hubby and daughter have gone away to see his family for a few days - i'm working.


First time alone in the house since she was born! I told my colleague at work expecting to get sympathy for my loneliness but he was just - YOU HAVE THE HOUSE TO YOURSELF!


what should i be doing. so far, I've been for a swim, loaded the dishwasher with some of the chaos that was left in their departure (more of that later too), watched revenge.


feel like i should be running naked around the house or something . ideas?!!


what I shall enjoy is a LONG sleep with NO INTERRUPTIONS. As well as not creeping around the house in the morning when i get up to go to work!


Tempted to call in sick to make the most of it all , but better not...

watch all those films and old repeats you want to but husband not keen on. Play loud music, thrash metal or grime or something similarly blasting. Read in bed for aaaaages, eating left over Easter eggs and hot cross buns. The bathroom is Yours and Yours Alone.


You don't have to compromise on ANYTHING!! Awesome!!!

My hubby is taking my 3 (assuming I can get youngest Pickle to take a bottle) to see his family in Scotland in May. I can't wait. When I was pregnant with #3 he took the older two away for a week, my Mum was adamant I would rattle round the house missing them terribly.


I ate Pringles for dinner, watched TV at the time I'd usually be doing bath/bed, went to Bluewater for a day with just a handbag.


Bliss. It was lovely to have them home, but both they and I had a great time!


Enjoy!

Watching grown up TV while eating breakfast sounds like a pretty good start! And just think, same again after work without anyone to dictate the channel!


Recharge your batteries as they soon return quick enough for the missed cuddles you're craving and the madness continues!

My priority is always a leisurely breakfast with the newspaper spread out over the table. I actually get to eat an entire piece of toast and drink the whole cup of (still hot) coffee without having to get up from my seat. (Sometimes if I wake up really early and can't get back to sleep I sneak down to do this, but invariably the toast has just popped when I hear little footsteps on the stairs.)

    • But what are you basing that judgement on? Vibes? where exactly and under what council is money being spent wisely? what about parties which promise to cut waste, come to power and find out there is no waste?   
    • I've just had James from Trelco round doing taps and hot water.  Prompt, efficient and pleasant people and the cost came in under what we thought it would be! Will definitely use them again.
    • Yes - adult care is a large part of the CT bill.  That does not mean the council spend our money well or wisely.        
    • “What do councils spend all the money on?” Is, in my view, one of the most profoundly emblematic of our times  we go about our lives, backed up by councils and governments and complain they aren’t needed  reform win elections based on “we’re gonna go in and slash all the waste!” Only to later admit there effectively isn’t any oh and by the way we need to increase council tax   Now all we have to offer is racism and ineptitude sorry about that  https://www.gbnews.com/money/reform-elon-musk-doge-failed-savings So where does the money go? On a multitude of services - but the increasingly aged population and the care provision required is a large part of it  the government could give councils more money to avoid council tax rises  - but the we would have to pay more in jewels taxation  and as a country we tend to pay less than other similar countries  so we end up with an expensive mend and make do approach  I don’t see any political parties offering a solution   Starmer is obviously lacking in many areas but he is the result of a hostile media and a reluctant population willing to hear truths  (wait until we hear how much we will need to increase defence spending by in the coming years) If a party stopped pretending all the money was wasted but published a list of costs, projections and proposals that wasn’t gutted to suit the landscape of needing to not bemonstered by the press or deemed too expensive by voters I would be very interested      can’t see that happening tho  (also worth reminding ourselves of all the brexiters who said things like “I don’t care how much it costs   I don’t care if I lose my job  it’s about taking back control!” And yet now we find them complaining about increasing costs. As they always will complain about everything  because it’s always someone else’s fault)
