lone parents housework / keep fit / healthy eating thread

[meglet]

We can only do the best we can. No point in going on housework threads if you're a working LP who never has a break from the kids. Or if you're a SAHM LP with small kids who can't get to the gym.

So, a thread for us to start the New Year with good intentions and to juggle it around everything else we have to do .

• I banned Minecraft today and tomorrow after some shocking behaviour (kicking each other in the supermarket) the dc's had a burst of enthusiasm, dysoning and tidying up to get back in my good books.

• I have managed to get out for a few runs over Xmas. We stayed with my mum for a couple of days so I went out then.

Here's to a positive start to 2015.

I would love to have an hour spare a week to go and join a yoga class. There just never is enough time. My main hobby is piano but prior to ds I thoroughly enjoyed yoga. Ds is now 10 so when he is 14 I will go out to a yoga class then but it is 4 more years of waiting!!

At least I manage to cobble together a bit of spare time to play piano - about 3 to 4 hours a week. In between endless rushing and chores and work - hobbies keep you going I find!
