Tesselation is like tiling. Shapes that tesselate fit together exactly without leaving any spaces. Squares & rectangles will tesselate, hexagons will, triangles will (some kinds?), octagons won't because they leave square holes in between, circles and ovals won't, etc.

Ahhhh I did have a quick scan of the other posts but couldn't see it mentioned, hence wondering why you'd asked. Think maybe I need a check-up at the opticians again

It was in a post about oval-shaped ice cream tubs not tesselating in the freezer.

Also, bit gross but fab, use haemmoroid cream on your face - sounds awful but honestly, it is like having a mini face lift, put it under your eyes for instant bag removal, on your jawline to lift a sagging chin. Try it - it works!

A friend of mine sent her expensive QVC eye cream back when she discovered this method...trouble is we always knew when she did this because hemerroid crea has a certain smell about it...doesn't it?

Haemmoroid cream is also very good for those irritations between the toes when you first buy summer flip flops

Soda crystals and foil double up as a silver jewellery cleaner.
Belts have occasionally come in useful to tie up small shrubs in windy weather, my buddleia has one on at the moment :rotfl:
The 5litre water bottles that I used to buy from Tesco have found another life as wine fermenters with a small hole drilled in the top for the airlock. (The glass ones are a fiver each!
Old jumpers are unpicked to be remade as hanging basket liners.

Plastic bottles with their bottoms chopped off
make great cloches or mini green houses in the garden.

Keeps the slugs out too.

Cut the 2lt ones in half and they can be used as hurricane lamps for t-light candles dotted about the garden. If you are using the top half for this remember to take the cap off
