Simple quick fixes 實用日常生活貼士

 

 A sealed envelope - Put in the freezer for a few hours, then slide a
    Knife under the flap. The envelope can then be resealed. (hmmmmmm....)
  
============================
   Use Empty toilet paper roll to store appliance cords. It keeps them 
   Neat  and  you can write on the roll what appliance it belongs to.
  
============================
    For icy door steps in freezing temperatures:get warm water and put Dawn dish

   washing liquid in it. Pour it all over the steps. They won't Refreeze.

   S.O.S pads last me indefinitely! In fact, I have noticed that the scissors get

   ''sharpened'' this way!
