There was a time when my Saturday afternoon's would be spent wandering around Oxford Street, spending too much on the plastic and guzzling down White Chocolate Mocha's as if they were going out of style!
Now?! Now, I choose housework! OK, ultimately more dull and repetitive and once you've finished it's time to start all over again. But just think of all the money it's saving me! If I bought one top, CD or necklace (for example) costing £15 every Saturday for a year, that would work out to £780 per year! Not to mention how much money would be going to the Starbucks corporation!
Not only do I get to save a decent wedge of cash, but it turns out this housework malarky is also fab exercise! According to this article on weightlossresources.co.uk I've probably burned about 230 calories* by doing housework today. Saves splashing out on gym membership, eh?
* By way of comparison according to my trusty Collins Gem Calorie Counter, this is equivalent to a person of my weight playing badminton for half an hour - not bad, eh?
