To need a bit more fun?

It's a tenuous AIBU - but I need some advice and wasn't sure where to post.

My husband works away Monday to Friday - I work full time and have three boys, 7, 4 and 11 months. I don't resent the situation, my husband is self employed and right now has to go where the work is.

But, we have no family within a 2 hour drive and so during the week I can't actually leave the house. I've found myself in a bit of a downward spiral - too much wine, too much snacking in front of the TV and I'm just feeling pretty low.

I know I'm definitely not the only person in this situation so... aibu to feel a bit low - and does anyone have any advice / good websites / blogs / resources to help me stop this downward spiral before it gets too big?

Right now it's just a bit miserable but I don't want it to get worse. I basically need a kick up the backside to get over myself probably- but if anyone has anything they can signpost me too then I'd appreciate it x

Can you invite friends round to yours to socialise once the kids are in bed?

Move near family if he works away?
