I get up at 10am every Saturday. I check my calendar because Bryan is always saying ‘yes’ to things and you wouldn’t know what I might have put into the diary three weeks prior. I use a calendar on my phone, have a calendar in the kitchen and a white board in the bedroom – this is the first thing Bryan sees when he wakes up so he can see what’s happening.
