I know time speeds up as you get older but this is ridiculous.

It feels like only a fortnight ago that we waved off Daughter #2 at her predawn departure from Manchester Airport to Miami for her second six-month stint working on a Caribbean cruise ship, but she's due back home in less than a month.
It's fair to say her time on board, entertaining kids morning, noon and night, has been busy. But it appears she has a taste for life at sea.
First up, there's no rent. Secondly, all your food from the crew restaurant is free. And last but not least, transportation costs are precisely zero.
Last week Daughter #2 WhatsApped us a guided tour of the absolutely massive ship she works on, that cost the thick end of $2billion to build and holds enough passengers to comfortably fill a League One football ground.
