We started the weekend with a trip to Costco. Mr. J and I needed to stock up on nibblies for our housewarming the next day. We always spend so much when we go :S I think the whole saving thing is lost on us!! But we got lots of good bulk nibblies – my fave had to be the ‘poppycock’ – Caramel covered popcorn with almonds and pecans. Not good to have it in the house – don’t do it!
We dropped off the shopping and then ventured out to find brunch. I wish we hadn’t :S We ended up at the Central Cafe, which I would basically call a truck stop! I ordered a small(!) bacon and eggs. Let me tell you it was not small, and it came with fries! It was pretty oily, and I was glad I had only had an apple for breakfast to even things out…
Then the hunt was on (again) for bedside tables. I cannot believe how hard this has been! We found a good pair in Fyshwick, but they wouldn’t sell the display ones, and ordering would take 3-4 weeks. Not happy. We tried a few other places, but with no luck I think we will have to go back there. I hate buying from sales reps with bad customer service just out of principle!
Mr. J and I spent the rest of Saturday getting ready for the housewarming, cleaning, washing etc. I made us honey soy roast chicken with sweet potato fries and green beans for dinner. Pretty good I reckon!
Sunday I started the day with 30 Day Shred level 3. I love starting the day like this – If only I was a morning person and could do it during the week(!)
After that it was last minute preparations, buying ice, etc and a quick brunch of a poached egg on a wholemeal english muffin.
Then it was an afternoon of relaxing with friends
