There are social tariffs for broadband and water if your on some benefits.
If you have Plantar Facilitis a Cortisone injection can be given free at the doctors and helps relieve the pain.
Tell us something we might not know that can help us?

Also in a heatwave, keep your windows and curtains closed. What helps keep heat in, will also help keep heat out

Don't forget your polar bear sauté pan!

Are they also called bear-cats?

If so, I saw one in a zoo and I liked it. They are nice and chunky, like an arboreal Skye terrier.

Oh I thought it was that dried meat you get in packets like butong

Don't spend time and money on washing, drying and ironing clothes.

With the current price of electricity, it's cheaper to take them to a charity shop, let the staff wash and iron them, and then you can buy them back!!!!

If a supermarket is buy, don't go for the shortest queue, look at the cashiers and see who is moving fastest - their queue will move faster.

If the cashier is a bear you may be drunk or on drugs.

Crikey so did I....as a child I used to love it and was always told off for doing so. I guess when you're young you has so many bumps and scrapes there is plenty of opportunity. Just recovered from a bad scrape on my leg that scabbed up like something off the moon. I picked it clean in the later stages so those telling off obviously worked whilst the thought did well up in my mind, Proust like, a forgotten memory briefly kindled.

Also ladies remember when you get to the till that you do actually have to pay so get that purse, wallet or card ready to go when the cashier has finished so prompt payment can ensure. This also applies to loyalty apps - get em ready.....

Interesting. It has held true for every car I've ever driven. Which cars doesn't it work for? And what happens in those cases? Is there just no arrow, or does the arrow point to the side without the fuel tank (which would be really odd)?

On a water meter then just flush the loo once a day before going to bed but make sure you keep the lid down between uses and the window open to help dispel any smells. If monies really tight at a push you could go to 2 but no more.

If you have a garden you may wish to consider a bucket, modesty curtain and compost bin to save even more and make valuable garden fertilizer. If you have male wee then this can have the added bonus of deterring local foxes.

I don't know, but you will find the answer in every 'things you've only just realised' thread ever posted on Mumsnet. (Along with misinformation about toasters, geographical revelations about Portsmouth and Gibraltar, and the fact the Channel tunnel is underground.)

If you then realise you want to insert another row, hit F4. F4 repeats whatever you just did so can be used for all sorts, like formatting.

If you use cell references e.g. "=B4" F4 will also cycle through =$B$4 =B$4 =$B4 =B4, it will do this for a single reference or a complete equation depending on where the cursor is.

Also, don't stand behind me, because I am the Death of Queues, Bringer of Destruction: no matter how smoothly everything has been going up until point, I guarantee my presence will cause the whole system to melt down (I SWEAR I don't do this on purpose. I clearly have a demon in me).

Never play cards with a guy called Doc.

Please go on to an open day with me to Keele @borntobequiet too nervous to do it all on my own😅

Just kidding :P

And the other important gambling tip:

“One of these days in your travels, a guy is going to show you a brand-new deck of cards on which the seal is not yet broken. Then this guy is going to offer to bet you that he can make the jack of spades jump out of this brand-new deck of cards and squirt cider in your ear. But, son, do not accept this bet, because as sure as you stand there, you're going to wind up with an ear full of cider.”

Also look at the amount of shopping waiting on the conveyor and in people's trolleys.

Be wary of queuing behind anyone clutching a fistful of 'money off' coupons. Invariably at least one coupon will be problematic and require the intervention of a manager.

I think people tend to underestimate the time taken to pay, and overestimate the time taken to scan. So it’s better to stand behind one person with lots than two with a little.

You can usually distinguish the faffy types from the poised with wallet/device ready to pay types!

Tip: once you have chosen a queue at the supermarket, stop thinking about it. Even a bad decision is unlikely to add more than a couple of minutes to your trip.

if you need a telephone directory and havent got one, the local library has one you can look at.

If you get a scam caller don't slam the phone down but pretend to be hard of hearing, appear old and infirm, keep them hanging on the line with various plausible excuses and after say 15 minutes of the getting increasingly exasperated let the penny drop that you've just wasted their time. One call I ended with (it was an Indian call scammer) was to tell them that they had very good English and are obviously intelligent and have probaly been to University so why are they wasting your life working for gangsters trying to rob vulnerable people. Aren't you better than this and how do you sleep at night ?

Then they put the phone down.

Wriggle your toes during painful or uncomfortable medical procedures like cervical screening, blood tests or dental work. Another one to try is pressing your thumb and first finger together, but toe-wriggling usually helps best.

remember that when im at the dentist, how does that help then?
