Dirty Talk

My flowers usually last a lot longer if I put two aspirin in the water.

13. Shoes got a soaking on the way home? Don’t stick them on the radiator like I did. They still feel nice crispy when I put them on. I’ve since discovered that patience and some paper stuffed into them is a much better solution, although drying may take a few days.

With burns in carpets, you can’t improve them by cleaning. After a few hours scrubbing I got nowhere. I achieved a much better result in seconds by trimming the burnt fibres off with some scissors. This works really well for smaller burns.
