    All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy

    Getting a bit bored with the daily grind - up early, kids to school, work, more work, put the kids to bed (if I'm quick/lucky with the commute) and of course the weekend with kids as I'm not spending any during the week.

    Any clever ideas for a one off thing that could break the routine a bit? I have 4 days coming up...
    I'd be most definitely going on my own or with my mates. Some ideas of my own include visit to Iceland (the country not the shop), or some snorkelling/diving somewhere in the Me. I've also considered hiking or climbing somewhere, maybe renting a nice car and cruising aimlessly.
    I might also go to the local watering hole and down some beers, but that's not too high on my list at the moment.

        Bit of a theme to your moan - lose the kids

        In all seriousness, don't know how old your brood is, but I would recommend getting a small boat, then you can do something that they enjoy but gives you "man time" at the same time (fixing engines usually) whislt Mrs Yasockie cleans and prepares food*

        Try it on you long weekend by chartering a boat on the Thames or your nearest canal

          BTCC at Oulton Park 6th & 7th June if you live near enough to the circuit. Brilliant racing in all classes except Clios and great access to the cars and drivers. My boys, 12 & 13, love it.

              Is that for flawless jewels or the heist needs to be flawless?

                Either. You're just going to turn in your accomplices for the reward money anyway.

                  If the jewels are flawed and the heist is flawless, it was profitable, just not as profitable as it could have been.

                  If the jewels are flawless but the heist is flawed, you get to live for some years rent free as a guest of Her Majesty.

                    Amsterdam, see sights, get stoned, pay for hookers see some more sight and come back home. 4 days away from reality will do the trick.
