On Monday, I wake up at 7am. I make my bed. I help my children get ready for school. I leave my house at 8.30 am.

On Tuesday, I finish work at 5pm. I collect my children from the crèche. I set the tableat 6.30 pm and we eat dinner at 7pm.

On Wednesday, I finish work at 1pm. I do the shopping. I have 3 children. I buy a lot of food! Every evening my children take turns to do the washing up.

On Thursday, I finish work at 8pm. When I get home, I do the hoovering.I sometimes watch a DVD in the evenings.

On Friday, there is always a lot of dirty clothes. After work, I do the washing.My children hang the clothes on the line. In the evening I go to yoga class to relax.

On Saturday, I get up early. My husband takes our children to his house. They stay with him on Saturday night. In the afternoon, I do the cleaningand when the clothes are dry, I do the ironing.

Sometimes I go out with my friends on Saturday night. I really enjoy a glass of wine from time to time.
