That's about it really. DP is off at 4.30 tomorrow morning to catch his flight to Barcelona for his stag weekend. DD is going to be in 5 minutes and I have just sat and watched him cuddle her like he's never going to see her again, kiss her a hundred times and tell her a millions time how much he loves her and that she is Daddy's special little lady.
I feel like crying :(

No way, DP is well up for it, haven't heard about anything else for the last 3 weeks or so. I know he will have a great time when he gets there and gets in the swing of things.
He has been on 2 stag weekends in the last year, both of which were my brothers. First in Barcelona on St Patrick's day, he is Irish, was a complete and utter state, had phone call from my brother saying he though DP was going to die whilst trying to play golf the next day. Next time in Amsterdam they had been there about 6 hours and I got a phone call from DP that i doubt anyone else could've understood..... turned out he was lost in the middle of Amsterdam, absolutely shit faced, could hardly speak. And now it's his stag .......

Exactly Soupy. Hence the reason I booked my hen weekend for the weekend before the wedding. I know he would try and get it otherwise and there was no way that was going to happen.

Sure all will be fine once we get going tomorrow.

She won't know how long he's gone for, Esmummy - little children have a very vague concept of time. If she seems to be looking for him just say cheerfully something like "Daddy back soon" and she'll be fine Smile

bloody hell, I only whent to fill up my wine glass and look what I missed!!

Congratulations Esmummy, whens your wedding.

Well its going great already. They landed 2 hours ago, DP promised he would ring as soon as they got to hotel so i know they arrived OK, he hasn't phoned and his mobile is switched off. I know it works because he has taken it to Barcelona before.
I knwo they are all OK because my DB's have checked in with SIL's and they have relayed messages to me. Do feel a bit Angry that he hasn't called because now i know he will call tonight when he is wrecked and wont be able to speak with DD which is completely what i wanted to avoid.

Last time DP was away for the week, he phoned up all sentimantal about the kids. I handed phone to DD1 who says, 'Dad, can you call back later - we're watching Charlie and Lola at the moment - I'll put you back to mum'.

He was gutted Grin

Oh yeah, shouldn't imagine DD will be bothered about talking to him, especially if Balamory is on. Just means I will have to put up with a conversation that wont make any sense, DP banging on about how much he loves me and DD blah blah blah. Its why we agreed to call in the morning so we don't have those annoying conversations.

I would leave him to it tbh, if he is in a big group it may slip his mind to phone.

Ohh, stag weekends have been a sore spot in our house for weeks. DP was insisting he was going on one, even though he couldn't afford it and we have to find 2k to meet conditions of the mortgage. Made out all his friends would hate me; only we went out last weekend, and we were talking about it and they were completely understanding of why DP shouldn't go. Plus the fact he has a new 'do' to look forward to next year when we should be more financially settled means things are a little more peaceful in our household now Wink.

I can understand what you mean, EM, DP was supposed to be going to Prague which as I understand it was supposed to have developed a bit of a reputation for drugs, cheap booze and prostitutes. My plan was just to not take any calls from him while he was away, my DS is 18 months so won't miss a phone call! He'll be back before you know it.

cod · 18/05/2006 19:28

not taking clals works MUCH better than the" "ANGRY WIFE O N PHONE" routine IMFE

it drives them demented wiht guilt
