Any idea what month?
I may be able to lock Mrs Catfish in the understairs cupboard and steal out.

steal out?
what an odd expression

I need to know when too though, cos Mr V's away a fair bit in September and October and I'll need him here to look after the kids

"Steal out" is a rather antiquated expression
Usually used in the context "to steal out of the house under cover of darkness"
