you do the dishes - and six months later
you have to start all over again!"

Tips & Tricks
Tips & Tricks, now that should really explain it all!
How often have you heard someone mentioning a new household tip just after you had a spot of bother and couldn't come up with an answer?
We would like to believe that there are thousands of people who would gratefully accept and use ideas and suggestions, which someone else has perfected. This could be anything practical and handy to have available at times when patience is starting to run out. There are plenty of websites abounding with useful hints, tips & tricks. We could all go and start using 'Google' to find these sites. Wouldn't it be nice to just stay here and still have the benefit other people are willing to pass on to you?
Of course it would be! Therefore we intend to lean on your shoulders and let you tell us the best tips & tricks you have successfully used. No point stating that whiskey and ice is your best tip. Most of us have already experienced that. Cleaning tips, cheap groceries or clothing, great prices on wine or spirits, household tricks (including proven cooking hints), anything that can save us money, sanity and/or time will be acceptable for inclusion here.
All we need is someone to start the ball rolling and we'll have a great collection of Tips, Hints & Tricks in no time. You can send your contributions via email to:

Here are a few examples we have received so far, but we would like to expand our collection much, much further:
This one is from Lisa, thank you:
Use white vinegar as a softener when doing the washing.......about half cup per load. It is environmentally friendly and cost effective. Buy 2 bottles, and make 4, by pouring half from each bottle into another bottle, and filling with water. Leave for 3 weeks and it will regenerate to original strength!

Trevor has sent us the following tip which sounds very logical:
Save all your used toilet roll centres and use them for seedlings. Cut them in half; fill with good quality potting mix, plant seed in each one. Then place in a container, like an ice-cream container cut in half, with holes to allow water to drain out. When seeds germinate and are ready to plant out into garden, leave in the cardboard roll and place where you want the plant to mature the cardboard will rot away in no time. Saves the seedling from stress and also helps to protect from some critters.
There are more Tips and Tricks on our next pages. Enjoy!
