    Agreed ... all what leftover wine? :)

    Really liked the scotch tape tip though, and the rubber glove bottle opening one!

    ....leftover wine? You mean I should have kept it....rather than just polished it off with dinner....knew I'd got something wrong somewhere....

    I'm quite pleased with myself, I knew several of the tips. I think the sellotape for splinters tip is good. I read the other day that with a deep splinter put the plaster part of a plaster on it and leave it for 2 or 3 days and then take it off. The splinter should squeeze out easily.

    I do love the way the writer says 'all that leftover wine' not simply 'any leftover wine' lol!

    Talking of wine, we are off to Calais tomorrow - tickets through tunnel paid for with Tesco vouchers - for a booze cruise. If you buy wine with the little cardboard collar saying recommended by Auchon - even it it is only a quid - it is very good 99% of the time. So, this is what we're going to buy.

    You do realise that the French only sell wine to us foreign barbarians that they're not prepared to drink themselves?

    The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in my life. :)
