Never get Alone time - bad luck strikes again.

My wife and I have two kids (8mo and 3). As you can imagine we rarely get time to be alone , solo or together.

We were at my in laws for Christmas. My wife decided to stay with them until New Year but I had to return home for work. I was going to have 2 WFH days and nights solo.

My inland boiler has just packed up on the first evening.... so now my family are coming home early and also bringing the in laws.

I love my family and never want them to go without. But I just want one damn night where I can watch TV, play games and drinking whiskey guilt free.

Was meant to have a day and night 4 months ago as well. But my wifes car battery died so that got cancelled as well!
