Great idea's. it makes doing chores a lot more fun and you don't realise how much faster it goes when you are talking to some one on the phone or even just listening to music. you can even do laundry wile talking on the phone. If you don't have bluetooth you could put your phone on speaker phone or use your sholder to hold the phone to your ear.
