Neat Bedding Tip!
Tuesday, August 12, 2008

 After drying and ironing your duvet cover put one matching pillow and the folded duvet cover inside the remaining pillow case. 

Next time you change your duvet cover, you just take the one pillow case and   
the cover and matching pillow case are inside. No need to look for anywhere else!

One Unusual Way to Keep Cool!
Wednesday, July 02, 2008

 The best way to stay cool is to wet your ear-lobes.

Whether on the beach, in front of an electric or hand-held fan. Wet lobes with water or spittle and then fan yourself cool. You'll be amazed at how quickly you'll cool down.

Incense Sense
Tuesday, July 01, 2008

I use Incense in my home but I didn't like it when the ash would spill over the sides of the holders.

I found a solution to this problem.  I have them in decorative bowls filled with sand (free from my local beach) and now when the ash falls it mingles in with the sand.

The sand becomes aromatic and when I walk past the bowls without a stick burning I can still smell the wonderful fragrance.

Roll up!
Tuesday, July 01, 2008

In my airing/linen cupboard I like to roll up my towels into little sausages!

Fold them in half then again then roll them up and stack on top of each other. Makes finding a towel very easy and your cupboard tends to stay neat.

Also I keep my spare bars of soap in between them. Dry soap lasts longer, keeps moths away and smells nice!

Rubbish Tip!
Friday, June 13, 2008

You won't mind taking out the rubbish so often if you line the bin with three bags at a time - remove rubbish, and your back-up's already there!
