Buying A Bicycle For A Child
Tuesday, July 14, 2009

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!

It's A Wrap!
Wednesday, June 10, 2009

 

I use one of those under-the-bed storage boxes for organizing my gift wrapping.

Along with all the wrapping paper (included some I have recycled) I keep scissors and cellotape, ribbons, sticky labels and card tags along with birthday cards and a few left over Xmas cards.  It's quite spacious so I have also only now started to collect some gifts ready for this year's anniversaries and birthdays and I keep those inside it too. It fits under the sofa bed in my lounge so I still have space under my bed.

All that I need for gift wrapping all in one place!

Shrooms Shrooms!
Friday, March 28, 2008

This is a way of keeping Mushrooms dry. If they touch each other in storage they tend to go off quicker.

I store mine in an egg box.  I live alone and this works for me.

Yesterday though I bought a big punnet of mushrooms and just cut them into slices and then popped them into ziploc bags and froze about 5 or 6 portions.

It all depends on the amount of mushrooms you buy or need.
