I have too many shoes

I've had a long weekend, no work except my domestic goddess duties and its been a bit weird. I've purposely not written any lists to achieve or planned any activities so that anything that happens is spontaneous but it is hard to get out of the thinking that I need to be doing something structured and not leisurely.  With hindsight, I realise that I need to get a life! So this weekend, I've managed to do all my washing and take advantage of the two days of sunshine we've actually had. So I have a batch of fresh-dryed washing to sort.  What is it about fresh bedsheets that's just so perfect? I found this great site with tips of creating those fresh summery scents all year round, so rather than use up the earth's natural resources to keep things fresh, I can create some natural scents to pep up my laundry. I also 'camped out' in front of the TV and watched Glastonbury, and was blown away by Beyonce. Despite 'the contraversy' of Beyonce being t...

I would like to make it official and sign up to a petition to make weekends officially three days long! There is just not enough time in a two-day weekend to do all the things I want to do, Saturday and Sunday are simply too short and time flies without having enough fun.  Since the start of this year my husband has worked the majority of weekends either day or night shifts so we haven't been able to really plan anything to do.  Don't get me wrong, I'm extremely lucky that we both have a job (it was a different story nearly four years ago) but weekends are meant to be fun and not pass by without something interesting occurring! [cue Great Escape music] I did manage to finally get out of the house this weekend, dressed up and an alcoholic drink passed my lips, my first since New Years Eve!  I went on a hen night to a local village, one of those places with quite a few bars and restaurants that are basically a hop, skip and jump away from each other, perfect as it was rai...

Ever had one of those weekends when literally nothing has happened. Its over too soon and you're due back to work on Monday, feeling a little shortchanged that the weekend has resulted in not even one small instance of excitement.  I think I've let the bad weather get to me and its felt like a gloomy weekend and I had no enthusiasm to do anything.  Even the end of Big Brother got to me and I didn't even watch it this year. Its just sad when things come to an end.  What really got to me was the small feature they ran on Jade Goody.  While I wasn't a fan of her, it was just extremely sad to think she has such a short and sometimes horrid life (dying at 27 years old) and her young boys will grow up without their mum.  I can't sit and complain about being bored and just wait for things to happen, I've got to make them happen, so that my weekends don't go to waste!  So from this day forward, I'm going to be making the most of my weekends whether...
