It’s a good job women are good at multi-tasking.  Bearing in mind I am working full-time, we came home from a trip to the park and I embarked on cooking our tea.

My husband wanted to talk through some marketing methods with me, which I will be able to use for a ’secret’ project that I am working on at the moment.  (It’s secret until I can organise the action plan which will take the next week or so to come up with.)

Anyway, my husband obviously needed my attention, but as a woman I knew there were lots of other things I needed to be doing as well in preparation for tomorrow.  So I put the dinner in the oven knowing I had an hour before it would be cooked.

I asked my husband to stand by me while I peeled the vegetables, so I could listen to him. I also put washing on, put a load in the tumble dryer, took the vegetable peelings up to the composter and ironed all the school uniforms and associated clothes for tomorrow - before the meal had finished cooking, I hasten to add.

I only nearly slapped him once when he tutted as I walked off to do one chore (which he denies doing).  But like I said to him, by doing all these things during the cooking I was free to talk even more about the marketing later.

And guess what, we covered the ground he wanted to at the same time.

I have just finished making yummy pancakes at my son’s request and it is now the bedtime routine.   I already know that hubby is fast asleep in the chair as I’ve just peeped round the living room door while I was cleaning the kitchen. 

It was obviously very taxing talking to me about marketing wasn’t it!  I am naughty really, he is trying, but like all good wives, I wouldn’t swap him for anything. 

Sorry, did someone mention white toblerone!
