articels or recipes of interest, and found this page called
" reader hints " and would like to share some i find quite
useful, here are the extracts ......

Then soak the jewellery in warm water for about 10 minutes
Finally, rinse them under running water.

2) Here's a tip on how to make boiled vegetables look
fresher and greener. All you have to do is put a few

3) To stop new shoes from causing blisters, rub candle wax
