Housework

I am just at the end of my shift as part time house husband (other job footballer). The dinner has been cooked, the washing has been done, and the children have been put to bed. Fiona is out on one of her job's (not that sort!, her Lash Boutique business is just taking off so I am digging in). After the trauma that is homework hour (weekly and they still moan) I emptied the washing machine - which easily gets as much use as Dot Cotton's did in her heyday - to find whites that were now darks and colours that were even more colourful. Nevertheless you cannot beat the banter with the children at home - actually it's just like being at work!!!!.
I was going to talk about the weekend but it has passed, and do you really need to know about Elliott's hygiene misdemeanors, Bev's pack-up contents (18 daily multi-vits and a lot of rabbit food), or Tyronnes' phone deals (moody leather jacket's on offer).
All I will say is that we nearly had tears at the services stop as Mark 'Dingle' Ellis was forced to buy the coffee and cake, 'Eununununun', our new Irish 'so it is' midfielder, gave us a great ballad/rap mix, this all backed up by Saul, who belted out an Oasis number so aggressively that he put 'Charns' off his chocolate cake, and all this topped off by an hours worth of white hot banter on Friday night. A bunch of great lad's they are.
Apologies to the two couples who were situated near our table who must have thought Beadle's About was back on TV. Also can't wait for the forthcoming dance-off - Jake, Kieran, and Chris take your positions please!.

It was great to see my folks (Avy and Mart) at the game, thanks for the children's treats, sorry about the result, and we will all see you soon.

I rose at 5.30 a.m this morning with a tired eyes, a daughter demanding entertainment, but with a clear mind.
Thanks again to Rick (Steve's gym) for the aggression release. Training today good, body good, time now to relax.

P.S Like us all I am very aware of the horrendous tragedy that has affected so many of the people of Haiti, totally unfair and totally devastating. The children are doing their bit at school, as I'm sure thousands are around the county, and millions are around the world.
