Biological washing powder in hot water cuts through the greasiest of cupboard tops, and also lifts burnt on food from pans

A fishy odour can be an early sign of electrical fire. If you smell such a smell, and it makes no sense (such as in a bedroom) check electrical items near by.

This saved my life recently. I hope it’s helpful for
others.

this also works with nail varnish if you've no remover.

Now where did I put that manky skull? 🧐😆

If you've done too much washing to fit on the line. Hang shirts/tops/dresses/whatever on hangers and hang the hangers on the line.
Much quicker to put it away too once dry, if you're a non-ironer like me. You can just take the clothes, nicely already hung up, off the line and stick them straight in the wardrobe.

Do loud looking if you have lost your child- instead of just shouting their name shout “I’m looking for a little girl with curly hair- blue top on” or whatever. That way people glancing around them will be aware if they see the child.

If you're ever stranded in the arctic and need to eat a polar bear for food, DON'T eat its liver etc etc etc.

Slice the liver and place it in a circle around your bivouac so that other beasts feast on the liver and die before they get to you.

You probably know this but always worth a share.
If you have any concerns about a bf - yours or someone else’s then use Clare’s Law to see if the bf has a history of violence against women. Local police webpage for form.

Thank you for that plantar advice, OP. Didn't know that. If mine flares up again, I'll ask.

Walking through fields with a dog that have livestock in:

Sheep: lead on
Cows: lead off (unless you have an Australian cattle dog obvs)

Option 3 is one that I take which is just never go into a field of cows.

I have never been offered cortisone at the go, always had to go private.

Use an app like one note to share lists with household members. DH and I share a shopping list so whoever is passing a shop knows what is needed.

If you need to set up power of attorney do it ASAP. It takes ages.

Only buy one colour if socks eg all black or all white, patterns are a pita

Never try to wash your hands in a bison. They don't like it😂

How some people don’t know some of these is really quite shocking.

Or people do and posters are teaching the masses to suck eggs

If your arse hurts after lying on the sofa watching tv for too long, simply roll over onto your front and continue watching.

This wins! Made me actually LOL

I always do this too!

I also bring a plastic box (like a small laundry basket) to put the takeaway into so that it doesn't tip over and spill!

You don’t know what you don’t know though! And I personally feel much happier about my upcoming visit to the Arctic now I know about polar bear livers 😜

When going for your smear lie as flat as you can. Means you’re not sitting on your cervix and it’s not so tilted so easier to get to. Also can negate the need to sit on your hands, which causes dead hands.

I have zero bear knowledge. I don’t think that’s shocking.

Oh but come on, some of these an average 10 year old should know
