I must admit, I have noticed my dear old mother having a propensity to drive into the kerb every 3 seconds....it's rather alarming.

Whever she phones up to say "it's ok, I'll pick you up" my wife often chips in and says she will drive instead.

But it is still true: we offer to do the cooking as well and I think my mum makes an initial fuss but actually is quite glad that we do!

...I'm glad that my partner does the cooking too.....mind you once he starts work (in 2 weeks time) I'll be sharing the washing up.
