Hi. How do you ensure you make the most of your child free time. What kind of things do you do?

Sleep is high on my agenda!!! But if I'm lucky enough to get more than just a few hours of child-free time at once, then I'll try to do something that I can't usually do like my card-making hobby.

We are self employed, and I work in the mornings, stay home mum in the afternoons. My child free time is spent at work lol. Hardly fun! We try to have a few times a year where we go out for dinner, or have a night away, but they are few and far between unfortunately.

A good friend of mine and I, a couple of times a year go away for a girls weekend of shopping, coffees & wining & dining which is lovely though.

We have "Date night" once a month.  We take turns at organising it, and leave it as a surprise for the other.  Makes it something to look forward to.  It doesn't have to cost anything - or it could be (as we are tonight) going to a nice restaurant.  It comes around quicker then you think!

Child Free Time?  I've heard of that myth... unfortunately the only childfree time I get is going to work and because I work with an office full of men - it's just as BAD!!!!!! LOL!
