PLANS FOR THE WEEKEND

My days off are Saturday and Sunday. I never know how to spend them. On Friday night when I go to bed I think that I will get up very early on Saturday and I will have enough time to do a lot of things that I did not do during the week. I also plan that on Saturday I will have a good rest. But Saturday comes and all my plans change. I usually set my alarm clock for 8 o'clock, I did so last Saturday too, but I never hear it. I think it did not work. When I got up it was about 11, it took me an hour to cook breakfast. After breakfast I decided to go shopping because I looked into the refrigerator and saw that I had no food for the next week. I came back home only in the evening because Saturday was not the most convenient day for shopping.

I forgot about it. Late in the evening I went washing and cleaning, and watched some TV programmes. I went to bed at 1o'clock. But before I fell asleep I made plans for Sunday. "I will have the whole day to myself tomorrow'' I thought.
