Does that work on swede and butternut squash do you think? I have athritis and always have terrible trouble trying to peel them.

trying-very-trying

I'm going to try that tomorrow. I have to get the turnip cut in half before I can even start to get the skin off. I usually hack away, the dd decides she can do a better job, then I knock on the next door neighbour. He just looks at me and laughs. I usually offer him one half.

this way as long as u got a decently sharp knife which u peel potatoes with then it will peel so easily i used to hack away with all my mite at turnips and hated them so stopped buying them and only bought frozen crap but then my nana told me this trick so did and it always buy them fresh now much better hope it works for you all xxx i thought swede was turnip???? not sure about buternutsquash ive never made it

A few years ago a top tip in one of the weekly magazines was to use a wooden chip fork to remove dog poo from the sole of your shoe!!!! My husband now always asks if I would like a dog poo remover to eat my chips!!!!!:eek:

my oh used to have terrible nose bleeds and like other people i've given him tampons to stick up his nose.

panty liners are great if you sprinkle them with essential oils and stick them on the back of radiators, lovely smells and non of that nonsense with oil burners or candles - i told my oh i fancied going on dragons den and marketing that idea, he laughed till he cried

This is making me think of Viz comic's 'Top Tips' section! eg

'Use sand instead of brown sugar in hot drinks. Saves money and can be reused again and again'.

Baldrick: "I have a cunning plan."

Blackadder: "Is this plan so cunning, that you could pin a tail on it and call it a weasel?"

Baldrick: "Yes. If you microwave a turnip for 1 to 2 minutes, it peels just like a potato. Or is it the other way around?"
