View Full Version : Handy Hints..
Just wondering if anyone on here has any ideas/hints to make life a wee bit easier....
The only one I can think of at the moment is -
When washing your duvet cover and pillow-cases - always button up or close the end of your duvet beforehand - stops the pillow cases being "caught" up in it during washing - then you dinnae have to "search" for same pillow-cases !!!
Any other ideas for "Handy Hints" ??:)

Don't waste £3.99 on that new Corsodyl toothpaste, it's absolutely disgusting stuff.
Bought it thinking it would be like the mouthwash but it's nothing like it.
It's not even a good colour, kinda dirty red/brown and tastes vile, almost enough to make you vomit.

Anyone who spends £3.99 on a tube of toothpaste derves to be made to vomit! Buy the basic Tesco sensitive at about 99p and you cannot go wrong.

It also helps to prevent hand towels and socks ending up inside them and saves hunting for them only for them to fall out when you put the sheets on the clothes horse. :lol:

for me, I find it great to do all my washing at once. I have two weeks worth of clothes both for work and for play, so normally on a Sunday i have baskets full of washing which 3 hours later, is clean! :D
another hint, well maybe advice is that you should be true to yourself and believe in yourself, therefor morale is greater - it worked for me.

I hear that one, even when they are wrong :lol:

Hi Iffy -
My idea for a handy hint - never believe a company which say they are the "BEST" nine times outta ten they are ones you avoid !!

Dieters: Buy only Russian Alphabetti Spaghetti as there are only 22 letters in the Cyrillic alphabet. Just watch the pounds fall off.
Potholers: Take a tip from cats and avoid getting stuck in holes by growing a moustache to the exact width of your body.
Yeah, I know. Stolen from Viz' Top Tips. ;)

Save on ironing costs by giving all your shirts to the Cancer Research, and then buy them back for 50p each.

Its best to agree it saves on the headache pills.
Wash the car when it`s raining,the cars already wet and it gets rinsed off with nice clean water.Simples.

That's what I do.
Don't waste money buying expensive binoculars, simply stand closer to the object you wish to view.
Always poo at work-not only will you save money on toilet paper, but you'll also be getting paid for it.
Weight watchers. Avoid the temptation to guzzle a chocolate bar by not buying it in the first place, you fat git.

Caught outside in a heavy downpour?
Then simply handcuff yourself to someone who is using an umbrella.
And don't forget that pool cue cases make a handy travelling box for small snakes.

Nothing wrong with a micro fibre sponge.. Much better than using the cloths
Girls. Don't worry about a nice dress for that important first date, all he's interested in is seeing you naked. ;)

An mf sponge dosnt cut the job,a lambswool mitt takes dirt into the back(it has a very deep pile) therefore not dragging dirt along the paint...anything with sponge in the name your asking for trouble....and microfibre clothes are for buffing off polish or wax not washing;) depends how much you care about your paint,some people are happy with a 99p yellow sponge wether it inflicts scratching or not :Razz

A good tip - cut the end off your broccli and place in a jug of water in your fridge - your broccli will last a few weeks and will never go soft (not sure what else you could try this with!!!;))

If you run cold water over a burn the sting does come back once u stop the water running even thou thats what your supposed to do but if u rub a we bit of soap over it and leave the soap on it doesnt sting so much i often get burn marks on my fingers im very clumsy person
Try it

Good one, have to agree it makes life a lot simpler all round[lol]

If you hit yourself on the thumb when using a hammer - then be more careful next time.
To avoid falling off a cliff into the sea - move to Switzerland.

Better still disconnect hose and take it inside. Less hassle and only a one man job.

Or if you hit your thumb, straight away hit your big toe with a hammer to take your mind of your sore thumb.

Aye it is a very common fact that most men are after what they see on the outside not what is inside. It's also a very common fact that most women after a certain age of course look at what is inside and not what is on the outside. Hence why a man such as yourself would get a second look :Razz:D
