Old style things that 'only you' do...

I wonder if it's on here, forgot about the cooking one until I did it tonight. Was cooking dinner, we had a guest and I am the messiest cook ever. So even with a pinny on before I put it on I turn my top inside out, then when I am finished cooking turn it back before eating. Saves finding new top before I can have my dinner.

I can normally cook without making too much of a mess of myself, but if I've got a clean top on I can guarantee I'll spill some food down me....:mad:

This one's probably a bit horrible actually- I use a pin/needle to degunk my razor blades to extend their use [in the bathroom out of sight:D ]
All our cut hair [hairdresser comes to us] goes out on the compost heap. I have read that previous generations used to keep it in a jar on their dressing tables and then use it to stuff pincushions etc. Not one I do [as yet:rotfl: :rotfl: ]

I'm considering getting myself a Tommy Tippee bib (you know the ones with the turn-up at the bottom so you can catch the drips) :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Perfect, then you can have "seconds" :eek: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Seriously though, it's a shame they don't make adult ones!!!

They do make adult bibs for adults with special needs. We used to have one cos ex was a nurse, used it with the kids and it was great!

I always split a new washing up liquid into two bottles and add a good few tablespoons of white vinegar to each and shake well. Not only does it go farther, it cuts through grease brilliantly!

This may have been mentioned before..........

When cooking frozen vege, I was add boiling water to the veges bring to the boil with the lid on, then turn the ring off. Veges are always cooked to a turn. It works especially well with peas. Though I usually have to draw the pan off the heat a little.
