Use Toothpaste!

Dab a little on your silver items them buff off...believe me - it REALLY works!

To get something out of a heat register or under the fridge,  
add an empty paper towel roll or empty gift wrap roll to  
your vacumn. It can be bent or flattened to get into narrow  
openings.  

I copied this from a site for handy hints. I love ideas like this. Simple ideas yet very effective!

Another vacuum cleaner tip I use is to pop a cotton wool ball inside the cleaner ( I have a bagless Hoover so I pop it inside) and I add a drop or two of perfume oil on it. The house smells lovely and fresh after I have vacuumed!

I live within a budget and a certain amount is allocated to food for the week.

I used to push my trolley around the supermarket with my calculator but so MANY times I would press the wrong button and delete the whole lot and have to start again :(

Well, there's a calculator function on my old mobile phone and once I have pressed in the amount of each item it stays plugged into it-even if I hit a wrong button I can just delete it and plug in the correct amount - without wiping out the whole total.

Why did I not think of this sooner? It has made my life and my shopping trips a whole bunch easier that's for sure!

I have found a way to reduce the amount of cabbage smell that eminates in a kitchen when it's cooking!

Wanna know the secret? Freeze it!

Cut up your freshly bought cabbage, wash it, pat it dry with kitchen paper and portion it into ziploc bags -press out the air and seal. Then pop in your freezer.

When you come to cook it it takes about 1-2 minutes in a pan of boiling water OR alternatively stir-fry it in a little olive oil which I like to do. Delicious!

And, quite by accident, I found there's no lingering cabbage smell in the kitchen so now I get to eat cabbage more often in my diet and we all know it's very good for you!
