If you're banging in a small nail, push the nail through a thin piece of card first, then hold the card, not the nail.

To cure a headache drink a small cup of coffee mixed with the juice of half a lemon.

It tastes awful but it does the trick..

In the Winter when you don't have access to the herb garden, pot up an ordinary scallion from the market and keep it in a sunny window. It will thrive and you can use the leaves like chopped chives in any dishes that you normally use them in,,,,,,

Re: Anyone got any good tips...


If your animal pees somewhere it's not meant to, mix up a little biological washing powder with some warm water and clean the affected area with the solution. The enzymes break down the mess as a lot of normal detergents including bleach can clean urine smells so that humans think it is fine but animals can still smell the urine and will pee in the same place.

But you all probably knew that anyway.

Also laying down silver foil can deter a cat from doing it's business in a certain area as it doesn't like the sound of the foil as it steps on it.

Tomato sauce is good for killing the smell of poo on a pet's coat. If you have dogs you will know what I mean.

Re: Anyone got any good tips...


This isn't exactly a tip, but it's something I've found handy gardening. I tend to forget the seed germination time from season to season, so finally got around to bookmarking a link with a table (scroll down). It's been very useful to me....

Re: Anyone got any good tips...


Don’t mix cut daffodils in with other cut flowers as the daffodils produce a toxin that kills off the other flowers...

Toilet bowls come up shiny when cleaned with old, flat Coke or Pepsi. Leave overnight to dissolve limescale
