Sport or Pampering? I know which I choose!

Last Updated on 29 March 2019 by Colette

When Dave and I were first together in our early twenties I used to joke about being a PlayStation widow – I used to spend my weekends watching him and Woody playing SSX Tricky, I can still hear the soundtrack over a decade later!

Thankfully, although Dave does still enjoy playing games when he gets chance it’s no longer top of his priority list!  On the odd time he does get chance to have control of the tv he’s far more likely to be found watching a bit of Top Gear or Formula 1.  I don’t mind Formula 1 myself, I can’t be bothered to sit and watch the whole Grand Prix but I do quite enjoy the highlights.  We actually went to watch the British Grand Prix at Silverstone a few years ago – the day was somewhat marred by the less than beautiful British summer weather, however the race itself was fantastic.  I’d love to go and watch a street race like Monaco at some point.

I’m lucky really that although Dave does enjoy watching a bit of sport now and again he’s not a complete addict.  (One of his best friends is such a sports whore he’d watch snails racing if it was on telly.)  I’m not sure I could cope with being a proper sports widow however the occasional bit of sport on tv does give me the chance to indulge in a little bit of me time! 

Everyone loves a parcel of treats right?  Next time Dave puts on the Formula 1 I’ll be cracking out my special Pamper Parcel and taking some time for myself. 

 

My fabulous Pamper Parcel – and no, I’m not sharing!

Does your husband have a sport addiction?
