Cambiel 40 Report post Posted February 28, 2010 Grest tips - thanks Maritrez. Another use for toothpaste (esp the whitening variety) is to use an old toothbrush and scrub your fingernails with it. Gives them a lovely clean :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cambiel 40 Report post Posted June 10, 2010 Here's one I found yesterday and have tried - it works really well. Put a few drops of your favourite essential oil (I used lemon balm) onto the cardboard inside your loo roll, then with every turn of the roll some fragrance is released.

pinkpuppy 143 Report post Posted June 12, 2010 When you buy Tulips leave them wrapped in a high vase full of water and leave then for a few hours, then arrange in a vase, it makes them stay stood up right for far longer and they keep well for far more days. Baby oil is good for buffing up stainless steal. To clean very dirty hands that have been painting with oil based paints or been in a car engine, use washing up liquid, with sugar and lemon. Rub hands well. Use sea salt as a cheap but far more effective body scrub. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daisy4000 1 Report post Posted November 30, 2010 LMFAO that is so funny and I think I'll have to post it on my friends board. Thanks for cheering me up, I needed it. AMAZING SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES: 1. AVOID CUTTING YOURSELF WHEN SLICING VEGETABLES BY GETTING SOMEONE ELSE TO HOLD THE VEGETABLES WHILE YOU CHOP. 2. MALES - AVOID ARGUMENTS WITH THE FEMALES ABOUT LIFTING THE TOILET SEAT BY USING THE SINK. 3. FOR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE SUFFERERS ~ SIMPLY CUT YOURSELF AND BLEED FOR A FEW MINUTES, THUS REDUCING THE PRESSURE ON YOUR VEINS. REMEMBER TO USE A TIMER. 4. A MOUSE TRAP PLACED ON TOP OF YOUR ALARM CLOCK WILL PREVENT YOU FROM ROLLING OVER AND GOING BACK TO SLEEP AFTER YOU HIT THE SNOOZE BUTTON. 5. IF YOU HAVE A BAD COUGH, TAKE A LARGE DOSE OF LAXATIVES. THEN YOU'LL BE AFRAID TO COUGH. 6. YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE.. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE. 7. IF YOU CAN'T FIX IT WITH A HAMMER, YOU'VE GOT AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. DAILY THOUGHT: SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE SLINKIES - NOT REALLY GOOD FOR ANYTHING BUT THEY BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE WHEN PUSHED DOWN THE STAIRS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
