Sit around in stunned silence as you realise everything you have in common is currently in a different country.

What to do?

Realise that for the first time in years you can do whatever YOU (2) want to do.

We have been totally child free (excluding visits home) for about 9 years now. It IS a bit odd at first (I realise that this is, effectively, just a practise for you - 15 year old will be around for a while of course) but you soon get used to the refound freedom - another right of passage in life.

For the few days you have just pig out in the evenings, relax, watch rubbish TV and relish each others uninterrupted company for a change.

Paul.
