You're welcome Grin.

My mum always always tries to open the car door while I'm still parking. And funny enough thinks I'm a nasty bitch for telling her not to

I also have a tip. When spraying deodorant under your arms, it's best to double check you haven't picked up hairspray insteadGrin

And the remote control does NOT belong in the fridge. That's somewhere you'll never think of looking until you wonder why the butter is still out!

When trying to squeeze a garlic press and failing, don't think "I know, I'll get more leverage if I put it upside down on teh counter a d press with all my might." It will create a garlic splurt up your nose and in your eyes which freaking stings, and You will smell only garlic, nothing else, for 3 days and nights and mornings and evenings and afternoons...

Chaos, the voice of reason.
