Simply buy a Dyson.
It has so many 'bells and whistles' that you husband will decide it counts as a gadget and start using it.
Then when ever you want the vacuuming done just get the Dyson out and start using it. Your husband will be worried that you might damage it so he'll appear and take over.

Superglue a load of drawing pins, point-side-down, to the bottom of your shoes to make an effective, stylish, and practical snowshoe. Then you can skip home without slipping on your arse and breaking your fucking neck.
And as a bonus, if the rough kid from the housing estate you walk past starts lobbing slushy ice at you, you can retaliate with a shoey spikey weapon of death to his mongtastic, astonished face.
And if you miss the first time you've always got a spare.

Get rid of shite programs like "60 Minute Makeover" and plonk them onto ITV4, then stick re-runs of "The A Team" back on.
What a difference an hour makes....

If you find all your conversational titbits are coming from episodes of QI, try reading a book.
I sincerely hope this social phenomenon is confined to my personal experience, however.

by using you surplus salt stock to effectively melt your way to the nearest store, bank or post office which was hastily closed due to a little snow and then rob it - it's not like you're going to get chased is it?

Avoid knocking on every door in the street by looking at the roof of the property first. Those houses with considerably less snow on the roof will invariably be lacking in the loft insulation department.

If you have stomach pain and deem a trip to the Hospital appropriate,
the doctors will more than likely suggest a colonoscopy and an endoscopy.
For god sakes, make sure you have the endoscopy first!!

run your wrists under the cold tap for 5 minutes before working with it. The cold water cools the blood going into your hands. Also, use your fingertips as they wont melt the butter in the mixture because they will be the coldest part of your hand.

Check to see if your local operator is running a night-bus schedule in your area. We got the 2am bus home this morning, for £2 each. Rather than a taxi that would've set us back about £15.
and there was a later bus at 3am.

When renting a car, find out how late you can be before the reservation is cancelled, and what time they close. If they grant an hour grace, and close at 6:00pm, reserve the smallest cheapest car for 5:00pm. Then, show up at 5:55pm, and ask for your car. All of the smallest cheapest cars will be gone, as they get scooped througout the day by frugal travellers. They may initially suggest you pay for an upgrade subtally (not letting you know that they don't have anny tiny cars left). Tell them you want the smaller car for gas mileage, hatchback etc. Then they will appologize, and give you a free upgrade.
Or, they will tell you to feck off.

and providing it's about 9pm on a Saturday evening, find an excuse to visit Asda (or any other supermarket with a large carpark). Because of the weather and that the store will be closing within the hour, the carpark will be practically empty. This gives you ample opportunity to fuck about in the fresh snow doing handbrake turns, drifting, j-turns and the like which is guaranteed to make you look the coolest dad ever in front of your teenage kids.

Hoard any old kitchen- or toilet-roll tubes, and before you wrap the presents stuff the tubes with newspaper til they're solid and sticky-tape them firmly to whatever you're wrapping.
The unusually shaped present will cause your friends and relatives to think you've got them something unusual and exotic and it will keep them guessing right up until they unwrap the inevitable pair of socks or Lynx deodorant/shower gel set.

Do you work for a very large company? Are your company not doing too well in the current recession? Perhaps even running at a loss?
If you are going to be selfish despite still having a job (unlike the thousands who are currently out of work due to said recession) and are planning on showing your appreciation by attempting to stage a strike to ensure your company loses even more money, and ruin some peoples Christmases while your at it; then at least ballot current employees, not those recently made redundant who may possibly be ever so slightly biased.

Are you the boss of a very large company earning the sort of money that is akin to the national debt of a small African Nation? Do you want your staff to work more hours for no extra gain? Worried they might go on strike to show what an (in the Irish prime ministers words) “evil, manipulating and self centered turd” you are?
Fear no more, the British legal system with it multiple loopholes will bail you out. But heed my Christmas warming; there is no such thing as a free lunch.
A little part of me died today.
