When life gives you lemons....or limes

When life gives you lemons…or limes

Day 1 Pour yourself a nice glass of your favourite gin, add tonic, ice and a slice of citrus.

Day 2 Grill a piece of fish and squeeze over some citrusy juice.

Day 3 Remove pips, plant 3 or 4 in a small pot. Leave on a sunny windowsill and fingers crossed you may find you can grow your own tree.

Day 4 Take half a lemon and rub over sinks and basins, shower doors and baths, particularly useful for rubbing around taps. Helps to remove limescale and leaves shining and smelling fresh.

Day 5 Just when you think there is no life left in your poor old lemon, pop it in a bowl with some water, place in the microwave and heat for 1 minute which will help to remove grease and food residue, wipe down to clean.
