I have a certain band that I used to love doing housework to, but when the kids were born I was told I wasn't to listen to it while the kids were around. The songs are mainly sick parodies with swearing but it's not that bad because my parents enjoyed them too and my father can be a bit prudish at times. Now that the kids are in school I can get them out again.


for the Man (Men, persons?) who did too much, have you ever heard of Flylady? She is one of my saviours, I was living in kaos, not knowing where to start nor feeling like I had enough time. Her main philsophy is "you can do anything in 15 minutes". Basically you spend 15 minutes on a job, then when the time is up you go and do something that you want. Even if you aren't finished, but you must go back to it for another 15 later to finish it. It's a wonder what you can achieve in 15 minutes, you can do one or more sessions a day. I'm nowhere near perfect but it's nice knowing that 15 can make such a difference.
