1. Cover books easily. Make a tube out of clear plastic,
when the tube is flattened it should be wide enough so
the dust jacket will slide in easily. The length of the tube
should be the same length as the jacket. With care the
two hardcovers can be bent back and fitted into either
end of the tube.
2. If you have a cold and your nose is sore from blowing,
cover your nose and lips with vaseline overnight, soothes
and heals very quickly.
3. Paint the tops of your keys with different
colour nail varnish for identification.
4. Frozen soft cream cakes can get too warm
and sloppy when defrosted. Serve them frozen
as ice cream cake, easier to cut as well.
5. Watch out when you use a blusher
brush, stray black hairs can stay on
your face all day !
