Anyone want to share any random things they do (useful things)
For example..
I butter bread using the back of a spoon, it's much easier than using a knife (my mum thinks I'm crazy)
I cut meat with scissors rather than a knife
Share :-)

Cut pizza with scissors, but you probably do that too...

Did you know that those coloured plastic kids' cups from IKEA are an exact cup measurement? I was so delighted to find that out.

Use flat bottomed ice cream cones instead of cup cake cases for some quirky party cakes.

Ooohhhh never thought of pizza with scissors !!

Polish bathroom mirror with shaving foam - doesn't fog in steam.

One I got from MN - end all those irritating battles with cling film by noticing that there are two little cuts in the cardboard either side of the box. Press them. They are tabs. Push them in and they will grip the roll of clingfilm, holding it in place and making it much easier to use.

I got to the age of 40-something without having realised that...

Yep NewTo, they back just great.

Don't shave legs, use Veet - never have to defuzz the plughole.....

Like that one, ruthless. Clean the glass/plastic shower panel with Harpic Toilet Cleaner, it gets rid of the limescale so much better than normal cleaner. In fact, just clean your whole bathroom with Harpic, especially if you're in a hard water area.

apparently veet is good for putting down the plughole if anyone in your house has long hair, to stop the pipes being blocked by hair.

Newtothisstuff · 22/07/2012 22:10

That makes total sense edam

I discovered the other day that you can make Big Mac sauce by mixing together tartare sauce with tomato ketchup.
