I can certainly relate to Normal Rob and Stumpy Tim. I like a drink and staying away with work means I drink more than I should and it's something to do to be quite honest. I often start the week with the best of intentions but a supplier is taking me out tomorrow, the in laws are round Friday...
As someone who is 43, this decade so far has been superb. My 30s, certainly the later part, was kids. Nappys, Nusery fees, Teething, and the Kids awake at 06.00. It was rewarding but it wasn't enjoyable.
Now they are older it's better all round. They are killing each other on epic battle...
