1. Make a frozen curry ready meal go further, make it healthier and
reduce the calories per person. Add one of the following: a tin of
chopped (troceado) tomatoes, a tin or frozen spinach, beans, lentils,
sliced mushrooms, corn or mixed sliced peppers. It will also cool down a
spicy curry. If you need to put on weight add a tin of full cream coconut
milk!
2. Put used tea bags in the bottom of flower pots to cover the drainage
holes, it stops the compost running out and is lighter than stones.
3. Bicarbonate of Soda will remove smells from shoes, sprinkle
a spoonful into each shoe, shake it around the inside, leave
overnight, shake it out in the morning.
4. If you keep you toothbrushes in a mug or your washing up
brushes in a pot. Watch out for the bacteria that grows in that
ghastly water in the bottom. It will be on the handles of
your brushes, uugghh!
5. Another use for those cleaning cloths found inside
spectacle cases. Wrap small items of jewellery in
them or reline small boxes.
