The most tragic thing about the fact that I’ve stopped washing my husband’s pants is that I feel bad about it. That’s how insidious the patriarchy is. I genuinely feel guilty for no longer pretending that washing pants is an act of love. Why have I stopped? It turned out that my anger at never-ending housework is far stronger than this mild and misplaced guilt.

While most of us jostle for five minutes in front of a GP, Dr Camilla Stokholm invites patients into her home, cooks dinner and eats with them. On the menu might be vegetable lasagne, black bean and sweet potato stew, salads crammed with brightly coloured veg or even an Italian torta d’erbe, a traditional pie stuffed with greens and beans, a nostalgic dish for Stokholm who works in the UK but is Danish and grew up in Italy, Switzerland and Australia.

When we speak on Maundy Thursday, Dr Jack Mosley is settling into a family holiday in Dorset. He’s travelled down from his home near Manchester where he works as a GP Registrar for the long weekend, and though one of his two brothers is away travelling, he’ll spend the break with his other brother and his sister, as well as his mother Dr Clare Bailey Mosley, and some of his wider family.

A few weeks ago, my husband came home with a wine I hadn’t drunk in three or four years and hoped never to again. I buy plenty of supermarket wine and enjoy exploring bargain basement brands, but as I plough through my 40s my appetite has shifted from most bottles over six quid to specific favourites costing upwards of a tenner, and much more if from a local vineyard. Quality over quantity, they say.

They say you can’t put a price on love. All the same, estate agents Savills recently had a crack at the unthinkable and calculated the cost of having children, concluding that a couple growing into a family of four will assume the financial burden of £509,314 in the time from birth to the two children reaching 18. Half a million quid to raise a family? There is a sweetener, though. A one-child family can manage on well under half of that; coming in at £172,238.
