See this bottle of champagne? It'll have my name all over it on Saturday
It's been a manic week of reading, revising, chopping, pasting and polishing, polishing, polishing to get this book finished, and because that's happening, a whole lot of other things DON'T happen in my house. It's a pretty busy house with one husband, twelve year old twin girls, nine year old twins boys, a schnauzer and 8 tropical fish. And funnily enough, the fact that I'm on a deadline makes absolutely no difference to what all of the above expect me to do around the house.
So, this week I've been all about cutting corners, doing things smarter, trying out some time saving tricks.
Last night for example was fish night. I love to pan fry my fish but it takes me ages to clean up the mess from flour, egg and breadcrumbs. Time saving tip? Put the flour and breadcrumbs side by side on paper towels so when you're finished it's just a simply wrap up and in the bin!
Grocery shopping? Download a grocery app for your smartphone. Plug in your regular buys and they'll always we saved so you just need to tick off the ones you need, as you do your shop. Many apps use the store layout for you. Time saving and money saving!
Going away on vacation? Make a master list of everything everyone needs to pack from socks to computer cables. Give them a copy to tick off as they pack themselves. No more blaming Mum for forgetting something {:o)
So, in a last ditch effort to get this book baby gone by the weekend I need your help. What are your very best time saving tips?
