If you have hanging baskets high up, tip ice cubes in them, it's a lot easier than trying to angle a watering can up there.

 👏🏻👏🏻 Good thinking!

Prior to knee replacement surgery, fill your freezer. Especially if your OH needs a GPS to find the cooker 😉

Again, all the best for tomorrow! 💐

I never buy bananas. There are only a handful of things I don't like, and bananas are one of them. My mother said I ate them like crazy as toddler and just stopped one day. 🤷

 

 That’s a shame - and a surprise. Given your health thread, I imagined you of all people would know how incredibly good they are for you - great for a daily intake of potassium, antioxidants and B6, among other good stuff.

I try and aim for one a day,

Don't know if this is a hack. I just learned it, but maybe I'm just dumb.

I let my avocados ripen and then put them in the fridge. They last a week like that..

Before, I would either only buy two at a time, or end up wasting them..

BY simply " peeling" a banana , you can get to the tasty part easier.

It's just so full of goodness. ..!

Also, bananas are a great alternative to gift cards when you want write motivational messages to sex workers! 

She grabbed a marker, and said, "I am in charge of the banana messaging," and began to write words of encouragement on the bananas. Some of the messages included, "You are special," "You are strong," "You are brave" and "You are loved." With each one, she drew a small heart.

 I wish I liked them. Because they are also cheap (at least here). I don't like coconut either. If I ever get stranded on a tropical island I better get good at spearing fish or I'll starve..

 What about blended in a smoothie?

I keep some frozen banana slices in the freezer. I blend it with some frozen berries, spinach, cucumber, chocolate protein powder and the milk or ice, depending on what I feel like.

Great way of getting protein and nutrients into my diet and it takes delicious.

While we're on the topic of food, has anyone got a tip for keeping potatoes? I regularly order a pack of four baking potatoes from Tesco, I keep them in a cupboard in the kitchen but they start sprouting the tips of shoots after only a couple of days...

 Dark and cold.   Like your fridge.

 It sorta depends. I have smoothies all of the time like you described.  Half a banana probably would be fine because the other flavors would mask it..

 

I have frozen cubes of cantaloupe which are similar in potassium and readily available here.
