I come Brighton but now I live London with my wife and children. We moved several years ago, the spring of 1999. Our life here is much faster than before.

I usually get up 6 am, have a quick breakfast and rush work. Fortunately my office is our flat, so I just need to drive the bridge to get to work. the morning it takes me between ten and fiteen minutes.

I usually work about nine hours and during this time I rarely find a moment to eat lunch. It is even worse Mondays, when we have weekly meetings. When I get home after work I am always very tired and go bed early. midnight I am usually fast asleep.

My wife says that I work too much and don’t spend enough time with her and our boys. We can do something together only Friday afternoon or the weekend. When I have several days off, for example Christmas, I try to take my family somewhere of London.

Last year December we went to Brighton to visit my mother. She was born 25th December, so we celebrated her birthday during our visit. My mum’s life was compeltely different from mine. She could always find a good balance between her work and family life.
