"Oddly simply one but not using the blunt side of the knife when buttering bread and nearly always tearing the bread.  "
Using the blunt side of the knife?
Nobody does...you simply put butter on it and drag the sharp end across the bread!

Spoken like some one who doesn't have freshly baked bread 
When I realised frozen fruit keeps your drinks cold with out watering them down the way that ice does. (Grapes and berries working the best) |

Mine's really ridiculous.
I'd been in labour with my eldest for 3 days and the contractions were pretty much constant. I'd been needing a poo for absolutely ages, but had held back as I didn't think it was an appropriate time for such a thing. Eventually the midwife said "right, does it feel like you need to empty your bowels?" I said "umm, yes", wondering how she knew. "That's the urge to push! You need to push now!" She said in exasperated tones.
Nobody bloody told me that having a baby felt like you needed a crap, so I'd been doing labour wrong for 3 sodding days!
Nell
Ps I didn't poo.

I've seen a few of those things on Fakebook and Twatter about how we've been doing things wrong - like the Oxo example quoted above and how to eat / break off pieces of Toblerone (you push inwards rather than outwards) for example .. Sometimes you do have a WTF moment and think why couldn't I see that all along? |

Not unless it's a pretty classy toaster. Mostly the numbers are there so you can experiment and find a setting that's right for you. |

Eureka! Crush before you open so you don't get all those bits stuck to your fingers!
If only I'd known.
What I did know is with microwave packets of rice squeeze them between fingers and thumbs to seperate the rice before cooking. A bit like OXO really. |

It is really annoying when you get a bit of toblerone up a nostril though |

This made me giggle. My boys 11 and just watched living and growing at school, he was mortified! He said "mum they told us what masturbation is. Ewww why would anyone do that?!" Hahaha I don't think he will have that attitude much longer! |

Noooooooo.. Milk clogs up the tea bag .
If you put the tea bags in a pot then it is allowable
to put milk in 1st , otherwise you are not drinking Tea
you are drinking milky hot drink with a dribble of something else .
In a cup Tea bag hot Water , spin the bag a couple of times arouns & dunk completely then lift bag out .
a smallish anount of milk but enough to lighten colour .
with or without sugar .

But if you repeat it often enough he may have said it   |
