Weekend plans?

Have you ventured to Westfield yet? That could fill plenty of hours.

Tonight I'm doing the housework as I'm out all day tomorrow Christmas shopping with my sister. We have a real full on girly shopping day planned and I'm very excited.

Saturday night we have friends over for dinner, Xfactor / SCD and the usual Saturday night TV.

Sunday I have a nail appointment then food shopping then no doubt homework with the kids.

I'm working tomorrow. Meh.

Ikea (cringe at the thought) so don't take inspiration from me?

Ive got a few drinks work when we finish. Normally turns into a few bottles and a cab home!!

Tomorrow I am going away with my lovely boyfriend as it's our 6 month anniversary ? No idea where we are going, just looking on laterooms now ?

Chicken, there is a champagne bar at The Westfield ?

We have brother in law & his wife this weekend. They're staying in a hotel in South Kensington but coming to us for dinner tonight - they've never seen our flat.

Tomorrow morning we're taking them to Borough Market then leaving them for the afternoon to potter by themselves - probably a thames walk. We'll be retiring to a pub to watch the rugby.

Tomorrow night we're taking them to dinner in Covent Garden.

Sunday - really must start to do some packing for our holiday that leaves a week today.

No inspiration from me - Ive got the ball ache of wedding dress shopping. Still, wine, takeaway and X Factor to look forward to afterwards.

Riley and I are taking part in the Kennel Club Safe and Sound demonstration at Discover Dogs all weekend. Riley is pretending to be asleep in her bed while children play around her and I am playing the bad mother who leaves her children alone with the dog. It all works out fine in the end though and the children learn how to approach dogs, what not to and what to do if dogs are around etc.

Aww, bless Riley. Where's that?

Earl's Court. It's been fine in rehearsals, but she might be stressed by the sheer numbers of people there so we have a back up plan in case she's not up to performing. I'm not going to stress her unnecessarily.

Hmm cant think of anything for you but I am going to meet H's work mates (and all the other staff and girls at the school). He works in a private girls school and they are having a BBQ and fireworks night for the girls and staff so we are going. Im very nervous, meeting them all at once is going to be scary and I am going to worry about what all of them think about me (I have depression so that doesnt help and Im a big person so always worry what people think anyway). Im trying to focus on the fireworks ?

Riley is so clever ?

Hope it goes well.

Hope it goes well - keep us posted. I've been looking at volunteering somehow with dogs but dog's trust near me don't need me. Any ideas?

You'll be fine, Zoe. Hope you enjoy it.

Have you tried The Mayhew Animal Home - it's Willesden Junction so not too far from you?

Tonight - bugger all

Tomorrow - We are all going to the fireworks display at Ravenscourt Park, I think the gates open about 6ish.

Sunday - bugger all

? what an exciting life I lead.

Thanks Chicken <weak smile>

Sorry no inspiration from me either, we will be visiting the mortgage advisor on Saturday morning, then doing some minor DIY and decluttering ready for the Estate Agent arriving on Monday to take pix and measure up before the house goes on the market. All v boring.

Thanks Boop, will give them a try. ?

We're off to a bonfire party tonight.

Tomorrow we're off to see an IFA about a new mortgage and then we'll be heading down to Wembley to see Queen ?

Sunday I'll be baking another Christmas cake.

My 69 year old father is out doing some missionary work just now on the Gaza strip, so we all have to keep my mother busy so she doesn't fret. This weekend, it's my turn to be on Mother Watch. Hangover permitting, tonight I'm going to spin and yoga, then out for dinner with mummy and some of my friends. Then I'm dragging her Christmas shopping tomorrow (this is unheard of- we are usually 24 december trolly dashers ?) and then seeing a band at night. Sunday, if dry, I'm going to hike up the Cobbler for my last munro of the year (although I think snow may be forecast ?). Got a family dinner on Sunday night. Also, at some point, a pair of stinky recalcitrant pugs are going to be duped into getting into the bath for a scrubbing. They will haaaaate me. ?

WT where are you moving to!?

Not great plans here. Its Gran's 80th so we have a lunch on Sunday, not many of us coming, and she didn't want a fuss, so expect it won't be anything too wild!

I think I might be heading to Portobello Market tomorrow for a Saturday morning mooch-around, and then I want to go to the [whisper] Museum of Brands, Packaging and Advertising ?

Tonight involves wine and a takeaway. Tomorrow is housework and then drinks with friends in the afternoon. Sat night plans are a bit sketchy at the moment but I think I am out for dinner. Sunday I am working - boo hiss.

I have an extreemly boring weekend planned.

H is working a double shift tomorrow so i'm going to get my hair cut, may venture into town to do a bit of Christmas shopping.

Sunday H and I are off so i'm wanting to go out somewhere for the day, not sure where though really.

Ooooh, that sounds fab! LOML and I would love it. <fellowgeekicon>

Tonight will be wine, hot bath and a relaxing evening by myself

Tomorrow i'am starting my xmas shopping and then x-factor, wine and take-away with friends tomorrow night

Sunday i'am going to take my Grandfather to the remembrance service and watch him lay the wreath then a pub lunch with alot of war veterans.

Tonight: housework

Tomorrow: last advanced driving 'lesson' before my 'test' next week, followed by lunch and shopping at Cabot Circus, then boring food shopping.

Sunday: Gardening if it's dry...or more specifically weeding, as they are taking over, a couple of DIY jobs and maybe a visit to an Orange shop to talk about upgrading my phone handset.

Tonight: Going to the rugby, nothing exciting just the team the future MrMwnci supports/does photography stuff for. He should also be picking up my engagement ring today (or rather his grandmother's engagement ring which will need to be considerably resized to go anywhere near my shovel-like hands, I've not even seen it yet but I'm so excited)

Tomorrow: Wales v South Africa and probably some shopping while we're in sunny Cardiff.

Sunday: Off to Ikea to buy the kitchen, then some large-scale Tetris attempting to get the boxes into our car and my parents' Paj.

Hopefully there'll be a fair amount of fizzy wine drinking happening too and some random wedding bits and bobs - joy(!)

We are driving down to Portsmouth tonight to spend the weekend with one of our best mates, can't wait!

I'm going to london! Annie Liebowitz exhibition and then some stuff at Olympia, lovely dinner and nice hotel with a mooch around somewhere sunday before heading back.

tonight. nothing much.

I have no inspiration for you as I have nothing planned tomorrow. On Sunday I have a very exciting day. I'm going to meet my dad's half sister for the very first time. My grandad had a relationship before he met my nan and she had a daughter that my dad knew nothing about until this time last year! My grandad never met his daughter which is sad really as his partner never told my grandad that she was preggers and moved away before she had the baby. They have met up a couple of times since then but I've not met her. She's coming up to meet us at my mum and dad's house. I'm excited to meet her. I've seen a photo of her and its weird because she really looks like my grandad. My dad has spent his whole life as an only child, as has she so its lovely that they've both go someone now, even if my dad is 53!

Weekend plans? Nowt much, will try and visit Uncle Ho as his Mausoleum & House re-open on Sunday after refurbishment and retouching his make-up, so could be interesting... I haven't any wellingtons here, so will be dodging flooded paths and I want to try some local beer. ?
