I got the 1001 country household hints from a jumble sale for 10p [I help out at it] and this has reminded me that I've very carefully added it to my increasing stash of OS books but haven't actually read it yet:o Does anyone else have a designated OS shelf or is it just me being a very sad person:rotfl: Thanks for the tips BTW

Yes I do have a shelf but it is more Money Saving/Self Improvement.

Have.

Both Martin's books.
Amy D. Tightwad Gazette
A Mary Hunt cheapskate one.
Fly Lady Sink Reflections
Fly Lady Body clutter

plus assorted cookery books etc and probably more.

And none of them will be lent to anyone ever ever ever. I have learned from the past!:)

STORE CARTONS OF SOUR CREAM/DOUBLE CREAM ETC UPSIDE DOWN IN THE FRIDGE..THEY WILL KEEP FRESH FOR LONGER

I have heard of cottage cheese keeping for ages longer if it's kept upside down*
but not cream.

wonder why it works/is supposed to work?

*waaaay past its sell-by date.
