I’ll tell you mine if you tell me yours! Grin

Bloody hell, you know you'll have to give us something good after all this!!!!

BertrandRussell · 31/03/2020 09:02

I write Starsky and Hutch fan fic.

Occasionally pornographic Starsky and Hutch fan fic.

Well, I wasn't expecting that! I did used to love Starsky and Hutch back in the day.

BertrandRussell · 31/03/2020 12:18

@ ExpletiveDelighted - there’s Doctors fanfic. I’ll show you where if you promise not to tell my family my guilty secret!

I hope it's not pornographic! Starsky and Hutch yes, Jimmi and Al no!

DH feels we should both break for a civilised midday lunch, and is horrified to find that when I'm writing, I literally don't move from my desk apart from to go to the loo during the working day, and get wildly irritated when interrupted.

LemonSock · 31/03/2020 12:45

He's down there now making asparagus and I can't bring myself to say, 'Look, I want to go back to my desk with a breadstick and the end of a tub of hummus.'

I've threatened to carry out a 'time and motion' study on my husband after seeing how long he spends sitting round reading the paper.

Robin233 · 31/03/2020 13:00

Ha ha
This is a great thread.
Nothing to add ..... as yet.

ComeTheFuck0nBridget · 31/03/2020 13:07

The amount of chocolate I can get through a day. Also where my secret stash is!

EdithHope · 31/03/2020 13:09

My secret smoking habit. They all know about it in theory, that I have occasionally smoked... past tense. They don't know I do it still, but it won't be for much longer once I run out Shock

landoflostcontent · 31/03/2020 13:13

Happily I bought two boxes of home hair dye when they were two for £10 or my DH of 26 years will find out he did not marry a natural blonde Grin

Dyrne · 31/03/2020 13:13

Ooh I read (frequently smutty) fan fiction. Not Starsky and Hutch though - I’m currently hanging around the Marvel fandom!

I do it on my phone though so DP is still none the wiser Grin

BruceAndNosh · 31/03/2020 13:16

I'm worried that they may discover how many chocolates biscuits I eat.
I'm really worried that they might find where I hide these chocolate biscuits

wibblewobblejiggle · 31/03/2020 13:17

I miss day naps.
@BertrandRussell are you on FF or AO3?

BertrandRussell · 31/03/2020 13:17

@LemonSock - to be serious for a moment, you need to do something about that. We’ve got three and a half workers from home here and we actually wrote down formal rules - which can largely be summed up as we leave each other the fuck alone between 9 and 5......

How much cheese I can eat in a single sitting. I have been known to replace packets of it before he gets home. Obviously that is no longer an option so I am suffering serious withdrawal symptoms.

whatsoccuringnow · 31/03/2020 13:18

I've discovered my DH did not give up his weed habit as he claimed last year. He has discovered how much housework I do and how long the days can be with the kids if you don't get off your phone and do some activities!!

NothingIsWrong · 31/03/2020 13:21

I have lost 8lbs though. I do not wish to believe these things are related, but it's possible...

stella47 · 31/03/2020 13:23

I am also entertained by SanFrancisco49Er hoping that her cat has an exercise regime during the day :)
My cat is similar - if I come home early, he pretends to have been awake but as he is strolling downstairs with obvious bedhead, I know the truth :)

Fedupandpoor · 31/03/2020 13:28

@BertrandRussell That's an amazing secret!

TimeForCableTies · 31/03/2020 13:41

I have something illegal I need to do next week (doesn't hurt anyone) and it's quite a big job. I'm looking after small 3 kids on my own 👍 thought they'd be at school 🙃

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 31/03/2020 13:42

@BertrandRussell

I don’t write it but I do read it. Have done for years and DH has no idea. Grin

Toddlerteaplease · 31/03/2020 13:47

@SanFrancisco49er I've discovered the same about my cats. I thought they would be a bit more active, apparently not!
