Tonight Hubs is once again not here due to work. I do moan about his absences but today I’m thinking about all the things I get to do when he’s away.
- I can watch whatever I want on the TV without him moaning. Tonight that’s Kirstie’s Handmade Britain and then Newsnight in bed.
- I can multi-task the TV watching with painting my toenails and reading a magazine without being distracted by him, you know, speaking to me.
- I can get both boys into bed in twenty minutes rather than the three quarters of a hour it takes when I have him to ‘help’.
- I can wear my favourite old pjs without being mocked.
- I can get out my secret good biscuits and not be expected to share.
I do have to make my own tea in the morning though otherwise I’d get him to work away all the time.

Thats sounds like some fab reasons! I like to turn negatives into positives, makes the day more pleasant!
Yellow Days says
Yep, looking on the bright side today. Much nicer!
Nikki Thomas says
Sounds like bliss to me! Definitely the tv and not being constantly talked at!! Maybe I should make mine go away!
Yellow Days says
There are definite advantages.

Oooh I’m loving this. My hubby is away tonight. I had my best friend over for dinner and just chilled out in the peace and quiet. Although I miss him it’s nice to have some space once in a while
Yellow Days says
Sounds lovely!
Cerys lowe says
Brilliant! The ‘helping’ part is so true!! Mine goes away tomorrow for nearly a week and I will definitely be doing the whole pj and MY TV thing!
Yellow Days says
I can’t for the life of me work out why it takes longer but it really does.

Funny isn’t it how it always takes longer to get anything child related done when the men are ‘helping’?!
My evenings are always alone and I have grown to quite like it. If he’s here too many evenings he drives me mad. Haha
Yellow Days says
When we were first living together Hubs worked away Mon to Fri and I have to say I was perfectly happy with that. Just seeing friends or chlling out in the week and then having coupley weekends was great. Less fun with the kiddies though.
Lauren James says
I know exactly how you feel 😀

Tell me about it – love the fact I get to have a few evenings to myself a week!
