  • Finding 'me time' for Mum
    The kids still have a nap in the afternoon and I sit down and have some 'me' time, a lovely coffee and an hour on the computer. At weekends I always have an afternoon nap - my husband looks after the kids. Though I don't get as much sleep as I used to, I try not to snap at the kids when I'm tired.

    'Me time' is talking to my friends on the boards at iVillage. I always make time for that - even though there's always something to do around the house.

    At 9am when all the children have gone to school, I get the baby organised then slump on the couch for a while and have a wonderful cup of tea.
