    When ever you burn your finger in the kitchen rub soap on it and leave it on to relieve pain

    Wash the car when it`s raining,the cars already wet and it gets rinsed off with nice clean water.Simples.
    Don`t bother "repping" me it`s turned off.

    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.

    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

    25-Oct-09 17:35teddybear1873Save on ironing costs by giving all your shirts to the Cancer Research, and then buy them back for 50p each.

    made me laugh so much - v funny!!

    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

    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.
