Great Tips... one liners

Couple of make-up tips I've used when desperate !

Mascara nearly empty or drying up - stand the unopened container (brush down) in about 2 inches of hot water and leave for a few minutes, it works.

Lippy, get the last dregs of your favourite colour from the bottom with a lip brush.

Sorry if these have been posted earlier.

This is probably stating the obvious to all you "Old Style Long Timers"
but I thought it may help other Newbie's like myself.

Get a little note book to write down all the recipe's you like the sound of.

Just spent 2 hours reading the Store Cupboard Challenge thread...
...and a further 2 hours going back over the thread to write down the tasty ideas I want to try out !!
Luckily the weather here has been so awful here this afternoon that I dont feel guilty !

Good idea. Wish I had done that when I started reading the big threads.

Even easier just download Google notebook and cut and paste recipes as you surf, to print any time you want. It's all stored in cyberspace so you can access or save your recipes from any computer with internet access.

I always keep lipstick in the fridge it seems to make it last longer .Also superglue as it stops it from going to hard I hate it when you.ve only used the tube once, and it sets like cement .
my late ma-in-law swore by boiled lemenade or at a pinch suger water for a tickly throat/cough.
Plus I have always kept a little notebook to jot down my shopping bits on .I found one the other day from 1967, and my shopping list for food for a week came to just over £4.00. 17/6d for a leg of lamb (about 78p) !!!

If you have forgoten to buy shaving gel/foam use conditioner. It also works if your already in the bathroom nude, and discovered you have forgoten to take it in with you:p Warning would only advise this one for ladies.

Dont buy your food...........Steal It

Break into somebodies house and use thier loo instead..

take your dirty laundry to your local currys and ask for a demonstration of a washing machine..

hitch lifts instead of using your own car..

when in the pub offer to collect the empties and drink the last little bit in the bottom..

stand next to a smoker and inhale their smoke

use the sample pieces of carpet to carpet your living room..

ask your local council to install a street light right outside your house and use that as your living room light..

steal a cow from a field and keep it in the fridge for free milk..

usea magnifying glass and the sun to warm your bath water..

I have only just relised my best money saving tip is so old i have been doing it for about 8 years...

90% of dirt around the house is grease based and the best thing to cut through grease is fairy washing up liquid...

So i pour some fiary into a spray bottle and fill it up with water have used that in kitchen and bathroom for years I have not found a better product since...Also We have used th antibacterial fiary for a few years now as well and than its clinicaly clean at the same time....
