My working day

My working day starts very early. From Monday to Friday I get up at half past three and have a shower and a cup of coffee. I usually leave the house at ten past four because the car always arrives a few minutes early. I get to the studio at about five o’clock and start work. Good Morning Britain starts at seven o’clock and finishes at nine o’clock. Then I leave the studio at a quarter past ten. After that, I get home at three o’clock. A woman helps me with the housework and the ironing. I read the newspaper and do some work. Then my husband gets home at half past five in the afternoon and I cook dinner. We stay at home in the evening. We don’t go out because I go to bed very early. We usually watch television and then I go to bed at half past eight. I’m usually asleep by nine o’clock. At weekends I don’t get up until ten o’clock. In the evening, we often see some friends or go to the cinema. But I’m always up early again on Monday morning.
