Easy day for me...

1. Dropped off the wife at Docklands for the Good Friday Appeal
2. Washed the car
3. Packed the car
4. Sanded & re-stained the young-uns chest-o-drawers
5. Load-o-washing, washed & dried
6. Clean the Flog clubs & pack in car
7. Clean & lube the fishing gear & pack in car
8. Download a shyteload of pr0n as the wifey's not here and I FINALLY got my ADSL!
9. Pick up the wifey from Docklands
10. Bugger off to Rye for the weekend..

Too easy!

Well I've just recovered and woke up from an even HUGER night! Don't know what im doing today. I could wash the car but i dont feel up to it, it spent the night in the rain last night (Its always in the garage) and has water marks on the bonnet now. Grrrrr.

I might just muck around with Xbox, or get my mate to bring round his PS2 console so we can play GT4 ;) Smart cookie I am.

yeap im doing SFA..lol

Went down to get some stuff for dinner..and NOTHING is open; you would think that after 22 years of living in this country I would remember to get some stuff the night before.

So I sat, thought as hard as I could, "which store is owned by someone of asain or muslim desent?"..Ah huh!! The small general store around the corner!

But they had SFA as well...what a shitty day, Im off to play GT4 aswell.

Oh but bakers delight is open! Chocolate Hot Cross Buns!..

OT: but what a rort it is that the only food place that is open is afish and chip shop! My parents owned one for 8 odd years; im over bloody fish and chips! (but I know its a good day for them)

Ahhh i wish i was working! I love penalty rates! :hihi:

Unfortunately not much building or designing goes on over easter!

Today is the most boring day of the year - i agree on that. I guess the only thing i sort of have to look forward to is dirving to go to Mass, then out to my gf's parents farm.

I woke up at 7, sat on here 2 hours... helped dad weed the front lawn and chop a few tree branches away, then loaded up the 6"4 trailer, had some lunch cauz i was ****ed after no food... think i will go wash my car later, clean it out inside some cauz he mowed the lawns and made it filthy(er) than what it already was...
while im typing and people are reading
a) what cleans up woodgrain and plastics really nice (inside and outside the car, that may be found in the hosue as nothing is open)
b) do the cruise control buttons just pop right off no worries?

Any 4 day weekend rocks!!! I loathe my job, so doing ANYTHING or NOTHING when I am not at work is a massive bonus. The only bad thing about it is spending most of Monday night thinking about going back to work the next morning.

OK, me and Eamon slept in until midday. The kids got up and just watched tv and made their own breakfast so we just stayed in bed.... Then Eamon made me breakki (eggs and cheese on toast) and had a coffee and then we got online.

The kids Dad comes to get the kids in about an hour and then we have the weekend kid-free!!! Although the kids will be coming back on Sunday for a little while for the easter egg hunt we have planned for them - then they are back with their Dad until Monday night.

We are planning on watching dvds, having a few drinks tonight, washing the cars, going for a drive to Victor Harbour and whatever else we think of doing or can be bothered doing.... And Im going to enjoy every minute of it.

Hope you all have a great Easter weekend with your kids and families or whatever! And for those of you at work, I hope you guys have a decent weekend anyway, that you get some goodies while you are there, or at least you can hop onto the forums or something! And most of all I hope that you get paid heaps over the break!!!!!

Ok, out of my to do list so far the Esky has been washed and is smelling like Vanilla, thank you honey.
Two loads of washing washed and dried, moving on to the third.
A few games of checkers have been played. Got the tyres on the Esky spinning out the front of the white VL Calais lovers house across the road as I took off to go shopping, no doubt I forgot something.
Shower accomplished, now for the spare room. I think I'll just toss a match in there. :

The bottle shop at the supermarket in Deer Park is open until 6pm if that's what you want to do. :

Now off to conquer the spare room, if nobody sees a post by me in the next couple of days please send a rescue team in!! :

Today wasn't too bad. Got up at 4am, went to work, ate stacks of hot cross buns, sausage rolls, drank lots of coffee, watched Jerry & Cheaters, then caught some of the replay of last weeks race, then came home. Love having foxtel at work....

They are cleaning the cross up now... it's going to get boring real soon. Thankfully they still had a few sex shops the last time I went down so I was able to make a now well-used purchase

Even our fave eatery, a 24 hour place that had excellent food for super cheap called Kraves, is gone boohoo! Now we have nowhere to sit and watch the drug deals under the table, the hookers coming in for a feed after a big night, or the cops arresting drunk weirdos. No fun.

We had a big day out. I found out that Paddy's Markets was open in Flemington (Sydney) today so we bundled everyone in the car and went to purchase some decent cheap clothing. $200 later and all I got was a $3 mobile phone cover, the kids got the rest. Oh and cheap fruit and veg, always worth it

Spent an early dinner at Lazikos on Parramatta Road, good value and damn nice, then home.

Went past Eastern Creek Raceway to find a whole lotta cars parked there - I forgot it's the Powercruise this weekend. Maybe we'll check it out over the weekend or maybe we won't, a short holiday is like that.

Sent hubby off to get DVDs, gotta love easter. 4 days of doing what we feel like ROCKS :hihi:
