Lesley Ure – You want everything to go wonderfully
Simon: When everyone wants everything to go wonderfully can bring a pressure of its own, because you’re, ‘it’s got to be brilliant’ and then it’s … yeah, it becomes tense because you’re trying to be brilliant (laughs).
That’s true, that was my world (laughs) so absolutely I remember just … you know he’s just been away; you just want him to see everything at it’s best because you appreciate that haven’t been fortunate enough to be around their children for that time, their family, their friends, sleep in their own beds, you know be able to go to kitchen when they want.
All these freedoms that you know I suppose I would just take for granted, so you just want the house to be tidy, of course the kids are to be behaved perfectly and not get dad (laughs) and everything’s going to be perfect.

I don’t know what it was down to but certainly when I look back now I think that was absolutely ridiculous and why did you waste so much energy on that because I ended up ruining it then when I would get stressed that it wasn’t all going perfectly, so I was the problem (laughs), not the fact that I hadn’t put that last load of washing on before he came home, so (laughs).
