Just wondering as mine was full of normal routine things π )
Started with working Saturday morning then off food shopping in the afternoon.
Then Sunday a trip to the shops to collect a repaired mobile phone and then running around after children.
Don't know where the weekends go anymore!!!
i'm afraid mine was just a normal as your mate.
Endured kids cartoons on Saturday morning, went to some garden centre's lame "fun" day and looked at loadsa stuff we cant afford to buy, then yesterday just chilled out and watched rubbish telly on the evening, all in between playing referee to the kids.
Ah referee to the kids that sounds fimilar!!!
normal stuff is who did/said what to who and when LOL
Sounds like a typical weekend for me, though this weekend was different in that my brother-in-law, wife and baby boy came to visit, my daughter was back from Uni for the weekend, and my step-son came to visit before going off abroad for a year, so quite a busy weekend for a change. π
Normal weekend running around after the kids highlighted by a letter from next door complaining about my son waking up at 5am and that they are keeping a log of our activity. So wife in tears and then eldest has meltdown while watching Santa and screamed all the way home. Normal really π
Not being funny but think the letter would be somewhere the sun doesnt shine if my neighbours did that!!!
I made mince pies for the first time last weekend (and some mini apple pies) - they are disappearing fast so must have got approval
Love mince pies, best thing about Christmas π )
I've started messing about with meringues so far made 1 strawberry and 1 raspberry.
They didn't last long either
I played the role of taxi driver, referee, doctor, cleaner and tarzan! Okay, that last one wasn't for the kids! π π π
This weekend I have to take youngest to badminton, eldest to Cambridge so he can go Xmas shopping with friends and pick him up, take youngest to badminton again.
Sunday take eldest to fencing tournament
May get to the gym - and hopefully get a glass of something on Saturday night with friends
Also have to go shopping and housework
A dad's job is never done!!!
This weekend is about Crimbo - putting up the tree, writing cards, wrapping presents and making mince pies
Been out for 10th anniversary of meeting my wife - Just come back from watching "jack and his giant stalk" - adult panto at hitchin's Market Theatre - well worth going to if you're near, very very funny.

Like SM I'm getting ready for xmas, need to decorate the tree pick up a few bits and get some food shopping in (once i've finished work that is) then collect my girlfriend from work and try and relax a bit tomorrow but can't see that happening housework and kids always put a stop to that π
