I will ask for advice, and you have to answer using only a quote from somewhere else on Mumsnet. Then you can ask for the next piece of advice. (best to quote the advice question you're answering in case there's cross-posting)

Are your children well-behaved?

Kloppy squeaks a lot. If I'm upstairs I'll hear him jump in through the kitchen window with an almighty squeaky mmmm. He then gallops up the stairs, pauses for five seconds before launching himself onto the bed with a triumphant MMMMM 'I'm back' super-squeak before throwing himself on me, all purry and happy. He's a nutter

Recommend me a good exercise routine

"Get them whatever ready meals they will eat from M&S or similar, and whack them in the oven either at yours or their house. Bit of veg or whatever on the side. Sorted.

If you need to go out, limit it to tea and cake or whatever.

If the most important thing is seeing them, then work around them. Save going to places you love with food you love for another time."
