    Couldn't find our bottle opener at the weekend and after almost taking my hand off with knives, scissors, etc it turns out that my eyelash curler doubles up as a bottle opener! Who knew!

    Plus my hair straightener does a great job of ironing when I'm too lazy to get the iron out.


    Any other of your make up/hair instruments that have other uses? (No durtiness now please people!)

    Nail polish remover is good for removing the gummy sticky stuff that "Do Not Park Here" stickers leave on your car windows!

    A standard pair of ladies knickers make an ideal jizz wipe!

    Oh, me too!! I use them for cleaning the makeup off my dresser. In fact, I use them for cleaning pretty much everything in my room cos I'm too lazy to get the cloth from downstairs.

    yeah, if I may just attempt to redeem myself, make-up remover pads and skin toner can be used to clean your camera lens if you're stuck..

    Not exactly new but works anyway.

    Clear nail varnish for the start of a snag on your stocking...works wonders and you can get away for the whole day without he dreaded zzzzziiiiiiiiiiiiiiiippppppppppppppp.

    Also, clear nail carnish again on the inside of costume jewllery to stop the metal turning your skin green.

    Superglue for a quick but temporary fix of snag of nail until you get your hands on a file (and stay away from the stockings with this! )

    A small car makes an ideal roadblock when driven at a snail's pace in a overtaking lane of a motorway.

    Its all about the drying, get the clothes out of the washing machine quickly and hang them onto the clothes horse. no need for the iron then!

    That's actually a really good idea. Irons are sometimes simply too big to get all the tiny folds straight, so I for one find your idea genius! :)

    ladies undies are great for cleaning inside of windscreens etc and you can pop them in the bin afterwards and never fess up

    Apparently if you spray hairspray on your car registration plates, the scanners for the congestion charge in London can't pick them up...maybe it's the same for the M50? :)

    I've been known to use my eyeliner when I'm stuck to write a number down & there's no pen around.

    When I didn't have a clothes dryer & my clothes were still a bit damp, I used to use my hairdryer to dry them. It works!

    Tampons are apparently handy for temporarily stopping blood loss from bullet wounds.

    "Apparently", eh? So you're the spy on boards that the Conspiracy Forum have been talking about!

    Hair conditioner as fabric softener. Because you're worth it :D

    And in the vein of 'babywipe uses'....chuck a couple in the dryer with your clothes...cheaper than dryer sheets and yum smell.

    And no I don't have a laundry fetish...

    Baby wipes are one of the greatest inventions ever. It just scares me sometimes that I also use them on my kids. Then again they do remove the "you've been tango'd look" after the pasta perfectly! ;)
