  • If playing music on your phone and not got a speaker system to connect to, put phone in an empty pint glass to amplify the sound.
  • Peeling hard boiled eggs. Put the egg in a glass of cold water and with your hand over the top of the glass shake for ten or so seconds and shell will come off easily.
  • Had a laugh with one yesterday - restoring black trim on my car - peanut butter.

    Seemed to work too :smiley:

  • Just bicarbonate of soda. that and white vinegar cleans pretty much anything

    beyond that, always have cable ties to hand. not much they can't fix.

    A serious one and a beaut of a money saver. Cotton balls treated with WD40 are a trillion times better to light any sort of fire with than anything else

    apart from petrol, that's good
  • Doritos make excellent kindling for a fire too.

    Prawn crackers left over from Saturday night's Chinese are brilliant fire starters as well. Just crush them in the palm of your hands onto wood/coal and ignite!

    A flesh coloured v-neck vest is invisible but stops you sweating through your work shirt.
  • Wetwipes instead of toilet paper

    I hope you bin them rather than flush them as they are one of the main reasons swears block up

    Even the flushable ones? I use a damn lot of them
  • Deburr your razor after shaving by rubbing the blunt side of it down your forearm ten times. Makes even a crappy disposable blade last 3 months. With better blades, they go on indefinitely.

    The stainless steel cooker hood we have is a magnet for grease , realised the other week that a quick spray of WD40 is fantastic to clean it.
