Weekend.

So this weekend has been fairly productive. Took my cousins Millie(12) and Keir(11) bowling with my brother Thomas for support. Think they both enjoyed it, Keir lacked the patience required to improve and did end up coming last, and we did have to put the bumpers up which was a shame. Tom won both games and Millie and I took turns being second.

After some lunch Keir was whisked away to the campsite where he is staying for the next week. I was then left with some time to move some things round my room under the title of 'tidying'. We were also without power for about an hour as a tree was knocking against the supply cables and so EDF had to shut the power off whilst they sorted out the tree, this did minimise my distractions for a while. We then had Millies friend from next door over and invited her to stay for the a Chinese take out. (Nan and Grandad had gone out to a do.) They both jumped into my car as I was going to order the Chinese so they kept me amused whilst I was waiting for the food to be cooked. Chinese wasn't as good as usual, they(The Royal Taste) seemed to have overcooked the rice. I prefer the noodles though so I wasn't affected. My aunt Penny managed to knock over her drink onto the duck though. Duck definitely being the highlight of the meal. We managed to save most of it though!

Then today I got some washing done and hung out, then went to the gym for my induction and was introduced to the powerplate, had been eyeing them up for months but hadn't got round to asking how to use them and starting at a new gym seemed like the ideal time. I then came home and showered and grabbed some lunch. Then said bye to Millie who was also off to camp.Quite jealous of them both sounds like they will be doing some great things, Keir gets to stay overnight on a boat in the Thames, and Millie gets to go on a day trip to France.Then I went to Lakeside shopping centre to spend yet more money. En-route as I sailed past the junction I should have taken it occurred to me that I normally took my sat nav with me to Lakeside. This resulted on the trip being slightly longer than intended as I ended up taking a slightly longer route there. Then in an attempt to save time(It was 3pm and stores close at 5pm!) I attempted to park close to Primark (my primary target) but instead ended up being trapped into going into a multi-story down the end I frequent least! Doh! Rushed around Primark picking up everything there was a chance might look good and got in the queue, an hour and £130 later I was moving on to Next where I got a fab dress and some much needed jeans. I must confess the jeans are a wee bit tight, but I can get into them and I can walk, what more do I need ?!?!  Had a quick look in New Look, Debenhams, JDSports (bought a gym top) and Sports Direct and my time was up! Went home and my uncle David was just back from dropping Millie off at camp so got him to look at my car which had been sounding different. Apparently I probably need a new back box, more money! Went in and tried all the clothes on and showed Penny and my Nanna Dawn. Have isolated about half the Primark goods to return so hopefully should be able to recoup £70 at least. Have added them to the pile of things I need to take back next weekend. Then set about folding things into draws. Had leftover Chinese for dinner(Healthy honest *guilty look*) then resumed my folding.

Could do with a longer weekend. Have put things in bag so I can go to gym tomorrow. Can't decide if I should go to one in London (Virgin doing a month where you can go to any of their gyms) or just stick to a local one. May as well make most of London one I guess.
