Poster: A snowHead
|
From time to time we get a thread posted asking for solutions to problems, I've done it myself. I wondered if we needed a thread for rounding up those useful things that people find work or are useful to them in one thread. I'll give you some idea of what I have in mind with my own contributions.
1. Before you dump the kids old worn-out school bags or worn out ski/outdoor gear in the dustbin scour them for useful 'bits and bobs' and detach with scissors and sling them in the back of cupboard until you need them. I've used: webbing, plastics belt clipps and adjusters, toggles - sprung loaded and otherwise, strong sections of material, and even the padded straps for all sorts of things: Padding around webbing helmet straps that have rubbed in one spot or another, mending travel bags, making ski glove lanyards, replacing broken bits on decent outdoor gear, securing bits of fancy dress outfits, making handles for cardboard shields for kids to playing kights and dragons. The odd section of rubber welly and leather boot is also worth holding onto for fashioning into emergency gaskets
2. polishing the inside of googles that are prone to fogging with a smidgen of washing up liquid every couple of days works wonders.
Any more?

SKIERS. Simply cut the ends off your old unwanted socks and voila! A stylish and practical winter coat for a small dachshund.

Steve Sparks, I think alluding to this thread being a bit like Viz Top Tips has been done before.

Save yourself the time-consuming element of a ski holiday by encasing your feet in concrete and standing in a freezer in front of an industrial fan, periodically burning bundles of notes.

Instead of taking stacks of adapter plugs on your hols for the kids ipods, DS games etc. etc. Take a 3m long 5-6 gang extension lead and 1 adapter, keeps the kids all in one place if nothing else!
