With Swmbo and son in New zealand for ten days I won't have to:

# run around the house witching off lights and TV sets

# do constant nightly door patrols to see that the warmth doesn't escape to the outside.

# remind the offspring of 4 minute showers.

# do jobs not done because they were going to be done "later".

# get dragged to go shopping.

And you want us to believe you are going to have fun... :roflmao2:

You know the moment SHMBO comes back and says did you miss us you will say Yes ...
This will naturally be followed by did you finish those jobs I asked you to do while we were away...

Been there done it all, its just a dream that has a nasty bit of reality at the end..

Enjoy the dream, just keep it all clean, the house I mean.

Just make sure that you do the pile of dishes in the sink and vacuum the floor on the night before they get back

With Swmbo and son in New zealand for ten days I will:

# leave all the lights on and sleep on the couch with the TV on

# run the biggest, hottest fire I can with all the doors and windows open to keep me warm while wearing only the one pair of undies I'll put on for 10 days

# have half hour showers...or maybe just one before they get home

# do jobs I *want* to do, for myself

# eat only home delivered food stuffs

:hpydans::hpydans::hpydans:


There, I fixed that for you ;)

What's wrong with shopping. We all need to eat. How are you going to bring the food home if you do not go out shopping.

Keeping the progeny to the proscribed showering time is a major pain. I'm a little envious, but then I saw that you're living in Brisbane, and my envy went. Worst designed / managed city oin the country.

We got a water-resistant digital timer off ebay and the rule is 4 mins.

The daughter used to stand under the shower for about 15 minutes each day.

yep, mine were known to while away the hours under the shower,
my response was to buy one of those super economy shower heads that needled the first few layers of skin off.... shorter showers resulted.:2tsup:
Except I hate those things,:(( I like those huge water wasting shower roses.
the problem was solved by fitting a quick release modified airhose fitting to both roses.
when the kids finished . I could do a quick change and have a nice short fat shower.

I'd be happy if I could get my son DOWN to 15mins. He'd spend 15mins just on his hair :doh:
