    I thought it would be good to share ideas and tips to make life more interesting/fun/less mundane

    My Tip:

    Instead of going to Motorway service stations, go to National Trust properties. Its £70ish for the family for the year(which includes parking in Cornwall and will pay for itself almost instantly based upon the over inflated prices you get at MSSs) and you can have good food and coffee at better prices in surprising locations. Also they’re all over the country!

    Plus you’ll be sure to find a petrol station to and from the motorway exit.

    Avoid getting prosecuted for using your phone while driving. Simply pop your mobile inside a large shell and the police will think you are listening to the sea.

    Sit down when having a middle of the night pee. This way you can close your eyes and not worry about your aim.

    Sit down when having a middle of the night pee.

    make sure you leave the seat down when you go to bed if you choose not to turn the bathroom light on for sat down midnight wees. Sitting on cold porcelain wakes you up fast.

    Avoid the hassle of changing your underpants every day by putting on five pairs on a Monday morning and removing the outermost pair every evening.

    A toilet block placed in the innermost pair of underpants may also keep inevitable smells to a minimum.

    CONVERT black labrador dogs into seals by feeding them pastries,
    sweets and cakes, starving them of exercise, slipping a pair of
    black socks onto their front paws and smearing their coats
    in vaseline. Then encourage them to balance a beach ball on
    their nose in return for fish-shaped dog biscuits.
