I use the delay on the washing machine too make a double meal once a week so later in the week you don't have to cook. If DH and I are tired sometimes we cheat and just give the girls a quick once over with a face washer instead of a bath. One of us does bath/bed time and the other tidies up at the same time so then we get to relax after

I iron as little as possible

I work 3 days a week but try and do extra lads of washing on my days off and if I've been busy I let the clean stuff pile up a bit before I put it away on a work free day
