good one Lady!
Re: HOUSEHOLD TIPS NOT FOUND IN WOMAN'S WEEKLY
We have similar strong `lifetime' bags from the supermarkets. I've even used one for carrying heavy garden tools to and from the garden and it lasted several years before the sharp pointy tools pierced the bottom.

Me thinks you were secretly carrying Stanley's bolt cutters...

Well I had to `borrow' them for our trip in the Merc to the bank to do our Bonnie & Clyde raid!

Mrs. Tiz will have my guts for garters...
Re: HOUSEHOLD TIPS NOT FOUND IN WOMAN'S WEEKLY
She's been having a great time travelling with her sister from Finland to Latvia and staying in fancy hotels so she probably hasn't noticed!

Never leave the plastic container of nuts uncovered and accessible when you leave the room in charge of a dog who likes nuts.....

Our old dog used to help herself while we were busy saying goodnight to guests. It became habit to put things up before we left her alone in the room.

If you live in an old stone house with thick walls be grateful when there is hot weather. They warm up far more slowly and last night in the front room it was 72F, far cooler than outside.

Re: HOUSEHOLD TIPS NOT FOUND IN WOMAN'S WEEKLY
Yes...but they do warm up and take longer to cool off. When I lived in an old stone house, I was known to hose down the outside walls to speed the process
Re: HOUSEHOLD TIPS NOT FOUND IN WOMAN'S WEEKLY
Gosh...I am soooo annoyed with myself tonight. I clearly remember taking the Metformin from the packet, but can't recollect swallowing it. Not in my pocket....must have swallowed it...but I can't remember the exact moment.( conversation going on at the time)
Concentrate when taking tablets!

It's been re-discovered by the sustainable housing people but they now like to call it thermal mass.

Re: HOUSEHOLD TIPS NOT FOUND IN WOMAN'S WEEKLY
I once visited a house built using straw bales, possibly the best insulated building I was ever in.
I heard an 'expert' yesterday recommending putting your pillow in the freezer before bedtime. I have a better idea, do away with the pillow and use a towel instead.

Or just sleep naked without covers, works for me, slept like a log last night.

Re: HOUSEHOLD TIPS NOT FOUND IN WOMAN'S WEEKLY
We sleep like that at least 8 months a year, Panbiker...
Re: HOUSEHOLD TIPS NOT FOUND IN WOMAN'S WEEKLY
Imagine it being 10C hotter and lasting for 2 weeks.
I know I'm in my own little world, but it's OK... they know me here.
Re: HOUSEHOLD TIPS NOT FOUND IN WOMAN'S WEEKLY
Shrouded in mist and constant rain and drizzle and mizzle today. But at least the wind has stopped. Need the lights on to read anything. Hard to believe we will be back in short pants in a few weeks.
Send all (clean) unwanted vests, in plain packaging please.

Re: HOUSEHOLD TIPS NOT FOUND IN WOMAN'S WEEKLY
Ignore the hyperbole about 'the heat wave' and carry on as normal keeping indoors and cover with one layer of natural fibre. Farmer's tan is the best......

Re: HOUSEHOLD TIPS NOT FOUND IN WOMAN'S WEEKLY
Yes you can but slightly smaller rooms.
Be extra careful to avoid food 'going off' in this warmer weather. Even with a fridge there is more chance of it happening, especially when it is very humid. Us Oldies can remember the milk going sour very quickly in thundery weather. The old milk chaps used to deliver twice a day in the days before everyone had a refigerator.

Re: HOUSEHOLD TIPS NOT FOUND IN WOMAN'S WEEKLY
I suppose this can be seen as a household tip. If you have elderly relatives beware of fraudulent takeover of their direct debits. It looks like this might have been a scam by a bad carer or someone who had befriended the person. Or even an in-house job by a bank employee...

Re: HOUSEHOLD TIPS NOT FOUND IN WOMAN'S WEEKLY
That definitely qualifies as a tip Tiz. What a callous crime. One safeguard would have been if an LPA for financial affairs had been set up in which case the attorney would have had possession and control of all cards and correspondence. So that's my tip for today, guard against leaving loopholes like this open by registering an appropriate LPA. As some of you may remember, I have taken my own advice and set up both LPAs [Finance and terminal care] and registered them.

Re: HOUSEHOLD TIPS NOT FOUND IN WOMAN'S WEEKLY
A friend who recently had to go into a care home but did the right thing by passing the power of attorney to his son. After sorting out his immediate finances he found his mum & dad had literally dozens of direct debits made out to various animal charities that had been running for years but forgotten about. The tip is to review your direct debit commitments and cancel the ones that are no longer applicable.
