A bit of mindlessness

I dont really have anything to say, but for some reason feel compelled to say it anyway.

Lets see, I can tell you about our weekend. It was cup weekend this weekend just passed. I know cup day is technically not part of the weekend, after all the first Monday in November is actually a working day. Seeing as Johns workplace shut down for some unknown reason, I suspect management laziness, and Im not currently working it is theoretically *still* weekend in our house. Well that was the long way of saying "woo hoo 4 day weekend" lol.

Day 1 - Saturday.

Normal Saturdays in the castle consist of a swimming lesson for Nick and a lot of shopping, cleaning and general household spiffing up. Nick had still not had his hives/rash that he came home from camp with calm down enough for me to want him jumping into chlorinated water so we cancelled this weeks lesson. One less thing to do, instead we set him and his sister up in his bedroom with a DVD and a giant bowl of popcorn. Best way to get them out of the hair so that things can be accomplished. Lovely nose twitch and some sparkly stars flying by and he house is shining just like a furniture polish commercial. Truth is I dont need a full day to complete this task as I do it daily but I like to still say Saturday is cleaning day and once thats done I do nothing.. Not this Saturday though, because it was Halloweeen - cue spooky music - we had some serious costume wearing to do.



A fun evening had by all, our lil Fairy Princess, Death, the Skellyboy and Bogan Shazza.













Day 2 - Sunday.

Well I can say without any problems, we did NOTHING.. Sat arse on couch with family and played PS3 all damned day long.. Wonderful day

Day 3 - Monday.

In true John form we had to "make up" for the do nothing Sunday so it was all systems go. Lawns mowed, then whippersnipped, then plucked of weeds and mowed again - I will never understand Johns need to "remow" the just mown lawn.. Hows sparkled up again, between bouts of checking my farms and fishtanks on facebook. Washing done.

Day 4 - Tuesday.

Ahhhhhh cup day. I've always been a bit of a hobby "punter" sitting down reading the form guide and make calculated guesses at which horsie will win has always been on my list of fun things to do. Of course I do it only when I can truely afford to lose any money I chose to bet with - its not often these days, so I take great advantage of cup day these days. I must admit its also a secret pleasure that I am better at picking a winner than John - and he likes to discuss tips and form with his mates, putting the "expert" spin on things and generally taking rubbish. Im a quiet punter, I pick my horse - no method at all just hunch, then sit back and see what happens. I often dont even watch the race, just check my TAB account balance later and see if I won or not.. Yesterday true to form I picked 5 winners and multiple place getters throughout the day but nothing in the actual cup. John picked one 1st and 2nd - in the cup and only because I said "how funny would it be if it was Shocking Crime Scene" he later admitted he only put those horses on because I found it amusing - he STOLE my horses lol.. Happy day, all my winnings, about $250 all up are going straight into my tattoo savings fund - yay, not huge money bet or won but it helps me so yay..

Now back to the "grind" of the working week, well for John, for me its homelife back to normal, just me and the kids and multiple little busy tasks to stop what appears to be Ava's ultimate goal in life - to destroy the house...
