I bought a piece of 1.5 inch stiff foam to try to fix a sag in a bed. It didn’t work but having that thick piece of solid foam around has been a life saver.

Need something flat to put a laptop on? Throw it on the foam. Going to be doing something that requires you to be on your knees for a while? Get the foam!

It went from stupid purchase to something I’d gladly replace if it broke.

    A set of small neodymium magnets. Didn’t have a plan, only they looked “super cool and strong wow”.

    Used for:

    • Locating needles in the carpet.
    • Fishing keychains out from behind sofas, gap between garden deck and house, and so many other places.
    • Makeshift fix for an old cabinet door that tended to glide open.
    • Holding nails and screws while fixin’ stuff.
    • Attaching a soda bottle to the office lamp in a way that is easy to undo while still pissing off HR.
    • Slapping it on a screwdriver to make it magnetic.
    • Fidget toy.
    • Regular ol’ fridge magnet.
