If you have one of those long plastic garlands, that has snapped in the middle, you can get some wire from a florist/or wire from a picture hanging kit,and entwine it round the garland.

This works well, especially on heavy ones, but not on ones with electric lights on.

More tips to follow.

Any more out there, money saving ones etc.or where to get spare lights now woolworths has closed.

A large bucket or other container,can be kept on your balcony/garden to keep your drinks nice and cool saving space

in your fridge.

Pieces of fruit or mint can be frozen in cubes ,in you fridge for cocktail drinks.or non alcholic drinks.

A box of resolve sachets would be a good idea for the next day.

A nice coffee and a present for the driver to take the drinkers home.

Try and buy one game or mind game for the kids before Christmas, to distract them while you are coping with something

else.

For little kids jig saw puzzles, or Lego

The oldies can be settled, with a bag of marshmallows and an old film.

Good tactics for a bit of peace and quiet.

For more shrewder kids. bribery, I.O.U.s are good.

Before going Christmas shopping, make sure you eat something first. (stops you buying chocolate or burgers).

For a long journey by car.take a flask of hot chocolate always revitalising when you get back to the car.

If you have very young children and you cannot find someone to look after them, make sure their heads ,hands and feet

are kept warm.

Included in this are the following reminders.

1. petrol

2.trolley coin.

3 strong bags

4.Stick to the shopping list.

For a good effective car air freshener,place a fabric conditioner sheet (used in tumble dryers)underneath the

front seats.


Good solid Christmas tip for when you shit yourself in your car. Thanks.

So to keep my very young children warm you want me to set fire to them with petrol, brand them with a coin, then shovel their charred, smoking remains into some strong bags before, in an act of sick materialist irony, glueing them to a shopping list?

It's good to know you're fully embracing the Christmas spirit Ted.

If Christmas spirit = tips on going shopping, basic car maintenance, and immolating the very young then I'm right there, Herod.


Anyway, I'm not a fan of Christmas, I think it excludes the Islams and some of them Jewish fellers.



PS Can I use frozen lemon juice on my car headlamps? I am following your tips in order and have got confused.

Children should be wrapped up warm in the cold weather.

Most heat is lost from the extremities, so they must be covered.

As for cleaning car head lamps. lemon juice on a cloth does cut through grime very well

I believe Jesus was jewish.

If you dont like Christmas ,why read the thread.

    • I can't answer your question. But on them generally: it's changed hands in the last year or so, I think. I paid £35 for interior and exterior and they did a crap job. I'll go to the one on Herne Hill (or just do it myself if health allows) next time.
    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
