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!

OK that was a visual I probably didn’t need. Just don’t wipe the Doritos dust on your underwear, could be embarrassing…

Good stuff, I’m chuffed for you, despite the fact I’m also monumentally jealous. :)
Didn’t need the imagery though. For all I’m fighting it, I’m now thinking “Y-fronts or boxers…?”

It’s a good thing to get less hours of work and less pay?
Oh yeah… You’re now a part-time stay-at-home dad!
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.

By the way, was I right? Does part of your job involve chasing after people with a giant butterfly net while Benny Hill music plays in the background?

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

Be careful. Sometimes I wear Doritos and eat my underwear.

Hi, I found your blog on this new directory of WordPress Blogs at blackhatbootcamp.com/listofwordpressblogs. I dont know how your blog came up, must have been a typo, i duno. Anyways, I just clicked it and here I am. Your blog looks good. Have a nice day. James.
Oh dear, you really are a one. I have an image of you wearing grubby white Y fronts like Oz’s from Au Weidersen Pet now.
and Doritos are not very good for your diet mister! You need to have small sticks of carrot and celery with humus.
Don’t forget Murder She Wrote.

If this floats your boat Dan then I am very happy for you ;o)
Penelopes last blog post..In which I flash The Delicious Man.
Mike – There is a joke of which the punchline is “I just sit around the house eating Cheetos and watching porn”, but i won’t repeat it here.
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.
Dans last blog post..I love it when a plan comes together
I’m with the traumatized people..the dorito’s and Columbo I can stand (even enjoy..I’ve watched my share of Columbo) but the underpants….and then the sweating…*runs off*
Arjans last blog post..Shooty warriors rééémixxxxx
Good plan! Apart from the underwear.
Arjan – I never said anyhting about sweating
(un)relaxeddad – You don’t think I should wear underwear?
You wear underwear? Doritos are much better commando. Trust me.
That’s great! Underwear for all the men!

Boxers or briefs?
Just don’t get too complacent and forget the underwear. Oh, and try to wear colored briefs since that orange dust is real noticealbe on tigty whities.
Jamess last blog post..Easy Rider!
@ Dan: maybe not in this post, but our collective traumatized memory goes back to somewhere around the Dale’s walk..where you did mention to be a very sweaty man :P
My lovely but naughty chum Matthew reckons Jeremy Kyle’s ‘firm and abusive way of awakening one’s social conscience has been viciously misrepresented by the bleeding heart media’ and I wonder if he has a point ;-)
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.
Mortica – Just like bear baiters firmly awaken the audiences apreciation of animal cruelty.
My ultimate comfort viewing is Last of the summer wine. I know it’s not fashonable, but i love it.
Congrats. I wish I could do the same.
