stop wasting my weekends

There are a million productive things that I could/can do on the weekends but I always just end up lounging around and doing my homework at the last minute. No cleaning the house or reading or anything.

Well I have plans this weekend and I am getting some stuff done too. I have a few ideas of things that need doing around the house etc. The thing is that it is so damn cold that I keep feeling like curling up and hibernating. I feel I should be doing more, that my weekend should be jam packed.

Having said that, there is nothing on hold or that I am procrastinating over, stuff is being done and I’m happy, so maybe I shouldn’t be pressurising myself to be out and about and busy for the full 48 hours of every weekend. I mean, nobody really does that right?

Visited my parents this weekend. Had a fairly quiet one because I was so tired from being back at work this week. Did spend some time with the family, had a cuppa with my Grandma, rented a film on Saturday evening and went shopping for an hour with my Mum on Sunday.

Well my new job starts Monday so I will have properly defined weekends agian and so will hopefully do better with this goal.

This weekend I moved all my stuff back home, shopped for groceries and generally sorted my house out. Yesterday evening I had supper at my best friends house, played guitar hero with her fiancee and then we all went out to the pub followed by a pretty cool cocktail party.

Today I am picking up some bits from around town, and catching up on things I need the internet for as I’ve just found out I can use it for free at my local library.

I’m finding this really difficult to achieve at the moment as all my days sort of blend into one with not being at work.I’m going to put this on the backburner until I’m working again and have properly defined weekends.

Had a great productive weekend.

On Friday went out for a meal, drinks and to see Twilight with my two best friends as a pre-xmas catch up and present swap. The rest of the weekend was a big house cleaning, christmas related job blitz with my Mum, including finishing wrapping the presents, dressing chickens and icing the Christmas cake.

I think we both felt we had done a tonne and felt pretty good about it.

Met up with a friend for shopping and lunch yesterday to catch up and then went to see a movie with my brothers last night.

Think we are going to go and pick up my younger brother’s birthday present(bike)this afternoon, but apart from that a quiet day today.

I think I am doing ok with this goal as I haven’t had many real ‘nothing’ weekends for a while but still think I should be packing more into my weekends.

This weekend was a bit quieter.

Went shopping with my brothers yesterday so we could sort out the younger ones birthday present and I bought them lunch. I ordered a new phone online becuase there were no good deals in the shops.

Today my Mum drove me over to my house and back so I could pick up my post and other bits and pieces as I hadn’t been back for a week. Am now about to do a roast dinner for everyone.

I don’t really feel like my weekends are wasted as much when I am not working during the week, which is good, except once I do get a new job I’ll think ‘what did I do with all that time I had off’.

has really happened over the past few weekends but they haven’t felt wasted which is a step up.

Ok, so this weekend I am doing quite a lot;
- Went out for a pizza with Mum last night whilst we waited to pick my youngest brother up from a birthday party.
- Attempting a fancy roast dinner for supper for everyone this afternoon.
- Babysitting tonight hopefully.
- Going to my Auntie’s for lunch tomorrow and to catch up with all my Mum’s side of the family.
- Going back home to get a good nights sleep and prepare for interview on Monday.

So, so far so good with this goal.
