I've been looking forward to filling out the Friday Five all week long because I knew it would be Friday! YAY!

1.) Three day weekend after a very long week workwise. YAY!
2.) Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on how you look at it) I have no plans this weekend at all
3.) I have heaps of laundry and deep cleaning to do. I hate laundry and cleaning.
4.) After pretty decent weather all week long, its pissing down with rain this morning
5.) Going to work on my critter and the roller coaster I'm building some more this weekend.
I've never gotten food on my underpants!

1.  I am happily NOT at work as I'm on the train down to London.  However, I really should be doing work rather than just playing on the internet.

2.  I am very happy the train is not crowded or full or rowdies like it usually is, plus I was lazy this morning and decided against taking the 6am train (way too early!).

3.  I have five glorious days of holiday from the in-laws!!

4. In just two weeks' time I will be on holiday for an entire 13 days!! First CT and then lovely Paris!

5. I left the cold, grey rain of Edinburgh for gorgeous sun down south!!

1. It's Friday!  Thankfully!  It has been one hell of a week...
2. Just got off the phone with my company contact in Singapore.  I am now really looking forward to my trip to Thailand.  It should be a really good experience.
3. Almost done with the last Harry Potter book (usually read them in a day, but, I started it and had a busy week)!  ;D
4. Having veggie and black bean enchiladas for dinner.  YUM!
5. All the travel to Asia that I have to do will earn airmiles, which means I can afford to see my family next year!  HURRAY!
I am the architect of my destiny.

1. Got our new couch last night but it's the wrong one - going to have to sort that out today. ::)
2. Had the exterminator come in yesterday and fumigate the place for fleas - inside and out - so hopefully that is finished. [smiley=smash.gif]
3. Hoping DH is going to do burgers on the grill tonight - if the rain holds off long enough. :P
4. Sometime today I will hear if I got the job or not - fingers crossed. [smiley=clover.gif]
5. I'm jealous that Dar is going to Thailand. Great, now the Murray Head "One Night in Bangkok" song is in my head.  ;D

Have a good trip!

1. Feeling yuk today because of a work night out last night and the minutes are going by too slowly for my liking
2. SIL is visiting from Oban without my brother (always a good time to be had)
3. We're all heading up to the North East tomorrow for the weekend
4. Going to the Turriff show (really the worst thing in the world but worth it for all the great people watching and the sites you can see)
5. It's going to be raining so we'll be knee deep in mud and frozen all day - making the beer tent all the more attractive!

Friday!

1.) I like starting the week on a Tuesday! It was nice and quick for me this week.   ;D
2.) Hoping to go berry picking this weekend if the weather holds up
3.) Have mountains of laundry to do, hope the weather holds up so I can hang most of it up outside and not in the spare bedroom
4.) I will promise myself to work on my critter this weekend
5.) I have no motivation to do any work today
I've never gotten food on my underpants!

Yay for Friday!

1) I am not at work today - I love my schedule!
2) I had a good week at work.
3) Hoping it clears off enough today to get our one load of laundry dry soon-ish.
4) Then I need to pack.
5) Tomorrow we are off for a long weekend in Bath tomorrow - yay!
