Ants, they are said to never cross a chalk line. So, get your chalk out and draw a line on the floor or wherever they tend to march. See for yourself. ( they just walk around it?) If they are like my kids, they won’t walk a chalk line – it is an invitation to jump right over it. Don’t put your kid in the drive way and draw a circle around her. It won’t work. He/she will crawl right over it.

If you're tying your woman in the kitchen when you're going out, use an elastic cord and measure it so that she can almost reach the door. It adds a fun element to her day and she'll be kept exercised as well trying to get out. I suppose if she wore a fluffy onesie she could clean the hall while going in and out! It's a win/win situation!  |

After cleaning your ears with cotton buds. Bite the cotton part and despose. The plastic shaft that is left makes excellent light sabers for lego figures.
May the force be with you |

For unwanted smells (strong foods etc. I'm clean lol ) in fridges or cupboards :
Get an ankle sock and either chop a lemon and gently squeeze into and then place the slices in the sock tie in a knot leave in.
Do the same with either lime or go for crushed coffee beans too.

Use superglue to fix old dryer sheets to your finger in order to disguise the smell of arse on your finger while drinking free pints. |

"VINEGAR AND WINDOWS.. apparently they shine... I dunno.. but apparently they do.. white vinegar or sumfin
"
They do...and great for shower screens! Listen to me....all Kim and Aggie. Didnt they rub light bulbs with essential oils too to fragrance a room? And I think you can use baking soda for absolutely everything. And always hoover your cats with the attachments....its easier than getting them to lie on the rug spreadeagled. And if you're burying your ex husband under the patio, plant him vertically leaving the head above ground. Add a hosepipe and you will have an attractive water feature...... |

I always thought it was bury your wife head down till the waste. Then spread her legs to the splits position and bend one toe upwards. You now have a device for telling which way the winds blowing and a somewhere to stick yoir whirly line into or a 6 seater bench with a candle holder and a ash tray in the middle |
