    #1. Before doing the weeding, scrape your fingernails on the soap bar, its easier to get soap out than dirt.

    #2. Don't leave your Rizlas next to the computer cooling fan. It makes the sticky bit curl up.

      #3. When pouring milk into the smoothy maker, make sure the tap is turned off first so you don't just pour straight onto the work top.

          #5 Before attempting to remove stubborn stains from a garment, circle the soiled area with a permanent pen so that when you remove it from the washing machine you can check the stain has gone.

            #6 When the cat's just been outside for its early morning 'ablutions', best not let it come straight upstairs and jump on your bed.

                  #8 BUS DRIVERS. Pretend you're an airline pilot by wedging your accelerator pedal down with a heavy book, securing the steering wheel with some old rope, and then strolling back along the bus chatting casually to the passengers.

                  #9 AVOID parking tickets by leaving your windscreen wipers turned to 'fast wipe' whenever you leave your car parked illegally.

                    #10 MOTORISTS save fuel by driving as fast as you possibly can. An engine running at full chat is running at its optimum power output, plus by getting to your destination quicker means you will definitely do so before the fuel runs out.

                          1) Buy dented tins at half price from the supermarket

                          2) Take a boot full of reduced dented tins of food away on holiday with you to save buying expensive stuff whilst away

                          3) Turn off the ignition when driving downhill to save on fuel.

                          There the savings ended, as this is unfortunately a true story (not us!) and the car's steering didn't work with the ignition turned off and it crashed, negating all the savings on those half price cans of baked beans.
