Sex Tips for Knackered Mums

You know how it is. You've hustled with kids all day, moving them from school gates to ballet lesson to gourmet meals chez-vous - and that's before all the bedtime/bathtime routine starts. It's enough to tire anyone out.

And then the kids are finally in bed. The house is quiet. Your pour youreslves a glass of Pinot Grigio and collapse on the sofa in front of Location, Location, Location. Or you head off to the bathroom, focused on getting some quality time with your Radox and the latest copy of Grazia magazine. A couple of hours later you're both on the edge of sleep.

"Where, oh where did my sex life go?" you ask yourself.

So, what's a girl to do to find the energy to get her going again? We've come up with ten suggestions that just might help to light your fire once again.

1. Keep the Bubble Bath

But instead of going for a relaxing de-stressing aromatherapy job, choose something that's invigorating and energising. Peppermint or citrussy would be a good choice to help lift your energy levels.

2. Ask Him to Do Something

Don't lay the guilt all on yourself. Tell him you like the idea but he's gotta make the effort to get you into the mood. And then... enjoy!

3. Cut out the Chores

If you can afford it, get a cleaner and make Tuesdays (or whatever) take-away night so no one has to bother with the clearing up.

4. Go To bed Before Him

..and get into the mood with an erotic novel. We love the Black Lace books.

5. Early to Bed, Early to Rise ..ahem

make the effort to go to bed earlier on a regular basis and you'll soon start waking up in the mornings raring to go..

6. Declutter

Who wants to make love in a room full of kids toys, clothes draped everywhere and a pile of bedtime reading that threatens to collapse onto the pillow at any moment? Clear it all out and set the scene with soft lighting and aromatic candles.

7. Invest in some gorgeous night-wear

We're not talking six inch heels and red basque here (unless that's what you fancy). Ditch those PJs for something that will make you feel a lot more attractive.

8. Ask him what he'd like you to do to get him into the mood

And just do it.

9. Leave him with the kids

Get out of the house and get to a class - fitness, pottery or a book club, it doesn't matter what. Just spend some time discovering who you are all over again.

10. Take it easy

Just taking things gradually, but consistently making a bit more an effort will work.
