During the week I'm usually up around 6.30am so that really is a lie-in, believe me!

Then, sadly, I'll do the ironing while listening to Sunday Miscellany.

After that we'll head to Tesco for the weekly grocery shop. There's no time during the week so it has to be done on Sunday.

We'll have a list and race around, getting it done as quickly as possible. It's a chore, I couldn't imagine food shopping for fun so I wouldn't be going to a market.

In the afternoon we'd usually go into town. Even though I work in the city centre I have lunch at my desk and I never get a chance to run into the shops during the week, so Sunday afternoon is when I get to shop for clothes and makeup and any personal bits and pieces that I need. If I'm very busy at work I might nip into the office for a couple of hours to catch up on paperwork but I do try to have my property blinkers on for at least one day of the week. I try not to talk about property either, it's a Sunday rule. I've been in business on my own for two years now . . . before that I was with Douglas Newman Good . . . and it's fast and furious but I love it. All our work is residential, we cover the whole city and county from Dalkey to Howth, and business comes to us via personal recommendation.

It's all about relationships, forming them and building on them. Over the past couple of months we launched Scotch Hall in Drogheda for Gerry Barrett's Edward Holdings and the Daintree in Dublin and we're gearing up now for the spring auction season, we've some very interesting properties coming on.

On the way out of town we'll go for a walk along Strand Road, ending up at our local, the Merrion Inn, for a gin and tonic around 5pm. We'll pick up the papers and ensconce ourselves in a corner for an hour or two while we catch up on news. Then it's in to somewhere like Bianconi's or Roly's for an early dinner.

We tend not to socialise on a Sunday . . . Friday and Saturday evenings are our times for seeing friends so Sunday is just for the two of us, for bonding.

We might watch a bit of television when we get home . . . nothing that demands too much concentration, and nothing that we'd have to follow from week to week so soaps are out. A bit of light crime is ideal. We'll light the fire and have a bottle of wine and be in bed by 10.30.
