It’s been an amazing week off, one that’s been well deserved and I would like to say a relaxing one but we’ve had one busy time! We have literally crammed in as much as possible from the moment I arrived back home last Friday to now. Let me fill you in on what happens when a Dad becomes temporarily unemployed!
- Buy a New Car – Amazing MPG, Peugeot 508 SW.
- Gulliver’s World – Family trip with friends.
- Swimming – Oh we love swimming!
- Visit a local urban garden/allotment charity day – Visit pigs, goats and raise money for the local community.
- Orrell Water Park – A beautiful day out with friends at the park chasing ducks and having fun on the swings.
- Costa – Who doesn’t love a Costa while Mrs P takes a break.
- Buy New Chickens – Yes we bought new chickens. Don’t ask.
- Drive to Peterborough for Roof Bars – I’ve officially become a fully Dadified Dad.
- New Rabbit Hutch in Leicester – While in Rome! Mrs P wanted a Rabbit Hutch for the chickens to lay. Haha.
- BBQs
- Building the Palmer Pavillion – We’re nearly there with the Summerhouse conversion and I’m still getting there. But officially moved in this week!
- Gardening – Long way to go but we’ll get there!
However.
Working away is difficult however it’s nothing compared to the non-stop commitment that’s required for being a stay at home parent. And for that, thank your Mrs P.
Are you a stay at home parent? Would love to know your views on what it takes to also be an amazing one!
