Please could I urge you not to throw your used Christmas cards away. There are several re-cycling schemes you can use:
- Look out for card recycling bins in your local Tesco or W H Smith. They collect them and pass them on to charities which make good use of them.
- Pass them onto your local nursery, playgroup, Sunday School or infant school. They will turn them into gift tags to sell for extra funds or charity.
- Alternatively, cut off the back portions, place them in your recycling bin and use the front to make your own gift tags for next Christmas.

What's the worst tip you ever read? Mine is the Take A Break one where it says if you are near the end of a tomato ketchup bottle stand it in the cupboard upside down.

Why is that a bad tip? It works.
The worst I saw was a woman who'd written in asking for hints on how to get a curry stain off a yellow plastic spoon. People actually wrote in with suggestions! For some reason they failed to print the obvious one:
Throw the bloody thing away!

We had a useful tip emailed from our stationery department this week. It was that too many boxes of rubber bands had been requested and could everyone please recycle them in future so that there was no need to buy new ones. Do they seriously think we all use them just the once and throw them away? And don't they realise that they break?
