Great Tips... one liners

To restore old, wrinkly lemons boil them in water for a few minutes and leave them to cool, brigns them back to their full glory!

There thats my tip of the day!

thank you - I have a bag of limes that are looking a bit dodgy so I'll do it to them!

I want to know what it was that made you think of this in the first place?

'Mmmmm....my lemons are looking a bit wrinkly. I know! I'll torture them with boiling water and they'll perk up if they know what's good for them'. :rotfl:

Is there anything we should know about you?????? :rotfl:

:rolleyes:
I have a book of trade secrets here I read it this morning and thought I would share it with all of you:T
I will give another tip of the day tomorrow:p

Let me know if it works?

Lol at last two posts. :rotfl:
Anyway, got a complaint, why didn't you post this two weeks ago when I had a bag of lemons needing sorted out?:rolleyes: Tis okay, I pickled them instead, apparently they will be ready in another week, so will see, and try to remember to post back on the success/failure.

I soak slightly wrinkled grapes in water to restore them, so must work on most fruits - thank you for telling us about the lemons:)

I love hearing about new tips and look forward to tomorrows

Here are a few

Picnic time is coming soon FORGOTTON A CORKSCREW? all you have to do is hit the bottom of the bottle sharply several times with a book or rubber soled shoe. The cork will gradually rise up through the neck of the bottle:T

Another: scrunched up kitchen foil makes a good pot scourer:T

To stop the bottom of your shower curtian going mouldy or discoloured coat it with baby oil:T

There you go

More tomorrow?

I spent yesterday clearing out my kitchen cupboards and drawers, I found that so many little bitty pieces like icing tubes and sweetcorn prongy holders that get pushed to the back of the drawer out of reach. I also found lots of mesh washing tablet bags = a solution, little bags full of bits of kit.

I heard about this but as I haven't tried it so I can't recommend it personally, it seems do-able though

Paint your skirting boards sitting on a skateboard...sounds like fun

Not used a skateboard but HAVE used one of those small garden tool boxes with wheels on - about the height of a normal stool but saves getting up and down all the time! Just push yourself along! :cool:

Oooer! Not only does this sound a bit dangerous, you'll then have no wine for the picnic. Anyone tried it?

My tip, carry a Swiss army knife (with corkscrew, obviously) everywhere, but remember to leave it in the office when you're in Court, as I didn't do once!
