the one that sticks in my mind is : roy g biv. for the colours of the rainbow
r.......red
o......orange
y.....yellow

g.......green


b.......blue
i...........indigo
v.........violet

and its always worked for me.
 
I got taught this to learn my left from right at nursery school,
You write with your right hand and what's left is your left hand.
Works well for most kids,but not me I was left handed and I got well mixed up!!!:D
 
The easiest way to remember your wife's birthday or your Wedding Anniversary is to forget it once.

So I'm told!

Can't forget Christmas - I've got two kids to remind me! Birthday - no chance!
 
30 days has September,
April, June and November.
All the rest have 31,
'cept Feb which has 28 and 29 every four years.


Sadly l've forgotten the next one, to work out when it's a leap year. :(
 
counting your knuckles works for figuring out how many days are in each month......starting with your index finger nuckle count January then for Feb u count inbetween the knuckle and so on.......the knuckle is 31days, inbetween the knuckles is 30days:D

Here's a method that works for most. Hold your hands out in front of you, with the index finger point upward. Move the thumb so that it is at a 90-degree angle to the index finger. The hand where the two fingers form the letter "L" is your left (unless dyslexia is a problem).
 
Thirty days hath September, April, June and November, all the rest have thirty-one. It's so unfair.
 
I heard another one which starts:

30 days have Septober, April, June and no wonder


I forget how it continues
 
i have heard of tying string round your finger or tying a knot in your hanky to remember things you have to do .i find it easier to write it on my hand,,(i dont always have a hanky )sniff sniff

It took me a while to work out what you meant there John.

Presumably when you typed it it looked a lot different.

Something like this?

I learned to play the ukelele (I like George Formby, OK?) and to tune it you sing "My dog has fleas". Don't know why, but it works.

Reading music - Every Good Boy Deserves Favour and FACE for the treble clef; Good Boys Deserve Favour Always and All Cows Eat Grass for the bass.
 
ah ,now i understand ,thats very clever, i thought it was some kind of code that i was too thick to understand at first.

there's also, remember, remember, the fifth of november with gunpowder, treason & plots.
can't remember if there's anymore to it, he he.
 
l'm still trying to work out how many days in the month from Slinky's knuckle buster!

Simple? Either l've lost a couple somewhere or May is going to be 16 days long this year. :)
