I had a lovely weekend Alhamdulillah!
Saturday I went to a talk by a Shiekh about the Etiquette and Importance of Worship, then I went on a rowing boat with a couple of friends on the boating lake in Regents Park and we recited Qur'an to each other. It was really beautiful and the weather was gorgeous alhamdulillah.
Then on Sunday I went up to Northampton with a couple of friends to visit someone we know who is recovering from an operation, and he seems to be recovering very well insha'Allah, then I came back for a barbecue with REAL Malysian satay :D.
Then today I went to Oriental City with some friends for lunch and we played on the arcades (just like when we were kids!) and then I went to someone's house and we had ANOTHER barbecue then together we recited Surah Yasin because their baby is due within the next few days, insha'Allah.
All in all I had a wonderful time and I feel so refreshed about going back to work tomorrow (I might not feel so positive in the morning, however).
Don't just do something! Stand there.
The barbecue?
I meant because I have to go to work!
But I'll let you know if the barbecue works its magic too...
Don't just do something! Stand there.
I spent the day playing my xbox (Rainbow Six Vegas) when I should have been revising for my criminal law exam (this Thursday).
Btw this may seem really simple, but why is it called a bank holiday [i]weekend[/i]?
i had a brilliant weekend nice barbecue with all the family, just like the walton s minus the boring elders it was great! At times like these i lurrrve being part of a big family.
This weekend..
Saturday I spent the day with friends...we spent the day drinking smoothies and speaking about everything and anything.
On Sunday, I had family over..so I spent the day, being their driver - showing them London..and helping with the piles of washing up.
Monday was a repeat of Sunday...Sunday night I realised that I hadnt done any work - so I studied late into the night.
I love having family over..however, I'm also glad to see them go. I cant sacrifice my bed, my bedroom, my activities and my work commitments for more than two days.
on sat i went out food shopping with mum and sisters
on sun i went out shopping with lil sis
the rest of the time i was cooped up in our front room with the rest of the family
one was on the comp
the other on the laptop
another reading quran
another on fone
another reading
another glued to the telly (me)
etc etc
and all of us were snappy, short tempered and in each others face
whilst the builders cam in and out in the rain with their muddy shoes
if i had my own way i'd move out :evil:
sat
woke up late
cleaned up a lot
spent the day out shopping
sun
woke up late
cleaned up a bit
and will spend the day watching films, eating junk and baking brownies
On Friday night I went to the theatre to see my friend in the opera and we ate a Shabbat dinner in his hotel room. Saturday I mostly read stories to my niece and nephew and then went to the opera again. It was a late night and I woke late today just in time to go and see my sister's excellent A-level drama production. Spent most of the afternoon since with friends. Normally of a weekend I don't go to so many operas and A-level productions.

Sounds pretty productive.

Friday night I relaxed at home and was contented by the fact that it was my last day at work for over a week!
Today went to the Islamic Circle at Regents Park Mosque then watched 28 Weeks Later which is really really good but looks like it was paid for by the London Tourist Board
Tomorrow I have my steps2Allah gathering which should be amazing like always.
Monday and Tuesday I'll start preparing for holiday then Wednesday I leave for sunny Spain STRAIT after Fajr, insha'Allah
Which should provide my entertainment for next weekend too!
Don't just do something! Stand there.

egypt= very cheap
but u have to haggle, cos if they know ur a tourist (which they def will) they'll try to rip u off
to be honest, even if u get ripped off, u'll still end up paying way less for something than u would of in britain.
egypt was great tho. the people there showed me wot the words 'friendly' and 'welcoming' mean
Don't just do something! Stand there.
i think they rip u off where ever u go reli. Never been eygpt before dont even no wot the currency is. I think i need to do my research lol yeh sum 1 at work waz tellin me its suppose to b dirt cheap dwn there, wel in that case im takin n extra big suitcase
thanks for the heads up

That is sooo sweet (even though a hubby should help anyway), hope the MALE youth look up to you....do you hear that, he does housework! Having said that Sundays only aint enough
i do it anyway but sunday is a day when i can do more...not that i want to
but its not fair for my wife to do it all the time... household chores was good enough for the Prophet 
so why not me...
i rather be watching footy or doing revival work...but its gotta be done so why not lol
Charles does housework?? :shock:
No seriously, our Ed does help out around the house not only on sundays but all the time!! I've seen it!!
I'm glad i've had such an influence on someone and that he's copying me in doing his fair bit around the house!!
