If you get some Solar Lights for your garden, you can also bring them indoors in the event of a night time Power Cut...........just pop them into a vase .......saves looking for candles/matches etc and also could avoid accidental fires etc.

Use a Staple Remover to prise open your Key Ring when adding a new key.

:-)

anyone got any more?

    Oooh, clever ideas! Here's my contribution.

    Ladies, if you shave your legs using a manual razor don't waste money buying expensive lubricants - cheap hair conditioner works a treat. Note the word cheap - if it's more than £1 a bottle it won't work as well.

    I have a lot of jewellery which I store in zip-lock or sandwich bags, little ones for pairs of earrings and bracelets, larger ones for necklaces. It stops items scratching each other when they are stored in drawers or boxes. DD

    I have put several self adhesive hooks (available in most supermarkets) inside my wardrobe doors to hang necklaces and bracelets etc they dont tangle and makes it easy to select and co ordinate with what ever you pick out to wear.

    I watched my neighbour once struggle to fold a bed sheet up after taking it off the washing line, trying not to drop it on the floor..

    easiest way is just fold it in half while on the line then half again etc...
    Much easier..
    Hey, and this from a bloke lol..
    I must be getting soft in mi old age :wink::lol:

    I think this is a freat idea
    You can get 6 scewers with wooden handles from the £1 shop you can bend the end into hook shapes great for reaching things with a bit of tape on the ends you can use them to help get dressed. reach under the bed all sorts of uses.
