When we first moved here I was at home because I was breast-feeding my daughter on demand. So I was actually a Family Day Care worker, so I looked after four children full time during the day,
			and another two to four children in the afternoons after school. So I was home, this was an industry, this house - hence the walls! [laughs] I was here full-on, and I had a beautiful big vegie garden, we did a lot of work in the garden, the garden was a very important part of the house in terms of an extension of the living space for all the children - it's a lot of children in a small area.
		Then when I went to full time work, the house became just a recreational thing and a functional living place. The garden wasn't looked after as much because with both Carl and myself working there was less time. Now that I'm actually living here on my own fifty per cent of the time - my daughter's with me every other week - the weeks I have my daughter I try to create as much as I can a family environment, in terms of the house is the focus of us doing things together.
				On the weeks that I don't have Zoe, oh, it's quite different, it's more of a recluse ... yes, I don't have people here, so it's my hideaway. I don't ... yeah, hmmm...
