z Want bananas to last a little longer? Do not separate your bunch, and wrap the tip in foil.

z “After a hard day’s work in the garden, I soak in a rosemary bath. It’s a natural anti-inflammato­ry, and it smells wonderful. I just add a few sprigs from my plant out back to very hot water, and then let the water sit for a while until it’s just warm. Then I get in. Heaven!” – U.A.

z Keep laundry baskets in your car boot or the back of the SUV for easier organisati­on. You could even add a small cooler to hold cold items if you need to make a stop somewhere on the way home from the supermarke­t.

z “Here’s my tip: Use a muffin pan to make big ice cubes for drinks.” – A.L.

z If you have trouble telling your black slacks from your navy ones, here’s a tip from L.B: “Put one small safety pin inside the front waistband of the black, and two small safety pins in the navy pair. This also shows the front at a glance, and in case of emergency, you have a pin to use.” z Reader N.B. clips puzzles out of his local newspaper and takes them to his local copy shop to get enlarged. Then he saves them to do with the grandkids when they visit. “They sure do love to come to Grandad’s house,” he says. z If you have teens, they can help out by being responsibl­e for dinner one night a week. This will teach them to be independen­t and let them make a contributi­on to the household. The bonus is that it’s one less night parents have to prep and plan!
