I'm childfree this weekend - phew and hurrah! I'm planning on spending it lying in, flopping around, doing DIY jobs - anyone know how to mend a shower?? It feels like an expensive job to get done so I thought I might try and do something myself but all I can think of to do is to keep on turning it on and off in the hope that it'll change it's mind and work. BUT, in the evenings I'm out - I'm up West with an old friend (male, single, purely platonic!) and we'll go bar hopping and rub around with the great unwashed, have a sherbert or 3, and make a new friend or 2. I always save these 'paint the town red' nights for my childfree weekends so that I can start them early, get ready slowly, and then stay out as late as I want to and get home in any state that I want to!! And then the next morning's lie in spent recovering feels really luxurious as you just can't do that when the kids are around can you? it feels like the BEST use of childfree weekends to me! Will let you know how it went when I'm in the post-recovery stage!
