From David Walliams, British Actor, Comedian January 31 2020

In Britain, a cup of tea is the answer to every problem. Fallen off your bicycle? Nice cup of tea. Your house has been destroyed by a meteorite? Nice cup of tea and a biscuit. your entire family has been eaten by Tyrannosaurus Rex which has travelled through a space/time portal? Nice cup of tea and a piece of cake. Possibly a savoury option would be welcome here too, for example, a Scotch egg or a sausage roll.

Give yourself a treat January 28 2020

If you fancy a nice soak in a warm bath, try taking a few teabags with you. You can either hang them over the shower head or taps, or just let them swim in the tub with you. And some of the flavours you might like to use can also add a delightful waft of freshness, maybe minty, jasmine, peppermint etc. You'll feel like you have been to a spa by the time you are through.

Give your tootsies a treat January 27 2020

When you feel the urge to soak your tired feet in a nice bath of water, pop in a couple of used teabags to nourish your skin, and generally freshen your treaders, especially just before you go to bed, and you will feel refreshed.

Freshen your hands January 26 2020

If you have been preparing smelly foods like garlic, onions, fish etc., try rubbing a teabag that has already done its duty, and your hands will be smelling like daisies in no time.

Make washing greasy dishes easier January 25 2020

If you like to put clean-ish dishes into the dishwasher, or if you wash yours by hand, pop a couple of new teabags into the warm washing up water and it will break down the grease in no time at all. It will also help to loosen any stuck on food from dishes or pans, and save you a lot of work.
