for the day, visiting my sister and gathering supplies for the family that a magic elf or fairy could've come in and cleaned my house.

I've got one of those that comes on a Thursday. My mum. Somehow she manages to pop over half an hour before the kids arrive while I'm at work and works miracles. She is not on mumsnet, suffice to say.

I've got one too, but she charges me £9 an hour the cheeky bint!

If you could pay her in magic beans, that would be ok.

Oh lovely, I'll suggest that to her, I'm sure she'll be well up for it
