I work full time so leave the house at 7.30am get home around 6pm. Dinner is on the table by 6.30 whether it's defrosted meal, freshly cooked etc. Homework starts next week so we will do that, Then DD is in the shower getting ready for bed while I'm sorting out clothes, lunches, school bag etc. Plus all diabetes supplies and paperwork for the next day for her. She is in bed 7.30pm and I sit down till around 9-10pm doing uni work then shower and bed myself. I have a cleaner come in once a week to do a big clean (fold clothes, mop, bathroom, change sheets etc) and then I just keep things neat. Weekends is spent catching up in washing (usually 2-3 loads) then all the fun stuff! And then I usually fit in more uni work as well. Oh and no partner here to help - but I'm used to it all and we seem to have a good routine - albeit not much time together but we manage.

Should also add - if you can prepare extra amounts of meals on weekends it eases a lot of stress through the week. Also I would often forget I had set my washing machine so clothes would sit there for a while (although laundry is outside so you don't hear it). Definitely try to make life as easy through the week but don't overdo it on weekends - you want to enjoy your family time
