Default I'm home alone - what should I do ?

Mrs HS and the bairns are in the UK. I have an empty house for another week. I feel certain that I should (indeed I'll be expected to) be mowing the nature strip, tending to the pool, fixing that toilet seat, shopping and ironing.

However any suggestions as to what I COULD be doing ??!!

Spend 12 hours testing the new unpacked Wii ?

Ordering take aways for 6 days ?

Watching sport solidly all weekend ?

Finally visiting Sexyland (I'm curious) ?

Hosting my own house party and advertise it on Facebook (ala Corey) ?

Anything I've missed ? All ideas will be considered.

Impossible, my life is inextricably linked to the Big Yin.

Aye, its the culture I miss !

Now on a mission to introduce Pish, Fud and Joby/Jobbie (amongst others) into the local dialect. As a native of Alloway I'm sure Rabbie is turning in his grave as we speak.

You forgot- sample all the varieties of OZ beer so you can recommend a good one.

Great idea. I may need to start this soon as it appears that I've been listening to Ronan Keating for 20 minutes and I haven't changed the ipod.
