I make a good housewife

So far this temporary blip of unemployment has been very busy! I feel like I've cleaned the house from top to bottom, washed everything that can be washed, and have a new ambition to keep the ironing pile at zero! It's not easy!

I have an ongoing joke with Dan that I am auditioning to be a housewife and that he really needs to consider getting a job that pays the equivalent of both our salaries so that I can become a full time housewife! He's not buying it... I've even tried to impress him with ironing his stuff - he wasn't impressed at having crease free rugby shirts, but I think he'll look smart... haha.

Mum and Dad are now in Singapore and it is a strange feeling knowing they are just a hop, skip and a jump away (well, a 6 hour flight). I'm so excited that they are coming to visit - it makes things suddenly dawn on me when I realise just how far they are having to travel to see their baby! I just keep telling myself not to feel bad and that actually I'm doing them a favour whisking them away from mid UK winter to 38c heat, blue skies and sunshine! They need some sunshine and it is my role to give it to them!

Enough for now. The ironing pile has grown 10cm just whilst I've been typing.

(Gosh, isn't life glamourous these days?)
