NATTER: THE WORKING GIRLS GREAT HOUSEHOLD TIPS



It's Monday and what better way to start the week than with some household tips from Margaret Fulton to get we working and stay-at-home-mums (SAHM) through the week. I especially like the response from the working mums to Maggie's tips. Quite witty, if I may say. See if you agree!

Margaret Fulton's way:
Stuff miniature marshmallow in the bottom of a sugar cone to prevent ice-cream drips.

The Working Mum's way: Just suck the ice-cream out of the bottom of the cone for Pete's sake. You are probably lying on the couch with your feet up eating it anyway!!

Margaret Fulton's way:
To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes.

Working Mum's way:
Buy a packet of DEB (packaged mashed potatoes) and keep it in the cupboard for up to a year.

Margaret Fulton's way:
When a cake recipe calls for flouring the baking tin, use a bit of the dry cake mix instead and there won't be any white mess on the outside of the cake.

Working Mum's way:
Woolworths sell cakes. They even do decorated versions.

Margaret Fulton's way: If you accidentally over salt a dish while it's still cooking, drop in a potato slice.

Working Mum's way:
If you over salt a dish while you are cooking, tough! Recite the working Mum's motto: 'I made it and you will eat it and I don't care how bad it tastes!'

Margaret Fulton's:
Wrap celery in aluminium foil when putting it in the refrigerator and it will keep for weeks.

Working Mum's:
It could keep forever. Who eats it??

Margaret Fulton's way:
Cure for headaches. Take a lime, cut it in half and rub it on your forehead. The throbbing will go away.

Working Mum's way:
Cure for headaches. Take a lime, cut it in half and drop it in a double vodka or gin. Drink the vodka/gin. You might still have the headache, but you won't care!

AND FINALLY, THE MOST IMPORTANT TIP…….

Margaret Fulton's way:
Freeze leftover wine into ice cubes for future use in casseroles and sauces.

Working Mum's way:
Left over wine??? HELLO!!!????
