Gems
1. More than one person in the house? Divide the tasks up into ‘blue
jobs’ and ‘pink jobs’. For example: I have the washing machine, ‘He’ is
not allowed to touch it. He has the dishwasher and ‘I’ am not allowed to
touch it. Keep to the strict divide, locking up, taking rubbish, watering
plants, cleaning pool, feeding dog etc. It saves repeated questions like
“Have you locked up”?
2. Use rubber luggage bungies to hold sun mattresses onto sun beds.
3. To freshen up your m akeup, don’t add another layer, just blot
your face with single layer of tissue, don’t rub.
4. If your daily tablets are in a blister pack, use a fine
line marker pen to write the days of the week under
each tablet.
5. If you hear people make disparaging remarks
about buying freshly laundered clothes in charity
shops, mention to them how many perspiring people
might already have tried on their ‘New’
item in a retail store!
