It depends on when you say "next weekend". Like the smart ones have already mentioned, the week begins on Monday, so if it is Monday 1st, Tuesday 2nd, Wednesday 3rd, Thursday 4th, or Friday 5th, next weekend is Saturday 13th and Sunday 14th. "This weekend" will, in this example, be Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th. "Last weekend" can never refer to the current weekend. If you said "last weekend on Monday 8th, you would be referring to Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th although you'd probably not say "last weekend", you would probably say "at the weekend".

If somebody asks me today what I am DOING at the weekend (or THIS weekend) I will tell them my plans for 17/18th August.
If somebody asks me today what I DID at the weekend, I will tell them what I did on 10/11th August.
If somebody asks me today what I am doing NEXT weekend I will tell them what my plans are for 24/25th August.
Hardly rocket science :icon_roll

Indeed, Spion is correct.
It is however infuriating, when you say 'Next weekend' and some idiot then says 'do you mean this weekend or the weekend after?' Clearly if I'd have meant this weekend, then that's what I would have said.

Why don't you just tell them it's none of their business?

Do people really struggle to understand what is meant by 'this week' and 'next week'? If you can understand that concept you can also understand what 'this weekend' and 'next weekend' refer to.

It's when you get the work done you didn't have time in the week.

If somebody asks me today what I am DOING next weekend I will tell them my plans for 17/18th August.
If somebody asks me today what I am DOING the following weekend I will tell them my plans for 24/25th August.
But no one is ever interested in what I'm doing.
