Well I remember reading something about using ultrasonic cleaners for steeping purposes due to the oscillation so thought hmmm I've got an old ultrasonic toothbrush and a roll of Sellotape. Let's make this happen daft idea but it agitates the liquid and has a 2 minute timer so I get the pleasure of pressing the button and basking in my no doubt superb sellotaping skills ps I know I need my grass cut too.. Hmmm if I tie a piece of string to my whirly washing line pole and lend a powered lawnmower surely it'd cut the grass in a decreasing circle when it wrapped around it? right I'm off looking for some rope.

Love it !! I love coming up with daft ideas too dalealan !! The only thing I notice wrong in your photo is the pegs on your washing line ... one of my pet hates is seeing a washing line with pegs on and no clothes .. what ever happened to peg bags ??? Loving the creativity though

I use a carrier bag for when OH has forgotten something and doesn't want to upset the dog by coming back in doors ... living on the first floor in an apartment it's not a good idea to just 'lob' things out the window .. so I came up with the lowering device ... a carrier bag on the end of a long training dog lead !! ideal for lowering fragile objects down to the ground floor to save walking down stairs !! I keep it in the drawer in the kitchen

That should obviously be patented Wibble. Hmmm let's team up our ideas and go on Dragons Den. How can they not be impressed with our ideas. Worldwide global organisation and number one on the rich list for us. They'll bow down and worship our ingenuity. Don't think they know how much we ROCK!! But they will

Cool ideas I once taped a bottle of juice to a reciprocating saws blade to give it a good shake - worked very well until the tape broke, the bottle flew off and it took 5 minutes to find again

I was thinking about taping it to the inside of my car wheel or putting it in the washing machine in a sealed container but got worried about a potentially lethal coconut flavoured projectile hoofing off and maiming a friendly puppy

Another cool invention I came up with was this .. You remember everyone buying the coke bottles with their names on ?? Well I could only find Chris (and I HATE being called Chris !!!!!!!!!!!!) so after many visits to various shops and not finding a coke bottle with my name on I made my own !! Who needs Coca Cola !!!!!

Absolute genius Wibble. Plus it could also be marketed as an emergency hamster evacuation device in case of a fire. Oh we're gonna be rich... Rich I tells yea. Woooo
hows about we change everyone's name to Pepsi by deed poll then it'll be easy to find bottles with their names on 'em?
