Once opened...Biscuits, crisps or crackers they go off if they are not eaten straight away! Store them in the fridge in plastic bags or containers and they stay crisp and fresh for ages, weeks infact!

another tip is to put your dishcloth in your dishwasher to keep it free of germs daily.............

Or just put in bleach once a day! The dishcloth is infact the one thing that harbors the most germs in the kitchen!

SAVE electricity by turning off all the lights in your house and walking around wearing a miner's hat.

EMPLOYEES: Only use the loo at work. Not only will you save money on toilet paper, but you'll also be getting paid.

Soon it will be hot enough to run around in the nude everywhere which will save bundles of clothes washing and ironing! However, women must be careful when shopping in the deep freeze cabinets!

I did read somewhere that a great harbourer (right word?) of germs in the home is not, as one might think, the toilet - no - but the laptop keyboard.



However, I would not recommend that you:

1. Soak it in bleach

2. Put it in the dishwasher, or

3. Put it in the washing machine



as it might break.

I heard soaking it in bleach wouldnt be much of a problem, and if you do a soft wash you cant get away with it

Whether relaxing or working in the garden avoid the expense of an expensive and sweaty sun hat by wearing a flower pot "on the 'ead". One that fits snugly on top of the ears is ideal so that there is air allowed through the vents at the top otherwise a fried brain is incurred. Too big has an adverse affect on eyesight, basically, rendered blind. When land agents/estate agents and their clients visit adjacent land stick your fingers in your ear and burble though the fence "flobberlob, weeeeed, weeed, etc". Into their 4 X 4 they go, rev up, and disappear with quick jerking movements. If you vary the colour of the pot daily ie black or brown they think there are two idiots and they are never seen again. Avoid too many colour changes or being aggressive or you may be mistaken for a forum moderator !
