On the weekend

todayiamadaisyDo you know what's terrible? When you're sure you're dying or, at the very least, a bit feverish, and you take your temperature and it's disgustingly, disappointingly normal. I had some sort of tummy bug (doesn't that sound like it should be a rather sweet little insect?) on the weekend, which involved being sick enough for nausea and sleeping and feeling chilled to the marrow, but not enough to have a temperature higher than 36.1. Perhaps the thermometer is broken. But I'm better now, so it doesn't matter.
My mother hates people saying 'on the weekend'. Particularly newsreaders and me. She thinks it should be 'at the weekend'. But I say that if I was talking about the individual days of the weekend, I'd say 'on Saturday' and not 'at Saturday', so she is wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong. (Wrong is one of those words that looks, well, wrong, the more I look at it.)
Also, whenever someone says something is as cheap as chips, I always think of wood shavings. You can pick them up by the bagful on a building site; that's pretty cheap. But someone told me, no, it means hot chips (or fries). What do you think?
