GEMS
1. There is at least a third of a lipstick
remaining inside the holder when you
think it’s finished. Use toothpicks to
transfer it to a small cream pot and
apply with a lip brush.
2. Take photo’s of family heirlooms
and write their history on the back.
Small ornaments and jewellery can
be photographed in groups.
3. Hang washing inside out on the
line to prevent fading in the sun.
4. If wasps are a nuisance in the
swimming pool, spray some harmless WD 40 on the water. The wasps
drown because the surface tension
is broken. Remove them with a net
before swimming in case any are still
alive.
5. Use an A - Z address book to keep
a record of books you’ve read. File
under author’s surname.
