In the doghouse!!

[TomLane]

I'm in the doghouse with her indoors big time at the minute! Oooopsy!

I've booked work in for this Friday & following Monday not realising that it was a bank holiday or Easter weekend! It's not usually a problem but my missus was particularly looking forward to an extended weekend together with me about & the kids! Our youngest is 5 weeks old & she feels I haven't had much chance to bond with him!

To make matters worse I have booked in 3 days working away for a customer down in Devon for Wednesday, Thursday, Friday next week!

So I've now got to think of something that we can all do this weekend that will make up for me working so much!

Suggestions welcome!

What's everyone else got planned for the weekend, extended or otherwise?

All weekend?

Someone's got to do it I suppose!

In my house.. At least I can see the kids that way

Not so bad, I felt for you then having to work all weekend if it wasn't at home!

There is nothing you can do except gently remind her of or advise her that in this business there will be many days when she wishes you were over booked.

Now you could come up with the explanation that the new extra comfortable child buggy is about the same price as the pay you are getting for the extra hours.

don't worry, you're not digging a hole for yourself that or somewhere like it is where the money will end up.

Good point! Think her main grievance is like I say that I've been so busy & she worries I am working too hard & the break would have done me good!

Ho hum, I'm sure we'll enjoy the weekend anyway!

Take them down to the local mosque and tell them you no longer celebrate Easter.

There's just so many to choose from round this way! Where do I start?!?!

 

[Bunker]

Book some time out either side of the next weekend you can, show her it booked in your diary and tell her this weekend was unavoidable. Oh, and grovel.

[Barry98]

Rookie mistake

 

[TomLane]

Thanks for that Bod.

Hammers, where abouts in Devon are you?

 

[plumber0808]

Book a day out somewhere off your own back without being told to do something.
I've never done it but it sounds like a good idea.

i go where I'm told.

Horrible. I literally just walked through the door with enough time to have a 2 minute cuddle and say goodnight. Gutted.

Days like today, I just wanna get home, eat and go straight to bed, as they're not worth seeing through to the end.
