If you are anything like us as a family, finding new things for children to do can be daunting and very difficult at the same time. Lots of us try to think up new ways to keep our children happy, and to give them the opportunity to have fun while making lovely new things that actually mean something to us for the future.
Crafty things get the thumbs up from almost any child of every age, and I asked my three children to draw pictures of us as a family. As with all children, when they make messy things, or even if they are simply playing outside in the dirt, they can get themselves into so much mess, that we find ourselves looking at the piles of laundry lying on the floor and wondering where on earth it all came from.
One child didn’t want his picture on the Internet, but two of them are proud to show you their creativity.
This is where Appliances Online can help. As all mums and dads know, five minutes of peace and quiet is a blessing when you are a busy parent. The new LG Direct drive washing machines feature the latest technology, leading the way for a quieter and more peaceful wash.
I actually have the 9 kg version of the Direct Drive washing machine which means this is an easy competition for me to host. I can vouch for how quiet the machine is, and for how little water is actually used, which never ceases to amaze me when the clothes are washed so thoroughly.
The programmes include a very fast 45 minute wash which I find myself using more than any other programme. There is also the facility to be able to increase the spin times on each setting. I can say without a doubt that it is the best washing machine that I have ever owned, and the size of wash is fabulous for us as we have a family of 6 to do washing for.
I can only dream of having the 11kg Direct drive washing machine from LG to wash big duvets. I am going to be very jealous indeed of the lucky person who gets this beauty delivered to their doorstep as the winner of the UK based competition.
To be in with a chance of winning this lovely machine, all you have to do is use the rafflecopter widget below to enter and officially check off your answers. You can sign in with Facebook, or by using your name and email address.

I drink a glass as I peacefully watch their Friday livestream
Hoping that Yossi will finally fulfil my dream
Of a quiet washer from Bosch, Whirlpool or LG
But sadly his call is never for me.
So I must put up with the old Hoover washer I own
It’s on its last legs but I can’t afford a new one.
It is just so noisy and has a little drum
Will nobody help? Wait, there’s Scottish Mum.
She writes this amazing parenting blog
With real life advice and occasional prizes to flog.
This time it’s a washer from Appliances Online.
Result! It’s an LG! Oh let it be mine.
My washing days would zip by like Hermes
I’d have much more quiet time to do as I please
Because of this washing machine so fine
Thanks to Scottish Mum, and Appliances Online.

I wrote a poem about my mad little life and grabbing them five minutes x
Five minutes peace and what would I do?
well honestly talking from me to you,
these moments are hard to grab
You will know this if you a Mum or A Dad
Ironing , cooking cleaning the lot, a parents job will never stop
theres homework, reading and dance class
and theres always cutting the grass
and dont forget washing and theres loads of that
With 5 little kiddies and one on the way
I use my washer at least 3 times a day
But this LG your showing to me would chop this in half
its got a massive load you see
And then I might grab that bit of peace
Omg that would be a release
I could take five minutes to sit and think
I could even grab a little drink
oh my god it makes my heart miss a beat
how nice it would be to have a little treat
just the odd five minutes just for me
xxx fingers crossed xxxx

What I do when I have five minutes to spare – actually, it’s nothing. Just sit in the chair and think about my day/life/family/holidays/weather lots of things. We all need time to stop and think about life.
Now would love to win a new washing machine as mine is on it’s last legs. Making funny screaming noises – I expect it to stop any time soon.

When I have five minutes peace and quiet, I like to take in how far we have come as a family. We have come through horrendous times and yet are still able to smile. After the 30 seconds that has taken I like to curl up beside the fire on the beanbag with some crisps and a glass of lemonade and white wine and catch up on my favourite blogs.

When I have five minute peace and quiet I like to take a look back at how far we have come as a family. We gave made it through some horrendous times and cone through it still smiling. We have also realised that money although nice (and extremely useful) is not the most important thing watching our children grow up knowing they are lived and supported is worth so much more. This normally takes me a couple of minutes and the other couple are used to enjoy a glass of lemonade and White wine and a few bags of crisps!
When I have 5 minutes peace and quiet… I usually go for a wee!

The elves will clean the windows too, until they look as good as new,

And last but not least the fairies come and see what else needs to be done and with a wave of their wand and in the blink of my eye…..

