[spacechimp]

Tidying.

[josaphine32]

I cleaned the house from top to bottom at lunch time!!! i could put the washing away, i will do that for 10 mins thanks

run a nice hot bath, relax in it, then put some nice music on, read a book or get engrossed in some puzzles! just relax and enjoy some time for yourself, everyone deserves a bit of that, ENJOY!

Get a few friends around, crack open a couple of bottles of wine, and have a good old chin-wag

[dilf]

youve got the house to yourself get a fella in and get yourself a right good seeing to.

Dare I suggest.... you're probably too late for this week-end but... This is a good time to pluck the brows, go blackhead hunting, shave the legs, manicure both sets of nails, etc. ALWAYS have some good books ready for these week-ends. You'll find it difficult to begin with but after a while you'll start to get other ideas of how to spend your 'free' week-end. The important thing is not to make your daughter feel guilty that she's had a nice time with daddy but mum's a gibbering wreck when she gets home. Sorry - I sound like an Agony Aunt but so many of us have been there. You do survive in the end but it's very hard.

josaphine, I am in exactly the same position as you. My kids have gone to their dads for the weekend. Its horrible isnt it? We could chat on here for a while! lol

[Ward-Minter]

Buy a rabbit.

[Minxie]

This was a serious question. Obviously you have not been in the same situation ward-minter

[spacechimp]

Lighten up Minxie

[Minxie]

Not being heavy spacechiimp, but spending a weekend by yourself, when the kids are with their dad. All your friends are married etc etc, can make you feel very isolated. I was just being sympathetic to josaphine.

[spacechimp]

You were being heavy though.

[shaneystar2]

Ever been stuck on your own spacechimp with no one around and nothing to do ? Got any kids have you ? Even though I am happily maried for 34 years if my family are not there I miss them.
Have a nice rest josaphine ..make some me time ..have a drink.. pamper yourself, read a book ..get your mates round and have a chinwag ...roam around AB .. and take no notice of silly monkeys.

Hi. Obviously you have a computer.

Why not try a few online competitions.

It is amazing what prizes there are out there to be won.

And it costs you NOTHING.

Go to www.competitorscompanion.com to give you an idea

What u should do is go wild put a pair of knickers around ur head drink a bottle of wine and just do some crazy stuff u wouldn dream of doing. slide down the stairs on ur bum anything it will be great hahahah. just dont cry she'l be home soon

[spacechimp]

Shaneystar, my life is spending time on my own with nothing to do. I didn't say anything negative about josaphine

[Drisgirl]

josaphine - I know how you feel-went thro the same thing when got divorced now current husband works away and kids have flown the nest.I have shed tears - but now I cant wait to get the house to myself when they all come back at different times.

Go to your pals house with a bottle of wine and have a blether-or get the girls round.Organise a night out with the girls and remember you have the house to yourself if need be.Thats what I did - no harm done to anyone - and you get a little boost.

Forget cleaning - you can do that anytime - get back into this big bad world we call life:)It can be fun - honest!!

Shaney/Minxie, Spacechimp alleges that he/she is 14 by means of explaination.

[spacechimp]

What has my age got to do with this question?

[shaneystar2]

Quite a lot spacechimp ..because if you are fourteen you have obviously never been through what josaphine and minxie are going through so you have no reason to tell someone to "lighten up".
