■ If you have a lovely pair of shoes that are a little too tight, here’s how to stretch them. Pull on a thickish pair of socks, then put the shoes on. Now direct your warm hairdryer towards your feet for a minute or so – this should make enough difference that you’ll now be able to enjoy wearing your shoes again.

■ On the lookout for a new clothes drier? The Vileda Sprint 15 3 Tier Airer is light, portable and can handle a full machineload of separates and undies. Folds away flat for space saving. £19.99 from SHOP.VILEDA.CO.UK

■ Next time a zip gets stuck, reach for your lip balm. A little amount applied to the tricky spot should see you right.
