@cmturner,
"I do so love this little job, it gets me out of the house and stops me being so lonely. It was my daughter's idea, "Mum, " she said, "Why don't you get yourself a nice little job, to get you out of the house... As I was saying, my friend Mary buys the exact same brand of peas that you've got, and there's a very funny story I've got to tell you about when her husband came home with a different brand....."
