should there be a category for handy tips.

[emmie]

the sort that might help someone else, perhaps it is covered in another category, if so sorry. I wasn't sure what category to put this question in.

[ChuckFickens]

Suggestions, maybe?

[mccfluff]

nah chuck i would go for adverts

[ChuckFickens]

You'd go for food and drink..... but that's nothing to do with the question :p

[ummmm]

Handy tips about what?

[AB Editor]

I think this might be the whole of Answerbank?

Although, you may mean a place to add tips without someone asking a question about them? General unsolicited tips?

A nice thoughts - we do have articles and we do encourage users to submit their own if they have scribbled their ideas down. Would this be something you'd be interested in?

Spare.

i have a craving for milkshake, is it too early?

[ummmm]

No Fluff....I usually have one first thing every morning :-)

Strawberry Crusher....

[venator]

Go on Em, give us a handy tip, so we can see what category might best suit....

[rowanwitch]

If you haven't got an eraser soft white bread will remove pencil marks....

[mccfluff]

[ChuckFickens]

Never stand up in a canoe.

If visitors are coming spray polish in the air like air freshener they think you've cleaned.... and lay the table...they think they will get fed at somepoint

[AB Editor]

It is entirely possible that em10 wanted cooking tips?

I.e. What do I add if my stew is too salty?

You lot are meanies.

Spare

[rowanwitch]

If a chilli is too hot add sour cream.... if a curry is too hot add yoghurt... was that the sort of thing you meant...

If your meringue mix splits add a small amount of cornflour and a little cream of tartar then go buy meringues at the supermarket instead

[mccfluff]

if your stew's to salty add potato's

[coriander2]

That's a great suggestion em10.I just love reading handy tips. The problem is though, I often forget about them when they could come in useful LOL. My handy tip is to rub liquid soap/detergent onto a bathroom mirror to stop it steaming up. The good thing is ithis realy works.

[emmie]

well some here just want to take the p**s, i was trying to being helpful.

for example if you can't open a food type jar, the ones with a metal lid, get a wooden spoon, and tap the side of the lid, twice if necessary to make slight indent, and it will open, lets say i have yet to see it fail.

[ummmm]

But is it just food related handy hints?

[emmie]

If your clothes slide off hangers, like irritating strappy t shirts, girls thats for you, well mostly! put elastic bands around the ends of the hangers, it stops them slipping off the end.
