I think ultimately it doesn't really matter how you get out, just that you do.
It's technically our anniversary today (husband decided after we got married that we wouldn't celebrate this one anymore- just the wedding anniversary (and we've not done that either for a number of years) 17 years of my life; however I've got my daughter to show for it which on balance is well worth it, and there won't be an 18th anniversary and that thought makes me happy.

I suspect she won't access this unless she is 100% sure she will not be noticed at home. The last thing she needs is to be caught out. Gives me the shivers just to think of it.

Yes that's right. I deliberately don't access MSE on my phone unless I'm on my own for the weekend. (I always use duck duck go when I do use my phone so I can completely clear the history but I'm always concerned that I'm on the diaries and he randomly walks into the room or that I forget to clear the page and he uses my phone for something and then sees it.)
So most of the time I just stick to my work laptop when I have a quiet minute as it's something that he'll never have access to.
It's all good- plodding away. My daughter went with my sister in law to see a premiership women's football game this weekend and loved it. I showed her some chants and songs on youtube before she went and she actually started a chant that was taken up by the entire stadium! So she was well pleased.
I hired a rugdoctor whilst she was away and spent 7 hours cleaning all the carpets and rugs this weekend. Also managed to pick up a new filofax and put in into my paperwork drawers so one of the things I'll do next week when I'm off on my own is separate all my paperwork (old P25s from jobs/pension stuff/daughter's savings account etc) from the rest of the filing so I've got all the things I need to keep.
At some point this week I'll go and measure up the new house and then start thinking about what furniture.
My in laws dropped us off a microwave at the end of last week (they're having their kitchen redone atm) so at the moment we're seeing whether we like the new one better than our current one- however either way I'll not have to buy a microwave. I've asked husband if I can bring the one we don't want into work which he's agreed to.Bottom line;

Oh and some more good news; been offered and signed another contract to exam mark in June. Last year I made something like £2,800. Should be able to mark more this year given I will be able to mark freely whilst at home.Bottom line;
