A new deal has been struck. A deal that heralds a glorious golden age for the Hughes household. Well, for me anyway.
This week, after about a year of requesting, negotiating, and groveling on my knees my employers have finally allowed me to go part time.
For three days a week I shall be saving lives on the front line of mental health services (ahem), and for the remaining four I will be sitting around the house in my underwear eating doritos and watching Columbo reruns.
Ok, maybe there will be a bit of childcare and housework involved too. But underwear, doritos, and Columbo: that’s my main plan.
Hurrah!

Didn’t need the imagery though. For all I’m fighting it, I’m now thinking “Y-fronts or boxers…?”

It won’t be long before you transition over to full-time SAHD.
And then you’ll be homeschooling.
There will be no end to the madness.
Congrats!
Just one question. How will this affect procurement of a new iTouch?
I hate to even tell you this, but I’m buying an iTouch for my wife for her birthday. It was either that or a new car.

Congratulations with getting your wants – especially as you’ve managed to negotiate with the machine that the NHS is.

and Doritos are not very good for your diet mister! You need to have small sticks of carrot and celery with humus.

Steve – It’s a thong Steve, a pink skimpy thong.
Avitable – Of course the ideal would be less hours for more pay.
Phil – Strangely enough I read your comment on my brand new touch I bought on monday. Oh yes, life is good.
And the butterfly net does come into it on the odd occasion.
NM – Hello! I haven’t touched bases with you in a while. As you know, sometimes it pays to have more time with your family than on the job. Keeps you seeing a positive side to the world.
Xbox – Well, I was recording it daily anyway. But now I see it LIVE!
People in the Sun – I wouldn’t like to do your laundry.
SingleParentDad – I was thinking about calling the post “I ain’t flying fool” but I’m not sure it would have worked.
James – I can’t work out if you are spam.
Gail – Doritos are corn based, and sweetcorn is free on slimming World. Therefore I can eat as much as I like surely?
Rol – no matter how hard I try, I can never forget Murder she wrote
Penelope – Don’t get me started on Jeremy Kyle. That man is the worst example of humanity on this earth.

Don’t forget my other comfort viewing of choice (other than the Munsters, Addams Family, any Hammer Horror or Roger Corman malarky) Randall and Hopkirk Deceased and The Champions on ITV4 – retro bliss.
