If I've posted this tip before (or someone else did ! )

Take a cup of boiled water, 2 tablespoons of vinegar, 1 teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate, two cups of coke and half cup of lemon juice, Stir well, wait 3 minutes then put the pan in the solution for 45 minutes. Add a quarter cup of bleach to the mixture, then brush it with a firm toothbrush and put it back into the liquid for another 25 minutes.

Take it out, rinse and it will look exactly the same, so throw it away and go out and buy a new one.

Yep somebody posted it before but it was worth a repeat.

I've never seen it before ... funny!

Aren't they called  'life hacks' now. I must move with the times .. 
I still struggle with the ones that profess to tell you how to put a cover on your duvet  ... quickly, easily, with no problem.

There was a clever design I saw somewhere for covers. Instead of one opening both the bottom and a side have poppers or buttons. Seemed a reasonable idea to me.

The quick way to do it looks simple. You turn the cover inside out, then follow up with a quick flick of the wrists wafting the duvet in the air. The final stage is calling an electrician to mend the bedroom light.

I've done that before ... smashed the ceiling light.  :shh:

It was yonks ago when i was young, fit and strong (not to mention sexy) and turned the matress by flinging it over like a feather.

I'm pretty sure all pet owners can relate to that.
Same with dogs.
We tried moulding cheese around the pill.
Cheese disappears while pill appears on the floor.

Tunnocks Tea Cakes or the cheaper Supermarkets alternative, cut one in half, push pill into white creamy centre, give to dog, put other half back in packet. Keep in fridge it stops the chocolate melting in your hands.
Been doing this for over 40 years, never had any problem.
