I’m trying to persuade Philippa to book a holiday. We’ve saved quite a nice amount since starting this house-sitting lark, and I think it would be nice to have a good trip abroad in late Spring. Philippa says we can’t because we mustn’t desert a house while we’re sitting in it, so I said we should book it for after we finish at David and Beckys and before we go into somewhere else. Philippa then said we should use the savings as a deposit for a house, so I said there’s no point trying to buy at the moment as prices are so uncertain. So Philippa then said we should keep saving for when we have children, so I said if we’re going to get into The Family Game this’ll be the last chance we have for a holiday with just the two of us, and shouldn’t we take advantage of that and enjoy it? And so the long evening of debate goes on… and on… and on…
I’d better get back to her now as I’m sure she must have come up with another pot of pessimistic piss to throw on my optimistic parade by now.
