Internet shopping, wash clothes overnight, lay out kids' clothes the night before, don't do any ironing you don't ABSOLUTELY have to do, make double amounts of food and freeze the extra, if your kids have packed lunches, make sandwiches once a week/fortnight and freeze them. Oh, and don't get ill or everything is screwed....
Best of luck.
