XLMonkey - just how many times a year do you move house???
On average, about twice. I like to have a flat for the week and a home for the weekend. It's easy to move when all you really need to be happy is a friendly face and a bunch of fresh bananas.
Did you actually ask whether he'd like some young lady with time on her hands to do 'maid's work' in the house while you're away working?
Don't quite remember phrasing the question exactly in that way...silly me. I'll ask him tonight and see what he says...can't think what the answer will be!
Selfish...me?! If I had any expectations of him doing any of the housework whilst I'm away mon-fri I would be seriously disappointed! I did suggest getting someone in to do the cleaning and ironing whilst I'm away, but he went pale at the thought of spending any money on something that he gets done for free at the moment!

My other half hates me being away from home...past baggage of his previous wife having an affair has made him a bit twitchy about what I get up to! Personally, I think it also has to do with the fact that he loses his cook, cleaner, laundrywoman and personal shopper for 5 days a week
That's a bit selfish of you. Couldn't you compromise a bit and do this at the weekend instead of expecting to do all the housework in your absence?

The more I read this thread the more I am convinced we are all married to the same woman.
Or does the standard model come pre-programmed?
I bet you techies all use the same model rubber doll, made by Xinhuan Co. in Peking. But what I don't understand is why not deflate her and take her with you on your trips?
For the last 3 years I have been working in the home/office. It really is an office with the data cables, cabinet housed servers, custom furniture, client seating area etc etc
