Housework? :)
How does one work out how many calories you burn doing the housework? There's the hoovering, dusting, hanging out washing, ironing and general walking about the house when you're a mum at home with two kids. :drinker: I'm sure it burns calories, it has to: hardly sit down or stop all day!!
