    wrap it in a plastic bag, like a tesco carrier or something, and hide it in the cistern in one of the bogs. Put a big L on the door so you remember which one

      Wrap it up and give it to him for Xmas, another thing off the To-do list

        I suspect the OP's husband planned this all along and is looking forward to receiving a hardly used HP laptop.

            As others have said - get a wheel along, looks like no-one carries them in here.
            BUT - your body is more than capable of carrying that weight over long distances, especially properly supported in a backpack. You just need to give it time to adapt to the increased requirement, couple of weeks should do and you will feel better for it/use more calories etc
            In other words - man up woman.....

              Nick his laptop then. You'll find it much lighter, quicker to boot, and easier to use
