This is a little gross, but if you're out and don't have a tube of benedryl for the mosquito bite, if you rub a little saliva on it it will ease the burning and itching, not quite as quickly, but it does work!

Sorry if this is too flippant, but coincidentally arrived in an email this morning .....

Always keep several
Get well cards on the mantle shelf...
So if unexpected guests arrive,
They will think you've been sick & unable to clean!

In a similar vein, a friend of mine always keeps the hoover by the door so he can apologize by saying excuse the mess, he was just starting to vacuum ........

To remove chewing gum from clothes etc.....

Put ice cubes into a plastic bag, place on top the chewing gum to harden it and slowly scrape the gum off.

To clean windows and mirrors etc........

Wash windows or mirror in warm water and a drop of vinegar. Wipe with scrunched up newspaper until dry and shining. They will sparkle like new!

Pour salt on any food spills on the hob that happen while cooking. This stops the spills from burning, which can turn into a cleaning nightmare later.
