improve on how its started. Im a regular Cinderella tonight, ironing, preparing, taxi-ing, and now I'm sitting here waiting to start the round of collections. Have a good one everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dublinbay Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 My daughter's 15th birthday today - we're not wanted really, just to drive her to the restaurant where she'll celebrate with her friends and on to a sleepover. I suppose that's what growing up is all about. I've bought new net curtains and will have to wash the windows before I put them up!!! So that's a job for today. That and pressure washing the patio. We have a large patio area so will probably last into tomorrow too. Monday is assignment and study day. My hubby is off to Spain on Tuesday for a ten day bike ride for charity. He's done one every year for many years and he always find somewhere exotic to do it in. Anyway if there's anything I need doing in the garden this weekend is the only time I can get him to do it. Aren't we sad - what looks like a beautiful weekend and what do the most of us do.............housework or study!!!!!!!! VERY SAD!!! Good luck to you Laura hope everything goes as expected for the birth of your baby!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Study, look after the children and horses and dogs and feel more tired than I have ever been in my life. People say to me 'How do you do it all?" My answer at the moment is "NOT VERY WELL" - wish I had more family support, but then I am not very good at accepting help when it is given, I am ridiculously independent to the point of cut-of-my-nose-to spite-my face - sorry to be gloomy, life seems particularly hard at the moment. Here's my brave face to put on it, (it masks the tears inside!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rea Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Oh shirel, have a virtual hug from me. I'm just that sort of person. Doesnt matter whats going on my response is always 'I'm fine'. Why do we do it? Have as good a weekend as you can. And start delegating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreamay Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 oh Shirel if i was nearer I would come and help you Thats the problem with keeping animals isnt it? All the work that goes with it!!! Keep your chin up Andrea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 (edited) Thanks you two, just spent an hour mucking out and came in for a cup of tea, (just clicked on - like you do) it is lovely to have the virtual support here, feel better already, better get on with it. thanks again, really means a lot. I have so much to be gratfeul for, and am very lucky with my healthy and happy family. I always feel a pang of guilt for moaning about being tired when I have a very nice life, and a life I chose.
