Michele : My week is really busy because I work full time and I look after my family. It’s the same situation for most modern women.

At the weekend, I clean the house. Sometimes Paul helps me, but I do most of it. I have to ask the kids to tidy their room – it’s always a mess !

I go to a Zumba class every week with my friend Emily. I love this class ! We jump and dance and shout. I have so much energy in this class ! We usually go on Thursday after work. I don’t usually have time at lunch time. My clients are often free at this time to visit houses.

We eat dinner together as a family in a restaurant once a week, a Friday night. We often go to our favourite restaurant, La Cucina. Paul likes hamburgers, but we never go to a hamburger restaurant. I know Paul often goes to it for lunch with his colleagues !

My parents don’t live close to us, so I call them at the weekends. They don’t work –they’re retired- but they’re always busy. They are always going on holiday, they have so many activities ! We see them two or three times a year. We go to see them during Christmas and for a week during the summer. They hardly ever visit us ! But they have a bigger house, so it makes sense for us to stay with them.
