create decorative edging on your mince pies is a bit Hmm

And using a crash helmet a la Storm Trooper when cutting onions is also Hmm

Madamdeathstare - was that tip 'how to keep your dog in one place when you go out for the day?' Grin

My tip: feeling chilly, jack frost nipping at your nips? Wear clothes. A quick and easy way to keep warm and not get arrested!

The ones I love best are the ones where someone decides that their old coffee table/bedside cabinet/door/house/arse needs brightening up so they stick on lots of old photos. So they get a nice new piece of furniture that makes them smile every time they see it.

It makes me smile to see them too, as they are the UGLIEST things I have ever seen!

I love the photos of readers' craft projects, like sticking small photos of family into the crevices in egg boxes

I like the ones with little stories attached eg. I lost my glasses while on holiday in Magaluf, so I simply (always always must be simply) taped two magnifying glasses to my sunhat (see pic) Hey presto, all became clear, and as a bonus my eyes looked bigger too! (watch you don't squint into that strong sunshine, love, and burn your eyeballs, you daft mare!)

I saw one which was 'want to know what to do with plastic four pinter milk containers? - cut off the top, make two slits and thread onto a belt, - voila! a handy wearable peg holder' (also known as how to turn a piece of plastic tat into another piece of plastic tat)

"If you take your dog out and think he might need food or drink take a shower cap with you - simply folds up in your pocket and you have an instant dog bowl - but much lighter"

And the litre bottle of water and tin of pedigree chum ? - any tips on foldaway pocket versions ?
