Some more tips to make things a bit easier for you this weekend.

Heat Your Food

Microwaves can be useful but when they do not heat up leftovers like they are supposed to it can be quite frustrating. Next time you need to heat up the previous night’s dinner, try to make a hole in the middle of the plate. Your food will be nice and toasty warm.

No Screw needed

Ever gone on a picnic and forgotten that you purchased the fancy wine with the cork, and now you have no corkscrew. Well fear not. By heating the sides of the bottleneck the cork will just jump out. This can be done with lighters, or some coal that you can get from the braai.Try it! It works like a bomb.


Worst case scenario

We all have lost our cards at some point, or maybe it was stolen. It is quite tedious having to call to cancel the card and then get a new one, not to mention the stress of wondering if the person that either took it or picked it up will try and use it. Here is hack how you can actually get your card back and not risk anyone using it.

Put a sticker with a fake PIN number on your debit card. If someone does try to use it more than three times, the ATM will swallow the card.
