Did you know?

I only found out in my fifties that you turn the lid on tubes of stuff like antiseptic cream and tomato paste the pointy bit pierces the foil . Before that I used something pointy!

In my sixties I found out that you could crumble Oxo cubes in the foil and it was less messy (not the chicken ones though). Also that baby vests can be pulled down and not over the head to help avoid the 'poo everywhere' scenario. Lucky DGC!

I was 70 before I found out about the foil box/clingfilm flaps!

Happy Asparagus Day everyone. I'm looking forward to learning more!!

I Didn't know for a long while that the petrol pump light in my car has a little arrow at the side of it which shows which side of car the petrol cap is so you know which side of the pump to pull up at. A revelation...especially if you get a new or hire car.

Oh good. Can't think why I didn't us it on the cling film when I discovered the foil thing.

It does work KatyK and I only discovered the little flaps in a foil box about 9 years ago....

If it doesn't work, I apologise!

Well I hadn't thought about the cling film but yes of course! My cling film is rolling about in the drawer out of its box. Blimey!

No!

Oh happy day ???

Wow, have never spotted the flaps at the ends of the foil box !
And there are also flaps on the cling film box, I guess for the same reason.

I'm glad it's not just me! My DD said 'mum what do you think the little push in flaps are for?' Erm... I hadn't noticed them.

Wow! That will revolutionise how I use foil?

That makes me feel loads better, KatyK, I only discovered that out about 2 weeks ago, I’m 69 this year, I’ve obviously lived a sheltered life!

I didn't know until recently that if you push in the end bits of a box of kitchen foil, it will hold the foil in place. I am nearly 70

Did you know that Flushing as infrequently as possible (and keeping the lid down when you do) can seriously cut back on how many germs are floating around your bathroom.
And saves you money

Did you know that Aubergines turn black when cooked ?

There are more special days than there are days in a year!

Didn’t even know Asparagus had a day?
Let alone makes your wee smell funny

Mr P has gone right off asparagus since he discovered it makes your wee smell funny.

He thought at first that he had some odd illness..............

As an aside_May and Corbyn have both tweeted Happy St George's day.

What I have found out is that it is also National Asparagus day

GG, my pasta spoon doesn't have a hole, except for the little drainage holes.?

I read this morning that it is postponed if it falls in Easter week as saint's days are not celebrated in Holy Week.

Pineapples don't grow on trees.

The hole in the middle of a “pasta spoon” is one portion of dried pasta spaghetti.

angelic well it has not moved in all the 65 years it has been my birthday!

Did you know that if you rearrange the letters in "Dusty Springfield" you can make the words "Findly Dripgusset" ?

I'll get me coat................