When I have five minutes peace and quiet, I like to sit down with a chocolate biscuit (from the stash hidden from my family) and down it with a cuppa of my favourite tea. And as the mix slowly glides down, my daydreams really go to town. A waiter’s service courtesy of Mr Clooney, or a massage to soothe my back so achy. The fantasies deepen – please let my foot high pile of washing be done, ironed and put away by someone. May the children be tired after all that play, and I can sneak another biscuit today… “MUM!” oh dear, it’s back to reality, time to go and help the family. Into the dishwasher goes my cup (from Appliances Online – no need to wash up). Oh joy, the washing is still there undone – and the pile’s doubled in size thanks to someone. If only my washer had a bigger drum, something quiet and… “MUM!” “I’m coming son”, my peace is over, I am no longer dreaming in clover. Wait it’s a Friday, it’s almost 4 o’clock – “James let your brother out of that headlock. Now why don’t you two build a Lego tower as a team”… and let your mother quietly watch the Friday Livestream. Where I can catch up with the antics of Elmo and the brilliant Yossi, on their livestream broadcast so funny, bright and glossy. Just got time for another cuppa tea methinks… “MUM! James is cheating at tiddlywinks!” Sigh, maybe next time I can watch it quietly online, until then here’s to the chaos that is me and mine…

When I have five minutes peace and quiet I would love to do nothing, yes nothing.
Chance would be a fine thing; I have a partner and two teenagers.
My daughter who is now 14 and my son who will be 16 next week!
I feel I am constantly on the go, fetching or carrying for someone. Cooking cleaning, you know what I mean.
Then there’s my mom bless her, who is now 82, so if I am not at home I am over there doing something else.
Never mind hey, one day!!!.

When I have five minutes peace and quiet, I like to..Cheat 🙂 I usually tuck into some housework (sometimes pretend housework) This way everyone knows that mummy is busy so no one is bothering me for a good 30 min..Perfect!
When I have 5 minutes of peace I like to fill out with a nice hot cuppa!
When I have 5 minutes peace, I make a cuppa, grab a magazine and chill!
When I have 5 minutes peace I make myself a cuppa, grab a magazine and chill!
When I have five minutes peace and quiet, I like to take the dogs out for a walk along the beach close to my home…..bliss!!
When I have 5 mins peace and quiet – I usually miss it, since by then I’ve passed out from the lack of screaming children and only wake up startled a few minutes later as the drooling I’ve been doing in my exhausted slumber, upright on the couch or at the dinner table has soaked through my shirt.
With a full time job, and 2 rambunctious boys 4 and 6 – who still jump into bed with me at different times during the night, peace and quiet and private bathroom trips are a luxury almost unheard of.
Should I happen to win this lovely prize, my clothes would be sweet smelling, my life more organized and perhaps the absence of noise would soothe my children to sleep at an earlier bedtime – thus leaving me some free time for peach, quiet and a little me time.
When I have five minutes peace and quiet, I like to …. sit down and drink a whole cup of coffee, I make coffee during the day but never usually get to drink a full cup, what a pleasure it is to enjoy a cup to the end
When I get five minutes peace and quiet I pinch myself to see if its a dream!

I have a 16 months old baby who lives on my hips, when I have 5 minutes to myself, I’d like to have a nice coffee and read a magazine, but in reality I end up doing laundry, sorting out toys and tinkering with twitter. Tonight I spent 15 minutes of me time cleaning some gunky stuff out of my washing machine plastic thingy, so you see why I am entering this… I tweeted too, wish me luck

When I have five minutes peace and quiet, I like to……. 5 minutes peace? If only LOL! I have 7 kids & I’m expecting #8 any minute so I don’t really get to sit down in the day time! I don’t mind though because my kids are my whole life. When I finally get to sit down in the evenings (usually round 11-12pm!) I lie down on my comfy sofa with a hot cup of tea, pull a big fluffy blanket over myself & put the laptop on the coffee table next to me & try to catch up with some of my emails & stuff. My toddler daughter who usually doses in the living room until we put her to bed at the same time as us, comes & snuggles up next to me getting herself under the other end of the blanket & goes back to sleep again – so I get the best of everything, me time, laptop time & a nice cuddle!

I like to ring my big brothers and find out what they and their children are up to. We live so far away we hardly see each other and I prefer to chat to them rather than a quick text. It’s lovely to hear their voices too and laugh about things we did as kids.
I like to sit quietly, no tv, no laptop, no phone, just close my eyes and listen to the peace and quiet! It doesn’t happen very often so I like to cherish every moment!
When I have five minutes peace and quiet, I like to read a book

