Ah... the lovely ladies. We'd miss them
if they weren't there, wouldn't we? Well perhaps if they weren't
there at all, ever. But what if they weren't
there for just a bit? Maybe just a
weekend? Why then we probably wouldn't miss them
at all - we'd probably have a brilliant time - if only we knew how
to make the most of our free time.
We've teamed up with good people of Orange to come up with 10
great things to do while the cat's away...
1.
Play sports: From thrashing your mates at golf, to falling off a
surfboard,
doing a bit of sport at the weekend is fun and healthy and it'll
make you feel great.
2.
Watch sports:
If all that sounds a bit energetic, why not just watch
sports rather than play them?
You don't need to be fit, you don't need fancy
equipment, you don't even need talent.
Everyone can be brilliant at watching
sports. You can go along to a sports ground if
you're feeling enthusiastic, if not, why not just watch sports at
home. It's a great way to while away the
weekend. We've got some armchair sports guides
to get you started...
3.
Drink beer: Or drink anything really. Your
missus's isn't around and she can't stop
you. Drinking beer is an ideal way to
enjoy a free weekend. If that feels a bit lazy,
why not go on a wine-tasting
course? That way you're drinking AND
learning.
4.
Go on tour: This is great time to explore the town or city you live
in. You can go wherever you like and no-one will complain about
their aching shoes and how there's a sale on at French
Connection. Even the smallest towns have got
great hidden histories and museums. A weekend on
your own is a good time to find out about them.
5.
Buy expensive black goods; Do fancy some new
speakers? New stereo? New LCD
TV? Find a good specialist store where you can
spend a really long time testing things out and buy yourself the
black goods you deserve. Remember, if she
didn't want you to have them, she shouldn't have gone away for the
weekend.
6.
Enjoy the great outdoors: Alternatively, get out of the city all
together. Go camping, light
fires, climb trees. Remember how cool camping
was when you were a kid? It's still that cool.
7.
Get the boys round and have a curry: But put some effort into
it. Don't get it from a takeaway - cook
something delicious. Indian food can be
surprisingly easy to cook - including this
chicken curry which only takes 10 minutes.
Go on, give it a try.
8.
Have a poker tournament: They're feeling fat, happy and full
of curry. Now's the time to win a ton of cash
from your mates at poker.
9.
Hey - Have some YOU time: this is your one opportunity to
have as much time as you like in the bathroom.
So use it wisely.
10. Clear up. Uh-oh, she's
on her way back and you may have some clearing up to
do. Follow this guide and greet her
with a tidy home and a big smile. She'll never
guess what you've been up to...
Have fun!
