Handy hints


To ensure our curtains run smoothly, rub the track with a duster moistened with spray furniture polished and buff up.

Keep a pair of nut crackers in the kitchen drawer and use them for opening stubborn tops on small jars.

When travelling at night, coach or car passenger may find it helpful to wear sunglasses to reduce the glare from on coming traffic.

If you find it difficult to replace a broken zip in clothing, use a strip of Velcro touch and close fastener instead.

When the right hand rubber glove wears out, keep the left hand to slip on for shoe cleaning.  It’s the hand hold the shoe that gets dirty.

To bring new life back to cotton wool. Place it next to a heated radiator or in an airing cupboard to restore the fluffiness.

To make attractive napkin rings, cut cardboard tubs from kitchen rolls and foil into short sections. Collar with raffia. Winding it round and round, and fasten the ends with a dab of glue.

An empty lipstick case, cleaned out, makes a decorative holder to carry several needles threaded with different colour cottons.  Keep it in your handbag so it is at hand for unexpected repairs.
