Ok, here's a tricky one?

I have, in my fridge, half of a lemon and a quarter of a semi-squeezed lemon.

Does anyone have any good ideas what I can do with them?

Be as creative as you like, I will chose a winner and provide a prize (and you know how good my prizes are!).

Thanks, in anticipation,

Andy :D
 
Stick them in your fridge - they absorb all sorts of smells - including pizza!!
 
You could run them over your shower head - it totally unblocks them and normal flow is restored.

Thats 2 suggestions - please can i win now!
 
Why dont you use the peel and let it infuse in a bottle with some olive oil , and use it for a nice lemon dressing.
 
3 parts Vodka
3 parts Tequila
3 parts White Rum
3 parts Triple Sec
3 parts Gin
5 parts Lemon juice, approx 1.5 lemons:D
6 parts sugar syrup (use sweetener instead!)
Splash of Coke

Add ice and stir

= Long Island Iced Tea

Do I win the prize?
 
Oh good one Steffie!
 
You certainly win mine Alison - I could just drink that now - its been one long day today!
Do we really need the lemons though>>

This currently recommends itself to me, since I have some extra virgin olive oil in the cupboard.

But it's still all to play for!

Well yes, the vitamin C helps counteract any possible hangover. 😉
 
Surely Alison wins that one hands down? 😉
 
but all that alcohol compared to a bit of olive oil - come on Stef
 
AlisonM is coming up strongly on the rails (er sorry, that sounds like I'm comparing you with a horse) 😱

Hey, I resemble that remark!
 
Well here's an odd idea. I have discoloured elbows (not dirty, actually a skin pigment thing) but when I got married when I was 21 I had no idea what was wrong withthem and scrubbed and scrubbed and they didn't get any cleaner. Sooooo I took some lemon and sat with my elbows in the lemons for ages and did this for weeks before the wedding to bleach my elbows and bingo it worked.

So if you need to bleach anything on your body use the lemons. You can bleach your hair using them as well.

Is that whacky enough? 😛

Yes, my godmother showed me that trick too. It does work.
