Laurie has been busy today doing the shopping for the week. He is in charge of the kitchen!
He prepares a menu on Saturday for all the food for the week, and then shops for it, and will cook it for all of us. This works really well as I have a demanding job and after 20 years of doing all the house and kitchen management myself I'm happy to let someone else have some responsibility. The girls are encouraged to help when they are free, and willing!
His job entails a bit of travel to China and the US so I still have to jump in and do it all sometimes.













I stayed home with the girls full-time until Angela was 20 and then returned to full-time work so I've been lucky to have good support now I'm not at home with all the chores.

Laurie travels a long way to work each day and his car is wearing out. I've been given the opportunity to salary sacrifice and include a car. So today we went for a test drive in an i20 and were very impressed. I think we will "do the math" a see if its worthwhile to have. It will also be the car Geraldine will have access too when she gets her licence, in a couple of months.

Laurie is usually the photographer !
