M: Hi, Kate. How are you getting on?
W: Hey, what are you doing here? I didn’t expect you until later.
M: Well, I’ve already finished everything I had to do at work, so I thought I’d come back and help you. I know you’ve had a busy day.
W: I’ve had an extremely busy day, and it hasn’t finished yet. Did you remember we’ve got Paul and Hannah for dinner tonight?
M: Yes, I did. Have you got everything you need?
W: Well, I’ve already done the shopping, but I haven’t bought the wine yet.
M: Oh, I’ll do that. Have you picked up the children yet?
W: No, I haven’t done that yet. They’re still at school.
M: OK, well, I’ll get them when I buy the wine.
W: No, they’ve got their sports club, so they’ll be there until about six. You’re more important here. Have you collected the car from the garage yet? It should be ready by now.
M: No, I haven’t. I’ll go to the garage later. Now, what next?
W: Well, the kitchen is clean, but you could check the bathroom for me.
M: OK. Have you thrown away the pile of newspapers in the front room?
W: No, they’re still lying on the table.
M: I’ll take out the rubbish as well.
W: I’ve already done that. Now, I haven’t started cooking yet, and it’s getting late. When you’ve got the wine, can you lay the table? Here’s the table cloth and knives and forks. And mend the television? It still doesn’t work. Oh, and wrap up your mother’s birthday present. It still needs wrapping paper. And turn on the heating. It’s getting quite cold in here.
M: Oh dear, it’s one of those days.