Thank you. Glad you are all enjoying it. x
When I have five minutes peace and quiet, I like to sit in front of the coal fire with a cup of tea, bliss.
When I have five minutes peace and quiet, I like to read some blogs, cake wrecks is my favourite, or I’m more likely to stick a load of washing on or empty the dishwasher. I love a can of coke, which is my guilty pleasure with a bit of cake when I’m being extra naughty, so sometimes just crashing with that is all I do! Like most mums there’s always something that needs to be cleaned / tidyed / put away / fixed / done.
When I have five minutes peace and quiet, I like to have a lovely cuppa tea, do some cross stitch and cuddle up with my husband. 🙂
When I have five minutes peace and quiet, I like to sit down with my husband and talk about our favourite moments of the day.
when I get five minutes of peace and quiet, I tend to fall asleep. Sad but true. Sleep is the biggest luxury for me- so whilst the dishwasher washes dishes, the washing machine washes clothes and the dog cleans the kitchen floor, I like to close me eyes and imagine a whole night of unadulterated sleep.
When I get 5 minutes peace I like to take the time to give my kids a big hug. Sometimes life can be so busy with school runs and activites, work and keeping the house I forget to appreciate them. So that’s what I would do.
what a lovely lot of entries. when I have 5 minutes peace and quiet I like to catch up on twitter with a large frothy coffee in the morning or a G&T in the evening! Hum, I spend rather a lot of time on twitter, perhaps I am making too many 5 minutes in my day!! A hot bath instead of a quick shower has to be up there too for best 5 minutes! Thank you for a great competition. Am I sad to get so excited over a washing machine?
No, you are not sad, I got hugely excited for just hosting it. Good luck to all.
When I have five minutes…I wish. In between trying to organise trying to find some work, somehow volunteering myself to help organise the Morecambe Variety Festival, dealing with the whims of a thirteen year old and all her demanding neccessities, coping with a family scattered all over Europe and functioning in two languages (of which not everyone speaks both)…I generally collapse with exhaustion and an unread book on my lap!
When I have five minutes peace and quiet, I like to…play a number puzzle! I find it focusses me, stops me from worrying about everything that is winding me up, and if I play it just before I settle down to sleep my brain seems to carry on playing it, works better than counting sheep! (I am using a game called Drop 7 at the moment, try it!)
Well, when I’ve got a spare 5 minutes, sitting down with my Kindle is a must!
…Tweet!
Five little minutes so I can just pee in peace. But, I’m thinking that the only way this is going to happen is if I build a secret bathroom that no one else knows about. Okay, and so maybe I’d like twenty minutes instead of five . . . you know, so I can shower in peace, too.
Ever since Ewan could crawl, my time in the bathroom hasn’t been my own. I thought that, as he got older, it would get better, but it hasn’t. Before, I would have to take him in the bathroom with me while I showered so I could keep an eye on him. Now, he’s more than capable of staying in the living room and playing with his toys while I shower, but that doesn’t happen. It seems that once I turn that water on, he suddenly has a million things he needs to ask me, tell me, or show me. And, he has no problem flinging open the bathroom door and ripping back the shower curtain in order to do so.
When I have five minutes peace and quiet, I *like* to catch up on tweets and blogs, in reality when I have five minutes peace and quiet I end up doing a quick bit of washing up, putting a load of washing on, or flicking a duster around!
When I get 5 minutes peace and quiet then I like to daydream of warm sunny days where the dirty washing is magically transported off the 2 sporty teenagers bedroom floors into the washing machine to be lovingly washed in a shiny new machine which will hold more washing than I can ever dream of, so quietly and efficiently….then I’ll come back down to earth with a bump and go and hang the washing out!
When i have five minutes to spare there is only one thing to do, cup of tea, and a digestive. Good job there is never more than five minutes or there would be a need for extra biscuits.
When I have 5 minutes peace I write lists, I have several on the go on my phone, proper written ones, but there are many more in my head. There are some things on the lists that never quite make it to the top (cleaning behind the fridge) the lists mean on a busy, tired, running on empty days I can do stuff without having to think about it. They are in a way my relaxation as it means I can stop that part of my brain for a bit
Would love to win, my washing machine is getting pretty old and if I win this I know a lovely lady I can pass mine onto, that would make both our days!
When I have 5 minutes peace and quiet I am juststarting to learnto enjoy it and sit down, relax and savour the moment. This has taken me 38 years of manic behaviour to realise that it is important to relax and have downtime too.

A true 5 minutes to myself is quite rare so when I get them I push all thoughts of housework, laundry, tidying and exercise to the darkest corner of my mind…. and then I make myself a cafetiere and put my feet up with a huge mug of coffee, a piece of short bread and a good book. Bliss.
I would kill for this especially as mine broke this week. I like to craft and find that I am coming to my craft cave more and more when I have a spare five mins
When I have five minutes peace and quiet, I like to grab a cup of tea and enjoy the peace whilst catching up on twitter.

Depends how the mood takes me: read, tweet or simply nothing at all.

When I have five minutes peace and quiet, I like to read my favourite book on my Kindle with a nice cup of coffee or Ovaltine in the evening. However it doesn’t happen as often as I would like but when it does, I feel so relaxed!
When I get five minutes peace and quiet I try to get down to the end of my garden where my seat is and just sit and listen to the quietWinter or summer as long as its dry i go and sit and do nothingx

When I have five minutes peace and quiet, I like to …. well that would be something wouldn’t it, you mean people actually get five whole minutes of peace and quiet… what would I do if I ever had five whole minutes that weren’t filled with tweeting, blogging, kids, hubby, cooking, shopping, washing up, doing the housework, entering lovely competitions … well I dont think I would even know what to do. I would more than likely do more of the above.
