Not me, obviously.
My 1st day off at home, for well over a month.
Happens to arrive on the sunniest day for quite some months, fan-blooming-tastic, I thinks.
But oh know, Wifey has other ideas, and orders a load of Ikea wall units to arrive.
I'm amazed they only go and arrive at 9:30, giving me a full 2+ hours before nursery kicks out.
So there I am surrounded by 5 different units, in a silent house, looking out the window at the clear blue sky.
Typing this now, I still can't believe I did it, but I made the units.
I bet it now rains on my day off for the rest of the year.

It was beautiful up here this morning. I headed along to Roker on my MTB. That's two days running of cycling in bright sunshine and what a difference it makes from overcast, rain, sleet, hail or snow.0

The forecast for the next few days is pretty good too - so there's a good chance you may be able to get out soon.

I was deffo cursing myself, until I tried to do 1 'finishing' job (10mins max) with Wifey and my 5 year old in the house:-
what you doing,
what you doing,
does that bit go there,

what you doing now,
does that go there,
I think that should go there
what you doing,
don't swear in front of the kids, why are you in such a foul mood

Heh Heh. I've now put together so much flat packed furniture my wife and I have an understanding. I put it together, she takes my son out of the room, closes the door and entertains him out of ear shot of all the effing and jeffing that always ensues. After several hours I emerge, sweaty, exhausted and usually with the skin missing off a couple of knuckles where the allen key slipped, to a hero's welcome....Head Hands Heart Lungs Legs0 -

Agree.
My wife and i also have an understanding that if she wants stuff done/built/decorated she leaves me alone apart from bringing coffees, holding bits up that require help and thats it. All my kids are at school full time now, it is quiet after 10 years and 3 kids growing. Nice.0 -

Agree and agree
The only other necessary item is a decent sound system in the room you're working in.
