ailbheWell, Rob and I aren't going to get to go out. He worked late last night / this morning so will have to get to bed early tonight, and tomorrow he's scheduled to work late again.
Keeping track of his overtime doesn't help much because he never takes the time off in lieu for normal stuff, he just uses it for appointments and similar. So the domestic side of things never gets caught up.
WHY is work the ultimate priority for everyone? Even when it's past 1 am and you're expected in work at 8:30 am? It doesn't seem *right* that he can't schedule his TOIL for sleeping in, rather than having to eat into our one realistic chance to go out as a couple since four weeks before Linnea was born.
Plus, I've just discovered that my mother-in-law has a key to my house, without my having known about it.

Date: 2006-07-27 04:56 pm (UTC)I still have a key to my mum's house, but ALWAYS phone her in advance if I want to stop off en route to Manchester, or borrow her driveway, or fix stuff for her or use her toilet en route somewhere or rest there. If I don't know in advance that I wish to use her house I always SMS her to say "Can we use your house please". If SMses aren't replied to, I always leave a note to say "We were here, did X (fixed X) and will phone later, thanks".
