to me this sounds like a shit plan.... shit weather ,you moan when it rains where you are now , what you going to be like when your cloggs are letting in water, work harder !! why would you want to work harder for fuck sake,
sit your mrs down and talk to her , plonk a six pack of Stella on the table in front of her, she'll know she could be getting a slap then.
just go and visit your family or get them to come to you for holidays .
