Iffin you are ever down on your luck
Feelin the pinch and not having much pluck
Improvise is the name of the game
Using another, not exactly the same
Like
The time, when the hose springs a really big leak
And You Stop the flow, before, you have a small creek
It is then, that you must decide
To run inside
And grab the Duck Tape
What amazing stuff this tape is..
Mate!
Round and round you wind that tape
Trying not to leave a gape
After all, we don't want you in a dither, like a big ape
You see, the duck tape will help you to improvise
And so will old panty hose, much to your surprise
They can also be used to tether the plants to a stake
And those nylons, have many more uses, make no mistake
So take it from me the Improvise Queen
Because a hundred and one improvisations, I have seen
From using vinegar to scrub and clean
Or!
For a cleaner wash, try a drop of Eucalyptus oil in your machine.
Yep!!!
I surely am the Improvise Queen.
Milli!!!
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.................

ReplyDeleteUses for Eucalyptus oil around the house
Aside from medicinal uses, eucalyptus oil can be used around your home to replace many environmentally harsh synthetic chemicals.
Penny, a professional cleaner, wrote to me with these tips:
"I make a spray and wipe with water, eucalyptus oil and some washing up liquid. The idea comes from a hospital cleaner and works well. Proportions are not rocket science. Fill bottle mostly with water - add a slurp of dishwashing liquid and then a capful or thereabouts of 100% eucalyptus. Shake gently to mix. Works well on all surfaces.
I use it diluted again in a little water in a bucket and it is great for all those finger marks that are hard to move from laminex finishes."
- You can also make a general disinfectant for toilets etc and again, it's a very simple recipe. mix 50 ml (1.6 oz) of eucalyptus oil with a liter (quart) of water. That's it - you can store it as you would a normal disinfectant.
- Eucalyptus oil can be used neat in order to remove sticker/decal residue from glass
- Add 1-2 teaspoonfuls of eucalyptus oil to your load of washing for a fresh scent along with the anti-microbial benefits
- Use the oil neat to help remove paint, grease and ink from clothes
- If you have a hanging car air freshener that's almost dead, reinvigorate it by adding a few drops of eucalyptus oil
- Half a teaspoon mixed with half a liter of water makes for a good bug repellant for plants
- Use it as a stainless steel cleaner
- To use as a room air freshener, Mix a quarter of a teaspooon or 15 drops of eucalyptus oil with a half teaspoon of vodka, place in an atomizer/spray bottle and add 2 cups of water. This should be quite subtle, so you may need to add more.
Wash bedding in hot water and small amount of eucalyptus oil and get rid of dust mites.
Oh! you Aussie Sheilers.
ReplyDeleteYou have covered mine so here is one in return.
Running an old V8?
Petrol Probs?
Remove the push rod and bung the hole up with silver paper from your fag packet.
Last about 300 miles. Don't forget the goat skin. lol
I like this Milli! Now, what to do for severe toothache, till you can see a dentist...
ReplyDeleteTeri sorry to hear about your tooth. you see the chemist and buy oil of cloves in a small vial. Dab a cotton bud into the vial and then dab the tooth and the area lightly with the oil. Use sparingly as it can be poison in large quantities. It does numb the area where it touches and deodorises and helps to keep the area clean in your mouth. Reapply when necessary or ask the chemist for another suggestion. If you are able to take paracetamol containing a small amount of Ibuprofen then that can help to relive pain and inflammation.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Will keep this in a file.
