And the remote control does NOT belong in the fridge. That's somewhere you'll never think of looking until you wonder why the butter is still out!

When trying to squeeze a garlic press and failing, don't think "I know, I'll get more leverage if I put it upside down on teh counter a d press with all my might." It will create a garlic splurt up your nose and in your eyes which freaking stings, and You will smell only garlic, nothing else, for 3 days and nights and mornings and evenings and afternoons...

Chaos, the voice of reason.

Ensure your debit card is in your purse before starting your supermarket shop. Or at least check before you get to the till, have packed it all into bags and have three more customers waiting and tutting behind you. Blush
