Tip 15: Always keep water, aspirin, and hair of the dog on hand for those nights you over-indulge.
Take care, Juniper.

Tip (16) - Always make sure you have fruit juice in the fridge.
I find that really helps. (Drink water at night and fruit juice in the morning.)
Tip 17: Use Coca-Cola to remove the most stubborn stains from anything
(burnt pots, toilet bowl, mildew)

Ohh, that's a good one, Mrs N drinks that stuff. I hope it still works with diet, I'm sure she'll still insist on spending good beer money on a range of plastic cleaning bottles though.
Tip 18 - Don't forget to use paper plates and cups.
The kids think it's a party and it saves on the washing up!
Seriously this week has been a living hell with pots everywhere (I have mostly had the kids) so I have once again re-discovered the joy of paper plates.
Tip 19: Don't walk and text due to street furniture.
My face is testament to this folly.
lol (still laughing; thanks Paul)

This should have been number 1 but hey-ho...
Tip #20: Join a literature forum; preferably "Online Literature Network.

Great idea for a thread! The collected wisdom of Litnet, all in one place!
Tip #21: After cooking a very hot curry, put the toilet paper in the fridge.
"I should only believe in a God that would know how to dance. And when I saw my devil, I found him serious, thorough, profound, solemn: he was the spirit of gravity- through him all things fall. Not by wrath, but by laughter, do we slay. Come, let us slay the spirit of gravity!" - Nietzsche
Cheers, it's the little things that make a difference.You sir have just changed my life !
Seriously never thought of that, and it makes so much sense too
Tip 22: If you ever need a swill down at work or somewhere without hand towels, ball up a good hanful of toilet paper and pat yourself dry.
(Pat don't rub, as the toilet paper disintegrates quickly). I've done this many times after riding around venues for work where there are inadequate ablutions.
Tip 23: If you're looking after the neighbour's dog while they're away on holiday and the dog dies, blu-tack the dead dog's front paws to the window as they're about to return, and then, when they've seen it and waved, take it down and pretend it died suddenly through the excitement of seeing them again.
This was one option open to us when our neighbours returned from a hospital stay once.
love tip 23!
Tip 24: Ask your friends and family for useful tips for a happy life

I remember a landscaping job I had next to an old folks village. All day long this old bloke stared through his window at us working, all day, didn't get up for lunch of anything, also didn't seem to blink
No wonder
At least he wasn't there the next day
Tip 25 - when shopping stick to your list, even if there's a great special on something you'd normally ignore
It might seem like a bargain, but that oyster sauce was off! Two days bedridden with the shakes - not worth it

Tip 26: Never put off to tomorrow what should be done today, put it off to the day after tomorrow.

Tip 27: If you scratch your arse, you shouldn't bite your fingernails

Now that's my sort of tip. I couldn't tell you the jobs I have put off, I would get repetitive strain injury from typing.
Good tips all round - keep it up folks. I'll collate them at 50/100, if we get that far, (hence the bold to see easily) and we can sell the list to unhappy people and make lots of money and split the profits...
Tip 28 - Eat nice bread and drink real coffee.
It makes all the difference.
