AND another one, a great tip from a colleague: if you have a tiled bathroom floor, use scrunched up loo roll and rub round and round. It picks up the hair and dust like you wouldn't believe. Then use toilet roll to wipe the cleaner off the toilet bowl and flush it away, so you dont' have any germy cloths to deal with.
But basically I hate all housework, know the good tips but never can motivate myself to put them in to action!!!

Multitasker you need an e-cloth for your windows.

multitasker: yup. Just buy a cheap spray bottle. It must be white vinegar (I buy Sarsons white malt). A good "slug" in with the water, can't say precisely how much. Then spray lightly, and rub off with kitchen roll. It doesn't smell as bad as it sounds (or at least it doesn't linger for long) and it is brill for windows, mirrors, sinks, worktops etc. Just make sure the sun's not shining on the windows at the time.

Laundry!!! I just cannot get my head around sorting and organising laundry - i manage ok to wash and throw in tumble drier but then it just ends up in piles all around utility room I desperately need to sort it but just cant seem to motivate myself!
