It's the weekend!

So I get another weekend off in a row and I am wondering what I will do. Last week was so planned and now this weekend seems to be a bit of an undecided thing.

So Mark went to his free session of hypnotherapy this morning and dropped me off in town to do some more clothes shopping. Within less than an hour I was back at home having purchased a pair of jeans, red funky trousers, a sporty cotton dress and some very nice underwear - all for under £50.

Turns out, the therapy guy was a bit creepy although he did make a couple of good observations. This hasn't purturbed Mark in the slightest which is good. On Monday he is going to ring around some more places.

When we got back John came round for a cuppa and stayed to play Grand Theft Auto 4. What a hard game. Thanks Dom!!! Very kind of you to leave it with us...I think!

John proceeded to tell us that he'd bought a new car. After all that that man has said about this certain model, we had to laugh out loud about his choice. It is an old style white BMW - which to all of us friends stands for Bavarian Motor Wanker....from experience, the people who drive these cars think they own the bloody roads. Besides that , the colour etc, suggests that Johnny has gone Bling Bling and Chav on us!!! We couldn't help but laugh!!

In the afternoon Mark and I drove over to Hayling Island to visit my sister and her kids and then on to my Nan. Leaving Portsmouth, we had to drive passed where Jim had been killed on his motorbike. There were lots of flowers marking the spot and also several police signs about the fatal accident. It was a very wierd feeling for me. I cannot describe it...a numbness came over me.

After doing the Hayling family thing, I kind of felt ' Why did we bother' when we eventually left. My sister was tired and shouting at the kids and so I was trying to keep them calm. We dropped Emily off at a party after she had cried about a pain in her knee in the bone. I think it is growing pains myself. Anyway, after spending an hour with Nan I just had to get away. As much as I love the dear old lady, what she represents for me is how I never want to be EVER in any shape or form except for her kind nature. For an hour I sat and listened to such negativity about anyone and everything. It absolutely drained me. I almost want to take her back 40 years and retrain her thoughts and attitudes so that the last 40 years weren't just her plodding along day after day, getting more and more cynical. She wonders why people don't visit her! Sorry - just having a winge....she is my favourite person in the world really.

Since leaving her, Mark has gone spinning and I have been concentrating on blog. Now John has turned up for his beer and bangers and mash...Ulri will be round soon. Hope it will be a good evening, though it can't even be compared to last Saturday night...such a good night:)

Take care y'all.
