The glove box is now full of cds, because, oh yes it has a cd player (the current family car does not). It also has speakers in the back & so my children keep asking me to 'turn it down!'. We travel everywhere with a soundtrack. Florence + The Machine has featured heavily and last week I started to educate my girls with the early works of Madonna.
After we purchased my car I found a CD in the glove box labelled 'Housework CD'. This made me smile, partly because I avoid housework like the plague and also it's a little bit of the previous owner has been passed on to me.
Today on the way home from work I stuck it in the cd player to have a little listen. I was a little excited if I must admit (I know I should get out more), just wondering what delights might be on it.
Well it's a mixture, I thought. The Bangles, Ronan Keating, Wings and ah, The Foundations, one of my favourite songs ever (although I was never entirely sure who sang it, until now)
and Blondie's Sunday Girl which will always have a little corner in my heart
But who was this woman who loves Blondie & Ronan Keating, Hot Chocolate & The Bangles. I was day dreaming of a woman house proud but a bit put upon hence the inclusion of I Want to Break Free & I Will Survive....and then I realised it has written on it CD 1. Perhaps she made a series of compilations for household chores? Tunes to Change the Bed To, Ditties for Scrubbing the Bathroom?
But alas no, just a quick search on Amazon & I found this
not only that but there is a plethora of other housework music cds.
Now my imaginary housewife isn't trying to express herself through a handpicked selection of tunes, no it was probably just a crap Mother's Day present.
Was thinking just now whether buying one of these CDs would make me more inclined to hoover? (actually I have hoovered, twice this week)...
Nah, not really. I am off to buy that Foundations track now though.
