House Sitting

I have been house and child sitting since Sunday. I still have my own lot to feed and do the school run for. I'm just juggling and it's working fine. Thankfully the 'extra children' leave for their school at 0730 which allows me enough time to hop in my car and leg it three villages over and get my two.

Needless to say my two were most concerned about the important things. Like would I remember to sort out their advent calendars for them.


They might be surprised that I (despite having remembered to have the calendars ready for them to stuff full of chocolate) have a different set of priorities.


Like should I sew first, or swim first. If you're going to house sit then this is the way to do it. In case you are curious, I swam first. I cranked the tunes and hopped into the blissfully empty pool. I like the gym I go to but the pool is never, ever empty.

  3. Susan, this looks like a dream job! Swimming is the only excercise I like. When I housesit the 'London' dog, she takes me to the beach every day. Unforfortunately that place is not good for swimming but I enjoy to stay there. I love the big pool we had in our old house! In fact I got the best ideas in the pool like starting my blog! Have fun! x Teje

  4. I love the calendar chocolates - which pocket have they put the Toblerone in? (Just so I know when to turn up!) I hope that house and child sitting while still feeding your own bairns and taking them to school/dance doesn't also mean that you have two houses to clean. Or not clean, as the case may be... ;o)
