Handy Hints for Wednesday ~ 21
Make up your bed with all your fitted sheets on at one time and as one sheet gets dirty just peel it off and your bed is still made up and ready for use.
A used condom rinsed out thoroughly and checked for leaks can be reused many more times. Any leaks can be patched with duct tape.
If you have tampons in the house, they make a wonderful plug for bloody noses. The rip cords prevent them getting lodged.
To ease PMS grab a ‘2×4’ length of wood and swing it about wildly. Be careful not to over use it as it can cause brain damage.
Never dust! It makes it so much easier to tell where to put things back.

I read the first one at least 3 times thinking “Huh??”
When I got to the second one I thought someone had spiked my coffee!
By the second last one I thought someone had fed you lots of dairy and left you by a keyboard….
Then I heard it was April 1st on Morning Ireland and I knew you were pulling my little legs!
Happy April 1 to you too!

Class stuff!
I read the first one in complete disbelief and it wasn’t until I got to the second, that the penny dropped!
Thanks for a great laugh

Very good GM! Like steph, I read the first one thinking… hmmm. It was only when I got to the 2nd one that I started laughing!

Another handy hint - always leave your taps running to ensure they don’t jam. And always leave the plug in the plughole so you know where to find it.

Grannymar,
Nothing new in your hints today! I have been doing most of those things for years now.
Here’s something else I like to tell people about.
Make your kitchen curtains out of terrycloth and when you wash your hands at the sink you can reach right up and dry them on the curtains!

Yeah the first one did me in, I thought OMG she’s finally lost it but when I started to itch from the duct-tape, penny dropped….;^)
Happy April GM

My brain was so scrambled this morning - the penny didn’t drop ’till I read the comments - I really must get more sleep!!! Thanks for the giggle.

Normal service will hopefully return next week.
Meanwhile Nancy give Nick those curtains so he can mop up all the water!

At last some really useful hints and no hint of vinegar. Love the tampon up the schnozz . . . that’ll clear the airways!

Baino, you be careful with your schnozz or I might have to administer some vinegar!

I had to read the second one twice, all the while thinking “ARE YOU KIDDING!?!” and then the light bulb went on. Yesterday - April first - hah - Helpful Hints on April Fools from Grannymar. A good laugh!

Today is Friday….I avoided Wednesday just in case… and I was right!
Nancy….now I have an expert’s considered opinion I can contact my mother and tell her I was right all along….I just have to find out where she is …upstairs or warming her always cold hands by Old Nick’s fires!
I used to dry my hands on the curtains and got into trouble for iT! Not fair as my father did it too!

Magpie… I won! You had to take a peep even if you waited until Friday.
