Thanks Searching. Took me 15 months last time, so I'm pleased. Just about to invest in an exercise bike so I can pedal and watch crappy TV at the same time. Hopefully that will help me lose the final bit ready for our holiday in June.

Think I will go and clear out some cupboard space in the kitchen. I bought a new set of pots in the sales and have no space for them!

ETA - MOTM, hope you have Lucy's dinner ready for her when she gets home. I think you are now a house-husband!

Oh new things and lack of space. I know that feeling right now

Dinner wasn't quite ready when she got back, but she was surprised it was on and told me I didn't have too, but she knows i'll try when I can and most days all of our dinners are around 5.30-6 anyway, so it's nice for her to not have to do anything when she comes in, even if i've been working too, albeit from home and collecting the younger girls from school, though not an issue today.

Steady with house husband

Keep at it Searching. It's a marathon, not a sprint. And if it comes off slower it's easier to keep off IMO. And haven't we all put a bit on at Xmas?!!

General take, anyone (especially SAHMs!) - how often do your OHs "abandon you for the day" on their days off, and go do their own thing? Is it a problem for you?

searching_me

bruno i generally abandon philip on my day off as i usually have things to do but he dont care as long as he knows where abouts i am and my phones switched on incase he needs me x

Scruffy - not sure about the Scottish meet. Think Rmac and Csh were kind of organising it. Not heard from Rmac since before Christmas though I don't think. She suggested Jan/Feb.

Are you still in Glasgow? What did you do for the bells? Were you at George Square or anything? And how is the shopping going? I haven't been out to the sales really - the weather has been far too bad. I do like Silverburn though as it's nice and new and the baby facilities are excellent!

Bruno - Not a SAHM (well I suppose I am at the moment whilst on mat leave), but will respond anyway. I suppose it depends on what you mean by abandon for the day. If it was to shirk all childcare responsibilities for 24 hours then I think advance warning and only occasionally would be acceptable. DH's friends stay in England and Wales so they have boys weekends a few times a year and it's not a problem.

If it's just for an afternoon at the football or something then I suppose every other weekend (as long as that was reciprocated and I could go shopping or something for a few hours another day). It would become a problem if it was happening regularly and I wasn't getting any time to myself or there wasn't time spent as a family.
