Plans

On way to work now, awaiting application updates on my phone so I can tweet ;) took two buses today to see if it would make a difference to my times with the heavy road works going on down my road. Doesn't seem to have and now I'm stuck in a difference area that both buses would have taken. Go figure! Woke up for fajr with hubby this morning before he left for work which was good :)
On a side note, mens nose hairs really bother me. Why are they so much more noticeable than womens?? And how do certain men think they can get away with not doing anything to them? Bleugh!!
Ok enough for now. Giving in an application for a senior technician position in my department. I don't have the years experience but have been told to still go for it so we'll see insha'Allah
Peace and salams

Praying sunnah

So I was at the mosque today for dhuhr and just thought I would ask... seeing as the time for dhuhr has actually gone what with mosques usually praying at 1 when the time starts around 1215... can I go in and pray my 4 sunnah before fard salah?

Then on Saturday

we decided to stay around the area, in the morning we went to my nana's gravestone with my grandad as I dont think he had been since he got back from his holidays the tuesday before. I didnt mind taking him, he isnt driving now so its harder for him to get around. Hubby took in the area and asked questions later.. then we dropped Grandad home and kicked around the house for abit. He had already shown hubby his war photos, the ships he used to move around the world in while he was chasing Chinese pirates, or 'helping' in the Korean war.. hubby is very interested in all of it so it was good for the two of them to bond alhamdulillah. Grandad had a little sleep then we decided to go out for lunch, we paid, we took some photos (FB!) and hubby called grandad, grandad.. it was a great afternoon. When we got back we dropped him off and went to Asda to do our food shop that we had decided to do cause things might have been cheaper than Sainsbury's, some bits were (we bought them) and some bits weren't (we didnt buy them) then we made our way back home. Picked Grandad up and drove over to my dads for a little tea party for my nephews 4th birthday :) we had bought him some clothes down here so had a little present for him ready.. he wasnt too into presents, or the attention he was getting but we spent a good time there alhamdulillah. After dropping Grandad back home we made our way over to where I used to live before leaving the UK for Canada and popped in to see a few people (also to introduce hubby to more people in my life really) my best friend from school (he really got chatting to her husband who works for a phone company) then my next door neighbours - both sides - one who he had already met so was nice to see the warm reception there masha'allah... then we made our way home after a long day alhamdulillah.
Grandad was already in bed when we got home so we settled down after sorting out all the food stuffs until my the old guy took a slip in the bathroom and banged his head :( Hes still in hospital now, insha'Allah they sort out whats going on so he can return home soon... I know how much being there reminds him of when my Nana died and I wouldnt wish that on my worse enemy. I phone up everyday to find out how he is.. my dad should be just leaving now and it pained me to leave him on Sunday night, we only got to visit for an hour and we left Liverpool before visiting hours started on Monday... Sunday was a bad day... we had been up since around 4am at the hospital (side note... my auntie and Grandad got to see how compassionate and attentive hubby was, she even commented on it, so that was a silver lining alhamdulillah) then instead of the planned trip into the town centre we decided to kick it around my Grandad area then visited him at the hospital in the evening.. it was an eventful weekend, but not one I would like to repeat... insha'Allah next time it wont be as intense
Well hubby is making mixed veg curry tonight, its nearly finished so Ill be leaving you here... peace and salams

My weekend

It started off later than planned when I got stuck in a traffic jam on the bus for an hour. So when I had hoped to be home around 1230 I got there about 1320 and called for enterprise to come and pick me up. Silly boy parked across the road when he shouldn't have even turned and we got stuck in the big queue to turn right as is usual in that area. Anyways, we eventually left at 1430 and got stuck in a ten mile traffic jam at Banbury on the M6. Which saw us getting to my grandads at 2145 instead of 1900 which meant I was tired and crabby. But I introduced hubby to grandad before telling him to go to bed and going to sort out our bedrooms. I think I fell asleep before my head hit the pillow :)
Saturday to follow ;)

My deen

I decided today while working that I need to do a little more for my deen. I'm still praying all my sunnah prayers alhamdulillah even after my questions about the dhuhr sunnnah and how it was too much. Alhamdulillah Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) has made it easy for me to keep these going, even at work. So I've decided to set myself little goals giving me a month for each and when I take on little things or it gets too easy I will shorten the time frame or give myself more than one task.
Just before I went on holiday I bought a small laminated poster if the duaa to say upon leaving and entering the house. HubbyA put it on the living room door and now I know off by heart the duaa for leaving even though it's only been up a few weeks. I think the realisation of learning this by heart has given me a boost and pushed me to want to do more.
I've been looking at my next surah to learn for awhile now, not having the push. Insha'Allah I will have it now. Surah al-Hamazah here I come.
Anyone want to suggest something very useful to learn? Want to learn with me? Comments welcome

Nearly home now. Peace and salams
