Genius Tips

I have just read these tips in an old copy of Reader's Digest.

Ever bruise your fingers when hammering really tiny nails? Then hold the nails upright in the teeth of a pocket comb!!!!!

Sharpen the blades in your paper shredder with two sheets of A4 sized heavy duty aluminium foil. Feed them through the shredder one at a time and the blades will get sharpened with minimal fuss.

Couple of good tips there Cookiecate, especially the one about bruising your fingers......have done that many times and it hurts!!!!!!!

Re: Genius Tips

I know and it seems such an obvious thing to do but I had never thought of it. Another tip is loosening a rusted bolt by rubbing it with a few tablepoons of a fizzy drink. Read's Digest also says that peanut butter smooth or crunch will stop hiccups. (Haven't tried that one yet)

And after all these years Readers Digest will soon be ceasing or maybe already have, the publication of the little book thats filled so many dr's and dentists waiting rooms!!

Hang on while I have a look through the old copies of RD in the mean time I am told to take your car to a council run MOT centre who won't suggest unnecessary reparis.

See you soon.

Just found this
If you're always scrabbling about in the cutlery drawer for small/large knives, forks or spoons, get in the habit of storing the large ones with the handles facing you, and the small ones facing away. Still looking

I just tip mine in from the dishwasher, I used to have a drawer tidy but everyone kept mixing them all up so I thought bugger it and took it out.
