Random Handy TipsAs I hear of, or remember helpful advice I'll add it here. I'll try to make sure it's a genuinely helpful list... Mild food poisoning - drink flat Coke. Shower curtain - buy one that's shorter than your bath. That way you can leave it closed and not make the curtain or bath mouldy. Also, fit it high so that only a small amount rests on the side of the bath. Loosing weight - add more activity to your lifestyle. Walk more or take up a hobby that suits you. Diets or a new activity a long way from your current interests are usually short lived. A winter cold - put lemon juice, very thin slices of ginger (these should dissolve), a spoonful of glucose/fructose/sugar into a mug. Fill 1/3 orange juice and the rest boiling water. Migraine - a hot shower on the back of the head/neck gives short term relief - sometimes enough for tablets to kick-in or to just get to sleep. You can also buy a microwave bean bag - these are great. Put them in the microwave with a mug of water, check the temperature and then wrap it around your head/neck and try to sleep. Loose door hinge screw - if the screw won't tighten in your door hinge because the thread has gone, try putting a matchstick or two into the hole (snap off the dangerous end of the matches before you start). Don't use chewing gum during a diet - chewing causes the stomach to produce acids (it thinks there's food coming). This causes additional hunger pains and can damage the stomach lining - it digests itself! Hayfever - don't take preventative medicines all summer, wait until you really feel it, then take a good tablet. We eventually build up our own defence but you won't know if you're always on medicine. Most people are only affected for a couple of days in a year - try to bear with it! |
