On the benefits of having a lodger

With thanks to my blonde friend, for whom this is written. There are pros and cons to everything. I know that. In the case of taking on a lodger this year, I've been able to pay off the mortgage quicker and get in more holidays too. If that were everything, that would be enough in most cases. But there's other positives, for sure, like having someone to come home to when I've been working late. It's even better that the person can cook. I'd swear I've eaten better this year. And, though it kind of hurts my feminist sensibilities to admit it, is sometimes nice just to have a guy around the house. I'm still not sure my mum approves, mind you. "Catherine," she says (that's me by the way, I'm Catherine, nice to meet you), "what are boys going to think when you bring them back here and they see all his toys cluttering the place up?" Quite apart from the contradiction that she seems to disapprove of me living with a guy I'm not sleeping with but perfectly happy with premarital sex, it's the fact she still calls guys I'm dating boys, even though I'm in my 30s, that I find infuriating. Still, if it winds her up, that's another positive, I guess. There are other pluses mind. Ones that I'm not so ready to admit to to friends, and certainly not my mum. Things like the smell. I'll confess, the smell of Tony (that's his name) when he comes in, fresh off one of "his toys", still dropping in fresh sweat, gets me... Oh god, I'm getting all embarrassed admitting this, but I guess I can say it ...
