Never mind, I've spent quite a few years living solo, or part-time solo, and I'm sure you'll be able to adapt to the new situation fairly quickly! :haha:
Never feel that guilt, or the rolling pin again!
Solo (or part-time solo- my current status) I can tell you has some quite distinct advantages for the addicted modeller :lolno:
Dogs (Westies in my case) are the ideal companions. As long as they get a walk, food, and some play every day, they couldn't give a toss about your hobbies- no matter how bizarre they might be :haha:

Oh, I don't know, my dog and two cats give me some strange looks. . . . .
Well, Mick, that might be more to do with your modelling- of -underpants antics.... than your 1/16 modelling activities... ;) :crazy: :haha:
