Here are some useful hints which I came across

• While cooking keep your recipe book page under a flat transparent pie plate,not only will you save the book from spills the glass will magnify the print and it will be easier to follow the recipe
  
  
• To dust furniture and small knick knacks,pull an old sock over your hand and dust away
  
  
• Hate ironing pleats,just use bob pins at the bottom of each pleat to hold them flat when you iron
  
  
• When shoe polish becomes dry and cannot be used add a little turpentine to moisten and soften it
  
  
• To prevent artificial jewellery from turning black apply 2 coats of transparent colour nailpolish on it,it also adds shine to the jewel
