    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.

    Hanging shirts in a steamy bathroom is quicker and less hassle than ironing

    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

    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.

    Do you fancy a younger woman, but find yourself inconveniently married (and of course, I'm only asking a hypothetical question here)?

    Why not buy her a football club to keep her hanging around whilst you can figure out the best way to get rid of your wife.

    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.

    I've never ever bought toilet paper.
    A decent coating of vaseline allows waste to exit swiftly and smoothly without trace.

    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.
