If you purchase a new bike for your child, place their
picture inside the handle bar before placing the grips on.
If the bike is stolen and later recovered, remove the grip
and there is your proof who owns the bike.

I thought this was a terrific idea!

My mum got my brother up in the loft today to install a fire alarm up there. Until I spoke to her on the phone today I never even thought to do that.

I have smoke alarms in all rooms except the bathroom but never thought of the spacious loft above me.  I am 'alarmed' at myself for not thinking about this also.

So, I am passing on this tip - it could save your life one day.

Light a long piece of dry Spaghetti when lighting the gas hob or more than one candle. You won't burn your fingers like you would if you were using a match.

Good for an emergency too- when you only have ONE match left!
