Bye bye weekend

How come the weekends always manage to disappear so quickly? Can't believe its back to work again tomorrow.... 


The long weekend was much needed, although don't think I've yet caught up on sleep as I'm still pooped.... but what is it they say? You'll sleep when you're dead? Who needs sleep anyway lol?!


This weekend has been pretty good to be honest. 
Spent Friday doing a few bits and pieces around the house. Got busy with the old Birmingham hammer in Munch's shed, now it's at the top of the garden, trying to attach it to the base. It gets very noisy hammering in such a small space, think my ears were ringing for a little while after ;0)


The bloke came round for a curry on Friday night which was nom nom yummy (especially as it meant I wasn't cooking!) and then he spent Saturday here building my steps in the back garden. I was going to do it myself to start with but after my attempt at footings a week or two ago I thought better of it if I wanted them to stay put and not be a health and safety risk! 
I might have a go at pretty much anything once but I also know my limits and sometimes its smarter to admit defeat and get it done properly than do a piss poor job that then needs re-doing!! And anyway, the boy did a sterling job on them.... now all that's left to do at the top of the garden is to get someone in to do the decking! I'll tackle doing the turfing.....


I wasn't completely lazy though while he did the steps.... I cut the grass out the front and back, tidied up the patio area, broke down the fence panels some more, and cleaned the BBQ a bit. And since the broom is fooked, most the sweeping was done with the little hand held dustpan. Not the most efficient way of doing it lol! Need to buy a new broom me thinks!!


The BBQ Saturday evening turned out to be a good laugh. Had nine or so friends over, drinks and BBQ food as I have been celebrating the fact that the house is mine..... OK may be slightly premature in the fact that I haven't yet completed, but all the paperwork has been signed and knob head has sent his back so it shouldn't be long now, and it was just that this weekend being a bank holiday and one where I didn't have munch, it seemed to good an opportunity to pass up!
Even the bloke stayed round for the BBQ which was good, I'm glad he's had chance to see that none of my friends hold anything against him, they still like him as he's a decent bloke.... and it meant I could pay him back for helping me out by giving him a decent night out without it costing the earth!


Think everyone enjoyed playing arsonist though as the BBQ turned into a fire pit as the evening went on.... ALL the wood i had for the fireplace got burned, including the fence panels I'd broken down that day! Well it kept us all warm lol!


Sunday was spent recovering a little bit in the morning (and smelling like a burnt kipper until we'd jumped through the shower), and then operation clean up! And boy.... we could all put away the alcohol looking at the number of empties!!!


Having the bloke round this weekend was nice, not just because he had helped me out a lot by doing my building and with operation clean-up on Sunday, but it was just nice having a bit of a giggle with him...... it's just a real shame that I'm obviously not the one that makes his heart skip every time he sees me, as other than that we get on so well, in so many ways, and majority of the time, being around him to me feels like what home should be, just wish that was how he felt with me, as that's what it is all about at the end of the day...... so much starts with the head rush and butterflies but it's the substance you are left with when all that subdues (and it does) that ends up being the important part?!?! 
I guess if he does end up staying down here it will be because of someone else he has met?


Today was just spent chilling out with the munchkin. Went and got his birds nest of hair cut as his dad has been a waste of space in sorting it out. Getting his hair cut is usually something he will do, but for the past two weeks it's just been one excuse after another..... from "I forgot" (seriously how did you miss it when you look at him?) to "I couldn't afford it" (but you can afford a wedding?). Stuff him, sorted it out myself so at least he know looks like a boy again!!


Right, time to get ready for the second week of the school holidays and then things can go back to normal again then.... thank fook!
