What ingenious little life hacks would you like to share?

Apparently I have vastly improved the quality of a friend's life by sharing my method of storing (for disposal) used tampons. It's probably not original but simple and easy. I throw them into scented biodegradable doggy poop bags (I buy the them in bulk anyway so they're really cheap). Then they can be thrown into the kitchen trash without any unpleasant sights or smells. Very useful when we're staying as guests at other's homes. My friend is preparing to temporarily move in with her inlaws and has actually been a little worried about this since her inlaws are maniacally houseproud and any reminder of human presence is frowned upon . Just wondered what other little things people do to make life easier?

I used the "hook eggshell out with some eggshell" tip today when making fried eggs (in a sandwich toaster, naturally) and it worked a treat. :)

This will be really handy if you're required to perform high fives in your daily life.

To perform the perfect high five every time, look at the other person's elbow as you are doing it. No more missing and looking foolish.

Also if you are one of those people that always end up not being able to get past other people coming the other way and doing the leftie rightie dance.... as you are approaching someone think clearly in your head "I am going to go this way". The other person will magically head the other way avoiding sorry! sorry! shuffly silliness.

HTH.

Yes....but LeaveMyWings....I did that until I read that cat litter and cat poo is quite dangerous to wildlife if flushed away.

This was some years ago and now I've written it down it sounds a bit silly.

I'm off to Google
