Best time saving tip

You know the old saying.....time is money?
Well I wondered what tips you all have, in saving time about the house.
Mine are as follows...
  • I hoover up the dust on windowsills, coffee tables, mantlepieces etc...quicker and more effective than dusting with cloth
  • I always give the bathroom sink a quick swish round with a MF cloth every time I use it...saves on bathroom cleaning time
  • I shower the dog..(when she needs one) at the same time as I shower myself
  • I batch cook for the freezer at every opportunity...also saves money, as we don't buy ready meals
  • I keep the iron and board upstairs in the spare room....saves tripping up and down the stairs with the ironing
  • Only ever clean the house thoroughly once every two weeks...no point in doing more often as only two of us at home
  • Steam clean whenever and whatever I can...cuts cleaning time by half.
Those are just a few of mine...lets hear some of yours.
When life throws you lemons...put them in a gin and tonic !!

    the best time saving advise I have is only put in as much water in the kettle as you need this also saves money.

    also as soon as yuou bye a new cd copy it to your computer the first time you listen to it you will never have to look for your cd again.
