We are usually so busy over the weekend so it was really nice to do lots of lovely things this weekend.
Saturday day time we met up with my dad in Leek. My parents have been fantastic and gave us their Gorgeous garden table and 6 chairs. It also has a parasol and cushions etc. JT however forgot to pick up the legs for the table so my dad brought them with him. We looked round the antique market and had a nice pub lunch. My dad then showed us some of his favourite parts of that end of the Peaks and also where he camped as a young boy with his school. We left my dad about 6pm and headed back home. I was really happy that i only ended up missing 5 minutes of X factor. Excellent start to the show. There as always been a small part of me that would love to audition just to see if i could get through, but it would be everything else that you would have to do that would be even scarier.
After X factor we had tea. I then decided i wanted to make a start on sanding down our new garden table and chairs with our new sander. We got so mucky as the dust went everywhere. I then jumped in the shower and while JT was pottering about i watched the last half of 'As good as it gets' on the telly. Wonderful film, although saying that i didnt think much of it when i first watched it. After the film JT was ready for bed but i wasnt sleepy so i watched the rest of LOST that id taped and silly me decided to watch the very moving film 'Paradise Road' which was on At 12ish and ended up going to bed a 2.30am argghhhhhhhhhhh.
I cant remember if it was friday or saturday night but i also got JT roped into helping me make up some wedding favours for some friends who are getting married in a couple of weeks.
Sunday we had to get up early as JT was sorting out the projector system at church. He has been working really hard on it all week sometimes not getting in until after 9pm and then he had to be there sunday so show people the new system as its all computer based.
After church we went to some friends for a BBQ we are looking to join their celebration at church so it was a chance to meet folks and also to have a meal together. After the BBQ we went home and ended up playing 2 games of Monopoly in the garden. Now JT usually beats me at this game but i managed to win twice. The main highlight was being able to put a hotel on both Park Lane and Mayfair. Even better was when JT landed on Park Lane and then because he rolled a double he got to roll again and got a double 1 straight onto Mayfair Mwaaaaaahhhhhhh.
Sunday evening we just relaxed and then J and E came round as they have been in America for a week so it ws good to catch up with them.
Tonight with work we are off on a staff night out and are going to an Indian restaurant. Most people after it are then going clubbing but i think im getting old as by 10.30 i will be ready to go home and have a hot chocolate before bed. Also i wont have seen JT since this morning so it will be nice to give him a big hug. I know its daft but although its important to do some things without eachother, and we both enjoy that, I always miss him when im not with him. awwwwwwwwwww sick bucket hee hee
Anyway my cup of tea is going cold so id better get back to drinking it.
