How long did it take to train the cat to use it?

I used to have long hair which I tied back in a ponytail. Now my hair is short. I still have a few of those things I used to tie my hair back with so I use one of them to keep the end of my belt from hanging down.

I used to use a "go-go" to keep my jeans tied when i was pregnant before i had to take out the maternity pants.. attach one end to the button and in through the hole and back around the button again. Especially good in the early stages.

Charity clothes bags used to double up as refuse sacks during my college days. Also paper and cello tape for makeshift plasters when nail bit too short

I use a bin for my old teabags.

You leave them on the sink?

I'm not trying to be smart or anything, I'm just curious why people never squeezed them in the cup, then threw them out.

You're apparently not supposed to do this. It changes the original flavour of the tea. Something to do with acids or some crap. Ive stopped doing it and noticed its less bitter, but only by a tiny bit.

I dont know how true this is and I dont care enough to google it. Although if you're one of those people who take the teabag straight out after pouring the water on it then you're doing it wrong anyway and just probably adding a little flavour to your hot milky water.

Some people like that though. My parents make really weak, milky tea. It's awful.

Ehh what excess.

I don't believe it is practical either. I wonder what sound it makes.

liquid soap, put plenty of it on toilet roll or on a baby wipe and get a really really clean anus in half the time a normal wiping session would take minus the liquid soap

Sugar and washing up liquid is good for cleaning oil off your hands, for really stubborn stains use a pinch of washing powder as well but if you do then rinse thoroughly.

Same, my father nearly has the bag out before the water has even gotten to the top. I suspect a lot of people just do it out of pure ignorance/habbit.

use a drinking straw to wrap rizlas around as I cant roll very well

You can tether your phone to you comp and use it as an internet connection, the speeds are ok.

Ehh Tayto bags are a bit bigger than condoms like... And I still reckon it would feel horrible. Not possible unless you're locked altogether I'd say.

Men who use Tayto bags are hung as horses and a bit of discomfort comes with the pride of filling out a packet. Magnum men have nothing on these boys!

Gerbils. Just as long as you make sure to clip their little toe nails first though.

Lilly of the valley pot plant is both pretty and also useful for resolving simmering arguments that have escalated to a dangerous degree.

My shower back brush has a loop in the wooden handle for hanging it up.
It is also excellent for opening/closing those windows that are slightly out of my reach.


My carving knife came in a set that also included a large two pronged fork for stabilising the food to be carved.
This fork makes an excellent, if slightly risky, backscratcher.

Those Celebrations tubs you get at Christmas come in handy when need something to pour popcorn into.

I have an awful habit of kicking open my sitting room window and having to swing tea towels at it for ages to try close it. Theres a hell of a drop out there(im the PH) so I cant lean forward too much because Im afraid of heights...I will use my shower brush from now on!

Taps.
Good for washing your hands and getting garlic stink off them by rubbing your fingers along it.

Hairspray is a great fixative for model railways, holds down the grass/scatter/ballast

Dangerous Man

Hairspray is also good for photographers. If you're shooting indoors, and you're getting too much shine from doors, spray some hairspray on there and it will dull the shine without damaging the finish.

Frying pans are good for decking abusive husbands, that's what happened to my Xes father when his wife finally snapped, it was hospital for him followed by a barring order, things got better for the family after that.

He never pressed charges, which was the only decent thing the alco ever done.

Use a thick guitar plek to open electronic stuff like phones and laptops without causing damage or scratches.

Pringles lids are brilliant for covering opened dog food tins.
