Diary of a weekend

* Started with a Pizza Hut takeaway (note to self: stop eating Pizza Hut food, it's rank)
* Watched Harry Potter 3 (way better than I remembered)
* Went to work agaaaaain (sigh)
* Went everse shopping (second note to self: stop buying things only to take them back)
* Sleeping (need more of that)
* Finished Harry Potter 6 (didn't cry this time but still cool)
* Started Harry Potter 7 (awesome!)
* Read Module 10 (excited about this one)
* Fruity smoothies (yum)
* Went interior design window shopping (felt like I was in a different city today, we went to so many previously unexplored shops - Perfect Pad, Wesley-Barrel, Mark Elliot)
* Had tea and scones in John Lewis (is it a sign of getting old when you start to love department stores?)
* Cycled to our house which finally has internal walls (woop!)
* Watched House (up to series 2 now, still loving it)
* And Top Gear (actually got bored and read Easy Living during this episode, weird)
* Had ides about fabric and dress and peg bag ideas and thought about how busy my sewing machine is going to be when I've saved up for it.

Yay for weekends. Four working days now until a long weekend in Wales (on Ben's birthday again!) and the rest of the week off.

New blog

Robert is aiming to stay sober for the next six months and update his new blog every day. He's much more than an interesting read!

Things in my head

Sorry I haven't blogged for so long. Working lots of overtime lately which is going to make an awesome July pay cheque but not good for keeping up with superfluous extras.

House purchase is going okay. We're getting a bit lost in all the legal jargon and stuff but we have a pretty nice mortgage broker and have instructed a recommended solicitor now. There's a pile of paperwork building up on the dining table that I keep meaning to read through. Urghh.

Florence and the Machine's first album is coming out on 6 July. I don't normally keep up with modern music, not being very cool (MySpace describes her/them as "Grindcore / Acousmatic / Tape music / Melodramatic Popular Song", I don't really understand any of those terms) but Florence Welch's amazingly powerful voice caught my ear.

Ben's birthday is coming up in next month (it's all about July today which seems weird, June has flown by without me realising) and he said he'd like to go on the London Eye. I was looking up ticket prices for trains and other things to do and thought it would be cool to see Harry Potter 6 at the IMAX cinema in 3D - I don't know WHY that hasn't occurred to me before! Mega excited :)

I've been thinking about lots of things lately including reading the book How to Win Friends and Influence People and how to improve my people skills especially at work, wondering if I really want to stick out church boringness, and other things. It's all such hard work and my brain is tired. Oh, and I'm supposed to finish my never ending interior design course by the end of July. Thus as per normal a month after our holiday I need another one!!
