I experienced a moment of absolute panic tonight; my mother-in-law came round unexpectedly …

BUT, my MIL is a really lovely person, so while I’m busy judging myself for the muddled, mucky state of my house, she is full of genuine understanding of my stressful, busy job and makes kind offers to lend a hand.

No wonder she has such a loving, kind son. Lucky me.
