My Life on a Plate

Scarlett Ribbon

Scroll up. Scroll up. Notice anything? After 280 entries I finally got myself a Scarlett Ribbon. Okay, maybe it's pink but I like that song a lot. So, a great big thank you and rib-squashing hugs to zwisis for the awardicon and allowing me to join the ranks of the beribboned bloggers. It's made my day.

And just to prove what a worthwhile blog I own, I offer you these few pieces of practical advice forwarded to me today.

A mouse trap placed on top of your alarm clock will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep.

Don't waste money buying expensive binoculars. Simply stand next to the object you wish to view.

At supermarket checkouts a Toblerone box makes a handy 'Next Customer Please' sign for dyslexic shoppers.

Avoid parking tickets by leaving your windscreen wipers on 'fast wipe' whenever you leave your car parked illegally.

Before attempting to remove stubborn stains from a garment, always circle the stain in permanent pen so that when you remove the garment from the washing machine you can easily locate the stain and check it has gone.
