We all sometimes wish we had some extra time in the day, and we've been asked by Cif to find out what Mumsnetters would do with a spare 20 minutes.

Here's what Cif have to say, "Our latest cleaning product - Cif Express Direct to Floor can be used direct on the floor and small surfaces for a sparkling clean home. It leaves a long lasting and fresh fragrance. It's suitable for tiled, laminate and washable/ varnished wood floors. To use, you simply squirt the product directly onto the floor, then wipe with a damp mop, there's no need to rinse and it dries really fast! Now available in Antibacterial, Lemon & Apple Flowers and Wild Orchid & Velvet flowers, the RRP is £2.00 for 750 ml."

Check out the MNers review video here (and check out their feedback here):

Cif Express Direct to Floor Cleaner saves you time, so Cif would love to know what you would you do with a spare 20 mins each week.

How would you spend those extra 20 minutes? Maybe you'd have a lie in? Or watch an extra episode of your favourite sitcom? Perhaps you'd read a chapter or two of a new book?

Whatever you would do with your spare 20 minutes, Cif would love to hear about it.

Everyone who adds a comment will be entered into a prize draw where one lucky MNer will win a £250 voucher for the store of their choice*.

Thanks and good luck,

Waste it by doing nothing!

Nigglenaggle · 17/06/2014 13:39

I would down a bottle of wine and pass out in a corner do some yoga and feel lovely and sereen afterwards Grin

Emrob86 · 17/06/2014 15:11

I would have a bath and read a good book and have a glass of red wine - all at the same time!

I have a little baby and since before I was pregnant I have not had a chance to do that (even without the wine!).

I really miss a bit of pampering! :)

FiloPasty · 17/06/2014 17:06

Lie in the garden and enjoy the sunshine, possible with a good book & an iced drink.

NotWeavingButDarning · 17/06/2014 18:29

I'd have lovely painted toenails like I used to pre-DC!

make myself a homemade strawberry milkshake , find a quiet corner in the garden and sit and enjoy, making sure I made loud slurping noises when I reached the bottom of the glass Smile

starrynight19 · 17/06/2014 20:49

I would call my elderly grandparents as I never seem to find time in the day to just sit down with the phone and have a nice chat.

kayleigh39 · 17/06/2014 21:19

Well, with an extra 20 minutes a day I would sneak myself off to the summer house at the end of the garden and sit with a cup of coffee watching the sun go down over the beautiful Pembrokeshire countryside!

Ramraideruk · 17/06/2014 21:21

A quick jog around the park

marymod · 17/06/2014 21:22

Ooh, I'd be in that bath like a shot - miss having a bath (20 mins is from when it's run and ready) and would love the chance to relax for a bit instead of the quick shower that I normally get.

itsnothingoriginal · 17/06/2014 22:04

Gardening! I spend every spare minute I have in the garden in spring/summer. I love it and there's always something to do.

In the winter though, I might be tempted to use a spare 20 minutes inside mumsnetting in the warm... Smile

Mitchdafish · 17/06/2014 22:42

20 minutes is barely long enough to get over the rabbit-in-headlights feeling that comes when I suddenly have free time. In reality I would walk around the house picking things up and putting them down again and suddenly the time would be up with nothing achieved. Then I would regret not having sat down with a cup of coffee.

Write a blog post on my website! www.niasian.co.uk

ilovereading · 18/06/2014 12:32

I'd read my book or cut my toenails! (or just maybe pick up that reproachful pile of sewing jobs that's been gathering dust in the corner for far too long).

Geniene · 18/06/2014 16:06

Grab my little boys and a football and get outside for a kick about, I spent so much time rushing between work and home life and fitting everything in, an extra 20 minutes with them would be bliss :)

Hermancakedestroyer · 18/06/2014 16:45

I would have a nice cup of tea and put my feet up and dunk a boasters biscuit in it! Ah bliss Brew Biscuit

ShangriLaLaLa · 18/06/2014 22:32

Wash my hair. That would be bliss.

boptanana · 18/06/2014 23:06

Tea and cake with my bestie and a quick catch up although this could go on for hours there are always interruptions from 5 small people so uninterrupted chat would be a luxury!

StressedandFrazzled · 18/06/2014 23:10

telephone a friend for a chat, but they would need 20 minutes free too, so that may not work!

boxofshells · 18/06/2014 23:24

I'd wank Wink

TheHoneyBadger · 19/06/2014 09:48

sex i'm afraid.

i'm guessing this is 20mins with no children around or likelihood of any sort of interuption? definitely sex.

MTWTFSS · 19/06/2014 11:02

Put a CD of cheesy 90s pop on and do some dorky dancing!!!

losersaywhat · 19/06/2014 12:09

I would pretend I was doing mower housework. In reality I would actually drink a whole cup of tea without checking on kids, dog, phone, work.

losersaywhat · 19/06/2014 12:10

Obviously more not mower.
