oooh this flylady site looks good.....thanks

the 'housework routine' thread on the marriage & families board has a whole thread about that kind of thing.

be warned you get loads of emails, but i have found it really helpful in getting my place up to scratch (& staying there) with the minimum of effort!!

 I also use more of the empty bottles to take small amounts of showergel etc to my in-laws when we go to stay to save buying full size versions to leave there and them getting used by my in-laws.  ::)

my friends and i have an agreement that we never bring stuff like toothpaste & shower gel etc to one anopthers houses, we just borrow each others - works well in the end, and saves on packing. never take towels either!

Ive saved up all my free sample sachets for travelling, and when i go away i take things that are nearly run out, and an oldish toothbrush, so i can bin the lot before i return.

Am I alone in that I HATE shoe shopping, I have one pair of trainers, one pair of boots and some old summer shoes I use as slippers, the boots were given to me - a perfect fit - unlike when I go to buy them!

I also cannot be bothered going shoe shopping. I tend to do well picking up new pairs at charity shops car boot sales, which is fortunate otherwise I would wear one pair until it wore out. I do seem to have lots of pairs of good quality (and nice) shoes, but rarely pay more than a couple of pounds.
