Had three days at home and not managed to post a thing, how poor is that!
Friday was Andy's birthday, so we both took the day off work. He got up really early (as usual), and went off to the post office to collect all the parcels waiting there for us. We'd been out for drinks the previous night, and I hadn't had a chance to wrap his pressies, so I jumped out of bed when he'd gone to sort it out. I think he was very surprised to find me up when he got back! (I'm usually up a couple of hours later than him at the weekends).
I made him open his straight away, he seemed quite pleased although there wasn't much that was a surprise. He knew I was getting him Crocs - he chose the colour - and the DVDs we'd ordered together (we were sucked in by the HMV sale and bought LOTS!). So the only unexpected bit was two ties - something he needed but not the most exciting present ever!
Then of course there were all the parcels he'd been to collect. Most of them were for me - my kits for the CyberCrop on UKS, and my monthly Little Red Scrapbook kit from the US. There was some seriously yummy stuff, but I haven't really played with any of it yet. He got a couple of bits too, and some more cards in that day's post.
We'd been thinking about going out somewhere for the day, but he struggled to make up his mind what he wanted to do, and in the end the weather was so miserable we just stayed in and had a quiet day. For the first time in what must have been months I actually cooked something - well baked in fact. I made a lemon drizzle cake for his birthday. That was the excuse anyway - but it was really prompted by a challenge on UKS for the CC! Not that I told him that 
It was very yummy though - and I even put candles on for him!!
The rest of the weekend just seemed to disappear. I had my driving lesson on Saturday - mainly driving at higher speeds/on the dual carriageway. We went almost as far as Brighton and back, and it went ok, although I was a bit tense afterwards. Yesterday I did nothing until mid-afternoon, when we did a bit of de-cluttering upstairs. We cleared out a few crates that had been hanging around since we moved in, and sorted out all the clothes in the holiday/winter wardrobe in the spare room. Threw a few bits away, and there's a large bag to go to a charity shop and quite a bit more space! We're making progress gradually, and one day it might actually be as tidy as we'd like 
Finished another book too: Codex (Lev Grossman) This was intriguing, albeit rather silly some of the time. The game plot seemed a bit underused/underdeveloped at times, and the relationships a bit strange. I enjoyed the *technical* parts about old books, and definitely learned some new stuff there. Overall reasonably fun, but probably not a lot more to it than that.
So we'll definitely do that in future if we want to go again. We found everything we wanted except one thing, plus a few extras, and still spent less than we had expected.
