The Weekend

The weekend has started.....it is now over half over and I still haven't done anything besides grocery shop.
Went to my parents for dinner last night and met my brother's new girl friend. She is really lovely!! and its nice to see him with someone, because we don't usually get to meet the others!!
Was healthy up until the the desert when I had a small slice of the Lemon Meringue Pie that I made....think that was about 4 points worth!!
Didn't take any home afterwards either - dad needs it more that me!!! With his high chrolesterol, probably not!!
I think BF had a nice time too!! My mother laughs at his funny stories - they are usually about me doing silly things!!
Then went home and went to bed earlier than usual. Cooked a nice bacon and egg breakfast for the BF. Strangly I was not keen on it myself. So I had muesli and fruit with low fat milk. Thats quite unlike me!!! Didn't want my coffee either!!!
Then went and looked at a property for sale in rural south auckland.
Its an old church - but didn't realise there was a cemetery right next to it. Might scare my kids if we lived there. So had a bit of a drive around and looked at some other properties - in reality both the BF and I have some loose ends to tie up before we commit to buying something together.....but its nice to look in the meantime. And yes he does know that I am extremely impractical - I can't garden or hammer or paint walls....but I'd probably learn fast if I had to. We would probably end up buying something rural and seeing as I work in South Auckland and my kids go to school there....there will be a few changes for them.....watch this space.
The deal is to have a huge garage for all the vehicles BF owns - and works on. And we need a bit of space to have that.
Am off to have a catch up with best friend tonight - girls only. I'm pretty limited in the $$$ department - aren't I always??!! I said no to the offer of $$ from BF - if we were going together he could pay, but don't expect him to if hes not coming!!
Will just have a main and some nice wine I think - only going to spend $50 and thats it!! No shopping for new clothes on the way - am doing some major belt tightening - in the finance department - as the credit card needs some serious work to bring it down. Bloody tempting but no I will be strong!!
Planning to join Weightwatchers on Tuesday night - will be bloody interesting/frightening to see what weight haxs gone up to - I might even predict 95kgs!! Better not be any higher than that!!

Busy few days......

Had a real busy weekend.....child free I might add!!! Had the boyfriends (now will be referred to as BF) birthday friday night. Ended up picking him up because he had been drinking with his mates and was way over the limit.

Met his friends in the process.....but felt funny being the only non-drunk one!! Was allowed to drive theV8 home......but kept getting told how to change gear.....thinks I drive okay for a chick.....remember this guy drives cars on a race track for fun!! Hes pretty good too - bless his heart. Will be very interesting once drag racing starts, considering I've never been before it will be very exciting.
A party was organised for saturday night at his place. So went and purchased large amounts of alcohol and food it. We had a nice day together and pottered around making salads etc. Started drinking about 5pm and had a few - lots of people turned up about 20 - alright for a spur of the moment. I ended up cooking the bbq and had lots of "help"from BFs mother!! Shes interesting!!. Made sure I cooked my own steak welldone - the way I like it!! Didn't eat too much rubbish - pretty pleased really that i made the salads etc - if you're the cook then you can control what goes in the food!!
Tried to be polite and talk to everyone too - considering I only knew BF, I didn't do too badly!!
Sunday was a write off - slept in, cleaned up then went back to my place for a sleep in my own bed.
Had a professional development coarse for work for Mon and Tues - really a big gossip and catch up session. But we did learn lots!! Planning meeting today and a stress workshop tomorrow - Friday to myself which will be nice.
Thinking about joining weightwatchers next tues night.......not long till xmas so need a goal to work for....think both myself and BF need to eat better - hes a lot bigger that me though, but will eat what I cook. Which means I can disguise healthy food for him!! I must admit I felt a bit hurt when I found out his mates' nickname for him was Fatboy!! Men are soo blunt sometimes!!!But apparently it doesn't bother him. Just better not call me Mrs Fatboy or they'll be in trouble!!
