He's tired. You said so yourself. You're not only being reasonable, you're being a good and caring parent. Top marks.

Is it a quality magazine, though?

What magazine?

I'm arsing around on here and ignoring the children and the housework smug in the knowledge I have had a very productive day.

Though I feel twangs of guilt having practically ignored the DC in the park earlier due to a very attractive man.

How dare you sit down, get up, that ironing won't do it's self, and you could do with running the hoover round, what about the cooker, it could do with a clean,,,what did you say..cough?

I think you need therapy to feel guilty about such a thing.

Erm, it's good for children to see their parents doing stuff that doesn't involve them?

Oh bof he was bloody gorgeous. Huge blue eyes, fab tight corkscrew afro, grubby manly hands. He's a single dad and his daughter was a sweetheart too.

Swoon.

He will be in the park the same time tomorrow, he mentioned it casually as we left

Swoon some more.
