Guest guest Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 I put a top sheet over the quilt on my bed to catch the cat hair. then once a week i wash out the sheet and put it back on the quilt. this saves me from having to wash the quilt every week. i keep extra trash bags in the house trashcans, so when I pull out a full one there is another one there to replace it. I cook several meals on Sunday, so there are dinners that just have to be heated up when I get home from work. I use a long handled dust pan so I dont have to bend down to sweep up the pile of dirt. I got mine at the dollar store. i keep paper towels and cleaner in the bathroom for a quick wipe up in between weekly cleanings. > > I AM TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WAYS TO MAKE OUR LIVES EASIER FOR THOSE WHO HAVE ONLY SO MANY UNITS OF ENERGY TO RUN ON.
