Well, I nearly managed it. We ate, then took Charlie up for his bath at 6:30. I bathed him, got him out and dried and dressed him, then took him into his bedroom and got him tucked up in bed and started reading to him (quietly so DH didn't know!!
). But, then my friend phoned my mobile, so instead of telling her I'd call back, DH brought it upstairs to me!
I tried to tell my friend that I'd phone her back, but she's having loads of personal problems at the min, and broke down on the phone, poor love.
So I carried on talking to her, DH just picked Charlie up and took him downstairs.
I couldn't argue with him as my friend was in such a state. He did fall sleep within 30 seconds of sitting downstairs though, so a minor win for me as he normally doesn't do that.
DH is now snoring on the sofa and I've not had a chance to have a go at him yet. Oh well, another day, another go tomorrow!
