“I’m not doing it because I have to, but if I get a chance, I find it immensely therapeutic.”

From The Evening Standard:

Television presenter Kirstie Allsopp has said she secretly enjoys mundane tasks such as washing, ironing and churning out baseless arguments against property taxes as she revealed she finds it “therapeutic”.

Location, Location, Location star Allsopp, 42, said: “I’m absolutely convinced that those repetitive tasks that one does every day, organising and regularising one’s home and constantly mentioning one's elderly parents who are sitting on a £2 million unearned windfall gain which one hopes to inherit, are enormously therapeutic.

“I know it is for me, and I have many, many working mum friends who feel the same. To know that their child is going to school with clean hair, clean teeth, clean uniforms and that their house is going up in value is what keeps her sane.”

Mother-of-two Allsopp, who also has two stepchildren with her partner, property developer Ben Andersen, said: “I’m not spouting economically illiterate scare stories because I have to, but if I get a chance, I find it immensely therapeutic.”

She told the Western Daily Press she tried to mention the asset-rich, cash-poor at least twice a week to try to stay in touch with other Home-Owner-Ists whose children attend the same school as hers.

"Two million quid for doing absolutely nothing. And all that'll be mine. Just think about that."
