It's always nerve wracking having time to yourself to do something rather lovely that you've been looking forward to. You know you're always going to have to 'pay' for it in some way or other. As I turned the corner in the car and approached our house, I fantasised about what it might be like to drive past and keep on going. Of course that's not an option so I dutifully pulled up outside the house and wondered what fresh new hell awaited me inside. Actually it wasn't as bad as I'd anticipated but it didn't take long to get sucked back into domesticity, another wash on , what's for tea , have you done your homework yet ? Same old , same old.
