Tip: always take a picture of your stove or cooker before you go on holiday

Why

So, why would you do this? If you think to yourself “what a load of rubbish, of course I’ll remember whether I turned of the stove or locked the door”, this tip isn’t for you. But if you’re the kind of person who turns back at the end of the street to check if your door’s locked you’re the right person for this tip. Take a photo of anything that has you worrying: the stove, the fridge, windows and doors, the iron, plugs, you name it.

Theft

This trick is also great if you want to prevent theft. Smart burglars are sneaky and try to make sure you don’t quickly notice something’s missing. Do you have a lot of valuable jewellery? Take a picture of them. That way you’ll notice immediately if a ring or necklace is missing when you come home instead of months later when you’re looking for it. Are you going to give this trick a try the next time you go on holiday?
