My Weekend

Its a pretty quiet weekend here. Just what im needing as i have a fairly busy week ahead. I don't think ive mentioned before but we have shared care of my stepchildren. They stay with us one week and then back at their Mums for a week and so on! It works pretty well but of course with 2 extra people in the house there is more to do. Riley loves having his older brother & sister staying, always someone to play with!

On my "to do list" this weekend:

• Plan meals for the week ahead and then go grocery shopping. I usually make things like spaghetti bolognaise, usually a slow cooked casserole, quiche, steak & vegies, fish & a chicken dish. I find it so much easier to plan our meals, that way i don't buy things at the supermarket we don't need & i don't have to think each night of something to make.


• Make a Banana cake for school lunches - believe it or not i have a few over ripe bananas that need to be used. They are so expensive here at the moment so none go to waste.


• Wash my car


• Iron - my ironing pile is getting out of control!


• Do a few eBay listings - i try and sell things we don't need and clothes Riley has outgrown. The extra money always comes in handy. Ive been selling on eBay for 8 years now - i don't know what id do without it!


• Catch up on some reading - i have a pile of magazines and a new book "The Help" that i cant wait to start reading

Not a very exciting weekend but a productive one nonetheless!
