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.

    • https://chng.it/YXCH5XXVMY We live near and it’s absolute hell. The noise of the people coming and going from Peckham is the worse. They are so loud and obnoxious. This is my 5th year of this nonsense. People vomiting in my front garden, urinating in my neighbour’s gardens, throwing food into my garden. Screaming waking up my children while waiting for their Ubers. The people that organise this festival are 100% obnoxious. They told us there would be security along our road (there wasn’t). I asked them to put up my family in a hotel but they wouldn’t. It’s actually a human rights infraction for all of us this badly affected. Over the years I have spent so much money trying to be away this weekend but none of us should have to. The data also shows that most people coming are not local residents - so of 3000 tickets sold, hardly any to residents; it’s easy to argue that it disadvantages us residents way more than any conceivable benefit. My elderly neighbours are besides themselves. Every year the setup and striking of the festival blocks off the park during half term, plus the antisocial behaviour and loud noises mean actual children that live here are prevented from using the park and playgrounds. The police initially rejected the license last year… then suddenly changed their mind with no apparent reason… seems legit. Also the GALA team lie and make false statements in their advertising about consulting with us (they don’t they just tell us what is going to happen then are extremely obstinate and rude). My neighbour runs Friends of Peckham Rye and has been totally distressed by all the damage done to recent planting initiatives funded by the local community. GALA do not repair this, GALA pay off Southwark and then Southwark refuse to confirm what they are paid, or how much (if anything) is spent to repair the park.   This needs to be stopped once and for all!!   Petition asking Southwark to stop providing the license to GALA once and for all.    I mean I am sure they will listen to us just like they did about the LTNs…   https://chng.it/YXCH5XXVMY
