But it sure beats all that "CEO of Domestic Premises" rubbish. <br /><br />I love saying I'm a housewife. It's the first time in my life I can claim to be one. I don't know why I think it's such fun, I just do!

I can't decide whether this sounds more, or less, patronizing than 'house person'. <br /><br />I would just tell people you just sold your business, leave it at that - them they can just imagine how you might have made millions and be living off the proceeds.nappy valley girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10788949037047084412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2133786582796275869.post-44710657902122779932011-10-11T19:34:01.814+01:002011-10-11T19:34:01.814+01:00Don't you just make something up?
