Things you would do if you had the house to yourself more often


Recommended Posts

Apart from the very obvious, what things would you do if you had more time on your own?

 

Listening to music and reading are my obvious two, but also sitting around watching sport, eating shit and not doing a great deal more are even more appealing, especially at weekends. 
 

I think being as lazy as it’s possible to be is my ultimate ambition.

Unexpectedly had the house to myself all last Sunday. I'd like to say it was all sex, drugs and rock n' roll, but it was actually a bit of  gardening followed by a sausage butty and a big brew watching solid 7/10 action films all afternoon with the cat. Bliss.

I have the house to myself absolutely loads for the obvious reasons of being a divorced bloke with split parenting responsibilities.

 

I opened this thread thinking maybe I'll get s bit of life advice that'll help me get my shit together a bit, but so far its... yep, i do that.

I split up with the missus in 2022 & moved into my own flat, apart from missing the kids during the week, it is bliss. I usually listen to loud music until about 8pm, then watch a film or a couple of episodes of something for 2hrs & finish up with a couple of quiet albums before going to my scratcher.

 

The only problem is I don't have anyone to tell me off about going to the pub so I'll quite often end up in there on a Tuesday night for no good reason.

 

I don't think I could live with a woman again. They just nag constantly & ruin your fucking life.

I hate the phrase but I'd love a "man cave", me and the Mrs are into similar telly but not always, and sometimes you do genuinely just need your own headspace. I also want a wall to put the pic of me and Shatner up, and me and my mates with Tommy Weissau, and the front page I did for a history mag in America about the waffen SS.

Let those poor kids out of the basement and make it the man cave you need.

Snort Ketamine, put some trippy videos on YouTube and blast some old trance/techno. 
 

Probably do something else in the afternoon. 
 

Then back on the Ket after tea. 

 

Yeah, on a similar theme, smoke the odd bit of decent quality hash.

My mrs goes back to Ireland fairly often so I'm on my own fairly regularly.

 

I bought a cannabis vape from Greece last year and I kid you not - I can have 2 pulls and I'm stoned for hours. No one here to judge me except the dog and he's happy as long as I supply him regular treats.

 

Tarantino film binges and kebabs are the go-to set up when it's a male dominated house.

Before settling down I was working up in Newcastle.

 

I used to take a nap for an hour after coming home from work. Watched more sport on the tele, and snorted Ketamine at weekends whilst trying to watch weird visuals on Youtube. 

 

Its now a cup of tea and counting down the seconds until my free time is over.

She actually said what would you do without me nagging you earlier.

If I didn't have her to keep me in check I'd be a complete mess. As it happens she's at the unmentionable, I've just walked the dog and I'm now parked on the couch to watch it then the boxing. Then bed. 

 

Fuck getting old.

And how are the Mrs' secret second family?

My nan fell out with my granddad when I was a kid and came to live with us for about three days, when we went round the curtains were all closed, the place stank of chips and he looked like father Christmas.

Haha.

 

It's her actual family - I have to stay behind because we have a dog who can't handle travelling and is too much for someone to look after.

 

It's a situation that works for both of us. She gets to spend time with her folks, and I can get absolutely stoned without any criticism, and eat junk without any fat shaming.

Happiest 3 days of his life I bet.
