Makes you feel like a princess in the evenings. 2. Use scissors in the kitchen for everything! Seriously - throw away your knives! 3. Go to McDonald's at 10.29am.

Stive Pesley Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Before using No More Nails, ask yourself seriously - is this a job I would normally use nails for? If yes then consider using nails If no - DON'T USE NO MORE NAILS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfie Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 I got serious brownie points with the mother in law with this one: Clean tarnished silver jewellry etc by putting it in a mug containing a bit of foil, salt & hot water. Instantly clean as soon as it touches the foil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Put piss in the compost bin. Speeds the process up a treat. ...and by compost bin, I mean the big one in the garden. I would imagine being stood targetting the kitchen caddy would be somewhat frowned upon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Quite Simple:- Set up a GOOGLE account. Make the most of it.

Rev Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Restaurants take advantage of our natural instinct not be seen as tightwads, so the cheapest cost wine with the biggest mark up is always the second cheapest on the menu. Save money and drink better wine by ordering the house, according to a sommelier in the i newspaper today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May Contain Nuts Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Never ask more than two questions in a single email (if it can be helped, never ask more than 1!) because you'll only ever get an answer to one. Never attempt the old five knuckle shuffle if you have even the slightest inkling you also need a wee - things can get a little bit confused down there. It burns. On the same note, once you've started doing a wee under no circumstances should you attempt to stop in the middle and hold the rest in - let it flow, otherwise you're in serious risk of a water infection.

AmericanRam Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 As someone who loves pancakes and eats them often for breakfast, I use the hack a friend told me about where I put pancake batter into a ketchup bottle; makes it easier when I make some.
