Household
Opening a difficult jar lid
Heat causes the lid to expand, so try running the lid under hot water for 20 seconds. It should loosen the hold of the lid sufficiently for you to twist open.

Household > Cleaning
Clean tub with baking soda and bleach
For tough stains in the bath tub, pour baking soda over the stained area and then sprinkle bleach lightly over the baking soda so that it does not run down the drain. Next take a scrub brush and watch the buildup melt away. The baking soda helps penetrate the stain while the bleach removes it. It is a safe mixture with no chemical reaction.

3 ways to get rid of spiders
Spiders aren't very keen on strong smells and oils. Try these three tips to rid your home of spiders: [1] Place conkers (horse chestnuts) in the corners where a spider might make a web, also the surrounding husk if you can get that too. [2] Sprinkle cotton wool balls with lemon oil and place these in the corners of your rooms. [3] Spray the corners of your rooms and under furniture with strong smelling polish or air freshener. Spiders don't like strong smells.

Household > Stains
No more costly stain removers
With an outdoorsman for a husband and a son that does roofing, I was spending too much money on commercial laundry stain remover. Here is a recipe that I have found that I like. 1/3 cup ammonia 1/3 cup dawn dish soap (any cheap brand will do) 1 cup water.

Matching wallpaper
To make matching easier, when hanging wallpaper, choose random patterns that are smaller rather than larger patterns or stripes.

Increase safety by storing items in closets
Never use your garage or a small room as a storage area as this can cause a risk to one's safety. For example, people can trip over items in the garage or room. Use shelves and closets, as they were intended, for storage.
