HOUSEHOLD HINTS
Have you tried cutting French beans with scissors? It is an excellent idea.
A good cure for burns: Take a raw potato, scrape on a fine scraper, mix with olive oil, place on burn. It will give instant relief. Carry a small bottle of liquid nailpolish in your handbag, and when you get a ladder in your stocking dab a little of the polish at the start of the run. It will stop it immediately, nor will it wash out. Remove bad stains such as mud, paint, and black grease before putting the clothes in the wash. Wet the stains with alcohol (even whisky!), camphor, or by pouring a stream of hot water through them. A stain once set by suds is a problem.
