This morning and early afternoon did the discs and pads on my friend's corsa as they were just about knackid

Washed it then exchanged it for a crate of stella

Now I'm deliberating watching Bourne identity with a couple of stella's

Yesterday went to Nuneaton to pick up a new exhaust for Sakura. Then went to his mums for chinese and stayed over cos I had a headache.

Today haven't done much - want to go to sleep but don't want to end the weekend just yet :/

Dropped me big sister in some birthday presents then popped onto my boat to drop a few things in & fix my extinguisher to the wall. Chilling now

Fab weekend.. not sure where that went though..

Friday night we watched a few films and had nawty nibbles.

Saturday : Leanne and I went fishing.. Caught 2 x 12lb carp but we had 4 more that slipped off the hook just as we were landing the damn things. Grr.

Sat Evening we had guests

Sunday Morning, we went out to choose our new kithchen work surface , tiles and electrical stuff as we are about to have some building work done in te loung.dinner/kitchen area. In the afternoon I slept in the sunshine - lovely.

then last night, our estranged brother-in-law turned up. Nice to catch with him.

Well, as we've arrived (and nearly gone past) another weekend, I thought I'd wake this thread up, because I do actually have stuff to report this week.

Friday night: Curry night. \o/
Saturday: Not a lot, but went phone and bed shopping.
Sunday: Firsts, loads of 'em...

Decided on Saturday evening, for reasons totally unknown, that I'd like to go find the local Parish church and maybe attend a service there to see what it was like. Like I said, no idea why, as I'm not a church-going person. Anyway, I decided to varry through my idea, so off I went and found it. I've been here on and off (mostly on) since 1990 and I'd never been there (though I did know very roughly where it was). Got there at 10AM, just in time for Morning Worship, so OK then, in I went. That'll be the first time I've been to a service in the diocese then, as well as the first time I've been to church on my own. May well be Garp's sort of place actually - no organ, so it was guitar and keyboard, and I suspect at least one other instrument though I wasn't close enough to see for sure. I don't think they could have chosen a more appropriate sermon to fit me if they'd tried. Coincidence? I'll leave you to make your own mind up there.

Bearing in mind that church is over a mile away, when I was done, I decided on a 6-7 mile roundtrip walk to the retail park and back (6-7 miles through Newbury and out the other side). I didn't even go to buy anything - just look - and I spent the grand total of £2.49 while there. On return, I stopped off at my local pub and had lunch. Also a first (despite the length of time I've lived here I'd never actually been inside either of the local pubs).

Having completed at least four firsts, I think I'm now going to bed.

Congrats on all of them

Does sound a little more like my style of church, though ideally I like drums and bass guitar to back me up too

Of course it could still be Mission Praise they were playing *shudder*

There were drums (fake ones, but still). Unfortunately it was indeed Mission Praise and I'll admit it's not my bag either, but there's only one way to find that out. Still, the relevance of the sermon was the scary bit, not the Mission Praise.

Different service 1st and 3rd Sundays though so I may give it a second chance.

Oh dear.. ahh well at least it was a start

I hope not "Shine, Jesus, Shine"?
If you're prepared to try something a little more modern I can probably dig up some details of local churches

Bound to be a newfrontiers church or similar near you.

Friday = Curry night too

W00t!

Saturday = Playing about pointlessly with website designs and then smashing up bricks for hours and laying slabs

Sunday = Go-into-town-and-find-me-a-blooming-bra. AND HURRAH! I found TWO! TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWO! Albeit it's set me back £60 (for two bras and a pair of matching nix) I'm well happy!

Heading to Mister Fakeyroos in a bit for some fud munching and general gallumphing about! Problem is... my desserts haven't set yet... and one of them resembles a cow turd. Slightly nervous of the response I will be receiving!

Good weekend - active and busy really!
