    Brilliant find for the writing group Fortune.

    I'm the same as you in terms of forgetting what hubby looks like. He went away last Thursday. Is back Saturday night, leaving Sunday. Back by the next weekend. It can be hard, but I get used to the house being tidy and devoid of piles of things he's had out and not put away.

    Ditto on the absent husband front. Mine will have been home for a total of eight days in August! And a whole two weeks of July :rotfl:

    Echoing WishingTMA, it's nice having a tidy house, and I don't mind a bit of solitude :)

    Thanks guys. We may have found a solution to the absent husband situation...

    They were a very inspiring bunch and had a lot of experience. I think I'll learn a lot from attending.
